SOV-4a Service constraints (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create an SOV-4a Service Constraints:
• Right-click the
Architectural Description or
Service Description that is to own the SOV-4a Service Constraints, point to New, point to Matrix/Table, point to MODAF, and then click SOV-4a Service Constraints.
When you open an SOV-4a Service Constraints, 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 an SOV-4a Service Constraints, Modeler generates the product using the latest data from the model.
Purpose
On an SOV-4a Service Constraints:
• View which
Service Policy elements are applied to the
Service Interface elements that are shown in the table.
Elements Shown
The table shows
Service Interface elements.
For each Service Interface element, the SOV-4a Service Constraints shows the
Service Policy elements that are applied to that Service Interface.
For information about how to apply a Service Policy to a Service Interface, see the
Service Policy topic.
Analyzed Packages
By default, the SOV-4a Service Constraints searches for Service Interface elements that are contained within the Architectural Description or Service Description that owns the SOV-4a Service Constraints.
To search for Service Interface elements from other Architectural Description and Service Description packages: right-click the SOV-4a Service Constraints, 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 Service Interface elements.
Example
In this example, the model is set up to generate tables and matrices as Excel spreadsheets. Architectural Description1 owns SOV-4a Service Constraints1 and contains two Service Interface elements, Service Interface1 and Service Interface2. Service Interface1 has Service Policy1 applied to it, Service Interface2 does not have any Service Policy elements applied to it.
When the Excel spreadsheet is generated for SOV-4a Service Constraints1, you can see from the table that Service Interface1 has Service Policy1 applied to it, and Service Interface2 does not have any Service Policy elements applied to it.
The following sections provide information about how an SOV-4a Service Constraints is used in the model.
