Moving Connectors Up

If you are using software components that are based on one another and you want to create connectors in the higher software component for the first time, you must bear in mind the higher hierarchical level of existing and new connectors from the lower software components in the higher software component.

Moving them up the hierarchy ensures the consistency of models because there cannot be any relations between connectors on different levels.

Until now you have created connectors based on models in the lower software components. No connectors have been created to date in the higher software components.

The software components are based on one another, therefore the models in the lower software component are automatically available in the higher software component.

As soon as you create a connector in the higher software component, all connectors that exist in the lower software component are moved to the higher software component. Once this has happened, they are no longer available in the lower software component.

After they have been moved up, you can no longer create connectors in the lower software component. You can do this only in the higher software component.
