Logical architecture (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Logical Architecture:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to MODAF, point to Operational, and then click Logical Architecture.
• From a Logical Architecture: right-click the Logical Architecture, point to New, point to UPDM and then click Logical Architecture.
• From an OV-2 Operational Node Definition or OV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy: click the Logical Architecture button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Logical Architecture button, and then click in free space on the diagram.Appearance
When shown on an OV-2 Operational Node Definition or OV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy, a Logical Architecture appears as follows:
On an OV-2 Operational Node Definition or OV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy you can use Note Links to link a Logical Architecture to the Service Policy elements that apply to that Logical Architecture.
When shown on a Logical Architecture owned OV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, a Logical Architecture appears as follows:
To show the owning Logical Architecture on an OV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description diagram: right-click the background of the diagram, point to Populate, and then click Owner.
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Logical Architecture:
• UML Generalizations define Logical Architecture inheritance (OV-2 Operational Node Definition).
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Logical Architecture is used in the model.
