Using the Synchronize Performs Dependencies

This is an important helper as it automatically creates a lot of the allocation dependencies between Activities and the elements that can perform them for each domain in the framework.

About this task

Considering the previous example, you can add Swimlanes and assign ResourceRoles to them by dragging from the browser into the swimlane heading.

Procedure

  1. From the browser, select the activity-based diagram and right-click, the UAF Toolkit appears.
  2. From the UAF Toolkit, click Synchonize Performs Dependencies. This will create PerformsInContext dependencies from the instances to the actions. .
    For example, here instance are ResourceRoles in the Swimlanes and Actions are Function Actions.
    Tip: If you reallocate the elements on the process diagram you can generate new dependencies, but the wizard cannot delete them as it has no intelligence as to what is correct. Consider using the Synchronize Performs Dependencies wizard when you are sure that you have allocated all your activities.
