System (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create a System:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to DoDAF, point to System, and then click System.
• From a System: right-click the System, point to New, point to DoDAF, point to System, and then click System.
You can convert a System to a Software: right-click the System, point to Convert To, and then click Software.
Appearance
When shown on an SV-1 Systems Interface Definition, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, SV-4 Systems Functionality Hierarchy or SV-9 Systems Technology and Skills Forecast Definition, a System appears as follows:
When shown on an SV-1 Systems Interaction Specification or SV-2 Systems Resource Flow Description, a System appears as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a System:
• UML Generalizations define System inheritance (SV-1 Systems Interface Definition).
• Forecast relationships link a System to forecasted future System elements.
• Implements relationships link a System to the Performer (Operational), elements it implements.
• Activity Performed by Performer relationships link a System to Activity (System) elements that the System can perform.
• Used as a type for System Port and Resource Role elements.
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a System is used in the model.
Create a System from
• System
Create from a System
In addition to the UPDM elements that can be created from all UPDM elements (Representation, Definition, Information, and Metadata):
• System
Shown on these diagrams, tables and matrices
In addition to the AV-2 Integrated Dictionary and StdV-1 Standards Profile, which can show all UPDM elements:
• SV-10a Systems Rules Model (shows applied Rule (System) elements)
• SV-12 Service Provision (shows used Service Interface elements)
UPDM writeable properties
The following writeable properties are available on the System tab of a System element's Property Pages:
• isEncapsulated
• URI
