Title: Export Diagram Filters - sync with subversion
Post by: kc123 on April 19, 2016, 02:49:48 am

Hello!

I found the Diagram Filters to be a nifty tool in EA. However, it seems like the Diagram Filters get stored in the .eap file itself. Is there a way to export the filters so that I can share it with my project group via subversion? Can it be included in the XML export?

Thanks in advance!

Probably can be ex/im-ported using ex/im-port reference data.

But where there? It's not Diagram Matrix.

Actually they are stored in t_xrefsystem with Type="DFilter". See also chap. 6.17.2. of my Inside book.

Thanks for your replies!

@Geert: I can't find Diagram Filters anywhere in the export ref. data dialog.

@qwerty: I'm not sure what you mean by "t_xrefsystem with Type="DFilter" ".. Is there a way to access this t_xrefsystem somehow and export its data to a file?

You will need to script that. Issue a

Code: [Select]

SELECT Name, Description FROM t_xrefsystem WHERE Type="DFilter"This will get you all filters (description is some XML describing the filter). In order to get that into other EAP/DBMS you need to create according entries where you create an arbitrary XRefID (GUID format; eventually you can re-use the original key). Client is set to the author. I don't use it often, so I do not know how the user influences the filters. Maybe they are user specific, in which case you would need to create entries per person(?).
