Most of the data mapping problems you may encounter come from the fact that certain concepts and model names in DoDAF 1.5 standard differ in UPDM 1.x standard. If you are a DoDAF user and are not familiar with UPDM concepts, we strongly recommend that you first read this document and UPDM specifications before proceeding with migration.

DoDAF 1.5 models in MagicDraw are represented in the forms of diagrams, matrixes or tables. As explained in sub-section 3.1 below (Product Mapping), while representation formats have not changed, separate product representation has.

Please also note that all reports differ in DoDAF and UPDM. If you are familiar with report templates and velocity language, you can make DoDAF reports compatible with UPDM ones manually by changing the names of the stereotypes used to gather project data. However, if you are not, we recommend that you use predefined UPDM reports.
