Constraint

Trial Use

May change in future releases. See Maturity Model.

Abstract Class — not instantiated directly; concrete subclasses inherit its attributes.

Sealed — Constraint has a closed, exhaustive set of concrete subclasses; every one is listed below. No other subclass is permitted, and a conforming instance must be exactly one of these types.

Computational Definition
