Support for Industry Patterns APQC & IBM Garage Method


Generic Port Behavior: Available via USRPROPS

Enhanced “Generic Port” Behavior

Part of foundation work for sysML but also can be used for custom frameworks via usrprops

Previously, SA supported “ports” in UML 2 – but it is hardcoded for UML only – not available generically

Values and Benefit:

•Support for Standards

•Support for custom Frameworks via

customizable metamodel



Generic Port is a node symbol type for which behavior has been specified to make it behave as a port attached to another node symbol – available for users to specify via USRPROPS.TXT

Restrict size Commands

Depict Like “Generic Port”

sysML Flow annotation



Requirement:

System Architect has had "box in box" representational consistency where an object that is semantically part of a container object is visually represented within the latter.

However, there are cases where the object should be represented and remain at the border of the container object instead

Data Centric “Systems of Systems”

Data Centric “Service w Interface”

DoDAF 2 UAF



In sysML:

A Port is a part of a Block, visually represented at the border of the Block

A connection (line) between Blocks are done through their ports

Can be used with any definition – Business Service, Platform Service, etc



Proxy (Flow) Port The SysML Flow Property indicators are controlled by

The "Show Flow Indicator" symbol property along with the Display Mode data

You can show “Realized” & “Required” Interface Indicator symbols: Specify that your “Generic Port” definition defines

interfaces

Specify a "Show interface indicators" symbol property to show the indicators

Set the display mode data to present the "Realized Interfaces" and "Required Interfaces" properties

You can specify to visualize a ‘UML Behavior’ Port indicator: Specify the isBehavioral definition property

Specify the Show isBehavior indicator symbol property and the Display Mode data.

The complete circle indicates

there are realized interfaces,

the incomplete circle indicates

there are required interfaces

The behavior indicator is a rounded

rectangle connected to the port with a

line. This is always just a little wider

and a little narrower in height than the

minimum size of the port symbol



“Generic Port” Supports All Types of Ports:

Full Port

Proxy (Flow) Port (from sysML 1.6) Proxy ports define the boundary by specifying which features

of the owning block or internal parts are visible through external connectors

Flow Port – note – this has been Depricated in sysML 1.5 (and 1.6). Flow port is replaced by proxy port “typed by interface blocks owning flow properties

Nested Port Ports nest other ports in the same way that blocks nest other

blocks

New & Improved Enterprise Merge/Extract returns to SA

It is a more sophisticated version of Merge/Extract

Enables Workflow that

Enables users to manage how artifacts are shared between encyclopedias,

Manage where changes are made to shared architecture artifacts,

Define a clear structure for encyclopedias, and

Provide better visibility, granularity, and management of the merge/extract process

Values and Benefit:

• Ability to Manage Architecture


Standard Merge/Extract vs Enterprise M/E

Standard Merge/Extract

Peer-to-Peer


Parent-Child

Encyclopedia F

Encyclopedia D

Encyclopedia B

Encyclopedia CEncyclopedia E

Encyclopedia A

*Slide

Courtesy



Enterprise Merge/Extract capability is intended to prevent the rather common problem, where the same artifact is edited in more than one encyclopedia – and then that information is to be merged again – resulting in the loss of work done in one or more encyclopedias, depending on how many encyclopedias are merged and the collision option selected

encyclopedias are constructed in a virtual hierarchy – where one encyclopedia is the master and all others are project or sub-project encyclopedias

Values and Benefit:

• Ability to Manage Architecture

DEMO














More




“Help Me Pick a Line” assistant gives you a grid based, searchable, and filterable means to see which line relationships can be made from/to which symbol and definition types

Values and Benefit:

• Usability – figuring

out which -- of

myraid relationship

types -- to use

DEMO














More




You can now specify size of analytic depiction icon using Size property in Analytic definition The value is specified in hundredths of an inch

Values and Benefit:

• “Ask the Architecture

Questions” and get Visual

Answers

DEMO



You can now specify size of analytic depiction icon using Size property in Analytic definition The value is specified in hundredths of an inch

DEMO



You now have an option on whether to display the ‘paperclip’ icon next to a symbol whose definition is linked to an external document. You also have options on the location on the symbol to display the ‘paperclip’ icon

Values and Benefit:

• Integration of Architecture w Sources

of Record & Visualizations of It














More



Data Centricity – Usability Enhancement

Lines added to a diagram due to representationally consistent behavior can be set to hidden using a new Diagram property 'Hide new lines added by refresh'. This allows diagrams dedicated to a specific perspective, which show only a subset of existing relationships, to not be ‘polluted’ by auto appearance of new relationships

Lines that are shown as a result of using the Hide/Show Relationship Lines function can now be selected so that users can see where they are and can proceed to perform other operations on them

Values and Benefit:

• Usability














More



BPMN Enhancement

The Event Based Gateway logic now draws a Parallel Event Based Gateway symbol when the symbol’s Event Logic property is set to AND. The standard Event Based Gateway will continue to be drawn when the Event Logic property is set to XOR

Values and Benefit:

• Support for Standards














More



SA XT Drawing -- Enhancement

Editing BPMN Diagrams in SA XT now supports resizing of Pool and Lane symbols

Values and Benefit:

• Support for Standards














More



SA XT Reporting – Enhancement

SA XT Query Builder – Save to File and Export Saved Queries: In the previous release, the SA XT reporting GUI provided an option to save your query as a Shared or Private query as part of the catalog. Two new options are provided: 1) Save reports to an existing Report file (.rpt) on the SAXT Server so that the queries are available to all users, and can be used as Subreports in subsequent queries. 2) Export those queries to a downloadable file to be used in SA Client, or simply as a backup, by opening the Manage Queries link and clicking the Export Button. A .rpt file will be generated with all the saved queries and user will be prompted to download

Values and Benefit:

The D3 charts displayed in SAXT and SA Publisher originally set the color distinction by the ‘Value’ field. Depending on you report output, you may instead want the colors to change by the ‘Name’ field, so now you have the option to change it in the chart menu bar.

An example is you have a bar chart with a count of definition types: Applications=3, Services=5, Software=3.

Color by ‘Value’ would set Applications and Software the same color because they both equal 3. Color by ‘Name’ would have different colors for all because they all have different names.

Values and Benefit:

Issues Fixed in 11.4.5.2


U52-6318 SA-Definition Editor When editing a text block on any diagram, if the text is edited and the "OK" button is pressed, SA acts as expected. If the "apply" button is pressed, SA crashes. So of course, the work around is only press "OK."

U52-6655 SA-Definition Editor Upon dropping the System Event Timeline from the SV-10c pallet the "Symbol - System Event Timeline" dialogue box appears to change the name; and choose a System Entity; of the action buttons on the dialogue the, "Ok " allows acceptance of the symbol on the diagram (and the picked name from the Entity list) with no editing capability. The "Apply" button freezes all further action in System Architect and a kill order has to be give from Task Manager and one must manually restart SA.

SA XT Diagram Editor

Enhancements have been made to the new SA XT diagram editor introduced in SA 11.4.5. (Note: This new graphic editor is based on Javascript/HTML 5, removing the requirement that the old editor had to load Java JAR files)

Enhancements to the new diagram editor in this release include: Load font data from Graphic Comment and Name configurations.

Load color from the stylesheet and from diagram data.

Presenting gradient fill in symbols.

Mode selector for BPMN diagrams controlling available drawing options and influencing available properties in the definition editor.

Diagram context menu provides access to diagram properties, symbol choices, parent diagrams.

Symbol context menu provides access to symbol definition, delete operation, child diagram creation/attachment/detachment/navigation.

Duplicate check when creating symbols and adding symbols via choices

Values and Benefit:

•New diagram editor based on

HTML 5 & Java Script provides

greater access and usability to

users



SA Publisher charts utilizing D3.js and drill-down on selections

All SA Publisher chart visualizations have been rewritten in JavaScript using D3.js JavaScript library to give the charts a graphical refresh.

The redesign includes the ability for charts to be filtered down based on selected items. By selecting a subset of the results, you can click the Drill Down button and a new table and

chart will be shown containing only those selected items, and can be further drilled down based on your needs. This is useful when trying to visualize data that fits a specific combination of attributes.

SA Publisher Support for Compressed SVG

Support has been reintroduced for compressing the contents of the SVG files when generating SVG images (SVG files for complex diagrams can grow quite large)

Note: Compressed SVG was supported in the old SA Publisher output prior to the update to JavaScript/HTML 5 output in SA 11.4.5

Values and Benefit:

• More attractive and more informative

dashboards for SA Publisher output

• Faster rendering of SVG of diagram images


Web Output: Elimination of Dependency on Java

The output of System Architect’s native HTML Generator feature no longer requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) be installed on the client machine for navigation.

The Java applications previously used for displaying a File Tree structure and for displaying SVG’s have been rewritten in Javascriptto eliminate that dependency. This includes the following web output utilities:

SA Compare

Compare Diagrams

HTML Generation (generated by selecting Reports, HTML Reports)

Values and Benefit:

•Output now based on Java

Script provides greater access

and usability to users


Support for Encrypted Connection to Encyclopedias

Encyclopedia database connections can now be requested to be encrypted by the client application.

Refer to the appropriate post-installation topic found in System Architect Help for more information

Values and Benefit:

•Better security for

encyclopedia connections


Additional Archimate 3.0 Matrices Added

The following additional ArchiMate 3.0 matrices have been added to the ArchiMate addon:

Business layer matrices:

Business Driver influences Goal

Business Event triggers Business Process

Business Process triggers Business Process

Business Service flows to Business Service

Application layer matrices:

Application Event triggers Application Process

Application Service triggers Data Object

Motivation layer matrices:

Outcome influences Outcome

Outcome influences Goal

Strategy layer matrices:

Course of Action influences Outcome

Values and Benefit:

•ArchiMate 3.0 is a popular EA

framework


Matrix Designer Enhancements

In support of matrices formed using explicit relationship definitions as cell definitions:

There is now a means of choosing the direction of the relationship, from column to row or the reverse, where the cell definition could support either direction. Where only one direction is supported the direction is shown to the user but the direction cannot be changed.

A warning is now shown in the Cell tab when restrictions defined by CONNECTS property set clauses will not allow the chosen relationship.

The titles for the columns and rows can now be specified. If not specified the names of the chosen definition types are used.

Values and Benefit:

• Matrix designer allows users to easily create their

own matrices – important for viewing the

architecture and adding information to it.

• Matrices that have a definition in the intersecting

cell are called Explicit-join (or ‘text-in-cell’) matrices

Support for Reference Keywords in Report Generator

‘References’ allows you to build report by navigating a related definition via the name of the Property Example: Application is related to

Technology via 2 properties – Operating System and Programming Language. You wish to build report that navigates to one of these properties

Support for ‘References’ and ‘Referenced By’ keywords have been added to the Report Generator User Interface

‘References Diagrams’, ‘References Symbols’, and ‘References Definitions’ are included in the list of relations for the second level onwards.


Support for Reference Keywords in Report Generator

‘Referenced By Diagrams’, ‘Referenced By Symbols, and ‘Referenced By Definitions’ are included in the list of relations for the second level onwards.

To further refine by definition type – click ‘Where’ again and click ‘No’ to get normal ‘Select Objects Where’ dialog

Values and Benefit:

•Allows fine granularity to build

report path through GUI

•Makes writing such complex

reports much easier

•Allows easier and more

powerful analysis, since reports

used for analytics, heatmaps



ArchiMate 3.0









New Property Set Keywords

You can now modify metamodel to HIDE Entire Chapter (tab) of Definition

New HIDE command introduced Syntax:

CHAPTER <name>

[HIDE] [AND_SUBTYPES]

The presence of the HIDE keyword will cause all existing properties or controls within the named chapter at that point in the property set parsing to be hidden.

A few lines of Usrprops with HIDE and INVISIBLE command complete

changes definition dialog


New Property Set Keywords

You can also hide all properties and then add another to the same chapterExample:

CHAPTER <name>

HIDE

PROPERTY “x” { edit text }

The AND_SUBTYPES option indicates that the hiding of the chapter should also be processed in subtypes which are definitions which inherit from the definition being defined.

Values and Benefit:

•Previously you had to make

each individual property of a

Chapter (tab) to be INVISIBLE –

very tedious USRPROPS work

•Makes modifying property set

of a definition much easier

•Makes USPROPS much more

streamlined



ArchiMate 3.0









Improvement of Symbol assignments to

diagrams in Meta Model Editor

Symbols were assigned using the ASSIGN TO keyword within the Symbol block. This made it hard to sort symbol arrangements on the Draw toolbar

There is an alternative syntax: ASSIGN symbol TO diagram

Support has been added for this syntax in the SA User Prop generation along with the support for the EMBEDDEDBY modification for this alternative USRPROPS syntax

The existing Meta Model Object properties were used, so existing designs will generate using this new syntax.

Values and Benefit:

•GUI for metamodel editor important to

easily customize metamodel and maintain

the customization

•This feature is ease-of-use improvement



ArchiMate 3.0









Object History can now display GUIDs

Object compare now provides GUID

GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) is an identifier shared between encyclopedias where the same item has been transferred, so this can be an important item to show when checking object history when preparing lists of items to be transferred between encyclopedias

Values and Benefit:

•Important aspect of

comparison when performing

merging of encyclopedias or

workspaces



ArchiMate 3.0









Merge/Extract: Filter by Explorer View

When merging or extracting use the Tools\Collaboration\Merge or Extract option, you can now produce an action item file from the contents of an Explorer View.

Both Static and Dynamic views are supported, and you can choose whether subordinate definitions and child diagrams are to be included

Values and Benefit:

•Merge/Extract Compare is vital

to management of EA

•Views is vital to categorization

and management of EA info



ArchiMate 3.0









Update to Display Mode capabilities

Display Mode dialog now states for which symbol type and which underlying definition type settings are being modified for. Changes now stored on this basis in both the diagram

and stylesheet files

As property set changes are introduced and compiled, any changes to the displayable properties are recorded

Values and Benefit:

•Display Mode dialog provides great

fidelity on setting display options on

selected symbols, symbols of a certain

type on diagram, or symbols of a certain

type globally



ArchiMate 3.0










Logical and Physicaldiplay settings added to new Display Mode dialog

Values and Benefit:

•Display Mode dialog provides

great fidelity on setting display

options on selected symbols,

symbols of a certain type on
