Generating reports on the balance of OV2 and OV5 information exchanges
You can run a utility that reports on the balance of information exchanges used on needlines in OV-2 operational node connectivity diagrams with the information exchanges used by ICOM arrows on OV-5 activity diagrams.
Prerequisite
There must be at least one OV-5 activity model and a corresponding OV-2 operational node connectivity diagram in the current encyclopedia. The symbols in each diagram must be defined and the appropriate information present for comparison.
In the OV-2 and OV-5 diagrams that you select, the following balancing operation checks are performed:
▪needlines without information exchanges
▪information exchanges without corresponding needlines
▪information exchanges on needlines not used on the activity model
▪information exchanges to operational activity validation
▪source operational activity and operational node discrepancies
▪destination operational activity and operational node discrepancies
▪source or destination operational activity and operational node
To generate balance OV2 and OV5 information exchanges reports:
1 Click Tools > MODAF Utilities.
2 Select Balance OV-2 and OV-5 Info. Exchanges.
A list of top-level OV-5 activity diagrams and OV-2 operational node connectivity diagrams is displayed.
3 Select one OV-5 diagram and one OV-2 diagram from each list for balancing.
4 Click Run.
The report is generated in a Word document with a list of the balance check results.
