Enterprise Architect for SharePoint
« on: June 13, 2012, 12:04:09 am »
Has anyone used EA to create uml models for a SharePoint Portal, and if you did, what was the mapping that you used between SharePoint components (Site, List, Page, WebPart, List ContentType etc) and uml (Class, Component, etc)
Thanks

I'd be interested in this also.

Are you modelling a sharepoint installation or using sharepoint as a version control repository for EA?  There was a discussion on using sharepoint as a version control repository a while back and I think the consensus was that it is hard to use EA with Sharepoint except as a repository for documents generated from EA or files containing exported baselines

I would also be interested in knowning whether it is possible to use sharepoint with EA for things like issue/risk management & reporting e.g. can we connect and run queries on the EA database and then present the information in sharepoint?   Could then use sharepoint reporting capabilities for management dashboards showing how metrics for the architecture info in EA.

It is pretty straight forward to write an extract from EA to a spreadsheet using VBA once you get to grips with the automation interface.  Geert made a template available on the community site for importing requirements which I used as the basis for exporting from EA to a spreadsheet.  Once you have the data in the spreadsheet you can then put it into Sharepoint.  I presume VBA to extract to Word would be much the same.
