Creating an Association between Two Classes

You can create an association between two classes. An association is a relationship between two classes.

Procedure

  1. Click the Association tool on the Palette.
  2. Drag from one Class to the other. This creates a bi-directional Association. You can change the direction of the Association by selecting from the Navigability drop-down list in the Properties view. You can also change the Source or Destination of the Association in the Properties view.
    Note: A bi-directional Association shows both the Source and Destination on the business object model. A uni-directional Association shows only the Destination.

    You can also set the Multiplicity of each end of the Association by selecting from the Source Role Multiplicity and Target Role Multiplicity drop-down lists in the Properties view.

  3. In the Properties View for each Association, click the Stereotypes tab to apply any stereotypes you want to apply. See Applying Stereotypes to Business Objects for more information.
