Looking for Pipe-Shape
« on: August 22, 2016, 05:31:51 pm »
Hallo,

I am very confused. I cannot find a pipe-shape (like a thin database-shape dropped to the ground) anymore within EA 12. Isn't there any anymore?

Does anybody now where to get Enterprise Integration Patterns-shapes from?

Many thanks in advance

I want do use the shape to show a MessageQueue. Like here http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/patterns/messaging/MessageChannel.html or here http://i.stack.imgur.com/KiaTu.gif. If there is a better symbol, please let me know.

I've not seen a pipe supplied in Sparx EA before. Usually have to custom  create one. I have seen the cylindrical database shape in the whiteboard MDG toolbox.

Integration patterns MDG can be obtained from me. Here is a link to the EAI MDG on one drive share where you can get it.

I won't leave it there forever so make sure you take a copy. To use just copy to a folder and point Sparx EA to it via the advance button on MDG dialog within Sparx EA

The other alternatives are
a) import the pipe image and use alternative image
b) create stereotype with shape script.

Happy to help
:)
