New RTF generator hangs on large document

[colinc]

I am trying to use the new documentation generator on my project.

It runs for a usually around an hour then hangs at ,usually the same, Use Case. The project consists purely of Use Cases with scenarios, requirements, busines process models and a small amount of component information. The only diagram types are analysis diagrams.

I have found it works if I generate for a smaller number of packages but then I loose the table of contents.

The document produced is relatatively long; about 400 pages of use cases/scenarios.

Is anyone having similar issues, or more importantly worked out anyway around it ?

Thanks,Colin

This a bug in the generator...

i'm producing 900 page reports and have this every day. You have to restart EA before generating such a big report...
The first generation works fine, a second try hangs and after aborting the second try, EA crashes on the 3rd try...

Oh, and dont create the report from a database...
Backup your files to a .EAP file first... This speeds up the entire generation process alot. (at least for me)

Well done to the Sparx team; with 768 it takes about 15 minutes and works perfectly!
