SOV-2 Service interface specification (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an SOV-2 Service Interface Specification:
Right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description that is to own the SOV-2 Service Interface Specification, point to New, point to Diagram, point to DoDAF, and then click SOV-2 Service Interface Specification.
Purpose
On an SOV-2 Service Interface Specification:
Create Service Interface and Asynchronous Message elements.
Create Service Role relationships.
Create UML Provided Interfaces and UML Required Interfaces for Service Interface elements.
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), see Notation of Elements that Appear on All Product Diagrams.
Architectural Description
To create an Architectural Description: click the Architectural Description toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
To populate elements from an Architectural Description: add the Architectural Description to the diagram, and then populate those elements from the Architectural Description.
Architectural Reference
To create an Architectural Reference: click the Architectural Reference toolbar button, click the source Architectural Description or Service Description, and then click the destination Architectural Description or Service Description.
Architecture Metadata
To create an Architecture Metadata: click the Architecture Metadata toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Define the text of the Architecture Metadata through its Full Text property.
To apply an Architecture Metadata to an Architectural Description or Service Description: click the Note Link toolbar button, click the Architecture Metadata, and then click the Architectural Description or Service Description to which the Architecture Metadata applies.
Asynchronous Message
To create an Asynchronous Message: click the Asynchronous Message toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Operation (Service)
To create an Operation (Service): click the Operation (Service) toolbar button, and then click the owning Service Interface.
To hide Operation (Service) elements: through the through the View Options of the owning Service Interface, do not show Operations.
Provided Interface (UML Item)
To create a Provided Interface: click the Provided Interface toolbar button, click the source Service Interface, and then double-click in free space on the diagram.
Required Interface (UML Item)
To create a Required Interface: click the Required Interface toolbar button, click the source Service Interface, and then double-click in free space on the diagram.
Service Attribute
To create a Service Attribute: click the Service Attribute toolbar button, and then click the owning Service Interface. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the type of the Service Attribute.
To hide Service Attribute elements: through the View Options of the owning Service Interface, do not show Attributes.
Service Description
To create a Service Description: click the Service Description toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
To populate elements from a particular Service Description: add the owning Service Description to the diagram, and then populate those elements for the Service Description.
Service Interface
To create a Service Interface: click the Service Interface toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Service Policy
To create a Service Policy: click the Service Policy toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
To apply a Service Policy to a Service Interface on the diagram: click the Note Link toolbar button, click the Service Policy, and then click the Service Interface to which the Service Policy applies.
Service Role
To create a Service Role:
Click the Service Role toolbar button, and then click the owning Service Interface. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface element that is the type of the Service Role.
Click the Composite Association toolbar button, click the owning Service Interface, and then click the Service Interface element that is the type of the Service Role.
The following sections provide information about how an SOV-2 Service Interface Specification is used in the model.
