Identifying Custom Stereotypes

[skiwi]

Its it possible to determine (e.g. from UMLTypes > Stereotypes) which are 'custom stereotypes' and which are default (OOTB) stereotypes?


thanks in advance

Anything in that dialogue is *wild* and you would use it only for testing (shapescipt) purpose. It should be banned elsewise but that will never come. Real stereotypes are from profiles. And that connection is only recognizable via t_xref (the weirdest place possible).

There are some that come standard Out of the box I think. You can know by creating a new empty model.

Would you mind to tell what you understand with standard?

The out of the box stereotypes are in the base models found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA. i.e. EABase.eap, eapx, feap files.
You can simply create a new one as Geert suggests then look at the list via configure tab>UML Types to see the standard stereotypes.
You can do a simple query on table "Select * from t_stereotypes" of that model DB to ID the "Standard OOTB" stereotypes and then create a table in your model of interest with those and import the standard list into your working model. Then do query to cross referencing the stand stereotypes with those in t_stereotypes to ID the custom stereotypes.

Easy peasy if you use an eapx file with MS Access or SQL Server with SQL Studio.

Noting that you could interpret OOTB to include the standard MDG's provided with Sparx EA located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA\MDGTechnologies and that would require a slightly more complex query with stereotypes.VisualType. Where VisualType has entries like "TechID=ArchiMate2;Profile=959A9A49-8;" on which you could do some kind of filter.

Hope that helps.
