Return to Requirements

The Logical Architecture / PIM SHALL define one logical architecture and SHALL NOT imply that it represents every possible logical architecture that conforms to Part 1.

Part 2, Section 16.2: Distributed Node-Based Architecture Requirements.

Part 2 defines a single reusable Logical Architecture / PIM for the Financial Systems Archetype. Other logical architectures may also conform to the Part 1 Conceptual Architecture, but they are outside the scope of this document set. Stating this explicitly prevents readers from interpreting the architecture defined in Part 2 as the only permissible logical realization.

This requirement applies to the definition, review, interpretation, maintenance, and use of the Logical Architecture / PIM.

It applies specifically to:

• The scope of the Logical Architecture;
• Architectural interpretation;
• Domain Logical Profiles derived from Part 2; and
• Implementation Profiles based upon Part 2.

Verification SHALL confirm that Part 2 defines one Logical Architecture / PIM without claiming that it represents every possible logical architecture conforming to Part 1.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• only one Logical Architecture is defined within Part 2;
• alternative logical architectures are not excluded by implication;
• the document consistently refers to the architecture defined in Part 2; and
• no normative statements claim exclusivity beyond the scope of this document.

This requirement supports traceability between the Part 1 Conceptual Architecture and the Logical Architecture defined by Part 2.
