Optimizing capabilities for DoDAF 2 modeling
You can enable capabilities in the product that simplify the drawing of DoDAF 2 subtypes, update DoDAF 2 icons with symbols consistent with IBM Rational products, and improve the appearance of DoDAF 2 reports by using the NAMEONLY keyword at the report or property levels.
The three modeling capabilities in the procedure below are enabled using a keyword and value in the command line.
Syntax
-dodaf2plus [1|2|3]
Parameters
1: NAMEONLY keyword is enabled for reports
2: Subtype drawing tools and DoDAF 2 icons are enabled
3: NAMEONLY keyword, subtype drawing tools, and DoDAF 2 icons are enabled.
Procedure
1 Open a command line.
2 To enable only the use of the NAMEONLY keyword for definitions and properties, type -dodafplus [1], then press ENTER.
3 To enable only enhanced icons for DoDAF 2.0 and element subtype drawing tools in the toolbar, do this:
Navigate to the root installation directory for System Architect and rename ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file, which is the old icon file.
For example, at C:\Program Files\UNICOM Systems\System Architect Suite\System Architect, rename the ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file to ExplorerIconBitmaps_OLD.zip file.
Rename the DM2_ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file to ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file.
When you create a new encyclopedia, the new .zip file is used.
To upgrade an existing encyclopedia, use the encyclopedia file manager to install the new .zip file to the root workspace.
To enable the new icons for the diagram toolbar, in the command line, type -dodafplus [2]; then press ENTER.
4 To enable all of the new DoDAF 2 capabilities, which includes the use of the NAMEONLY keyword, DoDAF 2 icons, and element subtype drawing tools in the toolbar, perform the following steps:
Navigate to the root installation directory for System Architect and rename ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file, which is the old icon file.
For example, at C:\Program Files\UNICOM Systems\System Architect Suite\System Architect, rename ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file to ExplorerIconBitmaps_OLD.zip file.
Rename DM2_ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file to ExplorerIconBitmaps.zip file.
When you create a new encyclopedia, the new .zip file is used.
To upgrade an existing encyclopedia, use the encyclopedia file manager to install the new .zip file to the root workspace.
To enable the new icons for the diagram toolbar, in the command line, type -dodafplus [3]; then press ENTER.
5 Close the command line.
6 If you have enabled DoDAF 2 subtype drawing tools, to simplify the drawing of symbols, click Tools > Preferences > Allow in-place name edit for new symbols. When In Place Name Edit is enabled, you can edit the name of each new symbol in the symbol itself.
