How to add UseCase to State Transition...
« on: June 30, 2011, 12:32:20 am »
Hi@all

I have the situation, where I've created some use cases and a domain model with classes. On some classes, I attached a state machine.

Now the question: When I'm creating a transition between two states, how am I able to make a reference to an existing use case? In the UI,  when i click on "Effect is a Behavior" checkbox and the "Select Behavior" dialog shows up, I'm not seeing any of the use cases I already created.

My EA Version is 8.0.858, Coporate Edition

Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the forum.
There are many wonderful and erudite persons here who may be able to help you with your quest. I, unfortunately, am not one of them.  
Your question is interesting and I would look forward to a reply from others that may shed light on exactly how a conceptual behavioral element could be related etc etc.
Please don't take this the wrong way, as it is addressed to others who may be able to help.
best of luck,
oh and by the way, guys, no I just can't hack it anymore.
see ya

Daniel,

In UML the effect of a transition is a Behavior.
A Use Case is not a behavior ergo you can't use a Use Case as the effect of a transition.
You can use things like Statemachines, Interactions and Activities.
EA also allows to select Operations, but that is not UML compliant.
