SV-10b Systems state transition description (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an SV-10b Systems State Transition Description:
• Right-click the
State Description (System) that is to own the SV-10b Systems State Transition Description, point to New, point to DoDAF, and then click SV-10b Systems State Transition Description.
Purpose
On an SV-10b Systems State Transition Description:
• Create the following UML State Diagram items: Entry State, Event Action Block, Exit State, Fork State, History State, Initial State, Join State and Junction State items.
• Create UML Transition relationships.
Diagram Elements
For information about showing compartments on diagram symbols, setting up default view options and adding existing elements to the diagram, see the following topics:
For information about the creation and appearance of elements that can be shown on all Product diagrams (Representation, Definition, Information, Metadata, Overlap and Same As elements), see
Creation and appearance of elements that appear on all product diagrams (UPDM - DoDAF aliases).
In addition to the standard UML items that can appear on a State Diagram (Entry State, Exit State, Fork State, History State, Initial State, Join State, Junction State and Transition items), the following UPDM elements can appear on an SV-10b Systems State Transition Description. For information about the preceding UML items, see the main Modeler Help.
Do Activity (System)
To create a
Do Activity (System): call: click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-function_38.gif)
Do Activity (System) button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (System), Concurrent State (System) or Sequential State (System):
• Click the calling State to create and call a new Activity (System).
• Right-click the calling State to call an existing Activity (System).
To remove a Do Activity (System) call: Open the Property Pages of the calling State, click the Items tab, from the Show Associated list select Do Activities, select the Do Activity (System) call that you want to remove, and then click
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/but-unlink_11.gif)
Unlink.
Atomic State (System)
To create an
Atomic State (System): click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-resource-atomic-state_8.gif)
Atomic State (System) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (System) on the diagram.
You can create Do Activity (System), Do Operation (System) and Do State Description (System) calls on an Atomic State (System).
Concurrent State (System)
To create a
Concurrent State (System): click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-resource-concurrent-state_9.gif)
Concurrent State (System) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (System) on the diagram.
To create a new compartment on a Concurrent State (System): click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/but-resource-concurrent-compartment_3.gif)
Resource Concurrent Compartment button, and then click the owning the Concurrent State (System).
You can create Do Activity (System), Do Operation (System) and Do State Description (System) calls on a Concurrent State (System).
Final State (System)
To create a
Final State (System): click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-resource-final-state_8.gif)
Final State (System) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (System) on the diagram.
Do Operation (System)
To create a
Do Operation (System) call: click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-resource-operation_17.gif)
Do Operation (System) button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (System), Concurrent State (System) or Sequential State (System):
• Click the calling State to create and call a new Operation (System).
• Right-click the calling State to call an existing Operation (System).
To remove a Do Operation (System) call: Open the Property Pages of the calling State, click the Items tab, from the Show Associated list select Do Activities, select the Do Operation (System) call that you want to remove, and then click
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/but-unlink_11.gif)
Unlink.
Sequential State (System)
To create a
Sequential State (System): click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-resource-sequential-state_12.gif)
Sequential State (System) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (System) on the diagram.
You can create Do Activity (System), Do Operation (System) and Do State Description (System) calls on a Sequential State (System).
Do State Description (System)
To create a
Do State Description (System) call: click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-resource-state-machine_18.gif)
Do State Description (System) button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (System), Concurrent State (System) or Sequential State (System):
• Click the calling State to create and call a new State Description (System).
• Right-click the calling State to call an existing State Description (System).
To remove a Do State Description (System) call: Open the Property Pages of the calling State, click the Items tab, from the Show Associated list select Do Activities, select the Do State Description (System) call that you want to remove, and then click
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/but-unlink_11.gif)
Unlink.
Submachine State (System)
• Click the
![](../../Integrity_Modeler/images/di-resource-submachine-state_8.gif)
Submachine State (System) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (System) on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the State Description (System) element that is the submachine of the Submachine State (System).
• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the State Description (System) element that you want to use as the submachine of the Submachine State (System), and then drag that State Description (System) to free space on the diagram.
The following sections provide information about how an SV-10b Systems State Transition Description is used in the model.
