Operational constraint (UPDM - MODAF aliases)

Creation

To create an Operational Constraint:

• From an Architectural Description, Logical Data Model, or Service Description: right-click the element, point to New, point to MODAF, point to Operational, and then click Operational Constraint

• From an Entity Item, Exchange Element, Mission, Mission Use Case, Node, Operational Activity, Security Domain or Standard Operational Activity: right-click the element, point to New, point to MODAF, and then click Operational Constraint.

• From an OV-1d Mission Definition, OV-2 Operational Node Definition, OV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, OV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy or OV-7 Information Model: click the

Operational Constraint toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

After creating an Operational Constraint, use the Full Text property to specify the text of that Operational Constraint.

Applying to elements

When you create an Operational Constraint it is applied to the owning element, unless the owning element is an Architectural Description, Logical Data Model or Service Description. You can apply an Operational Constraint to many elements.

To apply an Operational Constraint to an element:

• From an appropriate diagram: click the

Note Link toolbar button, click the Operational Constraint, and then click the element to which the Operational Constraint applies.

• From an appropriate Modeler pane:

◦ Right-click the Operational Constraint, point to Links, and then click Operationally Constrained Element. On the Links Editor, select the elements to which the Operational Constraint applies.

◦ Right-click the Entity Item, Exchange Element, Mission, Mission Use Case, Node, Operational Activity and Security Domain or Standard Operational Activity, point to Links, point to Applied, and then click Operational Constraint. On the Links Editor, select the Operational Constraint elements that apply to the element.

Appearance

When shown on an OV-1d Mission Definition, OV-2 Operational Node Definition, OV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, OV-5 Operational Activity Model, OV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy or OV-7 Information Model, an Operational Constraint appears as follows:
