Figure CI.07 - MTOSI TMD Profile Mechanism - ConfigurationSpecification Applied Using Resource Entity

<font color="#29313b">In the instance of ResourceConfiguration, C is now assigned the value of 2. Also, the instance is now assigned two new attributes (D and E) and associated values.  Attribute B (not shown) remains as a simple characteristic related to the instance of Resource as shown in Figure CI.03 - MTOSI TMD Profile Mechanism - Configuration with No Specification Using Resource. But other characteristics (A, C, D, E) are removed and replaced by the ResourceConfigSpec shown in Figure CI.05 - MTOSI TMD Profile Mechanism - ConfigurationSpecificationification Using Resource Entity. A specific operation, such as auto apply / apply all, could be defined to do this.</font><br/><font color="#29313b">New attributes in the configuration entities, such as ResourceConfiguration cannot be created. This would require an “add column” command made to the database, which can have a major impact to the associated application(s) that use this entity. Figure CI.07 - MTOSI TMD Profile Mechanism - ConfigurationSpecificationification Applied Using Resource Entity shows an example of using a combination of characteristic instances and a Resource instance applied to create an instance of ResourceConfiguration.</font><br/>
