To align assets to the Application Reference Model (ARM), use the ARM Categorization of Asset matrix in the FEAF2 matrix set. To do so:

2 In the Matrix Browser dialog, select the FEAF 2 matrix set, notated by the red star at the bottom of the dialog.

System Architect enables you to categorize the following asset types against FEAF 2 ARM Categories through the ARM Categorization of Asset matrix:
