Search for changed elements
« on: September 01, 2015, 07:28:40 pm »
Hi

I was wondering if EA provides the functionality to search for changes made by a specific user.

Scenario:
As a BA, i will make many changes to different elements [BPM, Use Case, etc]. Once my changes are done, I have to do a handover to the architect. The problem i have is to convey ALL the changes i made. Currently i have a excel spreadsheet which i update that identifies the changes i make. But the problem is that if i forget to update the spreadsheet, then i will not convey the full extent of the change to the architect. Hence i was wondering if i could filter/search for only changes made by me, or if i could tag all my changes and search for the tag.

Have a look into the Auditing feature. That will log who did what and you can evaluate this log according to your requirements.

Thanks for the reply.
The Auditing feature is not enabled in my environment.

Without you will not be able. You can alternatively write some triggers natively in the database (if it's not EAP files).

The sticking point here is your requirement for changes by a specific user. As qwerty says, that's the only way EA tracks changes by user. The other alternative is using package baselines, which then offer a compare function. If there are multiple people changing one package you won't be able to see what each has changed though.
