Activity (system) (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an Activity (System):
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to DoDAF, point to System, and then click Activity (System).
• From an Organization Type: right-click the Organization Type, point to New, point to DoDAF, and then click Activity (System)
• From a CV-6 Capability to Operational Activity Mapping, SV-4 Systems Functionality Hierarchy, or SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition: click the Activity (System) toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Appearance
When shown on a CV-6 Capability to Operational Activity Mapping, SV-4 Systems Functionality Hierarchy or SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, an Activity (System) appears as follows:
When shown on an SV-4 Systems Functionality Description, an Activity (System) appears as follows:
When shown on an SV-10b Systems State Transition Description, an Activity (System) appears as a Do Activity (System) call:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to an Activity (System):
• Implements relationships link an Activity (System) to the Activity (Operational), Standard Activity (Operational), and Activity (Service) elements it implements.
• Activity Performed by Performer relationships link an Activity (System) to elements that can perform the Activity (System).
• Activity Maps To Capability relationships link an Activity (System) to the Capability elements that are mapped to.
• An Activity Action (System) invokes an Activity (System).
• An Operation (System) message represents an Activity (System) on an SV-10c Systems Event-Trace Description.
The following sections provide information about how an Activity (System) is used in the model.
Create an Activity (System) from
• Activity (System)
• Architectural Description
• CV-6 Capability to Operational Activity Mapping
• Organization Type
• Service Description
• SV-4 Systems Functionality Hierarchy
• SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition
Create from an Activity (System)
In addition to the UPDM elements that can be created from all UPDM elements ( Representation, Definition, Information, and Metadata):
• Activity Action (System)
• Activity Partition (System)
• Activity Structured Node (System)
• Activity (System)
• Desired Effect
• Parameter (System)
• Rule (System)
• SV-4 Systems Functionality Description
Shown on these diagrams, tables and matrices
In addition to the AV-2 Integrated Dictionary and StdV-1 Standards Profile, which can show all UPDM elements:
• AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix
• CV-6 Capability to Operational Activity Mapping
• SV-4 Systems Functionality Description
• SV-4 Systems Functionality Hierarchy
• SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition
• SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Traceability Matrix
• SV-6 Systems Resource Flow Matrix
• SV-10a Systems Rules Model - shows applied Rule (System) elements
• SV-10b Systems State Transition Description
• SV-10c Systems Event-Trace Description - represented by an Operation (System)
