Suggestions and Requests / Re: Mac OS X version of EA

« on: August 12, 2010, 03:41:12 am »

  It isn't fun, because I want my memory and processor for other things besides Windows.

I agree about your assessment of virtualization software on Mac OS X though - both VMware and Parallels work very well (I own both, but prefer Parallels at the moment (it changes now and again)) - and I've got a MBP with 8 GB of RAM, my second.  8-)

At the moment I can do all development in Eclipse under Mac OS X, although everybody uses Eclipse on Windows at work (I had the opportunity to chose the character encoding UTF-8 before anyone else checked out the code), so I'm happy with having the machine all-Mac at the moment.

Suggestions and Requests / Mac OS X version of EA

« on: August 11, 2010, 06:58:10 pm »

Are there any plans for a Mac version of EA? I use EA extensively at work, but use a Mac on the way to/from work and at home. Having to start Parallels or VMware to run EA isn't fun...

Solved, I think. I just needed to work a little bit more on my Subversion skills, and also check out again after I'd made the server authentication setting changes (to get the client to authenticate once).

OK, it seems I'm forced to ask one more question. It think I read somwhere that I had to configure VC to enable anonymous access, but in the Version Control pdf on Subversion, it just says that there should be user names and passwords setup.

So - where do I configure the user name and password that EA authenticates as? At the moment, I can modify the repository only from the server - and I haven't done any user authentication setup at all in the svn config file (if I do, I get errors that I'll have to deal with eventually). Is this done like with CVS?

Great - I think I've got it working now. One last thing though (I hope ;-) ): Do I have to tell EA to version control all the sub packages?

At the moment I've marked the entire tree for VC, and EA shows me that its' sub packages are then VC:d. The packages "below" that aren't.

So - do I have to explicitly tell EA that I wan't to VC those? When the top level was marked for VC, it looked as if all the "leaves" were traversed too! Maybe all the packages that someone might want to check out separately need to be explicitly added for VC?

Thanks in advance.

Robert,

It's not the eap file that is VC'd, but the xmi export file.

Geert

OK, I've been stuck for a good while on this again. It's the "hen and egg" problem. I've sucessfully transferred to an SQL Server DB now, and have also sucessfully done VC. Together though...

Should I
1. Make the .eap file, import that into the svn repository, check it out and then transfer that to the database?
2. Transfer the .eap to the DB, then export something to XMI, import that into svn with svnimport and then check out the project?

Support have not given up on you, they are just trying to get the right machine and system to run tests on. You should get further responses in due course.

Great, thanks!

Yes (or actuall no), I tried again and have looked through the Event Viewer at the logs. Nothing.

Yes to all! I tried using both a SystemDSN and the other one. It seems Sparx support has given up - they asked if I've set up the ODBC conf as described, which I said I had - and they haven't followed up since April 16...

Have you verified that the 32bit PostgreSQL ODBC drivers are on the path when you start EA?

Yep, now I have added it both to the PATH and CLASSPATH (the latter is useless, of course). No change.

I have managed to transfer the project without a hitch to an SQL Server Express on the same machine, so maybe I'll stick with that for now. Sigh - I'd really like to get rid of that SQL Server!

Nope, now I've upgraded postgreSQL to 8.4.3, and there's still the same on both systems. Must be something else (unless Sparx means 8.4.1 and up - but on both pages (the one I looked at, and the one you pointed out) they point to the 8.4.1 driver, not the database iteself).

Thank you - the database is set up with an empty database, and the script run on it with no errors.

I'll check if it's a driver problem (I've only found two ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL - ODBCng and psqlodbc. The former won't show up in either of the odbcad.exe programs, but the latter does (I'm running everything on Windows Server 2008 r2 x64).

I get this on both my test and production systems.

Thanks again. Sadly, I can't get EA to transfer a project to the database though. The Project Transfer dialog is setup with .EAP to DBMS, the ODBC connection tests fine, but when I click "Transfer" I get a warning dialog stating "Enterprise Architect has experienced a network error and will close down".

So, close, but no cigar... :-(

I can't find this error more than in one place in the net (for EA version 6.1, and no answers).

I'm using PostgreSQL 8.4.1, psqlodbc_08_03-0400 and EA 7.5.849

Great, thanks! I'm just stuck in the concept that it's the "file" that is being VCed. I'll try to set everything up and get back with more detailed questions.
