General Board / Re: Parse XML into template fragment

« on: February 08, 2022, 07:22:15 pm »

Hi Geert,

Thanks for the quick reaction! The XML contains the data from the example:

Code: [Select]

<EADATA>
         <Dataset_0>
             <Data>
                 <Row Name="NameValue" Second="Value2"></Row>
                 <Row Name="NameValue2"></Row>
             </Data>
         </Dataset_0>
     </EADATA>

The custom script in the template fragment contains the following code:

Code: [Select]

Filename = \\Serverpath\test.xml
The template fragment only catches the name field using the 'Insert custom field' function

Code: [Select]

custom>
{Name}
<custom

This is what I think the tutorial is says I should do but the result is null.

General Board / Parse XML into template fragment

« on: February 08, 2022, 06:32:08 pm »

Hi,

I would like to parse the data from an external XML file into a document using the EA document generator and a template fragment. I tried to follow this tutorial:
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.2/model_publishing/custom_xml_fragment.html but it didn't work for me. I tested the link I put in and it works within my browser so I think that isn't the problem. Does anyone of you have a code example for how to import a XML into a document using a script or the custom script in the template fragment?

General Board / RTF page won't show landscape

« on: January 28, 2022, 10:46:52 pm »

Hi,

For my virtual document I created a document template with the following structure:
<package>
<element>
  //Element data
<diagram>
  //Diagram data
<diagram> ---- Section break ----

{template fragment}
{template fragment}
{template fragment}
 ---- Section break ----

<element>
<package>

All the template fragments and the section are set to Landscape but when I generate the document it will show in portrait mode. I only want to show the sections before and after the section break in portrait. Do you have an idea what this could be?

General Board / RTF attribute / method ID

« on: January 26, 2022, 07:27:42 pm »

Hi,
For a document template I would like to show the attribute and method ID. I tried to show this bij using a custom fragment but I can't get the correct input variable for this. To get the object id I have to use #OBJECTID# but this doesn't apply for attributes in a way like #ATTRIBUTEID# or #ID#. Can someone tell me how to show the attribute and if there is some kind of reference document where to find this kind information?

General Board / Can't create instance

« on: September 04, 2017, 05:05:41 pm »

Hi,

I created a profile with a new stereotypes (called component) that extends the Class object and inherits the SysML1.3 Block object. The new type has the following instance behaviour configured:
- Mode: Instance
- Owner: Element
- Type: Component (it's own type).

Now when I am using the component type it works very well but when I try to create an instance it won't create one. So for example I drag the element on my diagram, select Drop as -> Property (SysML1.3::Part) and click OK. Then the diaglog disappears and nothing is dropped on my diagram. The strange thing is that is does work by my collegues.

Do you have any ideas what settings I have to check to get this functionality enabled??

kind regards,
Roy

General Board / Shape script instance color

« on: June 15, 2017, 10:36:37 pm »

Hi,

In my profile I created a stereotype "component" that inherits from a SysML::Block. Within this stereotype I used the Shape Script to set the color of the component depending on the value of a tagged value. This works fine but when I create an instance of the component it got the EA default color and I would like to inherit the color of the component. Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

In the profile of the component I set the "Instance behaviour -> Type" to itself, is this the right way to create instances?

General Board / EAP missing data

« on: June 02, 2017, 05:23:33 pm »

Hi,

For backup and distribution we transfer our project (DBMS) to an .EAP file once in a while. Since a week or two I got the error "DAO.Field [3163] - Message to long" and the result is that the project is transfered to the .EAP but the .EAP is missing data like the tagged values of operations. The size of the .EAP is more than 1 GB and I think this has to do something with the DAO error but I don't know for sure.

So.. Do you guys know how I can solve this problem and what are the options to reduce the size of the .EAP. I already disabled and cleared the audit log and performed a Project Integrity Check.

Kind regards,
Roy

Bugs and Issues / Tagged Values aren't saved

« on: March 24, 2017, 03:18:19 am »

Hi,

Every now and then I have the problem that the changes that I made to the tagged values of an operation won't be saved. So for example I have a SysML1.3::Block with some operations and when I edit the value of a tagged value and then select another operation within the block and than switch back to the edited operation my changes are gone. The strange thing is that when I change within an operation from the tagged values field to the behavior field and back the changes are saved succesfully.

The only solution to fix this problem is to restart EA, so even close and reopening the project won't work.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Recursive Query

« on: February 23, 2017, 01:42:32 am »

Hi,

I am trying to query the complete decomposition of a given element (the element itself and all it's childs, and the childs its childs) to seperate rows and I would like to do this recursively. To do this I am thinking of using the WITH statement but I can't test this because the SQL Sqratch Pad doesn't execute the query if it doesn't start with select.

Code: [Select]

With hierarchy()
AS
(

)

SELECT *
FROM hierarchy
Can anyone tell me how to run this query or how to create a recursive query and start with Select.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Generate baseline Release Notes

« on: December 08, 2016, 12:39:48 am »

Hi,

We use the EA baseline functionality to baseline our packages when needed. With the 'Show Differences' I am able to have a overview of what's changes and I like the output. Now I am wondering if it is possible to export the differences in a way that people who are receiving our documentation also can read it. I would be great to select the features (like a operation or a interface) and only have that features exported.

Does anyone know if this is possible, or an equal solution.

Bugs and Issues / Create tag group doesn't work for operations

« on: December 06, 2016, 12:41:28 am »

Hi,

In the "Automation Interface, add-ins and Tools" forum I posted the following:
http://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,37568.0.html

Hi,

I created a MDG Technology for our project and within this Technology I stereotyped classes and operations. Within this elements I created standard Tagged Values to support the engineers. When I use create Tag group within the class stereotype and dev >:(ide the tagged values over the groups it works fine but when I do this for operations it doesn't work. All the tagged values are represented as one list when I create the stereotyped operation.

Do you know how to fix this or should I report this as a bug? FYI: I used EA 11.

Roy

qwerty told me that this problem also exists in EA12.1 so thats why I would like to report the bug.
