SPARX on different channels

[davidson]

Hi
Does anyone know if there are any alternatives to publishing SPARX repositories other than the HTML reporting?

This is very temperamental for us (Java script enablement limitations etc. etc) and is flooded with technical distractions in the default, not the kind of information we would want to expose business stakeholders too, which after all is the point of Enterprise Architecture.

I'm not sure it Sparx has got to that level yet of customizing the published output of if it can work with Mobile devices etc?

Anyone know?

Thanks
Chris

You can use EALite for publishing. This gives a very "native" access to an EA model. If you design the diagram navigation in a good way this behaves almost like a browser with the possibility to show much more details.

Great thanks I'll give it a try.

From what I thought though, this is a client app? We want something to access when on the move within the organisation.
It gets a but monotonous having to keep saying "Let me go back to my desk to check".

I have use few other products and they provide this facility, just wondering if EA did yet, I'm been using 9.n for the last year or so and not sure of all the new features).

Does anyone know if there are any issues with the Generate HTML function?
For almost a year now in different organisations, on different desktops I get a successfully exported, with an explanation mark,
but every time I try it run it in either a Chrome, IE or Edge browser, it tells me all the files were not properly exported.

Thanks

I have read a recent thread where others also report such an issue. You might try a forum search (button top left near Home).

v13 has a publish to Joomla option.  Not entirely sure what a Joomla is, but it's there in case you have a Joomla.

JOOMLA is an open source web content management system life Drupal etc. Interesting that you would force architects down a path of introducing diverse technology to use a tool that helps then architect ;-)

Thanks for the details and the links guys, I shall search some more.

Hi,

It want give you a mobile ready view, but you can customize/simplify the look and feel of the generated html by configuring the templates that Sparx uses to generate the html, see:
