About Activation Service Cartridge Relationships

You can use the Cartridge Generation tool only to generate service actions, as the Cartridge Generation tool cannot determine which atomic actions (one or possibly more) must be spawned for each service action. You create new atomic actions and action processors or select these entities from imported Activation Network cartridge projects. You then map each service action to several atomic actions, each of which need to be mapped to one or more action processors (1:1:many or 1:many:many relationship).

Note:

An atomic action from an imported cartridge is already mapped to one action processor. If you reuse the atomic action from the cartridge, do not change this mapping and do not map additional action processors to the atomic action. An atomic action that you create is not yet linked to other entities (service actions and action processors) and therefore always needs to be mapped. To link action processors to atomic actions, and to link atomic actions to service actions, drag an entity from the Studio Projects view to the mapping tab in the editor of the entity to which you want to link. For example, select an action processor from a cartridge project in your Studio Projects view, then drag the action to the Action Processor Mapping tab in the editor of the appropriate atomic action. Similarly, you can drag atomic actions to the Atomic Action tab of a Service Action editor.
