General Board / Re: BPMN with Sparx: Is there an in-depth text boo

« on: October 24, 2014, 06:44:38 am »

Why is that?

If there was a book about BPMN with Enterprise Architect, it would have become very out of date with the release of EA 11.1

General Board / Re: Running EA on a Mac

« on: October 24, 2014, 06:40:51 am »

I haven't had the best of luck with Crossover, very slow performance, very flimsy. Lots of crashes with OSX 10.9.x
I am very surprised that EA recommend this route. I would love a native client.
VMWare Fusion seems to work just fine, however the upgrade policy of VMWare is horrid, forcing users to pay for every major version bump (without offering any real tangible benefits besides new OS support).

Hi,

on Crossover I experienced some issues during use of a SQL-Repository and some erros in formattings and the function BaselineCompare.

In WirtualBox however, it worked very well.

General Board / requirements expressed with flowcharts, tables, eq

« on: October 24, 2014, 06:34:40 am »

hello all,

I have to deal with requirements that must be defined using either
a. algorithms  i.e. the system shall validate input using a flowchart x
b. equations   i.e. the system shall calculate a property based on an equation
c. tables  - this is a common technique to minimise the number of individual requirements that are similar and only vary slightly from each other.

By looking at all available documentation, it seems that the description of a requirement in EA is only textual and can only accept a rich text format.

Has anyone had to deal with a  similar problem and managed to do so successfully with EA? Can you please share your thoughts on this?
warm regards
