Title: Find diagrams with model Search
Post by: armin on June 23, 2008, 07:13:21 pm

Hi,

we have a lot of Worddocs containing references to EA-Diagrams. For maintaining purposes it would be very helpful, if EA would provide a possibility in model search to find diagrams by its UID or at least by its name. SQL search is not very comfortable because it offers no possibility for navigation, locating diagram in project browser, etc.

Regards Armin

The Query Builder supports doing queries for diagrams.  The SQL search also handles navigation to a diagram.

Code: [Select]

SELECT ea_guid AS CLASSGUID, Name, Version, Author, StereoType, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate
FROM t_diagram
WHERE <your condition>

Hi Simon,

ea_guid AS CLASSGUID was the cosmic hint. Thank you. Perhaps there is also a solution for using placeholder like in standard model search filter? We could always set the uid in the where clause, but it would be more comfortable just enter a search term in the search dialog.

Best regards
Armin

Code: [Select]

SELECT ea_guid AS CLASSGUID, Name, Version, Author, StereoType, CreatedDate, ModifiedDate
FROM t_diagram
WHERE ea_guid='<Search Term>'
Have a look at the Recently Modified Searches for some additional tips.
