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

Create from an Activity Action (Operational)
In addition to the UPDM elements that can be created from all UPDM elements ( Representation, Definition, Information, and Metadata):
• Input Pin (Operational) - only through an OV-5 Operational Activity Model
• Output Pin (Operational) - only through an OV-5 Operational Activity Model
Shown on these diagrams, tables and matrices
