Function (UPDM - NAF 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 NAF, point to System, and then click Function.
From an Organization: right-click the Organization, point to New, point to NAF, and then click Function
From an NCV-6 Operational Activity to Capability Mapping, NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy or NSV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition: click the Function toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Appearance
When shown on an NCV-6 Operational Activity to Capability Mapping, NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy or NSV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, a Function appears as follows:
When shown on an NSV-4 Functionality Description, a Function appears as follows:
When shown on an NSV-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 NSV-10c Resource Event-Trace Description
The following sections provide information about how a Function is used in the model.
