SOV-4b Service state model (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an SOV-4b Service State Model:
• Right-click the State Description (Service) that is to own the SOV-4b Service State Model, point to New, point to DoDAF, and then click SOV-4b Service State Model.
Purpose
On an SOV-4b Service State Model:
• Create Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) and Sequential State (Service) elements.
• Create Do Activity (Service), Do Operation (Service) and Do State Description (Service) calls on the preceding elements.
• 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 Notation of Elements that Appear on All Product diagrams.
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 SOV-4b Service State Model. For information about the preceding UML items, see the main Modeler Help.
To create a Do Activity (Service) call: click the 
Do Activity (Service) button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) or Sequential State (Service):
Do Activity (Service) button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) or Sequential State (Service):• Click the calling State to create and call a new Activity (Service).
• Right-click the calling State to call an existing Activity (Service).
To remove a Do Activity (Service) 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 (Service) call that you want to remove, and then click 
Unlink.

Service Concurrent Compartment button, and then click the Concurrent State (Service).
Service Concurrent Compartment button, and then click the Concurrent State (Service).You can create Do Activity (Service), Do Operation (Service) and Do State Description (Service) calls on a Concurrent State (Service).
To create a Final State (Service): click the 
Final State (Service) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram.
Final State (Service) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram.
To create a Do Operation (Service) call: click the 
Do Operation (Service) button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) or Sequential State (Service):
Do Operation (Service) button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) or Sequential State (Service):• Click the calling State to create and call a new Operation (Service).
• Right-click the calling State to call an existing Operation (Service).
To remove a Do Operation (Service) 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 (Service) call that you want to remove, and then click Unlink.

To create a Sequential State (Service): click the 
Sequential State (Service) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram.
Sequential State (Service) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram.You can create Do Activity (Service), Do Operation (Service) and Do State Description (Service) calls on a Sequential State (Service).
To create a Do State Description (Service): call: click the 
Do State Description (Service): button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) or Sequential State (Service):
Do State Description (Service): button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) or Sequential State (Service):• Click the calling State to create and call a new State Description (Service):.
• Right-click the calling State to call an existing State Description (Service):.
To remove a Do State Description (Service): 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 (Service): call that you want to remove, and then click Unlink.

To create a Submachine State (Service):
• Click the 
Submachine State (Service) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the State Description (Service) element that is the submachine of the Submachine State (Service).
Submachine State (Service) button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the State Description (Service) element that is the submachine of the Submachine State (Service).• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the State Description (Service) element that you want to use as the submachine of the Submachine State (Service), and then drag that State Description (Service) to free space on the diagram.
