Logical architecture (UPDM - NAF 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 NAF, 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 NOV-2 Operational Node Definition or NOV-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 NOV-2 Operational Node Definition or NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy, a Logical Architecture appears as follows:
On an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition or NOV-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 NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, a Logical Architecture appears as follows:
To show the owning Logical Architecture on an NOV-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 (NOV-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.
