Create DHTrace operation

This DataHub operation mode does not copy data. It only creates a DHTrace link from a source to a target. When the source has any changes, the DHTrace link becomes Suspect.

To create DHTrace

1. From the Operation drop-down list in DataHub Explorer, select Create DHTrace.
   
   
   
   
2. Drag any nodes from DataHub Explorer to the MagicDraw Containment tree. 
   
   
   
   The Create DHTrace Summary dialog opens.
   
   
   
   

3. Make some changes to any nodes on either of the source or target side, e.g., editing a node properties or deleting a node.

4. Right-click the changed node on either of the source or target side and select Check Changes > Check DHTrace Changes or Check DHTrace Changes Recursively. The DHTrace Summary dialog opens and shows the Suspect status of the traced link.
   
   

   
   
   
   

To clear the Suspect status of a Suspect DHTrace link, do one of the following

• 
  
  • In the DHTrace Summary dialog, select the Suspect DHTrace check box and click OK.
  • In the MagicDraw Containment tree, right-click a Suspect DHTrace link  and click Update DHLinks > Clear Suspect DHTraces or Clear Suspect DHTraces Recursively.
