Uml Process / Re: How to model logical structure alongside physical ones?

« on: July 20, 2016, 04:16:04 pm »

For the logical structure typically I use the same relationship kinds as for the physical stuff.

For relations between logical and physical items I use typically  “Dependeny”, “Trace”, “Realize” or “Allocate”.

From SysML Spec.:
“15 Allocations - Defines a basic allocation relationship that can be used to allocate a set of model elements to another, such as allocating behavior to structure or allocating logical to physical components.”

In the tool box "Documentation" you find the Item „Matrix Specification“. This is a stereotyped artifact allowing you to define a matrix on a Project Browser visible element.

I assume it is a kind of test result of the generating script.

Hello Darren,
There is not a tool as you have in mind in EA (AFAIK).

The question is what makes the tool assuming that something is the same.
We did something in this direction to find out if our package template is used in a project.
However I do not belief that there is a generic solution on that stuff.

General Board / Re: baseline fail

« on: July 14, 2016, 11:40:22 pm »

For sure you can have more baselines in a database.
The problem with baselines is more the compare of stuff with baselines, what is not really useful.

I had a similar problem some weeks ago. I my case I got an error message, what made me belief that due to the error it was not possible to create the baseline, but at the end the baseline was created.
The root cause of the error message was a wrong SQL query I put in a modelview element.

So, maybe check (if not already done) if the baseline was created or not.
Further on, it might be a good idea to set up a test environment to try to create baselines of simple content, to find out if it is PostgreSQL or a model content problem.

Hi Daniel,
Sparx run tree test systems, you can connect read only.
Information about the connection you find here:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/cloud-trial.html

With my personal PC I got the impression that it might be suitable to use EA via WAN, but with my business PC currently it is not.
We are still in investigation. One problem seem to be our virus scanner. When using the cloud connection each request response is first stored in a file deeply analyzed by our scanner.
I am not sure if this is the only problem we have, but we will see.

Uml Process / Re: link association between 2 components and a XML/ XSD

« on: July 13, 2016, 02:09:10 am »

Hello Bebert,
I am not sure if I understand your problem.

Reverse engineering of xsd leads typically the several classes (as far as I remember/not done for years). And I am quite sure that one of those classes represents somehow the xsd root.

Connecting two components you typically do by adding “Expose Interfaces” (required, provided) interfaces.
These expose interfaces you can classify with an Interface but your “Interface” is a class in the model (reverse engineering).
So you need somehow a UML Interface and bring it in relation to your “interface class”.
You Interface (UML element) would have maybe just a name but no details,  the details are in the reverse engineered classes.

Bugs and Issues / Using Enums in Structured Tagged Value types does not work

« on: July 12, 2016, 08:32:09 pm »

I defined a structured tagged values as shown here:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/building_models/add_structured_tagged_value_cl.html

Instead of using a string I used an enum for each tag in the structure.

However the enum is treated as a string (The user cannot select the items of the enum).

In EA documentation is written that the tag must be simple (whatever simple is).
I assume not working enums is a bug.
(I used V12 .0.2015)
