46
47Component
48---------
49Refers to a DCAE service component which is a single micro-service that
50is written to be run by the DCAE platform and to be composeable to form
51a DCAE service. That composition occurs in the SDC.
52
53
54Config Binding Service
55----------------------
56DCAE Platform Component - Service Components use Config Binding Service
57to access Consul and retrieve configuration variables.
58
59
60Component Specification
61-----------------------
62JSON formatted file that fully describes a component and its interfaces
63
64
65Data Format / Data Format Specification
66---------------------------------------
67JSON formatted file that fully describes a components input or output

75
76Design-Time
77-----------
VENKATESH KUMAR64559742020-04-29 18:53:53 -0400[diff] [blame]78Refers to when the System Designer uses a design tool to compose services
79from components in the catalog. The Designer can provide input to
PANCHAL0424f6f2020-03-27 19:28:03 -0400[diff] [blame]80assign/override defaults for configuration for any parameter with the
81property 'designer\_editable' set to 'true'.
82
83
84Deploy-Time
85-----------
86Refers to when a service is being deployed. This can be done
87automatically via the SDC Tool, or manually via the DCAE Dashboard or
88CLAMP UI. When manually deployed, DevOps can provide input to
89assign/override defaults for configuration for any parameter with the
90property 'sourced\_at\_deployment' set to 'true'.
91

126values to configuraton specified for this.
127
128
129Run-Time
130--------
131Refers to the when a service is running on the platform. Often used in
132conjunction with DTI events which occur at Run-time.
