Does IBM clearcase offer the SCC interface?

If so, just follow the instructions in the help. Clearcase should come up as a provider when setting up package control.

Ashley,

Here's what I use in C#. I'm sure you'll understand the idea

Code: [Select]

/// <summary>
        /// search the model using an sql query
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="SQLQuery">the query to be performed</param>
        /// <param name="searchTerm">the searchterm to be looked for</param>
        /// <returns>a list of EA wrappers matching the required criteria</returns>
        private List<object> SearchSQL(string SQLQuery,string searchTerm)
        {
            List<object> searchResults = new List<object>();
            // add the searchTerm in the query
            SQLQuery = SQLQuery.Replace("<Search Term>", searchTerm);
            string searchResult = wrappedModel.SQLQuery(SQLQuery);
            //parse string (xml format) to find out which objects are returned
            List<string> guids = XMLParser.getTagValues(searchResult, "CLASSGUID");
            List<string> types = XMLParser.getTagValues(searchResult, "CLASSTYPE");
            for (int i = 0; i < guids.Count; i++)
            {
                object objectToBeWrapped = null;
                if (types[i] == "Attribute")
                {
                    objectToBeWrapped = wrappedModel.GetAttributeByGuid(guids[i]);
                }
                else if (types[i] == "Connector")
                {
                    objectToBeWrapped = wrappedModel.GetConnectorByGuid(guids[i]);
                }
                else if (types[i] == "Operation")
                {
                    objectToBeWrapped = wrappedModel.GetMethodByGuid(guids[i]);
                }
                else if (types[i] == "Diagram")
                {
                    objectToBeWrapped = wrappedModel.GetDiagramByGuid(guids[i]);
                }
                else
                    //must be an element then
                {
                    objectToBeWrapped = wrappedModel.GetElementByGuid(guids[i]);
                }
                if (objectToBeWrapped != null)
                {
                    searchResults.Add(EAWrapperFactory.createEAWrapper(this, objectToBeWrapped));
                }
            }
            return searchResults;
        }

Ashley,

I don't know the answer, but what I do in such cases is:
- create a new (empty) model
- add only the things that I'm interested in
- Open the database and figure out how EA stored the information I'm after
- Then try to figure out whether (or not) the API exposes that particular piece of information.
- If it's not exposed by the API I use Repository.SQLQuery() to get that information.

By the way, package is a special case. Some of its properties are stored in the package.element object.
So for each package you will find a record in both t_package as t_object.
The are related by package_id in the pdata1 field.

Mario,

Often the related table is mentioned in the documentation of the API

The rest you'll have to work out by trial and error.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: How to query for an association class

« on: July 05, 2011, 07:37:57 pm »

Andy,

I just tested this on SQL Server 2008 and I got a result just fine :-/

My exact query was:

Code: [Select]

select * from t_object o
where o.pdata4 like '2143504841'

If you know the connector id then this:

Code: [Select]

select * from t_object o
where o.pdata4 like '<connector_ID>'
If you want to join the t_object with t_connector then you'll need some type casting magic to make it happen since pdata4 is a text field, and connector_ID is an integer field.
This code works on SQL Server (2008)

Code: [Select]

select * from t_object o
join t_connector c on cast (cast(o.pdata4 as nvarchar(max))as int) = c.connector_id
where o.name like 'AssociationClassName'

Rouven,

You cannot open the properties dialog of an element from within your add-in.
You can however show your own GUI to allow users to enter data.
I don't know which language you are using, but i'm sure there's plenty of GUI controls you can use that accept more then 255 characters.

I just searched all my old posts using the top left search button.
searchstring: package.elements

That returned (after a while) all posts about that specific issue.

I think that is a warning, and not an error, so it should have registered your dll anyway.

Hi,

I got it working.
I had set the default constructor for my control private, which prevented it to be registered in COM.
Making the default constructor public solved the issue.

I hope to be able to publish a working example myself in a couple of days.
