You use the Pattern Parameters page of the Apply Pattern wizard,
to specify argument values for one or more of the pattern parameters.
Each row in the table of pattern parameters represents a parameter.
Unless restricted by the pattern design, you can specify the pattern arguments
from any open model or create new elements that are added to the model you
selected to locate the pattern instance.
Note: If you prefer, you can
click the Finish button and specify some or all of
arguments using the pattern instance on the diagram view.
- Pattern parameter values
- Displays the arguments for the pattern parameter. To add an argument,
click the cell under Value for a particular parameter
row. The type of argument value you create or select with the browse button
is dependent on the UML 2.0 type of the parameter. See the related task topic,
"Applying patterns with the Apply Pattern wizard", for instructions on how
to enter all type choices.
- Add Value
- Click to add an argument for the currently selected parameter row. If
the parameter’s multiplicity allows more than one value for each parameter,
a new row will be created below the parameter after a value is added.
- Delete Value
- Click to remove the value in the currently selected row.
- View pattern documentation
- Click to review any related pattern documentation. This information
may help you select the appropriate arguments. Some patterns may not have
documentation because it is not a requirement of pattern design.
