what is the correct "serves" relation between Technology service and Node elements in Archimate 3.0.1?

Regarding metamodel (http://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/archimate3-doc/chap10.html) Service serves to Node (Service -> Node).

But Sparx Enterprise Architect does not allow this direction (it allows only the opposite one Service <- Node). Is it bug of Enterprise Architect, or the metamodel is wrong?

Thanks, David

  • Not so firm with Archimate, but I guess you're talking about the quick linker. They only make suggestions. You can use a relation from the toolbox instead and draw it as needed. Eventually send a bug report. – qwerty_so Apr 24 '18 at 10:45
  • Unfortunately link from toolbox does not work. I will try official support, thanks! – David Šára Apr 30 '18 at 06:54
  • What happens when you use the toolbox instead? – qwerty_so Apr 30 '18 at 08:10

Maybe it a bug in Sparx. When tested with Visual Paradigm (certified tool by ArchiMate 3) it do allow to create Serving relation from Technology Service to Node. enter image description here
