Resource operation (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Resource Operation:
• From a Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Service Access or Software: right-click the element, point to New, point to MODAF, and then click Resource Operation.
On the Select Realizes dialog, select the realized Function. Modeler sets the name of the Resource Operation to that of the realized Function.
• From an SV-1 Resource Definition: click the Resource Operation button, and then click the owning element.
Resource Operation button, and then click the owning element.The owning element can be a Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Service Access or Software element.
On the Select Realizes dialog, select the realized Function. Modeler sets the name of the Resource Operation to that of the realized Function.
• From an SV-10c Resource Event-Trace Description, click the 
Resource Operation Message or 
Resource Operation Reply Message button, in line with the required Statement click the source lifeline, and then click the destination lifeline.
Resource Operation Message or Resource Operation Reply Message button, in line with the required Statement click the source lifeline, and then click the destination lifeline.When you create the Resource Operation message, you are prompted to create or select the Resource Operation that represents the Function you want to show on the SV-10c Resource Event-Trace Description.
To change the Resource Operation element's realized Function: right-click the Resource Operation, point to Links, and then click Realizes.
Appearance
When shown on an SV-1 Resource Definition, a Resource Operation appears similar to as follows:
When shown on an SV-10b Resource State Transition Description, a Resource Operation appears as a Do Resource Operation call:
When shown on an SV-10c Resource Event-Trace Description, a Resource Operation appears as a Resource Operation message:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Resource Operation:
• A Resource Operation Action can invoke a Resource Operation.
• A Resource Atomic State, Resource Concurrent State and Resource Sequential State element can call a Resource Operation through a Do Resource Operation call.
