SV-2 Systems resource flow description (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description:
• Right-click the Performer (System), Organization Type, Person Role Type, System Context, Responsibility, System, Service Access or Software that is to own the SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description, point to New, point to DoDAF, and then click SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description.
If you want the owning element to appear on the diagram: right-click the background of the diagram, point to Populate, and then click Owner.
Purpose
On an SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description:
• Create System Connector and Service Channel relationships.
• Create Command, Control and Resource Exchange 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:
For information about the creation and appearance of elements that can be shown on all Product diagrams (Representation, Definition, Information, Metadata, Overlap and Same As elements), see Creation and appearance of elements that appear on all product diagrams (UPDM - DoDAF aliases).
Performer (System)
When you create an SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description from a Performer (System), Modeler does not add the owning Performer (System) to the diagram.
To show the owning Performer (System) on the diagram: right-click the background of the diagram, point to Populate, and then click Owner.
Command
To create a Command:
• Click the Command button, and then click the System Connector or Service Channel that realizes the Command:
For a System Connector: the Resource Role elements that own the source and destination System Port elements must use an Organization Type, Person Role Type or Responsibility as their type.
For a Service Channel: the Resource Role elements that own the source and destination Service Port (Requires) and Service Port (Provides) elements must use an Organization Type, Person Role Type or Responsibility as their type.
On the Select Conveyed Classifier dialog, create or select the Exchange Element that is the Command element's conveyed classifier. On the context menu, click the command for the destination element.
To define that a Command is realized by a System Connector or Service Channel:
• Drag the Command from a Modeler pane to the System Connector or Service Channel on the diagram.
• Drag the Command element's conveyed classifier from a Modeler pane to the System Connector or Service Channel on the diagram. On the Select Command dialog, select the Command.
• Right-click the System Connector or Service Channel, point to Links, point to Realized, and then click Command. From the dialog, select the Command elements that are realized by the System Connector or Service Channel.
Control
To create a Control:
• Click the Control button, and then click the System Connector or Service Channel that realizes the Control:
For a System Connector: The Resource Role that owns the source System Port must use an Organization Type, Person Role Type or Responsibility as its type. The Resource Role that owns the target System Port must use a System as its type.
For a Service Channel: The Resource Role that owns the source Service Port (Requires) or Service Port (Provides) must use an Organization Type, Person Role Type or Responsibility as its type. The Resource Role that owns the target Service Port (Requires) or Service Port (Provides) must use a System as its type.
On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Exchange Element that is the Control element's conveyed classifier. On the context menu, irrespective of which command you click, the destination of the Control will be set to the Resource Role that uses a System as its type.
To define that a Control is realized by a System Connector or Service Channel:
• Drag the Control from a Modeler pane to the System Connector or Service Channel on the diagram.
• Drag the Control element's conveyed classifier from a Modeler pane to the System Connector or Service Channel on the diagram. On the Select Control dialog, select the Control.
• Right-click the System Connector or Service Channel that is to be realized, point to Links, point to Realized, and then click Control. From the dialog, select the Control elements that are realized by the System Connector or Service Channel.
Organization Type
When you create an SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description from an Organization Type, Modeler does not add the owning Organization Type to the diagram.
To show the owning Organization Type on the diagram: right-click the background of the diagram, point to Populate, and then click Owner.
Person Role Type
When you create an SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description from a Person Role Type, Modeler does not add the owning Person Role Type to the diagram.

To define that a Resource Exchange is realized by a System Connector or Service Interface:
• Drag the Resource Exchange from a Modeler pane to the System Connector or Service Interface on the diagram.
• Drag the Resource Exchange element's conveyed classifier from a Modeler pane to the System Connector or Service Interface on the diagram. On the Select Resource Exchange dialog, select the Resource Exchange.

Resource Role
To create a Resource Role:
• Click the Resource Role button, and then click the diagram owner or Resource Role element that is to own the Resource Role. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the type of the Resource Role.
If the owner of the SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Resource Role by clicking in free space.
• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the element that you want to use as the type of the Resource Role, and then drag that element to the diagram owner or Resource Role element on the diagram.
The type of a Resource Role can be a Performer (System), Organization Type, System Context, Person Role Type, System, Responsibility, Service Access or Software element.
If the owner of the SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description is not shown on the diagram, create a Resource Role on the diagram owner by dragging the type to free space.
