Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Re: [SOA-RAF] Interested in helping with Mgmt Model?
Michael,
I really appreciate taking time to go through the Mgmt model as currently
articulated in the RAF but we knew going in that the focus there was by and
large too focused on systems management and so that is why we gave Dan Heston
the opportunity to write something up, which he did and I've attached to this
note. This work was done back in Sept of last year and there are a few e-mail
threads on the topic plus some discussion on the calls, but then the topic was
unfortunately dropped. Nevertheless, I will review your recommended updates as
they look quite well thought out. In the meantime, if you could review Dan's
draft update, that would be much appreciated. It is still mission visual (UML)
models.
Thanks again!
- Jeff

Jeffrey,
as promised, I have reviewed the Management Model section and attached my notes.
Since we deal with Management Concept, it influences other Concepts in the
document. This required me to look through the entire document and review every
occasion where management is mentioned. As a result, I have several notes and
proposals for changes in other sections, e.g. in Governance sections, there are
references to TOGAF 8.1 which are outdate already due to TOGAF 9.0 available for
a year already.
Thus, I have extracted all related text fragments into separate document and
modified them as needed. The line numbers have been preserved and match the line
numbers in the original document. I’ve excluded the fragments that I suggest are
correct, do not require modifications and do not raise questions.
I have edited the text on two computers and the side notes marked OP... are mine
as well as MP.
In addition to the text changes, I put some side comments with explanations of
my changes and questions. Plus, I added a few small sections such as Service
Configuration Manageability, Contracts ( in the Management Contracts and
Policies) and new term 'Solution' in the glossary. I've put all manageability
items into the new diagram (embedded).
I am looking for your comments and an advice on how to proceed from this point:
will this work go under your supervision or independently, like Peter/Chris do.
Regards,
- Michael

Michael,
Are you interested in helping with the Management Model? I was planning on
reviewing what was originally written in the RAF, which is very sparse and
largely focused on system management vs. services as managed entities and then
look over what Dan H. put together. That material is missing visual models.
I feel this is far too important a concept, particularly its relationship to
governance, to simply “punt” and say we are not going to include it in our RAF
work. I see it as even more paramount than the Testing Model although I know
you and Ken are making headway there. If we can tackle both, great, but we
simply cannot punt on Management and only include Testing.
Just let me know your thoughts.
Regards…
- Jeff
