I have a bunch of extensions defining extended objects and metadata for many existing objects in my metamodel. In my EA I have a model that includes an information base for objects that are reused all over the place - things like "networks" or 'servers", etc.
In order to make the creation of the Information Base a worthwhile exercise, I need to either include replicas or shortcuts in other models where I want to reuse these objects. Shortcuts are a bit of an issue as we are using Reports quite a bit and I am having issues getting at metadata when I use shortcuts. Replicas seem to be a better approach. Problem is that when I replicate, for objects where I have extended metadata that is an extended collection, the values do not show up in the replicate. Things that are defined as extended attributes make it over just fine it seems.
Am I missing something? Is there something I can do for this (making a copy works but that would seem to defeat the purpose of having a shareable Information Base)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
