Sequence number in UML 1.4 sequence diagrams

[Robin Lebert]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to access the sequence number of message links in UML
1.4 sequence diagrams via OCL (with getPropertyExt(...)) in a documentation
template, but I don't know how to do it. The problem is, that I don't know
the name of the property (maybe "sequenceNumber"?, "$sequenceNumber"?,
"sequence_number"?, ...). It seems also, that the sequence number won't be
stored in the XML files located in the model folder of the project. But if I
select a message link in a sequence diagram, the property "sequence number"
is displayed in the properties inspector. So, the information is available.
But how can I access it in a documentation template? Thanks for your help.

Best regards, Robin.

For the sequence number, there is unfortunately no way to get it in report
currently. In Tg 2006, sequence number is a calculated property of message
link reference (i.e. the message link itself doesn't have this property; it
is calculated for each message reference via its positions, order, etc.).
Unfortunately there is no way to get this property via EMF API, and thus to
get its value in gendoc/ocl. We have a feature request to get it accessible
via API - #31091
