| 1. | Locate the SENSORIA Browser view and check that the following plug-ins have been installed. |
Modeller -> MSC -> LTSA MSC
Modeller -> UML -> LTSA UML XMI
| 2. | Select the LTSA UML XMI plug-in and execute the mscXMLFromUMLInteraction service method, using a valid UML2 XMI document containing the UML Interaction. |
| 3. | If successful, an XML document will be placed on the Sensoria Blackboard. If the method is not successful, an error message will be placed on the Sensoria Blackboard. |
| 4. | Select the LTSA MSC plug-in and execute the openMSCEditorWithMSC service method, using a successful result of the LTSA UML XMI service method in 3. |
| 5. | If successful, the LTSA MSC Editor will be opened displaying a trace from the XML document generated in 3. If the method is not successful, an error message will be placed on the Sensoria Blackboard. |
