Title: HTML report for several root nodes?

Hi all,
Is-it possible to generate HTML report of several root nodes of my projet?
Thanks for your response,
Olivier

Hello,

This is one of the more bizarre limitations in EA.
The way around it is to create a master document (http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.5/model_publishing/create_master_document.html) for your HTML export. You can't drop root nodes as packages onto a model document, but you can drop view-level packages.

This of course means the root nodes are not included in the generated HTML, which means you lose one level in the model tree. But you can modify the names of the model document attributes without losing the links to the actual packages, which means you can impose a naming scheme like
root1 -- view1
root1 -- view2
root2 -- view1
root3 -- view1
root3 -- view2

It's not perfect, but at least you can include all the model content in one HTML generation, and see what root node each view-level package belongs to in the (flattened) result.

HTH,
