About System Mapping

The system mappings are displayed in the System tab. Mapping a system is describing how a function or a software component is allocated to a topology.

Note: In the context of system mapping design, racks are considered as topology. That is, commands available for system mappings on topologies are also available for system mappings on racks. As a consequence the creation of system mappings based on racks are nearly the same as for topologies. As a consequence this theme presents the creation of system mappings based on topologies but the behaviors are the same for racks.

A system mapping describes the mapping of a function subnetwork (that is a part of the global network, typically corresponding to the implementation of a customer feature). For more information, see Create System Mapping.

A system mapping links a function network to a given topology. Alternatively, a system mapping links a software component to a given topology. A system mapping contains "Mapper" objects of various categories:

  • Function or software component to EE component mapper: maps functions or software components to an EE component of the topology
  • Flow or data element to signal mapper: maps matrices on a bus of the topology
  • Matrix to bus mapper

For these objects, attributes can be defined, for example: the frequency of a function call.
