Sequence diagram mappings (Connector for IBM Rational Rose)
Each Sequence Diagram is created as a Sequence Diagram in Modeler. The name of the Sequence Diagram is derived from its Package and Name:
<package name>::<sequence diagram name>
The items on a Sequence Diagram are imported as follows.
Actor Instance
Typically, each Actor Instance is created as an Actor in Modeler; however, if two or more Actor instances have no instance names and are based on the same Underlying Class, a single Actor is created in the model and used multiple times on the Modeler Sequence Diagram.
The following instance properties are imported:

• The Multiple Instances and Persistence properties are not imported.
• If the underlying Class is not in the Packages selected for import, then the Class and its Package (only the Package item and not its content) are imported.
• If a Class instance does not have an underlying Class in Rose, Connector for IBM Rational Rose creates an underlying Class in Modeler. The underlying Class is created using a default name, such as Class14.
|
Message
Each Message is created as either an Operation Message or an Event Message in Modeler:
• If the Name of the Link Message matches an Operation name in the destination Class or its Superclass, an Operation Message is created in Modeler (unless it exists).
• If the Name of the Link Message does not match an Operation name in the destination Class or its Superclass, an Event Message and its underlying Event are created in Modeler (unless they exists).
• For each Message, creates a Sequence in Modeler. The Sequences are named 1, 2, 3 and so on.
The following properties of the Message are imported.
