Defining an Element Interaction Point
Principle
The interaction point of an element connects an interaction to one of the components in communication. It enables specification of:
• The service point or query point that intervenes in the communication.
• The role, consumer or supplier, represented by the interaction point in the exchange contract.

To modify properties of an element interaction point:
1. Right-click the interaction beside the communication entity.
2. Open the interaction properties and select the Characteristics tab.
3. Select the Played Service Role, that is the role of the exchange contract played by the element interaction point.
4. Select the Interaction Endpoint Target, that is the service (or request) point concerned by the interaction.
5. Click OK.
