Title: Open the Relationship Matrix via script
Post by: OpenIT Solutions on January 12, 2018, 11:36:36 pm

Hi,

Is there a way to open the Relationship Matrix via a script ? Ideally also set the 'profile' and/or source and targets ?

Regards,

Jon.

Look for Matrix Specification Artifact in the below link. Then maybe you can apply a double click to open the Matrix with the predefined profile.

Hi OpenIT Solutions

There isn't any direct API calls to open the relationship matrix via scripts.

You can create a Matrix profile (as suggested VKN ) using an API and it might do the trick  ;).
After you create the Profile definition, each time you double-click on the Artifact element the Relationship Matrix displays with the Profile applied.

Please refer http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.5/model_navigation/elementrelationshipmatrix.html (http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.5/model_navigation/elementrelationshipmatrix.html)for more details

Hi,

What I'm really after is a way via a script. I think I remember sometime ago reading that there were some undocumented features that could be used to simulate a menu/ribbon click via script. I can't find the thread on the group however. Ring any bells with anyone ?

Regards,

Jon.

You can, but prepare to get dirty -> simulating mouseclicks and keypresses  :o

One the examples I found here: http://www.sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,4363.msg120072.html#msg120072 (http://www.sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,4363.msg120072.html#msg120072)

You're after Respository.CustomCommand. It might have some parameter, but I'm not aware of one for the RM.

Hello,

have you been able to solve your problem? Are there any new commands, to trigger an export of a relationship matrix with a pre defined matrix profile.
I'm facing the exact same task.

thank you and regards,
Ibro
