Relationship Matrix & TOGAF MDG
« on: December 12, 2013, 05:59:05 pm »
Using SPARX EA 10.0 Ultimate Edition with the TOGAF MDG Technology plugin we have created a number of objects using the BusinessService and ServiceQuality stereotypes. The objects were placed on an Architecture Content Diagram where a number of AppliesTo associations were created between one of the ServiceQuality and BusinessService entities.

When generating a relationship matrix the correct lists of BusinessService vs. ServiceQuality elements are put into the matrix. However, selecting the Linkt Type as AppliesTo and the Direction as Both, no entries are put into the matrix intersections as anticipated.

Through experimentation I have found that the intersections in the grid shows the links if the Link Type is set to UseCase. Clearly this is incorrect as the link type is AppliesTo and the matrix generation therefore undermined as an accurate business intelligence proposition.

Can anyone shed any light on how to get the product configured to work correctly?
