Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / [Own UML profile] Add tags based on value of other tag?

« on: July 10, 2017, 06:21:13 pm »

Hello,
is it anyhow possible let EA create/remove tags based on the value of another tag?

Example:
I created an stereotype <<Signal>> (based on metaclass Interface).
A <<Signal>> will always have the tag "Conversion", which is an enum with "Analog" and "Linear" as selectable values.
I would no like to do EA the following magic:
 - If I select "Linear" two additional tags shall be added.
 - If I select "Analog": the two new tags should disappear, if existing.

Any idea how this can be realized?
Maybe UML profiles and stereotypes are the wrong way to do this. I appreciate any other idea.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Connecting Locked Elements - is there a away using v13?

We have some similar "problem" with our approach of designing/modelling the software in our company.
We additionally have our packages under version control that also prevents adding relationships in other diagrams.

Our solution:
We are not using the originals elements (e.g. classes) in diagrams outside the original package, but we are using instances or properties of the elements.
Thus the original elements remain unchanged but the instances are related somehow via any kind of thinkable relationships.

The keystore service logfiles only show if licenses have been checke-out, -in etc.
They do not show which models have been opened, closed etc.
So this is not a solution for Phil  .

The "Accept Windows Authentication" option was not set.

We never intentionally used any "Active Directory linking".
Out company has AD server(s) but we did not officially connect EA with AD.

How can I find out if an user account is linked with our AD server?

General Board / Login to EA models - in some model Yes in some not

« on: December 14, 2016, 08:45:20 pm »

Hello,
we have

• all models on a PostgreSQL server
• all models configured with "Enable Security" and "Require User Lock to Edit"
• every developer has its own "account" (user) configured in the models

Now we discover that on some models all users always get a login dialog ("Login to EA Repository" with UserID and Password) is shown, when opening the model.
After providing UserID and password and checking "Remember UserID" the models opens.
When reopening the model, after it has been closed, the dialog is shown again, with User Id already filled out.

On most other models this dialog does not appear.
As stated above: all models are configured identical.

Any idea what might cause some models always to ask for login but not in other models?

General Board / Re: Tagged values on a package

« on: December 14, 2016, 08:29:16 pm »

You could create a specialized UML profile with a new stereotyped package containing the tags.
We did this as we want to use packages with stereotypes like <<Functionality>> or <<Component>>. Along with the stereotypes we have tags like "ASIL" where we can select an enum value (QM, ASIL-A, ASIL-B, ASIL-C, ASIL-D, undefined). You see that I am working in automotive industry .

Not sure if this is the best starting point: http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.0/model_domains/umlprofiles.html.

I wrote a parser for the logfiles of the keystore service myself.
It uses the Qt library.
The output is a *.csv file that can then be used in Excel for any imaginable evaluation.

Unfortunately we cannot attach files to forum posts.
It is just one *.cpp file. I would have shared with you .

Bugs and Issues / Re: Enterprise Architect 13 cannot display tooltips

« on: November 09, 2016, 01:08:06 am »

Oh my god  .
Did Sparx really remove tooltips in favor of text in the status bar?
I also was wondering where the tooltips are, since I installed EA 13. Good thing I mostly know the icons.
Nevertheless, this is crazy. Tooltips are standard nowadays.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Get All Latest that never completed

« on: November 03, 2016, 11:14:33 pm »

... but also prohibits wrong use of get all latest.

Use EA security and create a "Developer" user group that does not have the right to invoke "Get all latest...".
All users except "key users" (e.g. dedicated admins or SW architects) should be part of that group.

« on: November 02, 2016, 06:13:01 pm »

I don't know if the unfinished "Get all latest" can be cancelled "globally" for the model.

What I do know: A user trying to checkout a package and getting  the message "Get all latest in progress. Continue anyway?" (or something like that) can simply continue.
The checkout will be performed without problems.
This is not a real solution, but it ensures that working can be continued.

I assigned the following privileges now:

• Insert (= write = W?)
• Select (= read = R?)
• Update (= U?)
• Delete (= D?)

As far as I can see, I can work without any problems now.
I assume my mapping of "R/W/U/D" to the privilege names of PostgreSQL is OK. Can anyone confirm this, or was I just lucky .

General Board / EA with repositories on PostgreSQL

« on: October 14, 2016, 11:40:42 pm »

Hello,
we are having all our EA models on a PostgreSQL server.
The server is configured to have a login role named "ea_user" that has superuser rights as role privileges.
EA uses "ea_user" and its configured password to login into the database(s).

I feel a little bit uncomfortable for a long time with the superuser rights to "ea_user".
What kind of access rights or privileges does a login role need as minimum for being able to do all possible tasks when EA connects to the database using that login role?

If reasonable possible I would like to cut the number of access rights of "ea_user" to the minimum.
