Getting only visilbe attributes

[Erwin_Ahlers]

Hello,
I'm using the automation interface to get several data from an open EA model. By this I got already a diagram and all the objects and links. When I'm now in a class diagram it would be nice to get a list of all the attributes which are shown in the diagram. With teh "Feature visibility" tool I can select which attributes I want to have displayed. But is there a way to get this information also via the automation interface?

Thanks in advance
Erwin

Erwin,

It is definitely possible to get this information, but you might need to use Repository.SQLQuery(sqlString) to get it if it is not exposed by the API's objects.

Hi Geert,
do you have an idea how to get this information? SQL might not be the problem. I even looked around already in the table structure but couldn't find the "visibility" information.

If you're still interested in how this works, there are 2 post dealing with this topic on the european blog:

Part2: http://blog.sparxsystems.eu/2011/06/how-ea-manages-the-visibility-of-diagram-objects-2v2/

Conclusio: it might be a little tricky, to handle this with SQL alone.
