SV-7 Systems measures matrix (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix:
• Right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description that is to own the SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, point to New, point to Matrix/Table, point to DoDAF, and then click SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix.
• Right-click the Performer (System), Organization Type, System Context, Person Role Type, System, Responsibility, Service Access, Service Description or Software that is to own the SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, point to New, point to DoDAF, and then click SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix.
When you open an SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, 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 > > , and then select HyperTextMarkupLanguage_HTML or Excel_XLS.
Each time you open an SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, Modeler generates the product using the latest data from the model.
Purpose
On an SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix:
• View measured properties that are available for system resources through Measure and Service Level Value Set elements.
• For those measured properties, view the permitted minimum and maximum values, and the actual values that have been set through the Measure and Service Level Value Set elements.
Elements Shown
The SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix shows the following elements:
• The owner of an SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix determines which system resource elements are shown in the table:
◦ For an Architectural Description or Service Description owned SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, a row is created for each system resource that is found in the analyzed Packages
◦ For a system resource owned SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, a row is created for only the system resource that owns the SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix.
◦ A system resource can be an Architectural Description, Performer (System), Organization Type, System Context, Person Role Type, System, Responsibility, Service Access, Service Description or Software element.
The Type and Name (System Resource) columns are populated from the Type and Name properties of each system resource.
• For each system resource row, a sub-row is created for each Measure and Service Level Value Set that is applied to the system resource.
The Name, Intention and Actual Value columns are populated from the Name, Intention and Actual Value properties of each Measure and Service Level Value Set.
The Unit and Dimension columns are populated from the names of any Unit or Dimension elements that are linked to the type of the Measure or Service Level Value Set. The type of a Measure or Service Level Value Set can be linked to a Unit or Dimension only when it is based on a SysML Value Type.
• For each Measure and Service Level Value Set sub-row, a sub-row is created for each measured property that the Measure or Service Level Value Set provides.
A measured property can be a Capability Property, Condition Property, Environment Property, Measurement, Property or Service Attribute. The owning element determines which measured properties are available. For example, you can create only Measurement measured properties for a Measure Type.
The Property, Minimum Value and Maximum Value columns are populated from the Name, minValue and maxValue properties of each measured property.
Analyzed Packages
For a system resource owned SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, the Analyzed Packages are ignored and only the owning system resource appears in the table.
For an Architectural Description or Service Description owned SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, by default the SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix searches for system resource elements that are contained within the Architectural Description or Service Description that owns the SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix.
To search for system resource elements from other Architectural Description and Service Description packages:
• Right-click the SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix, 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 system resource elements.
Example
In this example:
• Architectural Description1 contains SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix1 and the system resource Organization Type1.
• We create a Measure Type named Measure Type1.
• From Measure Type1, we create a Measurement named Measurement1. On the Measurement tab of its Property Pages, we set the minValue and maxValue properties of Measurement1 to 0 and 100 respectively.
• We create a Measure named Measure1 and select Measure Type1 as its type.
• We apply Measure1 to Organization Type1.
To create this relationship from a system resource: right-click the system resource, point to Links, and then click Actual Property Set.
• Through Measure1 we set the actual value of Measurement1 to 50.
To set the actual value for a Measure: right-click the Measure, point to Set, and then click Values. From the Instance Editor, set the values of the measured properties as required.
When generated, SV-7 Systems Measures Matrix1 appears as follows.
From the table you can see the following:
• Organization Type1 has been found in the analyzed Packages.
• Organization Type1 uses Measure1 to specify actual values of measured properties provided by Measure Type1, which in our example is Measurement1.
• The actual value of Measurement1 has been set to 50. The minimum value of Measurement1 is 0 and its maximum value is 100.
