Problem Statement Virtual Business Object WG

• Virtual Business Object • Object that has multiple parts owned by different owners• Single Master Repository solutions do not address all the issues

• Need to identify which properties of an object are the responsibility of which owning or originating systems

• Need to identify what use or operations are allowable on the properties by non-owner systems.

• Need to identify business process or usage patterns that are of interest

• Some aspects may be addressable by the current *_agency attributes

• Some additional attributes or elements may be needed• The WG will also look at something to help control/explain the

relations between different BODs• For example, update the Item Master before processing the

PO or• What do I do if I get an update to the BOM and the Item

does not exist yet



Proposed Scope Virtual Business Object WG

• Focus on identifying example business requirements, processes, and use patterns, identifying Object attributes or elements needed to support the processes.

• Analyze OAGIS Objects existing capability to support identified business requirements and processes

• Identify new attributes or elements needed to support identified business requirements and processes

• Target limited examples of existing OAGIS Objects

• Look at addressing the relationship between BODs

• Does the solution need to be instance specific or some other method not yet defined?



Key Deliverables Summary

• Narrative Problem Statement with example application

• Scenario diagrams with narrative illustrating requirements

• Analysis of existing OAGIS capability• Proposed enhancements - added attributes

and/or elements, (to be backward compatible)• Could possibly be a new object but may be a

new BOD



Scenario Diagrams

• Scenario diagrams with additional narrative will be developed to illustrate the Business Context, and related business processes- May be expressed in either UML or BPMN



Analysis of existing and new attributes and example business processes • Existing and proposed attributes will be

analyzed in the context of the identified business processes.

• Note: Scenario Diagrams and narrative will be developed to illustrate business process use of the existing and new proposed attributes.
