Generating NSV-6 System Information Exchange Matrix reports for NAF 3
You can generate tabular reports that describe system data exchanges between systems in a node and from those systems to systems at other nodes.
The focus of the System Information Exchange Matrix is on how the data exchanges are implemented, in system-specific details that include such characteristics as specific protocols, and data or media formats. These aspects of exchanges are critical for understanding the potential overhead and constraints that the physical aspects of the implementation introduce.
Note There are two different System Information Exchange Matrices to choose from the NSV/NSV-6 and the NOV/NSV-6. The NSV/NSV-6 report retrieves both the NSV-1 Interface diagrams and NSV-2 Communications diagrams that were previously created. The report can be run for specified System Interface definitions as well. The NOV / NSV-6 report is driven from the NOV-2 Operational Node Connectivity diagram. It searches the Information Exchanges, finds all ties to System Data Exchanges made, and reports on the rest of the information contained in the standard NSV-driven report.
1 Click Reports > NAF Reports.
2 Click System Information Exchange Matrix (NSV/NSV-6 or NOV/NSV-6).
3 To run the report, specify either By Definition or By Diagram; then click Run.
The report opens in an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
