QUESTION NO: 2
During the service modeling process it is noticed that a service capability candidate is assigned the responsibility of issuing notification messages via e-mail and logging event status information to a database. Each of the following statements describes the result of applying of a service-orientation principle. Given that the principles are applied during the service modeling process, which of these statements make sense?

A. The Service Statelessness principle is applied so that the service capability candidate is designed and developed to defer its state data to e-mail messages and a corresponding database table as part of the overall physical service architecture. B. The Service Reusability principle is applied and the service capability candidate is split into two service capability candidates. This increases the reusability of the service capability candidate because each provides a distinct and generic function that can be individually reused. C. The Service Discoverability principle is applied to more clearly define the purpose of the service capability candidate so that information is collected for future discoverability purposes. D. The Service Autonomy principle is applied to help determine whether the shared e-mail server and database may raise autonomy-related problems that may impact how the service capability candidate should be modeled.

Correct Answer: B,C,D

The Claims Solution project is responsible for delivering a service composition comprised of seven services. The project team is following a meet-in-the-middle approach whereby a service analyst and two service architects will continue carrying out a top-down analysis effort after the initial set of services is designed and developed. What will happen after the top-down analysis completes and the final service candidates are noticeably different from the services that have already been delivered?

A. None of the above. B. The previously delivered services remain in use until they can no longer fulfill their functional requirements, at which point they are retired and replaced with new services based on the final service candidates. C. The previously delivered services are not changed and the final service candidates serve as a constant reminder as to how they should have been designed. D. The previously delivered services are later redesigned and redeveloped as per the final service candidates in order to bring the services in the Claims Solution in alignment with the target service inventory blueprint.
