Service (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Service:
From a Capability Configuration, Logical Architecture, Node, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Security Domain, Service Access or Software: right-click the element, point to New, point to NAF, and then click Service.
On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface to use as a type, or create an untyped Service.
From an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition: click the Service toolbar button, and then click the owning Node, Logical Architecture or Security Domain element. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface to use as a type, or create an untyped Service.
From an NSV-1 Resource Specification: click the Service toolbar button, and then click the owning Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Service Access or Software.
On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface to use as a type, or create an untyped Service.
From an NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description:
Click the Service toolbar button, and then click the Logical Architecture, Known Resource, Node, Node Role, Problem Domain or Security Domain element that is to own the Service. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface that is the type of the Service.
If the owner of the NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Service on the diagram owner by clicking in free space.
From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Service Interface that you want to use as the type of the Service, and then drag that Service Interface to the owning Logical Architecture, Known Resource, Node, Node Role, Problem Domain or Security Domain element on the diagram. From the dialog, select Service, and then click OK.
If the owner of the NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Service on the diagram owner by dragging the Service Interface to free space.
From an NSV-1 Resource Interaction Specification or NSV-2 System Communications Description:
Click the Service toolbar button, and then click the diagram owner or Resource Role element that is to own the Service. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface that is the type of the Service, or create an untyped Service.
If the owner of the NSV-1 Resource Interaction Specification or NSV-2 System Communications Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Service on the diagram owner by clicking in free space.
From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Service Interface that you want to use as the type of the Service, and then drag that Service Interface to the edge of the diagram owner or Resource Role element on the diagram. From the dialog, select Service, and then click OK.
If the owner of the NSV-1 Resource Interaction Specification or NSV-2 System Communications Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Service on the diagram owner by dragging the Service Interface to free space.
The diagram owner can be a Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Service Access or Software element.
Appearance
When shown on an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition or NSV-1 Resource Specification, a Service appears similar to as follows:
When shown on an NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, NSV-1 Resource Interaction Specification or NSV-2 System Communications Description, a Service appears similar to as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Service:
Service Channel relationships link a Service to other Service and Request elements.
