Adding a Return Type to an Entity Operation

Some of the entity operation stereotypes do not require you to model the return type as it is implied by the stereotype. You can set the return type on an entity operation when you create the operation. If you want to add a return type later or change the return type, do the following:

  1. Select the operation in the Project Explorer.
  2. Select the General tab in the Properties page and select 'Set return type'.

If the return type you select is an entity, you must also select the Shadow Type. To select the Shadow Type:

  1. Open the Cúram tab, select the required Shadow Type value for the Shadow_Type property.
  2. If you change the return type on an operation and the new return type does not require a Shadow_Type, make sure that the ShadowType on the Cúram page is set to unspecified.
