Chapter 4 Managing Profiles

Defining a Calculated Collection in a Profile

You define a calculated collection on a metaclass, a stereotype or a criteria, when you need to display a list of associated objects with a user-defined semantic. Calculated collections have a fixed content that cannot be modified by the user, whereas the content of an extended collection can be modified by a user.

For more information on extended collections, see the "Defining an Extended Collection in a Profile" section.

Examples

In a sequence diagram, you need the list of sequence diagrams using an operation, you can create a calculated collection on the operation metaclass that retrieves this information.

In a BPM, you can create a calculated collection on the process metaclass that lists the CDM entities created from data associated with the process.
