Modeling the PLANFRAGMENT and PRODUCT Repositories in TIBCO Product and Service Catalog

In the new version of TIBCO Product and Service Catalog, you can model a plan fragment and link it to a product without creating milestones. Perform the following steps to model the products/plan fragments:

Procedure

  1. Create the PlanFragment records.
  2. Enter the values for the fields Typical Duration and Maximum Duration in the SLA tab during Plan Fragment creation. This allows you to create a Plan Fragment without the necessity of creating associated milestones.
    Note: Although you can skip the step of creation of milestones using the fields Typical Duration and Maximum Duration in the SLA tab, but during publishing the products the START and END milestones are automatically added.
  3. Enter the units for maximum duration and typical duration inthe fields for Maximum Duration UoM and Typical Duration UoM.
  4. Create the Product record and associate the plan fragments.
  5. You can also associate the newly created plan fragments to the existing products by using the relationships. However, you must remove the Plan Fragment attributes specified in INTERNAL and AFFINITY tabs.
