General Board / Show notes of activities in diagram

« on: November 04, 2009, 09:59:23 pm »

Hello gurus,

Using EA 7.1.831. I would like to show the notes compartment for activities: Feature Visibility -> Show Element Compartments -> Notes. For classes etc this works but it does not for Activity elements. Also for activity elements: how do i display attribute and operation compartments?

Regards,

/m.

General Board / Re: Code template question: filter destructor

« on: May 20, 2008, 04:13:03 pm »

Thanks, it works!

Still a question: before posting my question I tried:

Code: [Select]

%list="Operation" @separator="\n\n" @indent="\t" opName == $destructor%
This did not work, in your example, the filter is 'reversed': $destructor == opName.

What am I missing?

Kind regards,

/m.

General Board / Code template question: filter destructor

« on: May 19, 2008, 11:43:56 pm »

Hello,

To filter constructors you can use:

Code: [Select]

%list="Operation" @separator="\n\n" @indent="\t" opName == className%
But how can filter out the destructor, as far as I know the condition on the list is evaluated in a separate context to the current template and therefore can't include variables.

Any ideas?

I've created a project on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eareqpro

You can find a first version here (code and binary) that does some imports and is able to show you the requirement. Please beware that this is still in an experimental phase.

Anyone who would like to help this thing on the road is more then welcome.

I have a plug-in that can perform an import and keeps a reference to the reqpro requirement - although a bit limited and uncomplete. It might suit your needs. Perhaps I can put it somewhere on e.g. sourceforge. Would be nice if people could contribute to it also. Any ideas?

Is there in the meantime some progress on this issue :-)

I'm seeking for a IBM Rational RequisitePro (RP) connector too.

Has some one written this in the meantime ;-).

Best Regards Ralph

I've started work on a C# plug-in. It does some imports but is unfinished. Perhaps this is interesting as an open source project?

So there is no integration with or import from RP?

EAreqPro is mentioned on this board:

General Board / Requisite Pro intergration/import

« on: May 05, 2006, 06:24:19 am »

Hello all,

I have found some topics about Requisite Pro intergration - pointers to something called EAreqpro. I have googled for this but no results. Is this thing alive, renamed or just an idea?

General Board / Re: embedded systems workflow after EA

« on: January 14, 2008, 03:59:52 am »

I discovered that EA does not (yet) generate code for state machines. It is in the FAQ here:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/support/faq/code_generation.html


(at EA Version 7.0 build 818 )

This may dampen interest in the embedded community. Though certainly many benefits of UML design process remain.

Owen

Use the search Luke. Search the forum: the answer is there. You will find hints on how to create a statemachine transformation. But I would suggest that you build a plug-in that does the job - much easier & maintainable.

General Board / Re: Message crossing on sequence diagrams

« on: July 16, 2007, 09:15:00 pm »

Nice feature! Didn't know that was possible with EA.

In my understanding the purpose of the non-horizontals is to indicate that the transport of the message takes time and cannot be neglected. This imposes special requirements for the statemachines (clientside&serverside) that handle the protocol. E.g. the ability to deal with retransmissions etc... Take a look at the four statemachines defined as in the SIP specs(rfc3261) (if you savvy ascii art ).

These kind of diagrams/situations are typically found in telecom / protocol situations e.g. TCP/IP, SIP etc... You will have to consider state of the applicable classes/objects.

Sometimes I think the UML guys are too much focussed at business/financial/web applications and forget us, poor telecommies and embedded people...

General Board / Re: transition from any state

« on: May 24, 2007, 05:51:21 am »

Hmmm... sounds a bit cumbersome.

In the good old days when we chipped our SDL diagrams into stone plates we could specify the 'any' state with an '*'. Any state except the states 'A' and 'B' would then be "*,A,B"....

Those where the days

General Board / transition from any state

« on: May 23, 2007, 11:14:20 pm »

Hello gurus,

In this state diagram I have I would like to draw/specify that a particular event causes a transition from any state to the 'error' state. At the moment I (ab)use an Entry Point for this purpose. Is this allowed or should I use another technique?

Regards, M.
