Function (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Function:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to MODAF, point to System, and then click Function.
• From an Organization : right-click the Organization, point to New, point to MODAF, and then click Function
• From an StV-6 Operational Activity to Capability Mapping, SV-4 Functionality Hierarchy or SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, or: click the Function toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Appearance
When shown on an StV-6 Operational Activity to Capability Mapping, SV-4 Functionality Hierarchy or SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, a Function appears as follows:
When shown on an SV-4 Functionality Description, a Function appears as follows:
When shown on an SV-10b Resource State Transition Description, a Function appears as a Do Function call:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Function:
• Implements relationships link a Function to the Operational Activity Standard Operational Activity and Service Function elements it implements.
• Is Capable Of Performing relationships link a Function to elements that can perform the Function.
• Maps To Capability relationships link a Function to the Capability elements that are mapped to.
• A Function Action invokes a Function.
• A Resource Operation message represents a Function on an SV-10c Resource Event-Trace Description.
The following sections provide information about how a Function is used in the model.
