Creating a report using multiple packages

[MV]

EA/7.5

Hi All,

I need to generate a report for a package. This report needs some data from other packages. These other packages stay at either same or higher levle of brach within EA. Is there a way to fetch some data from other packges ( Not Child of currently selected package)?

Can you clarify what "other data" you want from the 'external' packages? Elements perhaps?

Thanks for your reply.

Use cases are linked to business rules (requirement type elements) and individual activity step in activity diagrams. The business rule and activity diagram package are outside use case package.

for generating use case documentation i need a table of cross reference where i want to show all business rules and all activity steps related to use case.

I thought you might get by with the Report Elements From External Packages topic in the Help, but my colleague made the following comment:

'VIN seems to be referencing the Linkage from the Use Cases  to other Elements in the model.

The usual scenario with this is to use the Element::Connector table as per the (basic template). They can modify this to suit their need.'

Do either of these thoughts help you?
