Title: V11 RC1
Post by: William McKenzie on March 30, 2014, 01:36:37 am

When will there be some documentation on using code generation with state machines? There seems to be major changes in how state machine code generation works, but the help system still has zero documentation on this feature. Only the legacy stuff is documented.

Hi Bill,

You probably found EA's updated Help topic already... anyway if you search the EA 11 Help now for "State Machine" the first topic is about Code Generation. I believe that's a new Help page/topic in EA 11. It mentions the Executable State Machine Artifact which is also new in EA 11 - and I think it's one of those "major changes" to state machine code generation you're talking about. The updated code templates form a fairly significant change as well...

Sparx previewed this feature recently in a webinar about the EA 11 release. There's an excerpt of the demo here, which shows you the new state machine code gen in action:

I think there will be another 'deep dive' kind of webinar on this topic in the coming months as well.

I hope it helps.

Hi,

is there a chance to get the *.eap file to easily reproduce the webinar?

Thanks in advance,

Helmut

Hi Helmut,

Yes, we'll make the EAP file available. It should become available in a week or two along with some other models that we used in the webinar.

Regarding future webinars, in addition to the web page Nizam suggested, we send an invitation to those subscribed to our newsletter. (There's also a sign-up form for this on that same web page as well.)

Hi Helmut,

It's later than planned, but you should be able to grab that state machine model from:
