Another potential request...

[PhilBoyd]

As if I haven't already thrown enough your way

Would it be possible to have logging added - showing changes to the project - ie dependency added, requirement deleted, etc?  Or have I just missed how to do this?

Hi Phil,

This is a fairly 'big request' unfortunately ... so much is being written and modified all the time in EA, the log file would be huge ... not to mention the diffulty in handling import of whole model chunks using XMI.

I think this would also need to be combined with a user level security feature - other wise the record is not really useful. User level security is coming ... later in the year I hope.

I think the XMI handling is the biggest hurdle .. as a whole package 'branch' can be deleted and recreated in one go ... logging the activity would be difficult.

Ill add this as a feature request and hopefully somthing simple will come to mind,

Thanks for the reply.  Since the packages can be exported into XMI and stored in source-control, probably just need to a diff between the two versions, and some XSLT to clean it up.

Hmmmm.....

I use EA with CVS, I dont have to export the model, just doubleclick on the .eap in the sandbox and it opens, CVS knows its dirty, when I have finished a set of edits then I commit them to the CVS repository.

Geoff, what about a utility that logs the difference between two projects, ie save a copy of the eap file, then modify it, and then have a utility that reads both .eap files and outputs a description of the differences between the two., ie list of changed objects.
