Generating reports on the balance of NOV-2 and NOV-5 information exchanges (NAF)
You can run a utility that reports on the balance of information exchanges used on needlines in NOV-2 operational node connectivity diagrams with the information exchanges used by ICOM arrows on NOV-5 activity diagrams.
Prerequisite
There must be at least one NOV-5 activity model and a corresponding NOV-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 NOV-2 and NOV-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 > NAF Utilities.
2 Select Balance NOV-2 and NOV-5 Info. Exchanges.
A list of top-level NOV-5 activity diagrams and NOV-2 operational node connectivity diagrams is displayed.
3 Select one NOV-5 diagram and one NOV-2 diagram from each list for balancing.
4 Click Run.
Result
The report is generated in a Microsoft Word document with a list of the balance check results.
