Functional flows

This section provides a number of UML diagrams, which are included to aid understanding of the functional flows and implementation. The diagrams are not exhaustive, but should cover enough of the process flows to be useful. The general coverage of the diagrams is as follows:

• High Level Sequence Diagrams are included, which describe the good and bad paths for each use case. It is expected that these diagrams are useful to all customers.
• Low Level Sequence Diagrams are included, which describe the good paths. Some customers may find these useful. They are not essential for use,operation, or extension of the product.
• Simplified Object Lifecycle Diagrams are included. They are derived from the actual FSMs used to drive the use cases. These object lifecycle diagrams represent all currently supported paths. These diagrams should facilitate easier understanding of the FSMs. They are not essential for use,operation, or extension of the product.
