Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Issues with GUID of onnectors / relationships

@Geert, I got yours to work. But I had to change c.connectorID into c.connector_ID.

Hi @Geert, many thanks for your patience. On my installation these attributes doe not exist:

Code: [Select]

SELECT * FROM t_diagramlinks ->  t_diagramlinks does not have a Connector_lD, use Instance_ID instead
SELECT * FROM t_connector -> t_connector does not have a ConnectorID, but a Connector_ID instead

So this SQL-statement works:

Code: [Select]

SELECT d.ea_guid AS DiagramName
FROM ((t_diagramlinks dl
JOIN t_diagram d ON dl.DiagramID = d.Diagram_ID)
join t_connector c on c.Connector_ID = dl.Instance_ID)
WHERE c.ea_guid = '{BEFFA34C-4A29-46d0-AE21-96723A6FEC29}'

I thought that I was using the newest schema. I just set it up newly yesterday.

It did neither work on eap nor on MariaDB. I will try again.

The GUID of the connector is available (with your help, by the way). Do you mind to correct my query? I do not get yours to run.

Yes. The diagram needs an update(). Sorry for editing my comment in the meantime. You were to fast for me

The Diagram.SelectedConnector might help you.

Many thanks.

Code: [Select]

diagram.SelectedConnector = connector;
diagram.Update();

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Highlight / select a visible Connector / Link

« on: June 09, 2025, 11:41:58 pm »

Hi, is there a possibility to highlight / select a visible connector (aka link) in an open diagram via API? GUID and ID are known for both diagram and link. V.

Here is the statement that worked. @Geert, it would be great if you could check it, if it is correct and why yours did not work.

Code: [Select]

SELECT d.ea_guid AS DiagramName
FROM t_diagramlinks dl
JOIN t_diagram d ON dl.DiagramID = d.Diagram_ID
WHERE dl.ConnectorID = (SELECT ConnectorID FROM t_connector WHERE ea_guid = '<GUID>');

My bad, Geert. Works for MariaDB now. Have to check for JET now. Thank you.

Only the technical issue is gone. But I get an empty result set with the query from Geert.
 
I tried another option and got the expected result. I wanted to post it, but the forum-software blocks to insert a sql-statement (insert code).

I get an missing operator error. I cannot find it :-( I am using MariaDB and eapx.

select * from t_diagram d inner join t_diagramlinks dl on dl.DiagramID = d.Diagram_ID inner join t_connector c on c.Connector_ID = dl.ConnectorID inner join t_object o on o.Object_ID in (c.Start_Object_ID, c.End_Object_ID) where dl.Hidden = 0 and o.ea_guid = '{BEFFA34C-4A29-46d0-AE21-96723A6FEC29}';

Bugs and Issues / Re: Stereotype is not shown in the correct toolbox page

Yes, I've been caught by that kind of "discrepancy" before.  Can you see any rationale for this?  (not blaming Sparx, just observing anomaly in the standard)
Paolo

I am not the expert, but the reason could be that "Dependency" is a "Type" and "Realization" a "Subtype".

Bugs and Issues / Re: Timeaware Modeling - links doesn't cloned

« on: June 04, 2025, 12:20:26 am »

The branch cloned for V3 has the problems with cloning links from previous versions.
There are no links between blocks of different packages.

Did you clone the element / the block in the cloned diagram? Than a Trace-relationship would appear between clone element and clone.

Links cannot be "cloned", there is no Trace-relationship that connects links. I would have appreciated this.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Connector Line Jump with Archimate

« on: June 04, 2025, 12:15:25 am »

Is there a way to fix this?

Hi, I have the same issue. For a better readability of a diagram, I wanted to use “Connector Line Jumps”. The lines are based on “Archi Mate3:: Archi Mate_Serving“. But my lines do not “jump”.

• “Enable Connector line jumps“ for diagrams is checked. So, that is not the reason.
• From the manual “Diagram Options” I learned that only “solid-line connectors” are supported by “Enable Connector line jumps“. Serving is solid-line connector.
• In https://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php?topic=23388.0 I learned from KP that “line jumps aren't available for shape scripted lines (which rules out most MDG Technologies)”. So, I suppose Serving is one of the affected connectors.
• I changed the type of “Archi Mate3:: Archi Mate_Serving“ connector via “Advanced” > “Change Type” to “ControlFlow”. Now the jump is supported, although the stereotype stays “Archi Mate3:: Archi Mate_Serving“. To the connector the name “«Archi Mate_Serving»” has been added.

My questions are:

• If I understand the above correctly only standard UML relationships are “really” supported (beside some exceptions maybe). So, most of the notations in SparxEA are affected, right?
• Why does “type change” work, although it is still a stereotype?

V.
