Creating DoDAF Systems View products

You can create operational realizations in the Systems Event Trace Descriptions (SV-10c) product and the Operational Activity to Systems Function Traceability Matrix (SV-5) product to map systems and system functions to operational capabilities and activities. Systems View products describe relationships between systems resources and the Operational Views.

To create DoDAF Systems View products:
  1. In the Model Explorer view, expand the Systems Nodes package and double-click the Systems Nodes Diagram.
  2. Add systems nodes to the Systems Nodes package:
    1. In the Palette, click DoDAF.
    2. In the Palette, click Systems Node, and click in the diagram editor to insert the node.
    3. Type a name for the node, and press Enter.
    4. To add systems nodes to the DoDAF model, repeat steps b and c.
  3. To describe interactions between the systems nodes in your model, create sequence diagrams to represent DoDAF Systems Event Trace Descriptions (SV-10c) products :
    1. In the Model Explorer view, right-click an operational node; then click DoDAF > Create Operational Realizations. The Systems Event Trace Descriptions (SV-10c) product under the DoDAF Views and Systems View packages of the model now has an operational realization, a sequence diagram, and an interaction.
    2. Type a name for the sequence diagram and press Enter.
  4. In the sequence diagram, add lifelines to the interaction to represent the systems nodes in your model and add messages to describe information exchanges between the nodes.
  5. Generate the Operational Activity to Systems Function Traceability Matrix (SV-5): Right-click any element in your DoDAF model; then click DoDAF > Show SV-5 View. The Operational Activity to Systems Function Traceability Matrix (SV-5) is displayed in the DoDAF SV-5 view, which shows folders that contain realized operations and their system messages.
