No UUID for sequence messages?
« on: September 20, 2012, 05:54:04 am »
I need to export a list of sequence messages to RTF so a team can see them in table to make notes for their purposes.  There does not seem to be any way to uniquely refer to a message once it's been created.

Right now I am exporting the message, "from" and "to" elements, and the sequence number, but I continually need to make updates to the diagrams which makes the numbering change each time.

If there way to include the UUID for the messages themselves in an report?  I don't see that option/attribute in the report designer.

Lee,

A message definitely has a unique id, it even has two.
Messages are stored in the t_connector table, and each message has a numeric ID in the columns Connector_ID, and a GUID in the column ea_guid.

I just don't know anything about the RTF reports (and I want to keep it that way ;D) so I wouldn't know how to include that info into your RTF report.

If you just need a list of messages you could write an SQL search and copy the results into a csv file, or you could write a little addin/script to export the data, or you could query the database directly using an sql client.
