MDG generation sleeping?

[kepNCI]

Just being curious. I have a custom MDG technology that includes a profile with quite a few node stereotypes, several toolboxes, several diagrams, rtf templates and some included images. When generating the MDG (using an MTS file) sometimes it proceeds thru each step of the MDG wizard quite fast, completing the generation within 15 seconds or so, but more often than not, it seems to go to sleep toward the last couple steps, like before the image selection or at the end. If I wait, it will complete, but sometime it will be several minutes.

Anyone else experience this? Have any idea what could be causing such a difference in generation time of the same MDG?

Never experienced that. Maybe some of your resources are on a network and that will slow it down (I've seen resolving network addresses being quite slow under some circumstances).

I am using a local eap file as well as local files for my generated xml profile files. Any image icons used on my stereotypes are also local files, so I cannot think of any network-based resources, yet I would agree the symptoms would seem to indicate that EA is waiting (sometimes a long time) for something.  Thing that bugs me the most is that it is not consistent.

You should probably contact Sparx support with that issue.
