Suggestions and Requests / Re: SSKeyStore tool

« on: September 10, 2008, 10:14:34 pm »

Indeed, I think that Sparx has simply other priorities and does not need to "hide" the structure of the license file.
But, as long as they continue providing us with such great improvements in the EA tool, we may live with that prehistoric license server...

Hello,

We have the same issue and need. In particular there are several user profiles (analysts, developpers, testers, senior users) that have a more or less intensive usage of the tool and we have to way to measure it and to anticipate the need for an upgrade.

So we second any demand for a reporting tool!

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Floating licenses server

.... and using such a mechanism would allow to keep easily track of the floating license usage and to make graphics of the usage (average and peaks).

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Rich text for use case scenario documenting

« on: September 05, 2007, 06:33:37 am »

As a matter of fact, I think that it would be a good eough if we could add sorts of tags to defined the markup to be generated (as in html, latex, or old email systems).
For example:
_underscore_
*bold*
- bulleted list with hyphens
* bulleted list with bullets
TAB for indenting the paragraph
... maybe a few more.


I even think that more than this would be too much. As Geert said, all the text is important and the attention should not be driven away by fancy markups. In addition, the presence of many style buttons would clutter the element window.

Definitively: plain text with markups.

Suggestions and Requests / Export color scheme with reference data

« on: May 31, 2007, 11:13:40 pm »

When Status Types are exported, the colors are not saved in the file. Hence it is a burden to keep a consitent color scheme across projects, especially if you define a number of status types.

Suggestions and Requests / Sharepoint integration

« on: February 06, 2007, 06:40:59 am »

Hi,

I experience difficulties while trying to open an EAP file from out sharepoint (2003) site. In fact, EA does not fully support sharepoint and operates on local cache copies of files. This is opposed to the MS tools which work nicely on sharepoint folders as if they were network folders.

I'm forced to download/upload the document when I want to edit it.

Any solution

General Board / Re: move package under version control

« on: June 27, 2008, 05:35:11 pm »

This procedure will allow to move the packages in the EA project browser. But the location of the files in the VC system will not reflect the new structure.
I have the same problem using TFS: I don't know how to safely move packages in the VC repository (eg using visual studio) without losing their history. How to let EA know that the packages have moved no a new place?

General Board / Re: Using RTF with Tables

« on: September 11, 2007, 10:21:01 pm »

You should try:
element >
connector >
target >
element >
(begin table)
-----------------------
| Connectors
|-------- (new row) -----------------------
|{Element.Type} | (new column){Element.FullName}|
|--------- (end row) -----------------------
-----------------------
(end table)
< element
< target
< connector

I didn't test but from my rtf experience it should do what you expect (inccluding the fact that the "connectors" section will appear iff there are connectors to show).

Bugs and Issues / Re: Space before bullets in generated RTF

« on: June 19, 2008, 10:50:21 pm »

The issue is in the generated RTF:

blah blah
{\pntext\pard\plain\f1\fs20 \'b7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\ls4\ilvl0\pnhang\pnf1{\pntxtb \'b7}}\ls4\ilvl0\fi-375\li600\sb220\ql line 1\par\sb0 line 2

The first bulleted line has "space before" (sb) set by \sb220 (11pt)
The next line has it set to 0 (\sb0)

I had a look into the EA SQL repository and found no stored template for this in the t_rtf table (it is a table that stores some templates of RTF fragments) :-?

Maybe someone knows a workaround ?

I had this checked before my first post, of course ;-) The 11pt verticale space appears clearly in the RTF as an attribute of the first bulleted line (in MSWord: Format->Paragraph->Spacing->Before).

Bugs and Issues / Space before bullets in generated RTF

« on: June 19, 2008, 09:33:48 pm »

When I use bullets in element notes then, the first line is preceded by 11pt of vertical spacing. Does anyone know how to disable/tune this behaviour?

I want:
blah blah
* line 1
* line 2

Instead of
blah blah

* line1
* line 2

Thanks

Bugs and Issues / Re: EA & MS SQL very slow

« on: March 04, 2008, 01:23:42 am »

We had a similar issues, the cause was a mixup of EA 6.5 and 7.0.  The latter is much less verbose with DB.
