Element Type Definition: USE_CASE

Oracle Designer Model, Release 6i
Element Type Definition

Element Type Name	USE_CASE_ACTION
Short Name	UCA
View Name	CI_USE_CASE_ACTIONS
Description	Each use case is described by a collection of use case actions which
	are not shareable between use cases. These use case actions are
	structured as an orderly hierarchy, with children explicitly sequenced
	within their parent

Sub-type of	SECONDARY_ACCESS_ELEMENT
Non-instantiable super-type of	EVENT_ACTION
	EXTENSION_POINT
	GENERAL_ACTION
	INCLUSION_ACTION

	As this is a non-instantiable supertype, follow links (above) to its instantiable subtypes to find versioning information for each subtype, uniqueness criteria, API rules etc
Underlying table:	SDD_UCA

Reference Properties
Name	Opt ?	Notes	Relationship	In Arc
USE_CASE_REFERENCE	N	Prompt: Use Case Transferable only if null	Must be part of one and only one USE_CASE
GENERAL_ACTION_REFERENCE	Y	Prompt: Parent General Action	May be a child of one and only one GENERAL_ACTION

Properties
Name	Datatype	Opt ?	Notes	Domain	Default Value
NAME	VARCHAR2(100)	N	Name of the use case action Prompt: Name
SEQUENCE_IN_PARENT	NUMBER(6, 0)	N	Sequence of this use case action within its parent, or within other 'top level' use case actions that do not have parents Prompt: Sequence Within Parent System maintained: API provides a value only if left null by the user
USE_CASE_ACTION_SUBTYPE	VARCHAR2(3)	N	Sub-type discriminator. Internal property indicating the specific type of use case action Not displayed Uppercase System maintained Not updatable by user	USE_CASE_ACTION_SUBTYPE
PARENT_IVID	NUMBER(38, 0)	Y	Internal use only. Exists on "secondary" element types from a versioning viewpoint. Contains the IVID of the primary element type (not necessarily a PAC) forming the basis of the "versionable object" to which this element type belongs Not displayed System maintained Updatable only if null Defined on SAC supertype
PAC_REFERENCE	NUMBER(38, 0)	Y	Internal use only. Exists on "secondary" element types from a structural viewpoint. Contains the IRID of the PAC forming the basis of the "logical object" to which this element type belongs Not displayed System maintained Not updatable by user Defined on SAC supertype
