Multiplicity

Select any one of the following:

  • Required: If the required parameters are not available, ASAP will not validate the work orders. The minimum and maximum values are both 1.

  • Optional: If the optional parameters are not available, ASAP will proceed validating the work orders. The minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 1.

  • Range: You can change Minimum, Maximum, and Unbounded only when you select Range. Depending on the minimum value, multiplicity will be either required or optional for an ASAP server. If minimum is 0, multiplicity is an optional parameter for ASAP. If minimum is greater than 0, multiplicity is a required ASAP parameter. Multiplicity can be seen in the build artifact file of the atomic actions in the generated SAR file.
