BPSim Confusion EA version 14.1
« on: May 17, 2019, 04:39:58 am »
Hi All

I am using EA version 14.1 and am attempting to try the BPSim. I have had a look at the user guide library book Business Process Simulation where on page 4 it states

You can purchase and download the MDG BPSim Execution Engine from the 'Products' page of the Sparx Systems website (sparxsystems.com/products). As part of this process, you will receive a registration key by email, to enable you to use the system beyond a 14-day trial period.

I have searched the Sparx website and can find no such download.

The entire book refers to his extension.

In the ultimate edition of EA version 14.1 there is a BPSim, which appears to be the same as the for UML Activitiy diagrams etc, it is certainly not the same as the Business Process Simulation book, which is what I want to try out.

Does anyone know what the BPSim situation is? Is there an optional MDG BPsim Add-in for purchase or not? If there is such an Add-in, where do you get it from?

Thanks

Phil

Shouldn't the Sparxian sales persons know? Can't you reach them via mail?

Thanks for your replies

I have now got it sort of working.

It would help if the User Guide Library pdf agreed with EA version 14.1 rather than the "old" purchased add-in, but that is something that I will raise will Sparx directly.

Thanks again

Phil
