FAQ

What's the difference between a manifestation and a use?

A manifestation () references a model element that is to be included in the model component.

A use () shows that a model component depends on another model component.

Which elements can be manifested?

Only high-level packages can be manifested (in other words, packages situated directly under the model root). The model root cannot be manifested.

How can I include a note type specific to an MDAC in a model component?

If the MDAC in question has been designed to make it possible to export note types and tagged value types, then you can simply select the MDAC when packaging your model component. Any specific note types associated with the MDAC will then be externalized.

For further information on designing MDACs, please refer to the Objecteering MDA Modeler User Guide.

Can I modify model elements deployed by a model component?

Model elements deployed in a project by a model component are in read only mode, and cannot therefore be modified. They can, however, be used by other elements.
