General Board / Re: what's in the Hell is Trerado?

thank you everyone for help clarifying that!
I see, so this is not a new product, rather packaging existing offering for marketing reasons. I was hoping to get a real modeling web platform based on Prolaborate....

Yes. A marketing page with zero information. I was wondering if we would have real info in this community

thank you Eve!
this is extremely helpful and explains the behaviour that I  observed.
After testing this I will report back for other users

General Board / Re: Sparx Reusable Asset Service (RAS) and model libraries

« on: March 05, 2024, 12:52:17 am »

TM Forum (TMForum.org) is an organization for the standardization of Telecommunications and I'm in charge of moving all they produce into a single Autoritative Source of Truth (ASoT), based on EA.
I presented some of the results in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHrP-8DELso&t=5s

The TMF  model contains 14,000 elements and 24,000 relationships and is probably one of the most complex one out of there.
Now this need to be used by an organization (e.g. a Telecom) that has his own architecture. They can do that by creating relationships (e.g. Realization or trace) between the industry model and the local model, but you cannot automate that with a script because it requires human decision.
BTW, I don't understand the logic behind RAS overwriting 'side relationships', this should not happens IMHO

General Board / Sparx Reusable Asset Service (RAS) and model libraries

« on: March 02, 2024, 03:17:34 am »

hello Community!

I am facing a challenge with Sparx Reusable Asset Service (RAS) regarding the preservation of relationships when connecting local elements to the library. The issue arises when I update libraries packages from the RAS to a new version, as the process overwrites any changes made locally, including relationships established between Library elements and local ones. the target model extends the industry standard with additional elements and relationships specific to an organization, and it is crucial to maintain these customizations.

The use case involves maintaining a "tailored" industry model up-to-date, which entails the following steps:

• Import industry model version x using RAS.
  Connect (trace, or realize) local elements to the industry model.
  Import industry model version x+1 using RAS.
  Keep the relationships created in step 2 in the new model.

While I appreciate the power of RAS for accessing an industry-standard model, the inability to preserve local relationships during updates  poses a significant risk to the integrity of an organization's model.

Do you have any idea how to prevent this, or can you suggest an alternative approach to update the industry model?

I gave up to custom documents for now and returned to document generators. past Sparxian Experience show that they may , or not!, improve that in the future

I alternative you can use Geerts EA validator

to ensure the consistency of your model

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: MdG with stereotyped action

« on: July 26, 2023, 04:05:25 am »

some results of my experiments, looking at the docs here:
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/modeling_frameworks/displaying_element_properties.html

• classifier: returns the name of the original operation
• packagepath: returns only the parent package

all of following is ignored

• classifier.actualname
  
• classifier.metatype
• classifier.name
• classifier.type
• classifier.alias

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / MdG with stereotyped action

« on: July 26, 2023, 03:37:30 am »

hi all,
in my MdG I have a stereotyped Operation from which I wanted to create a stereotyped calloperation action. First of all I realized that the "InstanceType" of the operation is ignored, so I have to add the stereotype manually.
Now I'm trying to display some tagged values, however the action is not responding to the show tagged value compartment command in the UI.
If I try to create a shapescript from the ground, I loose the notation

Code: [Select]

ACTIONNAME
(ParentObject::OperationName)
Question: how can I reference to ParentObject::OperationName in the action using shapescript?

General Board / Re: UML and ArchiMate together in a model

« on: May 19, 2023, 07:31:12 pm »

When you connect several languages you are really defining a new one that is possibly also adding completely new concepts and not using some from the original one.
What we typically do is to define this language as Metamodel and the implement as a Sparx MDG. One very advanced example of this approach is the Digital Architecture Framework that is available on github.

General Board / custom documents fail to update

« on: March 22, 2023, 05:36:14 am »

the custom documents feature looks promising, however at the moment It looks to be broken using custom fragments.
Updating a section containing a fragment with a SQL search, not only fail to update: it deletes the previous context

Update Dynamic Section
The main characteristic of Dynamic content is that it drawn from items in the model that are subject to frequent change. As you read the document, an item might be updated by another team member. To ensure that you are seeing the latest instance of an item, select this option to refresh the item details from the model.

There is also an option available from the context menu for the main body of the Custom Document, to update all Dynamic sections of the document at the same time, as described earlier.

from https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.1/model_publishing/manage_custom_documents.html

Anyone has observed the same?

good idea Geert!
Probably the down side would be that the pattern need to be started by a toolbox in a diagram ...

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / create multiple elements at once

« on: February 28, 2023, 12:22:06 am »

Hello community!
working on a very complex MdG that requires certain model elements to be created as a stereotyped class AND package on the same time.
e.g. User creates the class "Project Management", on the same time a package with the same name is created.
I suspect this can be done with a internal Add-in, but I would appreciate any previous work on the topic.

thank you!
