General Board / Re: Activity Diagram size in RTF Report

« on: March 11, 2013, 08:54:24 pm »

Hello rnv,

I create a table where I include the diagram. This way you can limit the width of the diagram and therefore make sure the title and caption stays with it.

You can use the right click|Paragraph|Keep Together in your rtf template as well.

One more hint, make the diagram wider (horizontally) if it takes too much space in the vertical direction.

It takes a bit of fiddling to find out but eventually you'll get it sorted!  
Good luck!

General Board / Re: RTF templates...

« on: February 28, 2013, 01:35:15 am »

Hello everybody,

I'm working as well with master/model documents and that works quite well.
I use the master doc for the first page, header, footer information and the table of contents.

In order to get the table of contents you have to set the tagged value 'RTFTemplate' of your master doc to an existing rtf template. inside this template you right click and select insert|Table of Contents from the context menu. That's all.

HTH

General Board / How to use RTF Template custom field ?

« on: February 26, 2013, 03:24:52 am »

Hello folks,

I wonder how the custom field in the RTF editor works.

When I insert the custom field, EA asks me for a field name but I don't know where the field should come from or how it is created.

I searched for info in the EA doc and on the forums but to no avail.

Could someone please help me on this one?

custom>
 {MyCustomField}      <--- where to define this field?
<custom

thanks in advance,
best regards,
Manfred

Hello Konrad,

Thank you very much for your input and the link!
I'm using EA now for several years, but I was not aware that Sparx has added this possibility

That opens a whole lot of new options!  

cheers und servus

Hi Graham,

Thank you for your input!

We have a setup with master document and model documents that refer to the packages to be documented. Each model document has its own rtf template. I'm not sure how to include a search in that case?

Could you please give me some advice?

thanks in advance,

cheers

Hello Marcel,
Thanks anyways for your implication!

Hello Ian,

I had a glimpse at it, eaDocX seems not bad indeed, but I'll have problems to convince my boss to buy it just for that purpose.
Another problem is that we already have a lot of doc generation set up and we cannot afford to rewrite end reconfigure all that.

Isn't there a native way to do that? To me it seems to be a basic need, so I hope Sparx has some tricks in their bag to achieve it, come on...

cheers

Hi Marcel,

I'm trying the following:


element>
  {Element.Name}{Element.Notes} these are the use cases
  connector>
    target>
      element>
         {Element.Name}{Element.Notes}    I want this line only for functional requirements
      <element
    <target
  <connector
<element

here 2 of the filters I have tried:
 - RequirementType    EqualsTo     Functional
 - StereoType           NotEquals    <<Technical>>

The filter seems to be only applied to the outer 'element' scope but not to the connectors elements.

cheers

General Board / How to filter requirements in RTF generation?

« on: February 13, 2013, 12:41:54 am »

Hello folks,

I'm generating a doc that should list all use cases in a package.
For each use case I'd like to list the requirements that are connected to it.
So far no problem.

UC1
- REQ001 some technical requirement
- REQ002 some functional requirement
UC2
- REQ003 some functional requirement
- REQ004 some technical requirement

But I'd like to filter some of the requirements.
Let's say I just want the functional requirements to be listed, how can I do that?

UC1
- REQ002 some functional requirement
UC2
- REQ003 some functional requirement

I tried a lot of approaches, template fragments, Element Filters etc. but to no avail  

Any help is much appreciated!

thanks in advance,

regards
Manfred

General Board / Question about RTF Template Fragments

« on: December 04, 2012, 02:27:21 am »

Hi everybody,

I'm fiddeling with the new feature of RTF fragments for our document generation. But I can't seem to get it to work as expected.

I have a main RTF template to document usecases and would like to list two different types of connected elements for each use case.

Code: [Select]

element>
UseCaseName
  scenario>
    ...
  <scenario
  connector>
    source>
      element>
        One Type of Element, using fragment_A with filter
      <element
    <source
  <connector
  connector>
    source>
      element>
       Another Type of Element, using fragment_B with filter
      <element
    <source
  <connector
<element
I'd appreciate if someone could give me some insight!  
Thanks in advance!

best regards

General Board / Tranformation creating connector, please help!

« on: October 02, 2012, 07:31:04 pm »

Hello everybody,

I'm currently writing a transformation but I cannot seem to get connectors being created between the transformed element and the element that it has been transformed from.

This is my context:
I have one use case "Use Case1" and transform it to a requirement "Req_Use Case1". Then I try to link both using this script:

Code: [Select]

Requirement
{
  name = "REQ_%className%"
  notes = "%classNotes%"
  $reqName = "REQ_" + %className%
  
}

Dependency
  {
    %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE($reqName,classGUID)%
    stereotype="transformedFrom"
    Source
    {
      %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE($reqName,classGUID)%
    }
    Target
    {
      GUID=%qt%%classGUID%%qt%
    }
  }
the requirement gets created, however the dependency link does not.
I would be happy if someone could help me!
many thanks in advance,

best regards

General Board / Problem sharing EA project via SCC / MKS [SOLUTION

« on: February 09, 2012, 09:25:26 pm »

Hi,
well I think I have found the cause of the problem.
It was the fact that MKS applied a code review mechanism to that project and that messed up the SCC interface.

Now I have a project without code review and all is well!  

cheers,

General Board / Problem sharing EA project via SCC / MKS

« on: February 08, 2012, 09:51:16 pm »

Hello everybody,

I've set up a project with source control using the SCC interface and MKS SCC Integration provider.
Everything works well, I can check in/out my packages etc.

The proble is that my coleagues cannot connect to this project/sourcecontrol from their machines.

I checked the version of MKS and everything and we all have the exact same versions.

- As unique ID I select the one I have used to setup the project on my computer.
- As SCC Provider I select "MKS SCC Integration"
On my machine EA shows "#/NisSoft#MDW/MMX/PlugnSign/dev/project/MMX_Model" in the SCProject field but on the my coleagues coputers this field stays empty.

I would highly appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

best regards,
Manfred
