Title: Team Explorer workitems in Enterprise Architecht
Post by: Lynette on January 25, 2007, 05:35:58 am

I have Enterprise Architecht (EA) version 6.5 installed on my machine. I'm trying to get version control to work - with work items from Team Explorer  
I've managed to get EA standard version control working with Team Foundation Server - if the option work items are disabled.

Sparx claims that with MDG Integration Visual Studio 2005 Full support for team Foundation Server, with access to work items from both EA and Visual Studio is possible.

I want to know whether or not it is possible to connect a package in EA to a TFS work item, before the package is checked in or out (from within Enteprise Architecht). And if it is possible, how do I do this.

Good question. The 6.5 release notes say:

Enterprise Architect 6.5 integrates seamlessly into Microsoft’s popular IDE with the MDG Integration add-in for Visual Studio 2005. This latest version extends EA’s position is the premier, team-based modeling environment for the .NET developer  

Key advances include:  

• Support for create, update and link Team Explorer Work Items to model elements within both the Enterprise Architect and Visual Studio environments

But no where in the documentation I can find how to do this. Nor have I found it myself. I can use TFS for version control, but as soon as I make a checkin policy to link changes to a work item, EA gives an error about this but no option to create this link.

Any pointers on how to realise this in EA would be appreciated.
