Archimate - Realization Relationship EA 14

[vladap]

Hi Guys,

I am straggling little bit with Realization Relationship. In my model I am describing Application Layer and then I refer to technology layer for more technical detail.
By the definition:

Realization Relationship "Links logical entity with a more concrete entity that realizes it." .

I also check some examples and I thought I understand it but, when I tried to model it works for me in Archi and it doesn´t work for me in EA.
What I want to show here is : One App Component send data via Interface to Other Component. And this connection is realized on technology Layer with more details like what Node sends data to Another Node via certain Network.

Am I doing something incorrect in Archimate notation, or is this a bug in EA SW.





thanks for your help,
Vladimír

The connection is allow by Archimate 3, but version 14 had some issues getting the rules for ArchiMate relations correct.

These have been mostly solved in version 15. I just tried on version 15.0.1513 and there it works just fine.

If you are not able to upgrade quickly you might want to consider unchecking "strict connector syntax" in the options.
