Logical architecture (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Logical Architecture:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to NAF, point to Operational, and then click Logical Architecture.
• From a Logical Architecture: right-click the Logical Architecture, point to New, point to UPDM and then click Logical Architecture.
• From an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition or NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy: click the Logical Architecture toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Appearance
When shown on an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition or NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy, a Logical Architecture appears as follows:
On an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition or NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy you can use Note Links to link a Logical Architecture to the Service Policy elements that apply to that Logical Architecture.
When shown on a Logical Architecture owned NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, a Logical Architecture appears as follows:
To show the owning Logical Architecture on an NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description diagram: right-click the background of the diagram, point to Populate, and then click Owner.
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Logical Architecture:
• UML Generalizations define Logical Architecture inheritance ( NOV-2 Operational Node Definition).
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Logical Architecture is used in the model.
