Copy and Link
« on: November 08, 2018, 12:49:18 am »
A variation on the copy/paste full-structure-for-duplication would be useful in that it would create a dependency between each original and copied element. If the dependency type could be user-specified that would great but I'd be happy with <<copy>> or <<trace>> as a default.

Hi Mark,
Have a look at Time Aware Modelling.  That's, effectively, what it does.

It's a bit tricky, but it works for some use-cases.

Hi Mark,

www.sparxsystems.eu/FAQ/ provides a script in the section "SOA service oriented architecture" for duplication of browser tree branches representing whole modules. Includes Baseline Generation, Name/Version change and <<derive>> connectors. Currently croos package connectors are kept in both directions.

Some of my clients use the schema composer + my addin EA Message Composer to create fully traced subset models.

See https://bellekens.com/ecdm-message-composer/ for more info
