V14 - Archimate3: Cannot link BusinessEvent with BusinessProcess with Triger rel

[Eve]

If a repair corrected the behavior in 14, that may be enough to get 15 working. Windows installer can be a little weird at times. If it thought your existing ArchiMate technology was newer it may not have replaced it until you did the repair. That could mean that both EA 14 and 15 were using an old broken technology file.

The Windows Installer repair tool is now a wizard on a web page.  If you can find it you should be able to flush out the cache installers and may be fix your problem.

Approximately the same issue: a brand new install on Windows 10 of EA V 14.1 (14.1.1427), using Archimate 3, I cannot create a Realization relationship from a business process ---> business service. However, the other way round is possible. When I do the other way round, I reverse the direction. That action is allowed!

Archimate 3 is broken in v14. Update to v15.2 or use ArchiMate 2

Ok Geert, thanks. Time to update my subscription, with EA 16 coming soon.

Update: I tried EA 15.2, and it does work, but first I need to change the stereotypes from the ArchiMate2::ArchiMate_BusinessService to the ArchiMate3::ArchiMate_BusinessService etc. I'm glad it works now.

There is a script included in the MDG to upgrade from ArchiMate2 to ArchiMate3

A quick workaround is to issues like that is to disable strict connector syntax in the options dialog in the link properties.
