Author Topic: Reporting Object flow link names (Read 5090 times)

bluebird · « **on:** April 07, 2005, 02:21:02 am »

I would appreciate some advice on how to report out the Object Flow Link Names from an activity diagram into a text file. Is this possible? I have tried the Rich Text Format options with little joy.
If not, is there an alternative way that Object Flow Information can be input such that it can be displayed on an activity diagram and reported out in a text and/or excell format?
Thanks
Bluebird

What do you mean by "little joy"? Since the report will print all information you likely mean the format? There is not much chance in changing that output. You would likely have to go through the automation interface in order to get some tabular output. (You could also start searching EA's database tables :-/)

Forgive - I'm new to this product. I cannot report out the Object Flow link name. This doesn't mean it can't be done. It just means that I cant do it which is why I posted my plea for advice.

In the RTF Report Generation form there is an option Relations (in "For each Object Include"). Select this and you'll see all information about flows.

I had already tried this but thanks for looking at this. At least I am reassured that I was not doing something illogical. The method you outlined only describes the flow in terms of its source and target. No Properties (such as Link Name or Notes for example) are reported on.

You have to checkmark Details. That will also show name and notes (at least it showed these values here). Btw. I'm using 748.

Sorry to be a pain but I have tried checkmarking 'detailed connectors' - I hope hat is what you are referring to. I am using version 4.51.750 by the way. All I can achieve is the following...

Connector

ControlFlow
source > target

Source

Consent Update success?

Target

Consent Update Success Response

Notes

Etc....

No Link Name displayed though :-(

Despite the fact that my report printed everything, I advise you to have a look at the table t_connector. Here you'll find everything you need and you can it work out in Excel.

Result! Thanks the t_connector data link from Excel solution did the trick. Many thanks for your patience
