Title: Synchronizing diagram types
Post by: sherey on March 28, 2017, 05:24:37 am

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to synchronize existing diagrams with an updated custom diagram type similar to how stereotypes can be synchronized?  I changed toolbox configurations in my mdg/profiles.  New diagrams show the new toolbox configurations, but the old diagrams don't.  Is there way to make my old diagrams show the new toolboxes?

Thanks!

You need to tweak a table's contents. t_diagram has the diagrams and the according ones have StyleEx set like

Code: [Select]

MDGDgm=Archimate2::Business;(for an Archimate diagram). If you change that to the new stereotype of your diagram you're done. Either use a native SQL client or write a small script like

Code: [Select]

sql = "UPDATE t_diagram SET styleEx="the new value" WHERE styleEx="the old value"
Repository.Execute(sql)
The function is (reasonably) not documented, but works. However, make a test in a sandbox before applying that in a production environment.
