Extending Requirements with Change History

[Michel777]

Hi,

we are going to track changes on the requirements, we need a new type "change" with properties:

date
made by  (text)
Status (the status of requirement - copied manually from the request)
comment (text)

The change can occours 0....* times.

Ho to define the tagged value ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Michel

Hi,

have a look at:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/demos/webinar/webinar-20130130-extending-ea.html
It makes an example with the in release 10 new wizards regarding stereotypes.


In the community there is also a great contribution regarding stereotypes and tagged values. I think it was from Thomas Kilian (not sure about that).

Best regards,

Helmut

I also recommend to watch the presentation (if you're on 10.0). And as noted by Helmut I once published two tutorials: http://community.sparxsystems.com/tutorials/extensibility/intro-creating-mdg-file and http://community.sparxsystems.com/resources/mdg-technologies/improved-mdg-creation
There's also a nice tutorial here: http://www.tigerteam.dk/category/uml/

Hi,

it is not the question, how to define a tagged value, but how to define an Array of tagged value.

Thanks a lot in advance,

This is not really supported. You can have a tagged value appear more than once and you can see them when turning on the option "Show duplicate tags" (AFAIR remember it's somewhere in the general options or in the tagged values options). There is a minimal support for multi value but it tastes strange to me. Also you can have RefGUIDs for multi-value tags.

Hi,

there is a workaround: using Requirement/Related/Files attributes as follows:

File: YYYYMMDD <source>
Notes: The description of change

e.g.

File: 20130801 Michel777
Notes: He got a good idea for history

Question: would it be possible extend Requirement/Related/ with History ? E.g. to clone Files and adjust ist ? Have I access on metadata of Requirement/Related ?

Thanks,

Michel

Have a look into t_objectfiles. (I should document that table in my Inside book.)
