JTLS Link Concept
To Populate LOGFAS
Create Profiles And Units In Each Profile
Used By Users To Limit Their View Of Forces
Create A New JTLS Object – LOGFAS Profile
Don’t Need To Create These Objects
Enter: Profile Name, Profile Top Unit (Any Type)
The Profile Contains That Unit And All Subordinates
Cannot Put Two Different Unit Structures In One Profile
Everyone Not In Profile Placed In Default Profile
LOGFAS User Can Manipulate These Profiles

7. Original Concept Benefits
Service Oriented Architecture
Available To JLVC 2020 If They Ever Create A Functional Runtime Database
Allows LOGFAS User To Modify Profiles
Not An Automated Procedure
But Not A Difficult Procedure

8. Original Concept Issues
At C4I First Operational Testing
Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXploration, eXperimentation, eXamination, eXercise (CWIX), Joint Forces Training Center in Bydgoszcz, Poland
LOGFAS Teams Said
Normally Do Not Get Holdings XML Updates
Normally Get New Initialization File
We Currently Do Not Believe This But …
Waiting For Confirmation

10. Modified Concept Issues
Not A Service Architecture
Too Much Data Needed For Initialization File
Uncomfortable Putting Needed Data Into JODA
Reasons
JODA Overload Not Really Needed
Coding Effort For Which There Is No Funding
Changing LOGFAS Profiles
Becomes Model Responsibility
New Initialization File Will “Wipe” Out User Profile Changes
