Descriptors and inherited objects
If the global option concerning variations is activated (Activate variations options in Options > Business Process and Architecture Modeling) you can take account of inheritance.
For more details on inheritance and object variations, see the
HOPEX Common Features book "Handling Repository Objects", "Object Variations".
When inheritance is taken into account repository paths specified in descriptors (via queries or MetaAssociationEnds) also include inherited objects.
You can define to take account of inheritance:
• globally at descriptor level
• specifically at the level of a given path
To take account of inheritance:
1. Right-click the descriptor, and select Properties.
2. In the Characteristics tab, select the Take account of inherited objects check box.
Inheritance is now taken into account in the descriptor, except if you specify a different behavior on certain elements of the structure.
