OV-2 Operational node definition (UPDM

OV-2 Operational node definition (UPDM - MODAF aliases)

• Right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description that is to own the OV-2 Operational Node Definition, point to New, point to Diagram, point to MODAF, and then click OV-2 Operational Node Definition.

• Create Energy, Logical Architecture, Node and Security Domain elements and create Generalizations to define inheritance between them.

• Create Operational Constraint elements and apply them to Node and Security Domain elements.

• Create Service Policy elements and apply them to Logical Architecture, Node and Security Domain 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:

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.

To create an Architectural Reference: click the

Architectural Reference toolbar button, click the source Architectural Description, and then click the destination Architectural Description.

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: click the

Note Link toolbar button, click the Architecture Metadata, and then click the Architectural Description to which the Architecture Metadata applies.

To create a Capability: click the

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

Use Exhibits relationships to link the Capability to Node, Logical Architecture and Security Domain elements that exhibit that Capability.

To create a Capability Property: click the

Composite Association toolbar button, click the owning Capability, and then click the Capability that is the type of the Capability Property.

Note that only UML Role based Capability Property elements can be shown as Composite Associations. Tell me more...

To create an Energy: click the

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

Use Generalization relationships to define Energy inheritance.

To create an Exhibits: click the

Exhibits toolbar button, click the source Node, Logical Architecture or Security Domain, and then click the exhibited Capability.

To create a Generalization: click the

Generalization toolbar button, click the sub element, and then click the super element. The types of the super and sub elements must be the same.

You can define inheritance for Energy, Node, Logical Architecture and Security Domain elements.

To create a Known Resource: click the

Known Resource toolbar button, and then click the owning Node, Logical Architecture or Security Domain. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the resource element.

To hide Known Resource elements: through the View Options of the owning symbol, do not show Attributes.

To create a Logical Architecture: click the

Logical Architecture toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Generalization relationships to define Logical Architecture inheritance.

To create a Node: click the

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

Use Trustline relationships to link a Node to trusting and trusted Node or Security Domain elements.

Use Generalization relationships to define Node inheritance.

To create a Node Operation: click the

Node Operation toolbar button, and then click the owning Node or Security Domain.

To hide Node Operation elements: through the View Options of the owning symbol, do not show Operations.

To create a Node Port: click the

Node Port toolbar button, and then click the owning Node or Security Domain. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the type.

To hide Node Port elements: through the View Options of the owning symbol, do not show Attributes.

To create a Node Role: click the

Node Role toolbar button, and then click the owning Node, Logical Architecture or Security Domain. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Node or Security Domain to use as a type.

To hide Node Role elements: through the View Options of the owning symbol, do not show Attributes.

To create an Operational Constraint: click the

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

To apply an Operational Constraint to a Node or Security Domain on the diagram: click the

Note Link toolbar button, click the Operational Constraint, and then click the Node or Security Domain to which the Operational Constraint applies.

To create an Operational Exchange link: click the

Operational Exchange Link toolbar button, click the source Node or Security Domain, and then click destination Node or Security Domain.

On the Select Conveyed Classifier dialog, create or select the element that is the Operational Exchange element's conveyed classifier.

To create a Problem Domain: click the

Problem Domain toolbar button, and then click the owning Logical Architecture. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Node or Security Domain to use as a type.

To hide Problem Domain elements: through the View Options of the Logical Architecture, do not show Attributes.

To create a Request: click the

Request toolbar button, and then click the owning Node, Logical Architecture or Security Domain. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface to use as a type.

To hide Request elements: through the View Options of the owning symbol, do not show Attributes.

To create a Security Domain: click the

Security Domain toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Trustline relationships to link a Security Domain to trusting and trusted Node or Security Domain elements.

Use Generalization relationships to define Security Domain inheritance.

To create a Service: click the

Service toolbar button, and then click the owning Node, Logical Architecture or Security Domain. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface to use as a type.

To hide Service elements: through the View Options of the owning symbol, do not show Attributes.

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 Logical Architecture, Node or Security Domain on the diagram: click the

Note Link toolbar button, click the Service Policy, and then click the Logical Architecture, Node or Security Domain to which the Service Policy applies.

To create a Trustline: click the

Trustline toolbar button, click the trusting Node or Security Domain, and then click the trusted Node or Security Domain.
