possibility to show multi-level dependencies ?

[pca]

If an EA model has element A that "realizes" element B, and element B that realizes element C, is it possible to somehow view / report that element A realizes element C, by transitivity ?

This is a very general question : any hints are welcome.

You can view the dependencies by

"View->Traceability"

thanks for the answer.  So, yes, you can navigate the relationships, and it's great.  Is it also possible to list ALL the elements that realize A, so that if the needs for A change, it is possibe to see what is impacted ?

That's what "traceability" do.

If you have more Realisations it shows more off them and also for each impacted element the other implementations or what implements it.

Very useful for test impact analysis or for change requests. You can allways find the impacted point and where you can mitigate and influence in the most effective way.

Thanks.  Another option is to design SQL join queries for "Model Search": it is then possible to get a list of matching elements.  But that's a bit more complex to set up.
