Service levels represent a level of service available to an end
user.
Suppose that a company decides that they will offer three levels of service
within an application. They may name these service levels in a way to distinguish
between the varying levels of service such as gold, silver, and bronze. They
want the gold users to experience faster, value-added, or more available service
than other users.
Service level has a priority property that can be used as follows:
- Gold
This category has a priority level as 3
- Silver
This category has a priority level as 2
- Bronze
This category has a priority level as 1
Service level is used as a context for policies. Service levels can now
be selected as a policy target or context. You can write a policy that applies
to gold users of a specific interface. There are two situations
in which it could be optional in a dynamic assembly simulation:
- The context specification the simulation is created against is only specified
at runtime. The service level has been added as a Model Dimension, but not
marked as required.
- The context specification the simulation is created against is not specified
at runtime. In which case, you can just add a service level as a model dimension
directly in the Simulation Input editor.
