This section explains the implementation steps required to implement a vertical by illustrating a typical process based development. The steps are explained with a clear mapping of the roles involved, what tools they use and the respective effect on the process life cycle state.

 

Legend:

Italic Text – Represents the Role performing the step

Bold Text - Represents the process life cycle stage or activity

Underline Text – Represents the tool used in the corresponding step

 

·         Business Analyst DEFINES the process using the GSi Modeler

·         Business Analyst passes on the above info to the Vertical Implementers

·         Vertical Implementers figure out whether new activity implementations are required or not

·         If required uses the GSi Vertical Generator to generate the template code and UI for activities and implements the same.

·         These new activities are deployed by GSi Administrator using the GSi Administrator Tool

·         Business Analyst MODELS the process

·         Uses the GSi Modeler to model the process using a combination of existing and new activities

·         Business Analyst sets the process for DEPLOYMENT

·         GSi Administrator DEPLOYS the process

·         Business Users EXECUTE process using the GSi Vertical API

·         Business Analyst / Business Users MANAGE the process ( Mgmt functions) using the GSi Monitoring Tool

o        Stop/Resume/Terminate

o        Resolve Exceptions

·         Business Analyst / Business Users can ANALYZE the process using the GSi Monitoring and Reporting Tool

·         This above step becomes the basis for OPTIMIZE
