class operations trace to which uml element

[MV]

Hi ,

I am currently trying to figure out relationship for operations of a class however I dont UML approach for the same.

So, to which models/elements these opeartions should be linked to and if EA proivides facility to link operations using relationship matrix.

I'm sorry, I really don't understand your question.

Sorry for not being clear in my question.

So I have a class ( say class1). This class defines some operations ( say Op1 , Op2 etc). Each operation may have its own sequence diagram as well.

I need to setup relationship of these operations to other model elements. For example op1 to XsdSchema elements or Op1 to a information type item. I would like to know how to do this and what is UML's say about mapping operations ( op1(), op2()....) to other UML elements.

thanks for your replay mate.

In EA you can use "link to element feature" to link operations to other elements.

I'm not sure if that is correct UML in all cases however.

The "Link to Element Feature" is valid for presentation (diagram) propouses only.

There isn't real traceability between the source element and the target feature. The target is always the element that contains the feature.

Then, you can't see the relation with the feature in the relationships window, relationship matrix... it is only visible in the diagrams.
