UPDM Help
« on: March 18, 2020, 09:36:24 pm »
Hi All

I have been asked to take a look at the UPDM MDG for EA and I am currently using an Ultimate edition of EA version 15.1

I have been looking at the reference guide https://sparxsystems.com/resources/user-guides/15.1/model-domains/architecture-frameworks.pdf and have downloaded the UPDM MDG from the Sparx website and this has been installed,

I can create a model using the wizard and certainly get the MoDAF framework from the wizard, however, the document referenced above (dated January 2020) states on page 97 that there is a UPDM Extensions Menu, which I do not see at all and hence cannot access this functionality.

I do see other technologies such as ArcGIS, ArchiMate, ODM etc and all my MDGS (including UPDM) are checked.

Am I missing something? Why is the UPDM Extensions menu missing?

Thanks and all the best

Phil

In addition to the above in my first post the following also appears to be missing:

Glossary
Example Model

In the UPDM user guide it does state that the glossary needs to be imported into each model repository

You import the Glossary definitions into each model individually. To do this, select the 'Publish > Technologies > Import > Other Tools/Formats' ribbon option.

This leads to a dialog from where to navigate to an xml file (presumably containing the glossary entries), but where is this file?
Is this file installed when the MDG is installed (the user guide implies this, since it says a glossary is available), but again where is this file?

Any help would be most appreciated since II have to demo UPDM to client in a week's time and it would be great to demonstrate the complete features as stated in the user guide and not just the repository structure created by the model wizard.

These issues appear to also be in EA version 14.1, EA versions 15 and EA version 15.1

All the best

Phil
