Title: Find attributes using primitive types
Post by: Rouven on June 08, 2011, 01:05:59 am

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding UML class modeling. We are currently working on a complex domain model and have introduced several primitives, enumerations and data types. Classes now define attributes that are of the respective types.
What I'm wondering is: how can I find out all the classes using a selected type? Is there a search feature I have not yet found? Is there a way to have the automation interface do it? Obviously I can search, but how would one present results? Search Script?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Rouven,

You can define your own searches in SQL in EA, so that what I use for such queries.
See my blog post about EA's SQL searches (http://geertbellekens.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/harvesting-the-power-of-eas-sql-searches/) and
Attribute search on community site (http://community.sparxsystems.com/resources/model-search/search-attributes-type)
