Document generator misses content randomly

[Karan Mundhra]

Hi All,

I have a MYSQL server on which Enterprise architect model is hosted.
Users connect to it using an ODBC connection and do the modelling. They also generate documents using the same connection.

Of late, have noticed that the document generated from EA is not consistent. It randomly misses section.
The issue happens randomly. The frequency of occurrence has increased in the recent time.
The document generator is triggered using an add-in with EA operated in headless mode.

I use EA 13.1. The machine generating the document and the machine hosting the MYSQL are on the same LAN.


Any clues?

Thanks
Karan

If you say "random" does that mean that it can skip a section when you run it now, but this same section could be included if you run it a second time?
Of is it always missing that same section, but you can't find a reason why it does that?

If it's the first one (i.e. you do the exact same thing with the exact same model, but the result is different) then you probably have a bug somewhere in the add-in code.

If it's the second one, it probably means there's a difference in your model that makes some sections not appear.
Without seeing the templates, and the model, I can't say anything about possible reasons for this.
Could be different stereotype, different name, different tagged values, etc.... whatever is used in your templates, or the add-in logic to determine which parts need to be included, and which parts not.

@Geert: Thanks!, I will investigate the add-in.
