Suggestions and Requests / Re: Model Glossary and Model Issues

« on: May 30, 2005, 11:50:01 pm »

Of course you I right!!!
I can generate reports as is and then edit it in other editor...
But it seems to me that it will be better if they include such featuers in EA.   And 'Find' option, and report filter.

Hi!
Thanks, I found this option. But reports are generated not in alphabetical order and not in a table style (so, I can't sort rtf report in RTF editor afterwards).

Suggestions and Requests / Model Glossary and Model Issues

« on: May 27, 2005, 06:42:16 am »

Hi, all!!!
I have a following suggestions:
1. Add "Find" in Model Gossary and Model Issues. It is not very comfortable to work with a large glossary (I have more than 150 records), especially if you are working in a team.
2. Add "Save glossary in a file". Of course, I can make this during HTML report generation, but this is not very comfortable. An export in RTF format files is very useful (This feature exists in Model Issues.). More over, I think that it will be a good idea if you create this report in alphabetical order.
3. Also, I think that if you add filter option (Closed, Opened, All....) on "Create RTF report" (Model Issues) it would be very useful.

General Board / Oracle 10 import DB schema problems

« on: November 07, 2007, 04:49:12 am »

Hi everybody!

We are using EA for data modeling. As you know that the new field types appear in Oracle 10, for example Integer. I added this field type in EA, but when I try to import  DB schema from the existing database such fields recognize as Number(38). The similar problem I have with Oracle bitmap indexes.
May be somebody has ideas or experience how to solve this problem?
Thank you

General Board / Model Issues RTF Report CodePage.

« on: November 24, 2005, 05:13:49 am »

Hi all!
Where I can set up CodePage for Model Issues RTF Report in EA 6.0? I use 1251 CodePage and I have problems in reading reports. In version 5.0 I have not such problems.
In Model Glossary RTF report generation I can select codepage. It seems to me that if you add such feature for Model Issues RTF report generation, it will be very useful.

General Board / Some EA bugs.

« on: July 11, 2005, 07:09:40 am »

Hello everybody,

Last week I found following:
1. First off all,  I created two classes on my diagram and then connected them with, for example, associate connector and then attached a note to this connector (pop-up menu -> Attach Note...). Then I selected in pop-up menu of this note "Advanced settings -> Link to connector tagged values". Then I wrote something in connector link name and this phase appeared in my note. This is seemed to me very convenient for the printable versions of diagrams, because I can sometimes show an important information on the paper and if I change someting in link name of the connector everything will be corrected in all notes on all diagrams.

(It seems to me, that if Sparks gives an opportunity to attach notes not only to connector tagged values or diagram notes, but to element notes it wil be good:-)

But when I made an operation of export/import of my model into xml file an error message appeared and I found that my note was empty.

2. We use Borland Delphi for our projects. In EA documentation I have found the information, that EA suports Delphi code generation
for example when I decided to create for examle a class TmyClass =   class
private
  FmyAttt : Integer;
public
  property myAttt : Integer read FmyAttt;
end;
In EA I created new class and added an attribute  FmyAttt : Integer.. then I selected in pop-up menu of my class "Features -> Delphi properties" and created property myAttt (I could not understand why in Types I could not find standart Delphi types, such as Integer, string, etc) So, I printed in Types "Integer". After this EA generates the correct code. More over, when I pushed the "Save" button of my property twice I found that sometimes a new empty property appered(??) or the  property name became looks like "myAttt : Integer myAttt"

General Board / Import package from XML problem

« on: May 24, 2005, 10:50:34 pm »

Hello,
I am continue evaluating your product.
Yesterday, I came across such problem or,  may be a bug.
I use CVS system for version control. EA uses the XML format files for the CVS server. When I checked out my project from the CVS I found that some links disappared from my project. I ckecked out the previos version and everything was all right.
Then I make some changes with my project (add some classes, use cases and links)  and export it into the XML file. When I created the new project and tried to import package from my XML file the following error message appeared:


DAO.Field[3163]
The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attemped to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.

What have happend? What can I do to avoid this problem?
I use EA ver. 5.0. but this problem was found also with ver. 4.51.

General Board / Re: Version Control Question

« on: May 23, 2005, 10:58:31 pm »

Hi!
I have solved this problem for me in following way: From the Tools menu, select Export Reference Data and create xml file. Then I put this file in CVS.
But I have another question.... I created Model Glossary and when I generated the report on it I found, that it is not in alphabetical order. It is not very comfortable. May be somebody knows how to solve this problem?

General Board / MS SQL2000 DDL script problem.

« on: May 19, 2005, 04:53:09 am »

Hi all!
I have loaded EA 4.5 for evaluation. A very good tool. But I found a trouble with generation MS SQL2000 DDL script. I created two tables with FK reference between them. When I generated a script file I got this:

CREATE TABLE Dish (
ID_Dish uniqueidentifier identity(0,1)  NOT NULL,
ID_DishGroups varchar(255),
DishName varchar(64),  
DishKind smallint
)
;

CREATE TABLE DishGroups (
ID_DishGroups uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
ID_Parent uniqueidentifier,
DishGroupName varchar(64)
)
;


--  Create Primary Key Constraints
ALTER TABLE Dish ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Dish
PRIMARY KEY (ID_Di)
;

ALTER TABLE DishGroups ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DishGroups
PRIMARY KEY (ID_DishGrou)
;

Why it cuts field names while primary key generation?

More over, when I change MS SQL2000 on Interbase. EA generates correct DDL script.

« on: December 28, 2005, 10:54:27 pm »

Hi everyone,

I am starting to use MDG link for VS, however find some things hard to understand.

Whoat should I do with forms? If I have a UML class for a form, with attributes for fields and operations for burrons - any way I can use it while producing the form in VS 2005?

Should I model forms at all?

Thanks
