Suggestions and Requests / HTML documentation generation

« on: August 02, 2005, 08:45:52 pm »

I would like making a request. When generating HTML documentation, the file links are lost.

I would like to see this problem solved, because we were trying to use this function and has given up because of it.

Thank you very much,
Gladstone.

Obs: Not good english as you can see...

Hey David, I think that what you said is almost ideal for my case.  

The difference if there was a configuration item for this is only the automatization. The method you suggested is very useful for us.

And it's a very simple solution at all. I'm ashamed I could not see this before!    

Thank you very much,

Bugs and Issues / Omnipresent relationships

« on: March 20, 2008, 04:31:58 pm »

Hi people,

There is a behaviour in EA (we are in 6.5 version) that is interesting in some cases but is VERY problematic in others.  :-/

We have a repository of diagrams with many relationships between elements in all projects. It is because we are recording the whole enterprise system and integration architecture model. It's not just a system modeling project.

When we create a new link between thow components (for exemple), this new link appears automatically in ALL diagrams where these same two elements appears. Because integration between systems are showed under many visions, we don't want to see all integrations in all diagrams.

Is there any form of turning this off?

Thank you.
Gladstone.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Integrating EA with other informations

« on: February 12, 2006, 02:14:13 pm »

Hi,

In a enterprise environment we need always integrated information. Not only the user information, but also the IT information. Models are kind of metadata and this is very important information to be integrated with others too. Example: we have a system which maintains a inventory of the systems and we would like integrating this information with our models in EA.

EA database is relational one. It's seems to be easy integrating EA models (metadata) with others systems,  but we don't know how often this model changes (from one version to other) and if these changes are careful for compatibility with the past and we don't have control over it. If exists explicit support for integrating models with the enterprise information, it would be more confortable trying this approach.

Are there features or plans or approachs or anything else in the direction of supporting integration of the models with other information in EA?

Today is there any way of making customized queries like "what are the classes in my model which has some relation with Company class and has a tagged value XXX" or something like that? Plans for that? It would be a starting point...

Thanks,
Gladstone.

P.S.: Oh! I'm sorry about my baaad english!

I can't see how I could use a sed-command, since the html code is generated by EA...

Is there some way of describing path variables?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / HTML report and attached file

« on: June 29, 2005, 12:22:31 pm »

Hi everyone,

I have a problem when generating html reports when my use cases have attached files.

The problem is that I can't use relative paths, because when html is generated, the html locations are different and the file links are lost. With absolute paths, things are much worse!!!  

I use to attach storyboards files with use cases. That's why I need them.

Thank you,
Gladstone.
