Fork/Join
« on: December 06, 2007, 06:00:13 am »
Hi,
I just started with transferring data from ARIS to EA. Thus I encounter a complete new set of EAUI features. The first one: Fork and Join do not appear in the browser (I thought I've seen them in the past). But now they are just visible on a diagram. Actually they are *real* elements with properties. So they should be visible. When you delete them from the diagram with DEL you leave an orphan behind. When you use CTRL-G it highlight *some* element in the browser. So what's this? EAUI? Or a candidate for a bug report? I guess the latter one (will send a bug report now).

It is certainly a bug. If nothing else - and I do agree with the rest - the whole business of highlighting some other element in the browser is an issue.

Hopefully the problem is simply an issue with inclusion in the browser tree, not something else like 'demotion' to non-element status.

Elements in the browser are named.  Forks & Joins are not nameable.  Perhaps this is a factor?

No. Type a name in the Properties window of the fork/join. It appears also in the diagram.

Using EA 817.

I just placed three activity elements and one fork/join element on an activity diagram.  I have not drawn any relation lines to it.  When I double click on the fork/join, no Properties window appears.  If I draw a relation to it and then double click the fork/join, I get a properties window for the relation (to which I can assign a name), but not for the fork/join!!??  How do I get to the fork/join's property window?

It's the docked properties window.

You know, Jim... The EAUI "back door"...

It would seem that the name gets tangled up with the joinspec.   ???  Is the back door hitting me in the back? ::)

Well, EAUI. I'm pretty sure that I've seen fork/join in the browser in the past. Makes sense as they are elements with properties (obviously). Just that now the dbl-click does not work. It's simply a bug, bug, bug - however you turn it.
