A visual description of how application functions and services are integrated with each other, both in a certain application module and between application modules. The description illustrates how data is sent between application tasks.
Purpose
The IM-view consists of a detailed image of integrations of physical application tasks.
Way of Working
- Choose a few logically related application modules, for instance from a flow or a process.
- Identify those application functions and application services that are included in that flow.
- Identify those application tasks that are included in the flow.
- Place application tasks in a way that makes it easy to follow the flow at the same time that it is possible to group them based on functions and services.
- Drag relations from the data that is sent.
- Place the modules and applications as background.
