FX Logical Change Control

Return to Terms and Definitions

Discussion

FX Logical Change Control governs changes to FX logical definitions, relationships, responsibilities, constraints, lifecycle states, and interaction patterns.

FX Logical Change Control supports review before a change affects inherited Part 2 logical elements, FX-specific specialisations, implementation profiles, deployment profiles, testability plans, or Evidence expectations. It identifies the changed element, the reason for the change, the affected FX logical relationships, the compatibility impact, the Traceability impact, the governance impact, and the Evidence impact.

FX Logical Change Control helps prevent local changes from silently altering inherited meaning. A change to an FX logical information structure, Communication Endpoint, lifecycle state, Node Role, Runtime Plane classification, policy constraint, or interaction pattern affects producers, consumers, governance relationships, Traceability, and Evidence expectations.

Definition

Governance of changes to FX logical definitions, relationships, responsibilities, constraints, lifecycle states, and interaction patterns.

Source

Specialization of Logical Change Control from Part 2, Section 11.5, and Governance and Authority from Part 1, Section 9.6; generalised from FX governance and change-control concerns in the original FX Demo Reference Architecture.

Note

FX Logical Change Control protects the FX logical meaning before implementation or deployment details change.

Example

A change to the FX Validation Result definition triggers review of affected validation logic, semantic interpretation, contract state processing, audit records, provenance records, replay expectations, and Evidence expectations.
