Operational activity action (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create an Operational Activity Action:
• From an Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity: right-click the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity, point to New, point to NAF, point to Action Node, and then click Operational Activity Action.
On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity that is the invoked by the Operational Activity Action.
• From an NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy: click the Operational Activity Action button, click the source Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity, and then click the invoked Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity.
Operational Activity Action button, click the source Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity, and then click the invoked Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity.• From an NOV-5 Operational Activity Model:
◦ Click the Operational Activity Action button, and then click in free space on the diagram. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity that is invoked by the Operational Activity Action.
Operational Activity Action button, and then click in free space on the diagram. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity that is invoked by the Operational Activity Action.◦ From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity element that will be invoked by the Operational Activity Action, and then drag that element to free space on the diagram.
On the Items tab of an Operational Activity Action element's property pages, you can view and navigate to the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity that is invoked by the Operational Activity Action through the Linked Item association.
Input Pins and Output Pins
An Operational Activity Action can own Operational Input Pin and Operational Output Pin elements.
On creation of an Operational Activity Action, Modeler creates an Operational Input Pin or Operational Output Pin to represent each Operational Parameter of the Operational Activity or Standard Operational Activity that is used as the type of the Node Operation Action.
Note that after creating an Operational Activity Action, Operational Input Pin and Operational Output Pin elements are not automatically created for new Operational Parameter elements that are created on the associated Operational Activity.
Appearance
When shown on an NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy, an Operational Activity Action appears as follows:
When shown on an NOV-5 Operational Activity Model, an Operational Activity Action appears as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to an Operational Activity Action:
• Is Capable Of Performing relationships can be created by adding an Operational Activity Action to an Operational Partition.
The following sections provide information about how an Operational Activity Action is used in the model.
