Direct connections turns into Edges in reference Excel sheets


Forum|alt.badge.img+4

Hi. When creating a solution model upon an enterprise model where all connections are done as direct relations, my DMS excel sheet seems to turn all the connections with IsList=True into edges. I manually have to update the RefProperties sheet and add missing containers to RefContainers. Is this a bug?

In the example below, both of the connections displayed are direct relations in the enterprise model, but the DMS excel sheet shows hasGate as an edge:

Hi, this is the default behavior when you convert an information model to the implementation format DMS.

What I think is happening, is that you download your Enterprise model from DMS and convert it to the information model. This step looses implementation details, such as whether you implemented a connection as an edge or direct relation. Then, you convert back to DMS and the default conversion is done which always choses an edge.

I will come with a fix for you, and note that we are working on a feature to enable you to go back and fourth between different formats of the model without losing information.
