Irregular crashes of EA 15.1

[wzr]

Hello,

we are working with EA 15.1.1526 on a MS SQL Server DB.
About 30 People are working in different parts of the same model. Security is enabled to avoid concurrent work on the same elements.

We experience erratic crashes of EA in a form that EA simply shutdown without any information. After restart the model opens normally but the last touched diagrams may show up in an undesired condition.
It seems like some actions leads to an accumulation of this crashes but its hard to find a common cause.

Is there any way to look into the origin of this behavior or find out how to avoid it?

Thank you!

Best regards

Not really. MDGs and sripts might be suspicious. Run a project integrity check (regularly!). The diagram is not saved until explicitely told. So that's no surprise they are messed up.

Have you checked the schema version of sql server is right for v15.1

Thanks for your replies.

In fact the most direct correlation of the crashes occure with an element defined in our MDG Technology.
Its an extension of the metaclass "Action" of Kind "CallOperation".
The definition of the stereotype is quite easy:

Code: [Select]

<Stereotype name="ExampleName" notes="">
<AppliesTo>
<Apply type="Action">
<Property name="context" value=""/>
<Property name="effect" value=""/>
<Property name="kind" value="CallOperation"/>
</Apply>
</AppliesTo>
</Stereotype>

Is there anything wrong with that?

I'm not the one who is setting up the SQL-Server. So, to be honest, I've no idea
Can you help me concretize the question for our IT? What is the right schema?
We are working on this setup for several years already without any major problems. Is it possible that the wrong schema only affects in some situations (maybe with a quite new stereotype in our MDG Tech)?
Thank you!

Only if your MDG has some scripting/add-in that might be the cause. The definition is harmless.

Tell your DBA to look at https://sparxsystems.com/resources/repositories/index.html

We dont use scripting/add-in in our MDG.
We do use some workflow skripts in our main model to control version and status handling, but actually this is independent from the element type.

We observed a higher number of crashes when dragging the CallAction from our Toolbox to diagrams. Is this giving any hints to the problem?

Thank you.

I think you should report it as a bug to Sparx.

Chances are small someone here will have encountered the same problem, and found a solution for it.
