Activity Diagrams: Extraction of Activity Parameters and Transfered Data

[vrieg]

Hello all,
we have the following setup
- Transferred Data: created as Blocks with flow properties
- Activites with activity parameters typing the Transferred Data and direction
- Activity diagram with actions visualizing an object flow. All actions and action pins are created as instances from parent activites and placed into the activity diagram.

Is there a possibility to extract the Transfered Data of an action shown in the activity diagram via the activity parameters via EA Object model?

Yes, if it's in the model, you can get it out.

You'll have to figure out though how this all connects to each other in order to go upwards from the action pins to the Block that is transferred.

I usually resort to using SQL to get that kind of info. (Repository.SQLQuery) as this is much faster then iterating over the different EA.Elements and their collections.
