Use of objects cross model

[jvdongen17@gmail.com]

All,

Can we re-use objects in view over models?

Example:
If I have an logistic model, where the logistics Business Service is detailed modeled. I want to use the Business service in other models to avoid recreation and have a good impact analysis.

Hi Jurgen,

Natively, Archi concepts can be copied over from one model to another one but they become spearate objects. Updates done in one model are not seen in other models so this does not allow impact analysis.

That's the reason why I developped the "shared mode" in my database plugin (https://github.com/archi-contribs/database-plugin/tree/master/v2) that allows to share the same concepts in several models: all updates done in one model are seen in other models (of course, the plugin integrates a conflict resolution mecanism).

Hope this helps
Best regards
Hervé
