Ignoring Imported Relationships

You can ignore the imported relationships of a stereotype. This makes sense if, for example, you want to remove constraints in the profiles of MID in your extension profiles.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled before a stereotype's relationship can be ignored:

  • The importing profile is locked
  • In this profile, the imported relationship that you want to ignore is selected

Context

Ignored relationships act as if they had not been defined.

You can call the Edit>Ignore menu command in the Relationships view.

How to proceed

  1. Lock the profile which the relationship should be ignored for.

  2. In the profile tree, select the stereotype with the imported relationship you want to ignore.

  3. Select the imported relationship that you want to ignore in the assignment compartment.

    The  Edit>Ignore command becomes active.

  4. Select the Edit>Ignore menu command.

    The relationship's icon is replaced by the  Ignore icon.

    The relationship behaves as if it had not been defined.
