Define foreign keys in EA?
« on: October 07, 2002, 01:20:22 pm »
I'm having difficulties creating foreign key relationships within a Logical View, Data Model diagram.  All of my tables user the <<table>> stereotype, and I attempted to create a FK by following the instructions in the help file. I opened the "operations" dialog for the table and added a new "FK_[name]" operation. However, there seems to be no way to get the "Parameters" tab to be displayed.  Without this tab, I'm unable to define the FK relationship. How do I get this tab to be displayed? The help file also indicates that double-clicking the operation name should do the trick, but this has no effect.

I'm using EA 3.10.504 on Windows XP.

I think the Help file documentation is a little out of date.  If the class has has a <<table>> stereotype, you will not see a Parameters tab for the operations (indexes).  You will instead see a Columns tab.  You must first select an operation/index to allow adding parameters/attributes/columns.

Hope this helps.
