Operation action (system) (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create an Operation Action (System):
• From an Activity (System) or Activity Structured Node (System): right-click the element, point to New, point to DoDAF, point to Action Node, and then click Operation Action (System). On the Select Type dialog, select the Operation (System) that is invoked by the Operation Action (System).
• From an SV-4 Systems Functionality Description:
◦ Click the Operation Action (System) button, and then click in free space or within a containing element on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, select the Operation (System) that is invoked by the Operation Action (System).
Operation Action (System) button, and then click in free space or within a containing element on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, select the Operation (System) that is invoked by the Operation Action (System).◦ From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Operation (System) that you want to invoke from the Operation Action (System), and then drag that Operation (System) to free space or within a containing element on the diagram.
On the Items tab of an Operation Action (System) element's property pages, you can view and navigate to the Operation (System) that is invoked by the Operation Action (System) through the Linked Item association.
Input Pins and Output Pins
An Operation Action (System) can own Input Pin (System) and Output Pin (System) elements.
On creation of an Operation Action (System), Modeler creates an Input Pin (System) or Output Pin (System) to represent each Parameter (System) of the Operation (System) that is used as the type of the Operation Action (System). In addition, Modeler creates an Input Pin (System) named Target Pin.
Appearance
When shown on an SV-4 Systems Functionality Description, an Operation Action (System) appears as follows:
