Database changes required for EA16/PCS5?
« on: November 09, 2021, 01:02:10 am »
Hi,

I have been reading up on the new 'Native File Format' and how it's round-tripping and merge features differ from XMI (A 'must read' for those who use XMI)
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/model_publishing/native_xml_file.html

When i came across this caveat:
Quote
If you are connected to a SQL Server repository, you require ALTER permission on the t_image table in Enterprise Architect, to be able to import model images
Is this permission new for EA16/PCS 5? if so, i have not seen any new database schemas or schema patches.

I have noticed issues with adding image assets from the clipboard in EA16, could this be related?

The alter permission was required for the "old" schema.
If you use the newest schema, this is no longer required. This new schema is not compatible with EA versions before 15 or 14.

If you look in the SQL update script downloads on the sparx site you can find the update scripts to upgrade your schema to the latest version.
