Hi all

I've just tested the RTF reporting tool in the beta version and I have weird problem.
Some use cases are missing in the created RTF.

We use the master document/model document approach for the report generation. The project is stored as .eap file (using the jet database).
The used project was a productive .eap file  of version 8.0 Build 864.
  • All uses cases are shown in the project browser
  • It seems that the position in the project browser determines the uses cases that are not reported. Always the same positions are not reported.
  • I have changed the documentation option from order=tree order to order=name, this has no effect at all. The order in the RTF is still the tree order.
  • I have done an integrity check (and cleaned all occurred problems)
  • The HTML report contains all use cases – none is missing
  • I have checked if there are any filters in the documentation options (even if we never has used one) – no filter (neither in master nor in model document)
Any ideas for further investigation?? And has anybody else this problem or is it just me?

The EA 9 Beta release notes mention "Support for the SysML 1.2 specification".   Can anyone elaborate or provide any insight as to what this support might actually entail?  (I.E. What has changed since EA version 8's former support of the SysML 1.1 standard?)

Thanks,

Re: EA 9 Beta: Autosize columns
« Reply #32 on: March 25, 2011, 07:51:49 am »
The beta release notes mention
"Don't honor the Auto size for table columns when importing from a word document"

Shouldn't this be the other way around; EA should support autosize for table columns?!

Johnno, I don't know the answers.  But you can probably find the differences between sysml 1.1 and sysml 1.2, but it would mostly be a matter of checking the spec.  (I know, not an easy task)

Regarding the auto-size of columns, I believe the library we use for documents has never supported it.  The change it to make sure it doesn't do anything bad when they are found.

This has been the subject of a feature request,
hence my comment.

Re: EA 9 Beta:table paste into notes field.

Tables in notes were not supported in V8, and I don't think they are in V9, so what you are seeing is the same behavior as seen in V8.

I'm asking for the html to be stripped from the pasted text.

Note also that while the spell check dialogue does now allow unicode characters to be entered it strips the unicode values when replacing with them.

[edit][timestamp=1300141339]/me registered bug registered[/edit]

Still not fixed in 9 RC

In fact the dialogue box can't event display unicode. Help
(word should display as wh[ch257]nau)

That's Beta 3, yes?  Not some other release since?

I am very confused by this whole thread. I have posted many bug reports and enhancement suggestions using the online links for such things. It doesn't take effort to follow the correct process. So far all I see in this thread is useless spam.

I will however say to Sparx, unlike when I log a bug on Talend's website I have no way of keeping track of bugs or suggestions to know that anyone actually is taking it seriously or that an feature request will be included in a future patch etc. Unless of course I am missing something, it would be nice to have access to something like Mantis for tracking bugs/features and also would allow people to see what is already logged and not duplicate.   :-?

Eejay,
I do the very same (using another site for bug tracking). I had a couple of threads regarding bug tracking. No one seems to be interested. Only a minority of the users, none of the Sparxians. They seem to have an internal tracker (hence the reference numbers you get). But they will not give any insight. I gave up any hope...

Bah humbug. It's a pity because it does make you feel like you are of some value for all the $$$ you forked for EA. (yip, my company wouldn't buy a license so I had to pay out of my own pocket, sad indeed. but I'll get over it)

Actually, IMHO, this thread is far from useless spam.

It communicates issues with the product to other users, thus saving them reinvestigating (or re-reporting) the wheel.
It allows other user the opportunity to comment on issues, either expanding on the knowledge, providing a work around, or explaining the issue.
It informs other users about what bugs have been reported (apropos your comment about visibility into the Sparx problem tracker ([1] [2] [3])) and sometimes even what the response was.

You are correct that it doesn't take much effort to use the links to report issues.
It does take effort and time to report in a useful way that allows the issue to be recreated (don't get me started on the lack of "phone home" functionality), and to contribute to the forum.

I always reference these forums when reporting bugs or requesting features, because the discussion may inform Sparx, even after the request has been made.

PS Compliments on your contributions to the forums
PPS Posting to the forum is insufficient, issues and feature requests must be reported using the support links below
