Modelling attribute replication between systems
« on: June 27, 2013, 07:49:43 am »
Hi all,
        I want to create what is basically a visual map of user attribute replication between systems.

So for example I want to show a person's surname in Active Directory which has the LDAP attribute name of sn replicates into lastname in Cisco Call Manager.

So far I haven't found a way to associate attributes between classes or any other object that works well visually.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Draw an association between two classes.

Right-click near one end of the association,
Choose "Link to Element Feature"
Choose an attribute to link to.

Do the same thing for the other end of the association.

Is that what you meant?
