V1426 & 1425 "Information Flow" - where I Find?

[marku]

Hi
in EA1423 ( and older) I used "Information Flow" to connect Object (such like Application Component in Archimate)
But in 1426 & 1425 I can't find them ( In QuickLinker or even Toolbox)

Cold you tell me why?

Information Flow (UML) can be found in the Analysis toolbox.

It would make sense that it doesn't appear on Archimate elements as it is not part of the Archimate language.

But it was in QuickLinker - in old version  ( as type of connections between Archimate Applications).
And now in the all Model (all Repository) I have it.
Now - I must change old relations in repository, or add this type of relations to QuickLinker (It's difficult then chenage old relations)

There is a "Flow" relation in Archimate 2.0. Is that what you used? Or did you really use "Information Flow"?

Anyway, if you need to change the type of a lot of connectors you might want to write a little script to do it for you.

Yes, we have used "Information Flow" for many years (before my coming). We used "items Conveyed" to indicate certain things. It is a pity that they suddenly started to stick to such standards, at the same time not "facilitating" such a simple thing as building a list of the most used things in eg "Quick Linker" - Scripting is not easy to build

It's not a pity, it stops people complaining that ArchiMate isn't UML because that got boring after the 20th or 30th time we heard it. :-)
