AV-3 Actual measurement definition (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition:
Right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description that is to own the AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition, point to New, point to Diagram, point to DoDAF, and then click AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition.
Purpose
On an AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition:
Create Measure or Service Level Value Set elements.
Create UML Slots for Measure or Service Level Value Set elements through Link 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:
Setting up default view options and compartments for a product diagram (UPDM)
Setting up default view options and compartments for new product diagrams (UPDM)
Working with compartments on symbols and linked callout notes (UPDM)
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), click here.
Link (UML item)
To create a Link: click the Link toolbar button, click the source Measure or Service Level Value Set, and then click destination Measure or Service Level Value Set.
When you create a Link, Modeler creates a slot on the source Measure or Service Level Value Set.
You can create a link between Measure or Service Level Value Set elements only when their classifiers are related through an appropriate relationship. For example, if the classifiers of two Measure elements are Capability elements, you can create a link only when the source Capability classifier has a Capability Property that uses the destination Capability classifier as its type.
Measure
To create a Measure:
Click the Measure toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the classifier of the Measure.
From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the element that you want to use as the classifier of the Measure, and then drag that element to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Measure, and then click OK.
The classifier of a Measure can be a Capability, Performer (System), Climate, Skill, Condition, Energy, Environment, Exchange Element, Geo Political Extent Type, Light Condition, Operational Context, Materiel, Measure Type, Performer (Operational), Organization Type, System Context, Person Role Type, System, Responsibility, Security Attributes Group, Security Domain, Service Access, Service Interface or Software element.
Service Level Value Set
To create a Service Level Value Set:
Click the Service Level Value Set toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the classifier of the Service Level Value Set.
From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the element that you want to use as the classifier of the Service Level Value Set, and then drag that element to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Service Level Value Set, and then click OK.
The classifier of a Service Level Value Set can be a Capability, Performer (System), Climate, Skill, Condition, Energy, Environment, Exchange Element, Geo Political Extent Type, Light Condition, Operational Context, Materiel, Measure Type, Performer (Operational), Organization Type, System Context, Person Role Type, System, Responsibility, Security Attributes Group, Security Domain, Service Access, Service Interface or Software element.
