Sharepoint Integration

[agdunn]

I am at an organization that is using sharepoint server to keep track of almost all the information about the many systems in place. Using EA I have modeled many of systems and their individual processes, but I would like to also hotlink the entities in EA to the entities in sharepoint so that users can navigate to information that is concurrent.

Has anyone approached a similar endeavor?

I know that there were a few discussion here around that. Bruno (not here for a long time) Cossi's company (hosting the EA User Group) have both EA and Sharepoint expertise. Maybe they can be of help?

I think for the first iteration of this project I am going to attempt the easy way out and just hotlink the entities in EA to their respective pages in Solutions Inventory.

Is there a way to make it so that when a user clicks on the activity entity in EA it will open a new window to a link?

Write an Add-In that implements the EA_OnContextItemDoubleClicked event.  Using this you could detect whenever a user double-clicks on an Activity (by default opening the properties dialog) and instead define your own action in response to the event.
