AV-5 Capable performer matrix (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix:
• Right-click the
Architectural Description or
Service Description that is to own the AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix, point to New, point to Matrix/Table, point to DoDAF, and then click AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix.
When you open a AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix, Modeler can generate it as HTML for viewing in your Internet browser, or generate it as a spreadsheet for viewing in Microsoft Excel. To specify how matrices and tables are opened for a model: in the Packages pane, right-click the Model, point to > , click Matrix/Table Generation Format, and then select HyperTextMarkupLanguage_HTML or Excel_XLS.
Each time you open a AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix, Modeler generates the product using the latest data from the model.
Purpose
On an AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix:
• View which elements perform other elements and which elements are performed by other elements, that is, elements that are linked through
Activity Performed by Performer relationships.
The following elements can perform other elements:
Performer (System),
Performer (Operational),
Organization Type,
System Context,
Person Role Type,
System,
Responsibility,
Security Domain,
Service Access,
Service Interface or
Software elements.
The following elements can be performed by other elements:
Activity (System),
Activity (Operational),
Activity (Service) or
Standard Activity (Operational) elements.
Elements Shown
The AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix shows the following elements:
• A row is created for each element that is performed by another element and is found in the analyzed Packages.
In addition, a row is created for each element that performs an element that is found in the analyzed Packages.
Rows can be created for the following elements:
Activity (System),
Activity (Operational),
Activity (Service) and
Standard Activity (Operational) elements.
• A column is created for each element that performs another element and is found in the analyzed Packages.
In addition, a column is created for each element that is performed by an element that is found in the analyzed Packages.
Columns can be created for the following elements:
Performer (System),
Performer (Operational),
Organization Type,
System Context,
Person Role Type,
System,
Responsibility,
Security Domain,
Service Access,
Service Interface and
Software elements.
• An X in a cell shows that the row element is performed by the column element, that is, they are linked through an
Activity Performed by Performer relationship.
Analyzed Packages
By default, the AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix searches for elements that are the source or destination of an Activity Performed by Performer relationship contained within the Architectural Description or Service Description that owns the AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix.
To search for elements from other Architectural Description and Service Description packages: right-click the AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix, point to Links, and then click Analyzed Packages. From the Links Editor, select the Architectural Description and Service Description packages from which you want to search for elements.
Customizing the Matrix
You can customize the presentation of an AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix, for example, by changing the row and column labels that are used.
An AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix is an editable matrix. For more information on editable matrices, see
Editing Matrices.
Example
In this example, Architectural Description1 owns AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix1 and the following elements: Organization Type1, Organization Type2, Activity (System)1 and Activity (System)2.
Organization Type1 performs Activity (System)1 through an Activity Performed by Performer relationship. To create this relationship: right-click the Organization Type, point to Links, point to All, and then click Performs.
When generated, AV-5 Capable Performer Matrix1 appears as follows.
From the generated matrix you can see the following:
• A row has been created for Activity (System)1 because it is performed by another element and is found in the analyzed Packages.
• A column has been created for Organization Type1 because it performs another element and is found in the analyzed Packages.
• The X shows that Activity (System)1 is performed by Organization Type1.
