To create an NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy:
• Right-click the
Architectural Description or
Service Description that is to own the NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy, point to New, point to Diagram, point to NAF, and then click NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy.
• 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.
Diagram 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.
Architectural Reference
To create an
Architectural Reference: click the Architectural Reference toolbar button, click the source Architectural Description, and then click the destination Architectural Description.
Architecture Metadata
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.
Capability
To create a
Capability: click the Capability toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Maps To Capability relationships to link the Capability to the Operational Activity and Standard Operational Activity elements that map to that Capability.
Is Capable Of Performing
To create an
Is Capable Of Performing: click the Is Capable Of Performing toolbar button, click the Node or Security Domain, and then click the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity that can be performed.
Logical Architecture
To create a
Logical Architecture: click the Logical Architecture toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Note Links to link the Logical Architecture to Service Policy elements that apply to the Logical Architecture.
Maps To Capability
To create a
Maps To Capability: click the Maps To Capability toolbar button, click the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity, and then click the Capability that is mapped to.
Node
To create a
Node: click the Node toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Node to the Operational Activity and Standard Operational Activity elements that the Node can perform.
Operational Activity
To create an
Operational Activity: click the Operational Activity toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Operational Activity Action relationships to link the Operational Activity to the other Operational Activity and Standard Operational Activity elements that are invoked by the Operational Activity.
Operational Activity Action
To create an
Operational Activity Action: click the Operational Activity Action toolbar button, click the source Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity, and then click the destination Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity.
Operational Constraint
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, Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity on the diagram: click the Note Link toolbar button, click the Operational Constraint, and then click the Node, Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity to which the Operational Constraint applies.
Security Domain
To create a
Security Domain: click the Security Domain toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Security Domain to the Operational Activity and Standard Operational Activity elements that the Security Domain can perform.
Service Policy
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 or Node on the diagram: click the Note Link toolbar button, click the Service Policy, and then click the Logical Architecture or Node to which the Service Policy applies.
Standard Operational Activity
To create a
Standard Operational Activity: click the Standard Operational Activity toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Operational Activity Action relationships to link the Standard Operational Activity to the other Standard Operational Activity and Operational Activity elements that are invoked by the Standard Operational Activity.
The following sections provide information about how an NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy is used in the model.
