Object transferred between two processes




(This post is a question. It's created here with the purpose of being able to link to it from certain web discussions. But, of course, if you happen to know the answer, you are very welcome to present the answer here)

Object transferred between two processes


I have a top level view showing the object transferred between the two top level processes as shown here:


And I also have detail views for the internals of those processes showing which internal activies sends/receives the object - as shown below for the process that sends the object to the other process (physically drives the object and leaves it at the place where the other process picks it up.


Now the question is: Do I have to create the data association at both levels - or is there a way that EA recognizes the lower level data association and is able to show it automatically at the higher level?
