t_diagramlinks.Hidden Inconsistency
« on: May 28, 2010, 02:22:13 pm »
If you hide a line using the GUI EA writes a "1" in t_diagramlinks.Hidden!  If you use the Automation interface, EA writes "-1"

Sparxians - this is Systems Development 101!

See also: Inconsistencies in Repository technologies  for details of other, related, inconsistencies.

I did some further testing and found that for an .EAP file the Automation Interface writes a NULL for False but for SQL Server it writes 0 (since the SQL Server column definition is NOT NULL – unlike the MS Access definition).
