Author Topic: Information Items Conveyed - topic revisited, sorry... (Read 16621 times)

Hi Geert - not sure what I'm doing wrong, but am struggling to repeat with my own data. I've installed the toolpack, and created some conveyed items, but can't get the navigator to display as per your example (in either direction). Probably user error..

I'm maxed out today (and you're always busy I guess!) - would it be possible to grab you for 5 mins in London tomorrow if you're available? I'll be at the User Group from 12 onwards (Client stuff in the morning).

Many thanks!

Sure, I'll be there all day.

Aha,

I found out why it didn't work for you.

Apparently there are two ways to convey information.

Either you create a regular connector, right click on it and choose Advanced|Information Flows Realized where the dialog will allow you to select the classifiers to be conveyed.
Or you create an InformationFlow directly link the elements to convey using Advanced|Information Items Conveyed

At first I only implemented the first (indirect) way, but now I've also implemented the second (direct) way.

See Bellekens EA Toolpack v 1.0.18.0

As a bonus you also get navigation options for Association Classes.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Regards

Geert

Got confirmation from John that it works, so this version is now available via the regular channel

It certainly does!! Many thanks again Geert.

Hi Geert

I am using the navigator in anger now - it's great for navigating from a conveyed item to the actual information flow that is doing the conveying.

One small problem I have is that when I view the connector in the navigator I can only see one "end" of it; the end that is the "Owner". I don't suppose there is any way of seeing what element is at the other end of the connector?

Many thanks

John

Hi John,

I suppose that is indeed an option.
I've created an issue on your behalf: https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Toolpack/issues/39
Currently I'm in over my head with other developments, but as soon as I get a gap I'll look at this.
