Activity partition (system) (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
An Activity Partition (System) is a proprietary element that is required to model UPDM in Modeler.
Creation
To create an Activity Partition (System):
• From an Activity (System) or Activity Partition (System): right-click the Activity (System) or Activity Partition (System), point to New, point to DoDAF, point to Activity Group, and then click Activity Partition (System). From the Select Type dialog, create or select the system resource or Resource Role that is represented by the Activity Partition (System).
• From an SV-4 Systems Functionality Description:
◦ Click the Activity Partition (System) button, and then click in free space or within an Activity Partition (System) on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the system resource or Resource Role that is represented by the Activity Partition (System).
Activity Partition (System) button, and then click in free space or within an Activity Partition (System) on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the system resource or Resource Role that is represented by the Activity Partition (System).◦ When the represented system resource is related to other system resources through Resource Role relationships, you can quickly create and add nested Activity Partition (System) elements to represent those Resource Role elements: right-click the Activity Partition (System), point to Populate, point to Nodes and then click Function Partitions (New & Existing).
A system resource element can be a Performer (System), Organization Type, System Context, Person Role Type, System, Responsibility, Service Access, or Software element.
On the Items tab of an Activity Partition (System) element's property pages, you can view and navigate to the element that is represented by the Activity Partition (System) through the Linked Item association.
Appearance
When shown on an SV-4 Systems Functionality Description, an Activity Partition (System) appears as follows:
Through the View Options you can show the Activity Partition (System) vertically or horizontally.
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to an Activity Partition (System):
• On an SV-4 Systems Functionality Description, Activity Partition (System) elements can be used to create and delete Activity Performed by Performer relationships between system resource elements and Activity (System) elements:
◦ When you create the Activity Action (System) within an Activity Partition (System), Modeler creates an Activity Performed by Performer relationship between the system resource that is represented by the Activity Partition (System) and the Activity (System) that is the type of the Activity Action (System).
◦ Dragging an Activity Action (System) to an Activity Partition (System) creates an Activity Performed by Performer relationship between the system resource that is represented by that Activity Partition (System) and the Activity (System) that is the type of the Activity Action (System).
◦ Dragging an Activity Action (System) from an Activity Partition (System) deletes the Activity Performed by Performer relationship that exists between the system resource that is represented by the Activity Partition (System) and the Activity (System) that is the type of the Activity Action (System).
