Creating collaboration occurrences in composite structure diagrams

In composite structure diagrams, you can create a collaboration occurrence to define the set of roles and connectors that co-operate in a structured classifier according to a specific collaboration. You use the collaboration occurrence to apply a pattern, which the collaboration defines, to a specific scenario.

In the Modeling perspective, a model must contain a collaboration and a composite structure diagram must be open.
To create a collaboration occurrence in a composite structure diagram:
  1. In the Palette, click Collaboration Occurrence.
  2. In the diagram editor, complete one of the following steps:
    • To create an unspecified collaboration occurrence, click Unspecified.
    • To create a new collaboration that you want to type with a new collaboration occurrence, click Create New Collaboration.
    • To create a collaboration occurrence for an existing collaboration, click Select Existing Element, select a collaboration from a list of available collaborations, and click OK.
  3. Type a name and press Enter.
