Update Realize Dependency
« on: March 19, 2009, 11:15:53 pm »
Hello everybody,

is there a possibility to update an existing realize dependency without deleting the old one and set it again?

Thanks in advance

I don't see why not. What exactly are you doing? What is going wrong?
No, you can't have it!

Hello midnight,

I´ve created a realize dependency between an interface and one component element. The interface realizes the component. Now  I´ve added a new function to the interface but the realized component element won´t be updatet automatically.

Do I have to set any properties?

I think I see what you mean. You're not talking about updating the realization link itself. You want to know if, when you change the element on one end of the link, EA will automatically update the element on the 'other' end.

See the reply below.
AFAIK the answer is no, not automatically.

[At least it was last time I paid attention to this subject. Perhaps it has (finally) changed. If so, I'd welcome a correction.]


I believe you might be able to (manually) force EA to update (an individual case), but I do not know either the process or the limitations. I do know that this has been posted to the forum a few times. You could search for it. Be persistent, and try several keyword combinations. I don't remember seeing anything on this subject for quite some time, so be prepared to go back a ways.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Select the realising element and type ctrl-shift-O
That will call the implementation dialog that lets you select the operations you wish to implement.
