TOGAF 9 MDG

[ThemeCFJ]

I am deploying SPARX EA Ultimate Edition 10.0.1009 at a client.

Following this documentation (http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/mdg/tech/togaf/index.html) for the using the TOGAF 9 MDG Technology is however inconsitent with the application.

The instructions contains the following steps:
1. Create a new Enterprise Architect project file, and click on the top-level package.
2. Select the Add-Ins | TOGAF | Insert New Framework Model menu option.
3. In the Name field, type a name for the model.
4. Click on the OK button.

The process however fails at step 2, as there is no Add-Ins menu option.

Can someone please shed some light?

That documentation is part of the TOGAF add-in. Since that was released EA has renamed the Add-ins menu as extensions.

I thought that might be the case. The gotcha is that I cannot find any reference to TOGAF under any of the menu options in the entire application.

The only place TOGAF leaves a footprint is by virtue of an installation directory C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\MDG Technology\TOGAF-9.

I'm guessing the registry entry is missing (because it was installed as administrator and put the appropriate key into HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the administrator instead of your user.)

Try running as admin if possible and see if it loads then.

We do not have access to those accounts. Is there a way to export and import the registry settings?

To make the TOGAF add-in visible for your own user account, insert the following key into HKCU and restart EA:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\TOGAF]
@="TOGAF.Main"

To make the TOGAF add-in load for any user on the machine, insert one of the following into HKLM instead.

For 32-bit Windows Operating systems:
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\TOGAF]
@="TOGAF.Main"

For 64-bit Windows Operating Systems:
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\TOGAF]
@="TOGAF.Main"
