Time ObservationWhen you insert a time observation, it specifies the activation time of a selected message, at a current message point. Time ConstraintWhen you insert a time constraint, it specifies the maximum and/or the minimum time value of the activation of a current message point from a different time observation. Duration ObservationWhen you insert a duration observation, it specifies the duration time of a message. It can be used to specify the maximum and minimum time values. Duration ConstraintWhen you insert a duration constraint, it specifies the maximum and/or minimum duration time between two messages or between two message points of the same actor. Notes:
Self MessageWhen you create a self message, it creates a recursive call or a message to the internal component of an actor that is not displayed in a selected sequence diagram. |
