General Board / Stereotype, tagged values, and Integer types

« Last post by Martin Merkel on April 18, 2018, 11:45:48 pm »

Hi,
in the help on Add an Enumeration to a Stereotype there is a description on how to define an enumerated tagged value, and later use this in an UML profile. Is there as similar possibility to restrict a stereotype attribute to a certain Integer value range, for example from 0 to 127?
Thanks, Martin

Bugs and Issues / Re: Automatic EA database schema "upgrades" / "downgrades"

« Last post by mtamme on April 18, 2018, 11:19:13 pm »

Hi Geert,

we just recognized the issue since we check the 'Version' property before we execute some SQL scripts via the EA Automation Interface. With this check we just want to ensure compatibility with the current EA database schema. Since we only checked for version 4.01, which is (what we experienced) the default for EA 9.3 till 13.5 we had a problem when suddenly version 7.0 appeared in the usys-system table. But after a while version 7.0 disappeared and version 4.01 was back again.

We didn't experience any problems right now, except that our compatibility check failed. My main question is, if there are some other changes going on inside the database during these "upgrades" / "downgrades" which we are not aware of or is there generally another way to check compatibility with the EA database schema?

Thanks,
Martin

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: MDG: How to influence the order of stereotypes in the output MDG file

« Last post by Geert Bellekens on April 18, 2018, 10:42:36 pm »

Where would that oder be important? I guess in the toolbox? If so (IIRC) EA does not offer an ordering from the MDG export (since IIRC I tried that once and could not figure it out).

q.

In the toolbox you define the order yourself. (attribute order)
I don't see where the order in the MDG file would be relevant either.

But maybe it uses the project browser order when generating the profile xml file from a package?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Generating several toolbox profiles from one EA file with shared stereotypes.

« Last post by Geert Bellekens on April 18, 2018, 10:38:21 pm »

To be clear,

You have

- A regular UML profile with "real" stereotypes
- Multiple toolbox definitions that use some of these stereotypes.

That is perfectly fine and won't be a problem. You can even use standard UML elements or stereotypes from other MDG's in your toolbox.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Generating several toolbox profiles from one EA file with shared stereotypes.

« Last post by r2 on April 18, 2018, 09:57:21 pm »

Hello all,

I have a profile file containing several toolbox profiles (each with an own diagram). The toolboxes share identical stereotypes and they will be used in the same model. When applying the toolbox elements in the actual model, do I encounter any issues in the long run? (since I have applied identical elements from different toolboxes in the same model)

Thanks

Bugs and Issues / Re: Description doesn't follow when convey an information flow

You will somehow have to navigate to the actual activity to see the description.

The EA Navigator could help with that.

Martin,

Can you also explain how/why this is a problem for you?

Bugs and Issues / Automatic EA database schema "upgrades" / "downgrades"

« Last post by mtamme on April 18, 2018, 09:36:54 pm »

Hi!

We have around 30 EA installations which are connected to a shared PostgreSQL EA repository. Occasionally we experience some kind of database schema "upgrades" / "downgrades" when the "Version" property in the usys_system table changes from 4.01 to 7.0 or the other way around.

My questions are now as follows:

1) What's the reason for these version changes?
2) Why is only the version changed and not the "VersionDate" too?
2) How can this be fixed?
3) Are there also other changes happening in the database which we are not aware of?

Thanks,
Martin

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Code Generation create separate files

« Last post by Tschana on April 18, 2018, 09:11:11 pm »

Set the filename for multiple classes to the same thing, then do a package generation.

Hello all,

I'm currently trying to do this within the tab "Files" of the property window of some classes. I set the File Path to C:\...\test.h for three different classes. If I run the package generation and select "Auto Generate Files" the specified file path C:\...\test.h doesn't exist in the viewed list. The three classes get generated in three different files like Enable.h, Disable.h and GetMeasurements.h etc. (see https://imgur.com/a/NQ10tPs) Am I doing something wrong?

Furthermore is it possible to set the filepath and filename etc with code (or also with transform) templates? I did only find the commands like

Code: [Select]

%filePath%
Thanks in advance

Bugs and Issues / IIS Configuration

« Last post by Matthew.Seaborn on April 18, 2018, 09:05:04 pm »

I have successfully installed a working Pro Cloud Server (v13.5) but am having problems integrating it into IIS (v10) on Windows Server 2016 as defined in http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.5/model_repository/cloud_server_iis.html

When attempting to conjure it using the HTTP Module approach, when I select the "Configure Native Modules" there is no Register button presented, just a checkboxes list "UriCacheModile, FileCacheModule, TokenCacheModule, RequestMonitorModule"

If I attempt to configure ISAPI Module, the IsapiModule is not available in the Module dropdown, and I get the error "'IsapiModule' is not a recognised native module. Specify at least one enabled native module"

How do I register a the ISAPI native module?

Thanks.
