Dotted Line in Service Flow Diagram

[waikeat_chan]

I know what dotted line means in SmartScape Topology there, but what does it mean in service flow diagram?

If it is because of asynchronous, then how do interpret it in the service flow?

Every example from the documentation I've seen where this is a dotted line in the service flow the asynchronous invocation tag has also been present so yes I would interpret it as indicating an asynchronous call.

Yes it means that it is an asynchronous call.

Hello.

Do you have any code example in dotnet or java for this asynchronous call use case in service flow. To be more clear, does this dashed lines in service flow represent a async/wait pattern in dotnet reference in this article?
