Operation Properties

To view or edit an operation's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Parent	Specifies the service to which the operation belongs.
Name/Code/Comment	Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.
Operation type	Specifies the type of the operation. You can choose between: Notification One-way Request-Response Solicit-Response
Input	Specifies the document or data required to start the service, which can be linked to an XML model to define its format (see Forms, Documents, and Reports (EAM))
Output	Specifies the document or data returned by the service, which can be linked to an XML model to define its format (see Forms, Documents, and Reports (EAM))
Keywords	Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.
