Title: Command Line extraction
Post by: Erik on March 11, 2009, 08:13:32 am

It would be cool if there where a few command line switches that could be used to generate a html web site or a rtf document automatically.

We could then use this in a automated script.

EA does support both of these see: http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/projectinterface.html

Thanks, Erik.

Hi Erik,

I think Dermot referred to the methods available through the EA automation interface. To use this functionality from command line, it's necessary to write a little program (e.g. in VB or C#), that actually calls the automation interface. Shouldn't be much effort to do so ...

Yep, that`s a little piece of code I`ve been writing for each and everyone of my clients.

The problem is, the code doesn`t belong to me, but to my clients, so I end up writing the same thing over and over.

I am a .net programmer, but i go to a client that doesn`t use .net, i don`t have the tools to write this program, and then the problem starts.
