Removing link between 2 locked element

[V.Wilmet]

Hi,

There is 2 elements (more precisely, 2 classes) in a package that is locked by a group called for example "Grp1". So diagrams and elements of this package are also lockes by the group.

I'm part of a second group called "Grp2" and I'm editing a diagram in a package lock by my group. I've dropped on my diagram the 2 elements and I can see the association between them.

There is then 2 strange behaviors :

1-  When I try to add an association or any kind of link between the 2 elements, I've got the message : "Both the Start and the End element are locked. You cannot create a link at this time."
But when I try to delete the association between the 2 elements, it works. This should not be possible !!!  :-/

2- When I try to link one of my element to one of the locked element (with dependency for exemple) it works. OK. but the reverse works also ??!!  :-/ :-/

Is there a problem with the management of group locking ?

I'm using EA 11.1.1112 and an Oracle repository.

Thanks for the answer.

Relations that [highlight]start[/highlight] from an element also [highlight]belong to[/highlight] this element. So you can add outgoing connectors as well as deleting them. Vice versa this is not possible unless it's also unlocked. Regarding the EA message: well, it's EA...

There are more inconsistencies like that with regards to locking, sometimes you can only add something but not delete it, sometimes you need to lock the diagram in order to delete it.

I've noticed that the version control locking in general is a bit more consistent and logical then the "security" locking.
