However, the ReferenceTypeis not restricted to point to Methods. The referenced Methods can, but do not have to point to a Method of the StateMachineType. For example, it is allowed to point to a server-wide restart Method leading the state machine to go into its initial state.
The SourceNodeof this ReferenceTypeshall be an Object of the ObjectType TransitionTypeor one of its subtypes. The TargetNodecan be of any NodeClass.
