Usage of Repository Editor¶

The repository editor allows to specify the building blocks for creating a system.

Contents of Editor¶

The editor consists of components, interfaces and data types, as well as of edges between these elements.

Component having one provided role and one required role shown by edges to interfaces.

Fig. 6 Roles of component¶

A component always has at least one edge to an interface that describes the provided services, a so-called provided role. As shown in Fig. 6, this is shown by an accordingly labeled edge. A component can have edges to interfaces that describe required services, a so-called required role. This is also shown by an accordingly labeled edge.

Within the components, there are SEFFs for every provided service, i.e. every signature of an interface that has been referenced as provided role.

Opening the SEFF Editor¶

In order to open the graphical editor describing the SEFF of the component, you can do any of the following:

double-click on the corresponding entry
right-click on the entry and select Open and the shown diagram entry afterwards

Please see the description of the SEFF editor for details on that particular editor.
