Hi to everybody,
I am using UML Patterns functionality in EA to automate the creation of certain component diagrams. The "Save as UML Pattern..." feature asks me, for each object / node in the diagram, the instance action (Create, Merge, Instance). It also lets me specify a default value (Default).
What I'm looking for is that when I later instance the pattern, certain objects/nodes do not ask me for the instance action (Create or Merge or Instance). I would like that a merge is automatically made using the default value I indicated at the time of the creation of the pattern.
I cannot make it work.
According to the EA documentation, the merge or instance action, in combination with the default value, should be used to accomplish what I'm looking for, but I don't have luck: when instancing the pattern, the EA always asked information for all the objects/nodes.
Clarification: I'm not using the EA API. I'm working with the EA application directly (version 8.0.856).
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advanced for any help,
Diego
