In SA 10.4 Has anyone else wondered why converting from DoDAF to DoDAF w/ABM removes objects like System Component/System Element and the corresponding relationship lines from the SV-1 Diagram? Also it removes the required linking of model objects in that diagram. I don't understand why this feature is disabled when the ABM functionality is turned on. Various other things are lost as well when enabling the ABM features, though I can work around the loss of a matrix or two. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have you found a solution? Thank you, Tyler

We have just stumbled upon a varient of this problem. Our understanding is that DoDAF w/ABM removed some of the relationships on the system side. We encountered it differently than you did, however. In our case, we have been unable to open the DoDAF encyclopdia in our DoDAF/ABM version of SA 10.4 - how did you do that? Our only end run so far has been to export each view/definition set in XML then import them into the ABM version. Thanks! Cliff

I think you'll find that the old SA C4ISR and DoDAF/ABM are incomaptible. Loading a C4ISR encyclo in SA configured for DoDAF/ABM will result in the problems reported above. The SVs are affected due to the removal of containment/keying from System Component, Element & Entity and on the interfaces between them. There are also "rules" for ABM OV-5's etc which will undoubtedly be disobeyed in OV-5s built in C4ISR. I seem to remember some Popkin documentation about "converting" C4ISR encyclos to DoDAF/ABM, but can't find it anymore. Try Telelogic...

Ian, Thanks for the comment! I was able to find a paper by Steve Ring that outlines the process for the conversion, and it says much the same thing that you have stated. Cliff
