Resource constraint (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Resource Constraint:
From an Architectural Description, Physical Data Model or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to NAF, point to System, and then click Resource Constraint.
After creating a Resource Constraint, use the Full Text property to specify the text of that Resource Constraint.
Applying to elements
When you create a Resource Constraint it is applied to the owning element, unless the owning element is an Architectural Description, Physical Data Model or Service Description. You can apply a Resource Constraint to many elements.
To apply a Resource Constraint to an element:
From an appropriate diagram: click the Note Link button, click the Resource Constraint, and then click the element to which the Resource Constraint applies.
From an appropriate Modeler pane:
Right-click the Resource Constraint, point to Links, and then click Resource Constrained Element. From the Links Editor, select the elements to which the Resource Constraint applies.
Right-click the element, point to Links, point to Applied, and then click Resource Constraint. From the Links Editor, select the Resource Constraint elements that apply to the element.
