Duplicating a Method
In order to keep the components of the method delivered as standard with HOPEX Suite for TOGAF the HOPEX platform offers features that can be used to duplicate a method by creating variants of it.
When duplicating a method it is best to do so from the library containing the method in question to avoid access right problems.
You must have the Studio or the HOPEX Administration - Supervisor module to be able to duplicate a library.Once duplicated the method and all the related items (phases, sub-methods, deliverables) are linked to the original source via a traceability link. This link is used to ensure that the new method is based on the TOGAF 9 ADM method and this new method will be proposed during the creation of new projects from the TOGAF 9 navigation window (see "Creating Work Packages with TOGAF 9 ADM", page 32).
To duplicate a method:
1. Open the MetaStudio navigation window (View > Navigation Windows > MetaStudio).
2. Expand the System Library folder and the MEGA library.
3. Right-click the TOGAF 9 library and in the pop-up menu that appears select Duplicate.
The duplication dialog box appears.
4. Enter the Name of the duplicate library and click Ok.
5. When the duplication process is complete, expand the duplicate library and rename its TOGAF 9 ADM method.
Both TOGAF 9 ADM methods are now displayed and accessible in the TOGAF 9 navigation window.
