Candidate Software Instance
A Candidate Software Instance node represents an unidentified item of software running in the environment that is a candidate for modelling as a Software Instance.
Candidate Software Instance node lifecycle
The following section describes the scenarios in which a Candidate Software Instance node is created, updated, or removed.
Creation and update
Candidate Software Instance nodes are created to represent an unidentified process is involved in observed communication. They are created and updated in the same way as Software Instance nodes.
Removal
Candidate Software Instance nodes are removed when the corresponding unidentified process disappears. They are also removed when the process that would have confirmed them has become a part of an SI either because an SI pattern is created to match the unidentified item of software or as a result of user action in Start Anywhere Application Modeling.
