BasicActions


*Generalizations

   

    Pin (from BasicActions ) on page 275

*Description

   An input pin is a pin that holds input values to be consumed by an action.

*Attributes

   No additional attributes

*Associations

   No additional associations

*Constraints

   No additional constraints

*Semantics

   An action cannot start execution if an input pin has fewer values than the lower multiplicity. The upper multiplicity determines how many values are consumed by a single execution of the action.

*Notation

   No specific notation. See extensions in Activities.

   InputPin is the same concept as in UML 1.5, but modeled independently of the behaviors that use it.
