What does the Specialize->Tools->System Integration feature do?

[timoc]

Hi,

I have been looking for the way to synchronize external data with elements.

I have been looking at the "Specialize Ribbon-> System Integration->Open External Data... " which seems to be the feature, but i cannot find any documentation:
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/user_interface/using_the_tools_panel_2.html

Any pointers appreciated.

I think that's a cloud server feature.

According to the docs: "This facility is integrated with the Professional, Corporate, Unified and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect".

After some investigation, the documentation is in the SparxCloud installer and can be extracted with 7zip. It seems to be related to the cloud/pro server features. I am trying to set up one to investigate more.

Yes, the function you refer requires Pro Cloud Server. See:
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/model_repository/integrate_external_provider_data.html

Depending on the kind of external data source you are trying to connect with, you might also take a look at the new Data Miner functionality in EA 15.

Some Data Miner examples for importing from Excel and JSON data sources are included in the EAExample model with EA 15.

Visualizing and Automating model to model transformation, this is almost all of what i am looking for

I have moved questions about this to another thread.
