Hidden properties for Stereotypes
« on: August 07, 2014, 12:46:39 am »
Hi,
Is it possible to add some type of "hidden property" to stereotypes defined in a profile and used in an mdg technology? e.g. something like a version number for example.

It's important that the user of the resulting stereotype cannot modify it and that it can be read using the automation interface.

Any ideas?

There's actually nothing offered for that purpose and it has been discussed here formerly. Some came up with mis-using t_xref which should be kind-of save if you don't cross EA's lines directly. Others suggested to add use own tables to the DB which would be a bit safer but would corrupt functions like Project Transfer.

I guess in both cases an XML save/restore would not work.
