Define method signature

Provides additional information / documentation of methods in the EDMdatabase.
The purpose of the user defined method signatures is to provide information about the methods and their input parameters to the users. The methods in question are Express-X mapping schemas and query functions. Query functions already have their input parameters stored in the dictionary model. Therefore, this function is not applicable for query function methods. Use Modify method signature to add this information. For mapping schemas, there is no information about the required input parameters in the dictionary model at all. By manually adding this information, users may find the required documentation of the methods within the EDMdatabase
Note that the Express-x method signature is only for documentation purposes. When an Express-X mapping is invoked, there is no control that the input parameters are given according to one of the defined methods of the mapping schema.
It is possible to give input parameters to a map schema execution by selecting the "user parameters" options when the execution is started by the command Data>Convert Models. Within the Express-X mapping schema number of input parameters is read by the Express-X function xpxGetNumberOfUserParameters() and the parameter values may be obtained by the Express-X function xpxGetUserParameter (….).
