NSV-4 Functionality hierarchy (UPDM

• Right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description that is to own the NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy, point to New, point to Diagram, point to NAF, and then click NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy.

On an NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy:

• Create Resource Constraint and Service Policy elements and apply them to valid elements on the diagram.

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.

To create an Architectural Reference: click the

Architectural Reference toolbar button, click the source Architectural Description, and then click the destination Architectural Description.

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.

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 Function elements that map to that Capability.

To create a Capability Configuration: click the

Capability Configuration toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Capability Configuration to the Function elements that the Capability Configuration can perform.

To create a Function: click the

Function toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Function to elements that can perform that Function. The following elements can perform a Function: Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Responsibility, Service Access and Software elements.

To create a Function Action: click the

Function Action toolbar button, click the calling Function, and then click the invoked Function.

To create an Is Capable Of Performing: click the

Is Capable Of Performing toolbar button, click the source element, and then click the Function that can be performed.

The source element can be a Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Responsibility, Service Access or Software element.

To create a Maps To Capability: click the

Maps To Capability toolbar button, click the Function, and then click the Capability that is mapped to.

To create an Organization: click the

Organization toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Organization to the Function elements that the Organization can perform.

To create a Physical Architecture: click the

Physical Architecture toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Physical Architecture to the Function elements that the Physical Architecture can perform.

To create a Post: click the

Post toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Post to the Function elements that the Post can perform.

To create a Resource Artifact: click the

Resource Artifact toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Resource Artifact to the Function elements that the Resource Artifact can perform.

To create a Resource Constraint: click the

Resource Constraint toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram. Use the Full Text property to specify the text of the Resource Constraint.

To apply a Resource Constraint to an element on the diagram: click the

Note Link toolbar button, click the Resource Constraint, and then click the element to which the Resource Constraint applies.

You can apply a Resource Constraint to Capability Configuration, Function, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Responsibility, Service Access and Software elements.

To create a Responsibility: click the

Responsibility toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Responsibility to the Function elements that the Responsibility can perform.

To create a Service Access: click the

Service Access toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Service Access to the Function elements that the Service Access can perform.

To create a Service Policy: click the

Service Policy toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram. Use the Full Text property to specify the text of the Service Policy.

To apply a Service Policy to an element on the diagram: click the

Note Link toolbar button, click the Service Policy, and then click the element to which the Service Policy applies.

You can apply a Service Policy to Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Responsibility, Service Access and Software elements.

To create a Software: click the

Software toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Software to the Function elements that the Software can perform.

The following sections provide information about how an NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy is used in the model.
