General Board / Re: BNF and UML

« on: February 09, 2006, 03:55:43 am »

Well, there is no any example
I was simply asked by coders. They use configuration file in BNF notation and asked how they can use UML and EA to have this syntax described within UML model? Mostly for better visualisation and to connect allowed key words (objects) with the rest of the project. So maby syntax is not so important as allowed objects.

Potentialy some automation in convertion it (later)  to BNF is possible so that's why such idea appeared.

My opinion is that there is no point to doing so but I put this post just to get know other opinion.

Actually the question is: "Here we have syntax desciption (BFN or other) and how can we write it using UML"
In my personal opinion it's probably kind of the UML Fever, but put such a question in case someone would have different opinion

I assume that You also suggest using BNF exept trying to use UML?

General Board / BNF and UML

Hi,
Does anyone knows successful adaptation of BNF notation using UML (and EA)?

I know, that state machines could be used but it is still far from BNF usability.

General Board / Re: 3065 while transfering to MSSQL

« on: December 16, 2004, 05:04:02 am »

Hi, I almost forgot this thread...

anyway, I solved this problem and it was my and only my fault!  
I imported some classes by Automation Interface and
created diagrams. I set its type as "Class" by mistake. Everything worked fine while it was running local Access Database or MySQL. But MSSQL checks FKs in better way so I change diagram type to "Logical" and that was it. However such situation is strange the problem is solved. (same situation in other EA repository FKs)

By. Be carefull during automation!

Thanks Jeroen, but I followed all the instructions. Without mentioned script the trasfer fails at the begining. In my case transfer stops after a while.

Thanks anyway.

General Board / 3065 while transfering to MSSQL

« on: April 26, 2004, 08:08:19 am »

DAO.Database [3065]
Cant execute select query

I have such error while transfering EAP file to MSSQL 2000. Not at the begining but at about 70% (t_diagrams). I have followed all the instructions (MDAC 2.8, script passed, EAP file checked and valid)

Have anyone any advice??

General Board / Re: corporate usage

« on: June 08, 2004, 01:33:12 am »

Thanks,
I preceed some tests and assume that XML export/import work fine. So, probably it is the best (and only, so far) practise for sharing model in corporation and taking it offline in the same time.
So, steps are as follow:
(model is stored in database)
1. Lock package (with subelements)
2. Transfer to EAP file or export package to XML
3. Proceed offline modifications
4. Import locked package from XML
5. Unlock package

That, resolves my problem

Tomas,
Right, I can transfer project to EAP-File and in this way take it off-line
But, is it safe for read only. After modification in file, how to synchonize them with DB?? Transfering to DB ALWAYS replace current DB content. Keep in mind that others designers could change model simultanously with off-line changes.
How to solve that??

Gobo
PS.: we change model usage because off growing number of designers. In group of 6-10 replication is ok. Above that it takes time to synchonize replicas, locking problems and simultauosly access make work more difficult.

General Board / corporate usage

« on: June 04, 2004, 03:27:24 am »

Hi,
I move my project from Master-Replicas usage to Database usage (corporate edition). And  now work is possible ONLY while connection with database is active. Its ok for those working only from office (database is on a corporate server). But for designers working outside (on customer side or at home) master-replicas working model was better - there are no way to connect to corporate server from outside. In addition: working mean changing, not only read-only access.

Does anyone have such experiences? Is it possible to compromise advantages of those two usage models?

Greatfull for any help

General Board / multi-language support

« on: May 17, 2004, 08:17:27 am »

Helo,
I have such a dilema (sic! i'm terribly sorry for mentioning about that as eng.):

I have to translate my analitical model (in EA) into second language. For obvious reasons I made it in my native language and have plans to keep it and develop in a future. But for "certain" reasons I have to have it also in other language.
I decide to have two models but its very dificult to develop them at the same time

Have You any better idea?

General Board / Max project size

« on: April 30, 2004, 02:56:09 am »

 Hi,
does anyone knows how big projects EA supports? I suppose that there are no formal limitation (or it is very big) but i'm interesting in workaround experience.

I plan to have quite big model. Now there are about 2000 elements, 40MB disc space (!). Synchronization of couple of replicas take quite a long time.

Thanks for any comments

General Board / Re: File sharing lock count exceeded. (Error 3052)

« on: April 30, 2004, 02:39:58 am »

Problem somehow resolved
Those classes come from RevEng of database. There were big problems during database creation (FKs many times duplicated) - after correcting this, problems in EA disapeared

General Board / File sharing lock count exceeded. (Error 3052)

« on: April 26, 2004, 12:04:29 am »

I Reverse my database into EA model, it's about 1200 classes in one package. When I try to delete whole package or Synchronize replicas (I've done this on replica file) I have such error:
File sharing lock count exceeded. (Error 3052)

Please for help

PS: I suppose, that dividing classes into small packages will help, but it seems to be quite temporary solution.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Requirments Management Tool

« on: June 04, 2004, 03:35:24 am »

Hi,
I agree with general opinion in this thread.
I used Rational Requisite Pro - great tool but too expensive. EA has ALL advantages of ReqPro and much more so EA rulez!

Gobo

PS: There are no problem with conversion of current projects from ReqPro - I made apropriate program based on automation interface.
