Bugs and Issues / Advanced > Make Composite

I've just upgraded to EA10 and when I right-click on an Activity in a UML Activity diagram, I expect to see the menu option Advanced > Make Composite.

I no longer see it...has it gone somewhere else?

Thanks,
Saul

Bugs and Issues / How to Get the Requirement Type

« on: May 19, 2011, 12:54:09 pm »

I have a Requirement element which has Requirement Type of "Functional" etc.

In the COM API, if I call element.Type then I get "Requirement" - i.e. I get the element type. How can I get the requirement type?

I've searches through the whole object model in te API and this property eludes me.

Following that, how do I reference the Requirement type in an RTF report?

Thanks,
Saul

It would be really nice to be able to insert a title page with parameterised title, subtitle, version etc from the model.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: How to access Action Behaviour

I'm still having problems with this one....Alex has suggested that I can access the GUID of the referenced method within the Custom Properties of the Action element. When I try this, the only custom properties I see are:

Custom Properties:
Element = 'Action1'      
name: 'kind', value: 'CallOperation'      
name: 'context', value: ''      
name: 'effect', value: ''      
name: 'value', value: ''      

So given that I have an Action element which is a CallOperation, how can I programatically access the method that this Action is calling?

Regards,
Saul

Hi Geert,

sorry I was not very explicit in my question...the Action is already a CallOperation and I can see the populated tab/treenode "Call".

My problem is how to access the contents of "Call" using the API?

Saul

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How to access Action Behaviour

« on: August 24, 2011, 10:05:10 pm »

I have dragged a method onto an Activity diagram to create an Action. Within the GUI, I can see a field called Baheviour set to my original method call:

"«request/reply»Services Model::Domain1::Interface1.getFoo"

The question is, how do I get this method string in the Action element? The only fields I can really see are CustomProperties and none of these contain the value I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Saul

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Changing Association to Realization

OK, I've found the solution.

You need to set the connector type to 'Realisation' *not* 'Realization' as described in the API spec (under Connector).

I think this might be a bug - at least a documentation bug.

Yes, the source is the use-case and the target is the requirement.

I didn't have direction specified, but I've fixed that now...no change.

The "realization" I create in the UI looks identical to the one created via the API...except for the fact that nothing shows up in the Use-Case External Requirements list.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Changing Association to Realization

« on: December 14, 2010, 04:36:27 pm »

I have an association between a use-case elemnt and a requirement element. I can change the connector type between them from 'Association' to 'Realization' using the COM API, however the requirement doesn't show up in the use-case as an 'External Requirement' as I would hope.

Looking at the API documentation there doesn't seem to be any way to add an existing requirement element as an external requirement to a use-case.

Am I missing something?
