Service Interfaces

The communication of an Adaptive platform is service oriented in nature, which means its functionalities mainly consist of Services being consumed and provided among its components. The element Service Interface is the means to model access to these functionalities, as the Services are made available through method, events, or fields. It also ensures compatibility between components by formalizing what kind of information these Services will be expected to exchange.

Service Deployment

Depending on where two communicating Software Components are located, different forms of communication bindings are more preferable. For instance, when the communication takes place between two Software Components on the same machine, IPC (Inter-Process Communication) would be appropriate, while SOME/IP would be more appropriate for communication spanning between two different machines.


Inter-Process Communication	SOME/IP Communication

The communication to be used can be defined by the element Service Interface Deployment, which is also used to set a unique ID with which the Service can be identified.

Service Instances

When a Service described by a Service Interface shall be deployed, an instantiation of it must be modeled. A Service Instance is represented by either required or provided Service Instance elements. Depending on which communication to use, different types of instances must be modeled, for example Provided SOME/IP Service Instance. Using mappings, the Service Instance can be allocated to the Machine and Process which will provide or consume the Service. The Service Instances are also given a unique ID with which is used for identification on the network.

Open Editor

To open the Service Editor, expand your DaVinci Adaptive project in the DaVinci Project Explorer and double click on I_DaVinciDeveloperAdaptive Open Project Dashboard. The Project Frame opens showing the Project Home. You can then open the Service Editor as follows:

Open the Editor menu on the top right of the Project Dashboard and click the Service Editor command.
Alternatively, use the context menu command Service Editor of the Open Project Dashboard node in the DaVinci Project Explorer.
Alternatively, on the Dashboard page of the Project Home, click Service Editor in the Comfort Editors area.
Alternatively, on the Dashboard page of the Project Home, click the arrow of the Current Focus drop-down list and select Machine Integration. In the Service Interface Deployments area, click the [Edit] button (this requires at least one created Service Interface Deployment).
Alternatively, use the context menu command Open in Service Editor of a Service Instance, Service Instance To Port Prototype or Machine Mapping, Service Interface, or Service Interface Deployment in the AUTOSAR Model Explorer.

The Service Editor opens in a new tab of the Project Frame.

Functionality

The Service Editor provides the functionalities listed below. If not otherwise mentioned, the functionalities available in the I_DetailsMode_FormMode Form mode are described.

If you want to manage the properties of an element textually, switch to the I_DMLEditor DML mode via the toolbar and refer to DaVinci Modeling Language Editor for more information.
