Service submachine state (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
A Service Submachine State is a proprietary element that decomposes a Service State Machine.
Creation
To create a Service Submachine State:
From a Service Sequential State or Service State Machine: right-click the element, point to New, point to MODAF, and then click Service Submachine State.
On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service State Machine element that is the submachine of the Service Submachine State.
From an SOV-4b Service State Model:
Click the Service Submachine State toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service State Machine element that is the submachine of the Service Submachine State.
From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Service State Machine element that you want to use as the submachine of the Service Submachine State, and then drag that Service State Machine to free space on the diagram.
