Building a Solution on HaydnCSF

Overview

This section describes how architects can quickly register and design solutions on HaydnCSF. Figure 1 shows the fast solution process. The fast solution process is recommended for referencing architectures and designing solutions.

Figure 1 Fast solution process

Prerequisites

You are a HaydnCSF user and have been assigned the architect role. For details about how to become a Haydn user, see Accessing HaydnCSF. For details about user roles, see HaydnCSF User Access Permissions.

Registering a Solution

1. Log in to HaydnCSF. In the upper right corner, select Solution design for Current workbench.
   Figure 2 Scenario selection
   
2. Click New Solution. On the displayed page, select Create workspace, specify the workspace name. Click Confirm.
   Figure 3 Creating a solution
   
3. Specify information required. For details, see Table 1.

4. Click Submit.

   The process enters the solution design phase. The system generates a solution design to-do task for the solution design owner. If the owner has subscribed the email notification on HaydnCSF, the owner will receive an email notification.

   • The solution can be edited in the solution registration and solution design phases. If you want to edit the solution after it is completed, you need to change the solution. See Figure 6.
   Figure 6 Change Solution
   

Designing Solution Architectures

1. Click the To-Dos tab. On the page displayed, locate the row that contains this Solution design and click Handle in the Operation column. See Figure 7.
   Figure 7 To-Dos - solution design
   
2. Create an integration architecture.

   In the left area of the page, click the plus sign (+) on the right of the solution name.

   Table 2 Parameters of creating an integration architecture

   Parameter	Description
   Architecture Name	Specify an architecture name.
   Architecture Template	No template The canvas is empty. You need to drag and pull diagram elements from the diagram element library on the left to design the architecture. Architecture template from solution acceleration field You can search for acceleration field architecture templates by template ID, solution name, applicable industry, and scenario and reference them for secondary editing. Existing architecture You can locate the integration architecture of workspaces you created or joined based on the workspace name, solution name, or integration architecture name. You can then copy the integration architecture to the current workspace for secondary editing.
   Architecture Description	This parameter describes the service flow and data flow of the entire architecture.

   Take Solution Acceleration Architecture Template as an example. To reference an architecture template from the Solution Acceleration Field, enter a keyword to search for the architecture template. Click Details to view the template details. Select an architecture template from the search results and click OK. See Figure 8. To reference a template on a new canvas, click the Recommended Architecture button in the lower right corner of the canvas to search for and reference the template.

3. Design the integration architecture.

   Design the architecture diagram using the diagram element panel on the left and the toolbar panel on the top. Click the save button in the upper right corner. By default, automatic saving is enabled, and your edits are saved every 5 minutes.

4. Create a manual deployment architecture.
   1. Switch to the Cloud Service Specification Configuration tab page and then click the plus sign.
      The deployment environment is related to the base to which the solution applies. A solution can have deployment architectures of different bases.

   2. Configure the cloud service specifications.

      In graphic mode, click Cloud Service Specification Configuration and double-click the diagram element to be configured.

   3. Preview the configuration list.

5. Submit the architecture for review.

   Click Submit for Review. In the dialog box that is displayed, specify the solution review owner and enter the remarks (optional), and click Submit. You can select more than one review owners.

   For fast solution process, the system reviews the solution architecture by default. You do not need to select a review owner.

6. Review the solution. (Skip this step in a fast solution process.)

   In a fast solution process, the system reviews the solution architecture by default. You can skip this step.
