This short tutorial takes you through the steps required to capture the deployment of Technology Product Builds and Technology Provider Usages to physical Technology Nodes, using the Essential Meta Model.

Purpose 

To move from the Logical View of Technology Components and Technology Providers, to the Physical View of Technology Nodes, we deploy Technology Instances of Technology Provider Usages to these nodes. This maps the architectures (Technology Product Builds) to the physical technology that exists in the enterprise. 

Tasks 

Instances of Technology Provider Usages are deployed to Technology Nodes as follows: 

• Ensure that the target Technology Node has been defined in the model 
• From the Technology Product Build that you want to deploy, open the Technology Product Build Architecture. 
• For each of the components (Technology Provider Usage) on the architecture: 
  • Select the component and open its definition 
  • Create a new instance from the field: ‘Deployed Technology Instances’ 
  • Select the specific type of Technology Instance to create (most technology products are Infrastructure Software Instances) 
  • Complete the Technology Instance definition form.
