Problem domain (UPDM - NAF aliases)

• From a Logical Architecture: right-click the Logical Architecture, point to New, point to NAF, and then click Problem Domain.

On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Node or Security Domain to use as a type.

• From an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition: click the

Problem Domain toolbar button, and then click the owning Logical Architecture.

On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Node or Security Domain to use as a type, or create an untyped Problem Domain, or create an untyped Problem Domain.

◦ Click the

Problem Domain toolbar button, and then click the Logical Architecture element that is to own the Problem Domain. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Node or Security Domain that is the type of the Problem Domain, or create an untyped Problem Domain.

If the owner of the NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Problem Domain on the diagram owner by clicking in free space.

◦ From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Node or Security Domain that you want to use as the type of the Problem Domain, and then drag that Node or Security Domain to the owning Logical Architecture element on the diagram. From the dialog, select Problem Domain, and then click OK.

If the owner of the NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Problem Domain on the diagram owner by dragging the type to free space.

◦ Click the

Problem Domain toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Node or Security Domain to use as a type for the Problem Domain you are creating, or create an untyped Problem Domain.

◦ From a Modeler pane, locate the Node or Security Domain that is to be the type of the Problem Domain you are creating, and then drag that element to the diagram. From the dialog that appears, select Problem Domain, and then click OK.

Problem Domain elements can be created only on NOV-6c Operational Event-Trace Description diagrams that are Logical Architecture owned.

When shown on an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition, a Problem Domain appears as follows:

When shown on an NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, a Problem Domain appears as follows:

When shown on an NOV-6c Operational Event-Trace Description, a Problem Domain appears as follows:

The following relationships are of importance to a Problem Domain:

• Needline relationships link a Problem Domain to Known Resource, Node Port, Node Role and Problem Domain elements.

The following sections provide information about how a Problem Domain is used in the model.

Only the UPDM elements that can be created from all UPDM elements ( Alias, Definition, Information and Metadata).

In addition to the NAV-2 Integrated Dictionary and NTV-1 Standards Profile, which can show all UPDM elements:

The following writeable properties are available on the Problem Domain tab of a Problem Domain element's Property Pages:
