COMPONENTS
  1. Create
  2. Update Name
  3. Refine Category
  4. Refine Classifier
  5. Delete
  • Component Name Update for the root of the Instance tree is not supported. This is theoretically limited because the name of the .aaxl2 file containing the instance model is derived from the name of the root. Violations will be reverted. 
  • Component Category Update not supported. This is pragmatically limited due to high complexity of metamodel involving re-creation of all related subcomponent refinements, and component classifiers. Bypassed by deletion and re-creation of new component with changed category. Violations will be reverted. 
  • Component Classifier Update not supported. This is theoretically limited, because the contents of the Component may become invalid. Bypassed by deletion and re-creation of new component with changed classifier. Violations will be reverted.

  • Connection Name Update is not supported. This is theoretically limited because the connection name is generated from the names of the source and destination features. Cannot be bypassed. Violations will be reverted.
  • Connection Source and Destination Update may result in new intermediate ConnectionInstanceEnds not being de-instantiated to the highest level. This is to ensure that refinees of the connection have access to the ends.  
  • Direct updates to the ConnectionReferences are not recommended. Violations are not detected.
