You can add UPIA elements and relationships to models and diagrams
by using UPIA modeling tools that set the correct stereotypes
and properties automatically.
About this task
Automatic generation of exchanges, needlines, and system interfaces
The generation tool for UPIA models can scan a model for
messages and object flows that define an exchange between performers
and then create appropriate resource, information, or data exchange
elements. Subsequently, the generation tool can scan the model for
exchange elements and then create appropriate resource flows, needlines,
or system interface elements.
Generating exchanges, needlines, and system interfaces in UPIA models
You can automatically generate resource, information and
data exchanges, needlines, resource flows, and system interfaces in
UPIA models. The generation tool for UPIA models can scan a model
for messages and object flows that define an exchange between performers
and then create appropriate exchange elements. Subsequently, the generation
tool can scan the model for exchange elements and then create appropriate
resource flows, needlines, or system interface elements.
Customizing icons and elements shapes for UPIA models
You can create your own customized profiles with customized stereotypes
that define domain-specific icons and shapes for elements in UPIA models.
After you apply the new profile to a model, and apply and reorder the stereotypes,
the custom icons and elements are displayed in the model.
