To move an endpoint from a leading shadow to a trailing shadow

The trailing shadow is a visual representation of the architecture which is implemented with code.

Steps

1

If the trailing shadow application does not have a compatible endpoint, go to the application diagram. Copy the leading shadow application endpoint and paste it on the trailing shadow application.

2

In the system diagram, drag the trailing shadow application from the system view into the system diagram.

3

Select the proxy endpoint in the system diagram. Press alt and the left mouse button and move to the endpoint on the trailing shadow. The connection to the proxy endpoint should be redrawn from the proxy to the leading shadow to the proxy to the trailing shadow. Note: all connections in the other system diagrams that involve this connection should remain intact.

4

If all of the endpoints on the leading shadow application have been implemented and the leading shadow provides no more value, go to the application diagram and delete it.
