Creating the example toolbox
« on: October 16, 2012, 06:59:29 pm »
I am running into the following problem (EA 9.3.935):

I am using the example project EAExample.eap
1) In the package “Build a Technology” I select the “<<profile>> ecosystem Tollbox”
2) Using the context menu I “Save Package as UML Profile”
3) Using the menu Tools / Generate MDG Technologie File … I tried to generate a EcoSystemToolbox expecting to get two sections in the Toolbox (ecoSystemElements with two menu items and ecoSystemRelationships also with two menu items).
What I get is one menu section with two items representing the two stereotypes in the “ecosystem Toolbox” diagram.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your attention!

What you need to do is generate an MDG Technology: Tools > Generate MDG Technology. You will need to include the profile that defines the stereotypes "animal", "plant" etc under "Profiles" and include the toolbox profile under "Toolboxes". Then use Settings > MDG Technologies to deploy your technology. The help file should be able to fill in the details...

That’s exactly what I did, but it don’t work and I thought a example should be ready to use. Please try it?
Tanks!

^^^this is exactly what I would expect to see if you included your toolbox profile in the "Profiles" section of your MDG Technology instead of the "Toolboxes" section. It is also what I would expect to see if you imported your toolbox profile in the "UML Profiles" section of the Resources window (hence my first answer). In both cases, EA doesn't believe it has a toolbox profile so it generates its own.

If you can't get it to work, please send your MDG Technology .XML file and MDG Technology Selection .MTS file to Sparx support and somebody there will put you on the right track.
