Drawing service functions on SOV diagrams for MODAF
The SOV-5 is used to model the required functionality that an implementation of a service is expected to have. Add Service Functions to your SOV-5 diagram to depict the required functionality.
Prerequisite This topic describes the UML method of modeling SOV-05. The method of modeling SOV-05 by using UML activity diagrams is deprecated in the current version of the MODAF modeling feature. If you previously created SOV-05 diagrams using UML activity diagrams, existing data can remain in that form. To work with existing UML diagrams to model the SOV-05, you must first enable UML in the encyclopedia.
1 To draw a Service Function, draw an Action State on the diagram.
2 Open the Definition dialog box for the Action State.
3 On the Introduction tab, navigate to Page 2; then from the Stereotype list, select Service Function.
If you have specified that the diagram is of stereotype <<SOV-05 Service Functionality>>, then the stereotype property of the Action State is automatically set to <<Service Function>>.
To turn off display of this stereotype, right-click the Action State symbol; then toggle off Stereotype.
4 Click OK.
The term Service Function is appended to the name of the Service Function on the diagram.
5 Draw Action Transition lines between Action States to denote functional flow.
