Drawing Services on SOV diagrams for MODAF
You can add services to your SOV-1 and SOV-2 diagrams. This topic describes the method for adding services to UML diagrams only.
Prerequisite The method of modeling SV-02 by using UML class diagrams is deprecated in the current version of the MODAF modeling feature. If you previously created SV-02 diagrams using UML class diagrams, existing data can remain in that form. To work with existing UML diagrams to model the SV-02, you must first enable UML in the encyclopedia.
1 Draw a class on the diagram, and specify a stereotype of «Service».
2 To center the class name and stereotype, perform the following steps:
Select the class symbol; then click Format > Symbol Format > Text Position.
In the dialog box, choose symbol name and text positioning.
3 To build a service hierarchy for SOV-1 Service Taxonomy diagrams, draw Inherits From lines between classes.
4 To show association relationships between Services, draw Association lines between classes.
For example, you might draw an association line between a Service and an interface class on an SOV-2 Service Interface Specification diagram.
5 To show which Service Functions support Services on an SOV-5 diagram, draw Dependency lines from Service Functions to Services they support.
