Activity Diagram: How to access Parameters with a Call Behavior Action (repost)

General Questions/Discussions
1

Sorry if this is a double post, but it seems my first attempt got lost in the shuffle.

My question concerns associated the pins of a Call Behavior Action with the Activity Parameters defined in the Activity being called. As an example, the first attached diagram is of an Activity (Increment), with Parameters INPUT and OUTPUT. In the second attached diagram (Top Level), I have a call to Increment, with and Input and Output pins. How do I associate the pins of Top Level with the parameters of Increment?

Hi user,

You may consider using the Reference feature. Here are the steps:

  1. Right click on the Input Pin and select Open Specification… from the popup menu.
  2. Open the References tab
  3. Click on Add Model Element…
  4. Select the Parameter
  5. Confirm the changes.

From now on you can quickly open the Parameter from input bin, by right clicking on the Parameter reference in the References tab of the input pin.

Best regards,

Jick–

Thanks so much for your reply. A reference between the pin and the parameter will certainly do the job.

And sorry about the double post!
