unicode, and step by step...

[sparx77]

Hi!
1. I am new to EA. I have books on Rational Rose, which give step by step examples, ina tutorial form, very easy to master using the software. I could not find any book on EA, with such step by step exaples. where can I find one?

2. I could not use other natural languages, for instance, Russian, in use case Notes. After "applying" changes (in Russian), closing and openning the property window again, you recieve many "?" sign in place of alfabets. Is there any options, to set the programe code page to unicode?

thanks!

Select Tools | Options | General | 'Use JET 4.0 - requires restart'.

Previous versions of JET didn't support unicode.  If you are working on a repository you will need to ensure that the repository you are using supports unicode.

The default eap file format uses Jet 3.5 (which as Simon mentioned does not support Unicode).  You can either open your existing EAP file in MS Access and convert to Access 2000 format, or you can download a Jet 4.0 base model from our website to base your new models on.

If using the base model, unzip this somewhere useful, and create a new project by using the "Copy a Base Project" command on the Start Page, specifying the JET4 base model in the "Model Project" field.

Also as Simon mentioned, make sure to enable the "Use Jet 4.0" option in EA as well.

Visit the EA Wiki. You will find a sample project and a reference to Sparx site with an intro to EA here
