NAV-3a Architecture Compliance Statement (Metadata)
The NAV-3a subview is used to certify (officially state) that an architecture satisfies all the applicable (externally) imposed criteria to a required degree. The criteria in question are documented in the official NAF documentation.
Its aim is also to communicate to the stakeholders of the architecture effort, and to other architects, that an architecture meets the requirements of the NAF.
The NAV-3a Report Template
There are different parameters required for checking the compliance of architecture items with NAF regulations:
• The Architecture parameter which specifies the architecture to be analyzed.
• The Regulations parameter, which is optional. You can select the regulations for which you want to check object compliance. However, if this parameter is not set, the architecture objects are checked against all the NAF regulations noted in the database.
• The Types to Check parameter. This is also optional. This parameter is used to select the types of objects to be checked. If no types are selected, all the items retrieved from the architecture exploration are checked.
• The Display All Checked Items parameter, which is optional. This parameter enables the display of all the checked items, whether their status is OK or not. If this parameter is not set, by default, all the items retrieved that are OK are not displayed.
