Technology Product Builds are used to capture logical technology architectures that describe the specific technology products that are used and the dependencies between them. This short tutorial introduces the Technology Product Build class and describes how they are modelled.

Purpose 

Technology Product Builds are used to define how Technology Products are brought together in a particular configuration that provides a technical platform for supporting IT systems. This configuration (if we have those details) is defined in the Technology Provider Architecture. 

Tasks 

To define a Technology Product Build: 

• Give the Build a name and description
• Create new instances of Technology Product Build Roles (see Define Technology Provider Role) to define Technology Components (often Technology Composites) that this Build implements. 
• Create a new Technology Provider Architecture for this Build (see Working with Architectures for general guidance on defining an architecture).
  • Create a Technology Provider Usage for each component in the architecture (see Defining a Technology Provider Usage)
  • Define the relationships between each component.
