4 Modeling ASAP Services

You model ASAP services to develop Activation Network or Activation Service cartridge projects and to provision services. The Cartridge Generation tool enables you to automatically generate a framework model.

The steps you take to model services for an Activation cartridge depend on the type of cartridge (Activation Network or Activation Service) and, when modeling Activation Service cartridges, the type of model (mixed or common).

After you model a service, you can complete the parameter descriptions for entities by opening each editor and providing data (for example, open the Project editor to configure the cartridge and its entities). Also, you can complete any documentation information that needs to be included in the cartridge auto-generated documentation.
