I guess it is not possible to convert system issues to element issues...  :-/

Suggestions and Requests / Printing project issues

« on: December 06, 2004, 02:55:57 am »

The RTF file generated from Project Issues contains all issues, even if the Status Filter is put on. I would like to have an RTF file that has only the filtered issues. Of course it would be nice to have other filters based on Developer and the Date of issue (or solution).

Suggestions and Requests / Acronyms

« on: September 21, 2004, 03:33:49 am »

I would really like to be able to produce an "Acronyms" section from the Glossary. Now I do a trick like using the "Technical" type for acronyms and "Business" type for the actual glossary items in the RTF files that I produce. In many of the documents I create from EA, I have to have the two sections separately.

Suggestions and Requests / Visual Indication of locked elements

« on: August 10, 2004, 04:13:55 pm »

When a package of element is locked, with security enabled, there is no visual indication that it is locked, apart from the fact that for example, the OK button will be disabled when you open the dialog for the package or element, thus disabling any edits. It would be nice to see which elements are locked and which are editable.

Suggestions and Requests / Locking newly created packages

« on: August 10, 2004, 04:16:00 pm »

When we create a new package, view or root node, the newly created element is not locked, so we have to explicitly apply lock to the element.

I think it should be locked by default, since if I create a new element, I will probably do something with it (and not leave an empty package floating around, for example)

Suggestions and Requests / Matrix Profiles

« on: September 16, 2003, 02:27:11 pm »

I would like to have RTF or HTML generation for Matrix Profiles as well. I think Matrix Profiles are one of the most important tools we can use when modelling with EA. Currently we can only save them as comma-separated text files.

General Board / Re: Allow custom RTF tags in reports

« on: October 05, 2006, 01:22:12 am »

When you produce an RTF document, it has no formatting, since the property pages for all objects are plain text. You can, however, embed RTF tags (\b to start bold, \b0 to end it, etc.) This option allows these tags to be interpreted and the formatting applied, rather than printing them as is.

General Board / Re: MDG Link for Visual Studio

« on: October 05, 2006, 01:20:11 am »

There is also the added confusion of two similarly named products, namely MDG Link for Visual Studio (which claims to be Version 2.5 but is 2.3) and Visual Studio Integration for ENterprise Architect (which claims to be Version 2.0 and is indeed Version 2.0)

General Board / MDG Link for Visual Studio

I tried to find the link to this new 2.5 Release, but the downloaded file shows Version 2.3 on it.

General Board / Re: Floating licence?

« on: October 12, 2005, 03:37:48 am »

I have used this approach with some laptops. There is an option which disables automatic releasing of licenses when you quit the application. Then the laptop will have the license checked out for the length of the expiry duration the system administrator has set. Once the laptop is back and is connected again to the server, you can activate automated release of keys. Works pretty good.

General Board / Re: What is coming up in EA 5.0?

« on: April 25, 2005, 04:07:39 pm »

The feature I'm looking for is the WYSIWYG editor. I use EA to produce a lot of documentation to be used for peer reviews. (Yeah, we still use those instead of a Web-based documentation, since it's easier to find time to review documents for instance when you're travelling)

General Board / TestDirector / WinRunner interface

« on: April 28, 2004, 05:08:11 pm »

Has any one used EA in combination with TestDirector / WinRunner? I am especially interested in a way to transfer the requirements documented with EA to TestDirector (save for re-typing them in)

General Board / Re: Subactivities

Yes, Kevin has described it the way I encountered the problem. I really need to look at the UML 2.0 definition to understand the limits a bit better.

General Board / Re: Subactivities

« on: December 14, 2004, 02:29:30 pm »

The following is a simpler description of my problem:

I am using EA to build a Business Process Model. My process descriptions consist of Activity diagrams where I show the activities that make up the process and the flow between them. Since activities can be "re-used" in other process descriptions - they are commonly used - if I use flow links between the activities, these appear in all such diagrams that these activities take place in. However, the flows between these activities can be different in different process diagrams. To solve this problem, I used an instance of an activity (which is now an Action, for some reason). I want to show that different instances of a standard activity can show different relations (e.g. flow) when they are parts of different processes. (Did I say I was going to give a "simple explanation? )
