Virtualize connector end with Components and its ports

[Shounbourgh]

Hi,

as the title says, i want to virtualize a component with some of its ports. Two ports of two different components are connected by an association. Because there are components with lots of ports, i want to virtualize a component with a subset of its containing ports, but it seems EA does not support this. Is there a work around or best-practice?

Kind regards, Erik

Hi Erik,

My best practice is to stay away from these weird virtualized connectors.
If you really need them then you are probably doing something not entirely by the book.

Often the use of instances can be a replacement.

See my recent posts on virutalising connectors.

They are NOT EVEN behaving as specified in the help.  But anyway, in my view, it's just a bad specification.  I'm not the only person who misinterpreted the intent of this feature.
