General Board / EA Training required - specifically for Version Control

« on: October 24, 2016, 08:52:29 pm »

Hi All,

Me and my team (20 people approx.) are working on creation of conceptual data models using Enterprise Architect version 12. We are using the Version Control feature of EA through Subversion client so as to work parallely on the models. But while checking in, sometimes we find that some of the connectors are missing or some changes not getting reflected. Since we are not very clear on whether the setup we have done is correct or not and also to better understand the Version Control feature of EA, I was wondering if there are training of EA specifically focussed on Version Control setup and maintenance.

Can anyone please suggest such a training in Singapore?

Thank you.

General Board / TOGAF Implementation through Enterprise Architect

« on: September 16, 2014, 01:37:11 am »

Hi All,
If anyone has worked on implementation of TOGAF through the tool, please help me. My team is trying to implement TOGAF for a risk architecture. We have already developed the Business Architectrue, Application Architecture and Information (Data) Architecture. Just wanted some help about where can I find the details about the connectors used in TOGAF's ADM process(e.g.Which connector is specifically used for which specific Architecture). I have tried looking it up on internet but if someone can share some links, it would be of great help.

General Board / Query regarding EA Lite

« on: November 15, 2013, 02:03:02 am »

Hi all,

I have a query regarding the EA lite version. Do we have the option of applying filters in the EA Lite version because I saw on the sparx site that the Lite version allows 'File' menu options , Team Review and Relationship Matrix but nothing was mentioned about filters.

Actually I do not have the admin rights so even though its free I can't install it on the system.

General Board / Information Segments get displaced

« on: August 26, 2013, 08:12:10 pm »

Hi all,

We are working on a project wherein we have some 40-50 diagrams. In the diagrams we have connectors to which we have added information by right-clicking on the connector then selecting
Advanced-->'Information Items Conveyed' option.

We have moved this project to the Oracle database. Now when we try to reopen the file from database into EA these 'Information Items' appear to be displaced. They are not appearing on top of the connectors to which they are linked which is making it very difficult in understanding the diagrams. We tried to rearrange the items properly and again saved the diagrams but when we tried to open it from a different machine, again the items were displaced.

Is there any setting that we have changed by mistake or something else?? What can be done regarding this??

General Board / Diagram changes automatically

« on: July 18, 2013, 07:51:34 pm »

Hi all,

We are working on a project wherein we have some 40-50 diagrams. In the diagrams we have connectors to which we have added information by right-clicking on the connector then selecting
Advanced-->'Information Items Conveyed' option.

Each one of us has a replica which we upload to a sharepoint site. Finally we merge all files. The problem that we are facing from past 1 week is that somehow the position of the information placed over the connectors is getting misplaced when we upload the files and download at any other location. In the original file(i.e file where the information is added and placed over connector) the information appears to be perfectly placed.

We tried locking the diagram and then uploading but that also does not not work.
Is there any setting that we have changed by mistake or something else?? What can be done regarding this??

General Board / Shortcut Required

« on: June 20, 2013, 09:06:45 pm »

Hi All,

We are building upon a model wherin we require a combination of connectors i.e some are direct and the rest are Line Stlye-->Tree Style Horizontal. We have some 300-400 connectors per diagram and we have number of such diagrams to make. So we wanted to know if there is any shortcut for Line Style--> tree style horizontal also like we have a shortcut(Ctrl+Shift+D) for direct connections.

Sadly,the tool also does not have the option for selecting multiple connectors.

General Board / Recovering Design Master

« on: June 07, 2013, 07:09:11 pm »

Hi All,

There are multiple users working on replicas of EAP files and we merge it at the end of the day with Design Master. Recently, when we tried to move Design Master to Database, we got an error saying that ' Database is part of replica set'. Does this mean the design master is lost? What are the ways to retrive Desgin Master from replica. We have tried to retrive it thru MS Access, where there is an option to recover Design Master. But when the EAP file is opened thru MS Access, the recover Design Master option is greyed out. (Tools ->

Replication - > Create Design Master).

Any other option to retrive Design Master from existing copy ? or any other solution to our situation ..

Thanks,

Pramod

General Board / Realization Connector

« on: June 04, 2013, 07:40:40 pm »

Hi All,

I'd like to create a realization connector between two component elements or between elements component and class ... There seems to be no direct option to create the said connector for the mentioned elements types. What i do is, create a conenctor ( chosoe one b/w 'trace', 'information flow' and 'depedency' which are the only options available ) and then change the type to 'realization'.  Pl. let me know if there is any other way to create the 'realization' connector b/w element types - component and b/w component and class...

Thanks..

General Board / Regarding freezing of diagrams

« on: May 22, 2013, 04:51:56 am »

Hi all,
I have been working on EA for 1 month. I'm facing one problem. I have created various diagrams. In those diagrams I have created my own defined stereotype elements. Then I have established a connection(trace) between those elements. There are many such diagrams that have some common elements. So I have pasted them as 'link' rather than pasting as'new'. The problem is that when I make any changes to the current diagram i.e when I establish new links between elements in one diagram, if the same elements are used in other diagrams, a link will appear in those diagrams as well. I do not want to show this link. There is an option to hide this but there are over thousands of links to be created. Doing it one by one will take time.

Is there any way so that I can freeze the previously made diagrams so that these new links created might not appear in those??
(I hope I am clear with the question)

General Board / Adding multiple tagged values for an element

« on: May 15, 2013, 05:43:07 am »

Hi all,
I wanted to add multiple tagged values for a single element. There are many such elements so adding one tag for an element at a time is very tedious. Is there any way that I can add all the tags related to an element in one shot?

General Board / Regarding hiding multiple connectors at one go

« on: May 15, 2013, 05:37:37 am »

Hi all,
I have started working on EA v9.2 very recently. I wanted to hide most of the connectors from my diagram. Doing it individually is a very tedious job. I have tried using the diagram filters but they will hide any new connections also. Is there any way to hide multiple connectors at once on my will.
