I'm not sure if EA licence terms would allow creating such add-ins.

EA is widely used in Poland and has many loyal users.

So, polish spell checker would be very useful and in consequence this features could increase amount of sales.

Suggestions and Requests / Automatic versioning

« on: July 10, 2012, 08:34:48 pm »

Hi,

I have a suggestion to add a new feature: automatic versioning.

Let's say:
- in Tools/Options there is a new checkbox "Automatic versioning".
- if this checkbox is selected then every single update of any element would also cause checking if the value of field "version" is number (has format x.yy without any other chars)
- if field "version is number, then it's value is increased by 1 (eg. 0.01 --> 0.02).
Additionally:
- if someone is creating a new beseline then he need to provide a version of such new baseline.
- in the form (with version and description of a new baseline) could be also a checkbox "Set version of all affected elements".
- if this checkbox is selected then also with operation of creating a new baseline, version of all "baselined" elements will be set to the version of baseline.

Eg.: When when I'm working on my model all elements are "Proposed" and have version 0.01, 0.02 etc. When my model has been accepted by customer then I create a new baseline with a snapshot of current state of model (Status and version value I can still change manually with Package Control\Update Package Status). This baseline has a version 1.00 and also all "baselined" elements has the same version as baseline.

What do you think about it?

General Board / Re: Alternate path of alternate path

« on: December 19, 2012, 12:01:45 am »

Simply you cannot create alternate path of alternate path in EA.

In my opinion this constraint is correct.
Maybe your first alternate path should be a basic path for another use case?

Bugs and Issues / Re: Timestamp in diagram notes at 00:00:00

« on: August 22, 2012, 09:46:55 pm »

Are you using MySQL database?
I'm asking about it because there is a little bug in MySQL Schema.
There is:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `t_diagram`;
CREATE TABLE `t_diagram` (
[...]
  `CreatedDate` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `ModifiedDate` date DEFAULT NULL,
[...]
It should be:
  `CreatedDate` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `ModifiedDate` datetime DEFAULT NULL,

You can modify schema as below:
ALTER TABLE `t_diagram` CHANGE `CreatedDate` `CreatedDate` DATETIME NULL DEFAULT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `t_diagram` CHANGE `ModifiedDate` `ModifiedDate`  DATETIME NULL DEFAULT NULL;

Uml Process / Re: Re-using Models (Core Solutions and Affiliates

« on: August 07, 2012, 08:37:25 pm »

What do you mean as Core Solution? Is it a structure of packages (Model Template) or something like pattern? Or maybe you would like to create a standard template of model...
In my opinion you should keep in mind that every single project is usually treated as specific project.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Advanced reporting - Summarizing tagged values

« on: September 07, 2012, 12:31:30 am »

I would propose two suggestion:

First: Create sql query that will extract tagged values and then you could summarize values eg. in MS Access or in MS Excel.
I'm not sure if you are able simply put "sum" statement in sql because value of tagged value is String.

Second: Create RTF Template as a table. Report each server in a separate row. After creating a report you can select whole table in MS Word and then paste it to the MS Excel. I've done in this way several times when I have to report data about servers.
The table cannot have more then 16 columns.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: RTF Report ( Bookmarking )...

« on: August 10, 2012, 10:50:49 pm »

Bookmarks are included into the rtf report only if you have unchecked  "Optimize for Open Office" option on the window for generating RTF documentation.
So I need a master document in format .doc or .docx, a generated RTF report with guids marked as bookmarks. And then, as you wrote, you need to select Insert | File... and paste GUID of selected package as "Range".

Currently the only way to do this is manually deleting the relationship in UseCase properties in section Links.
But I would be grateful if someone could indicate how to do it automatically.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: rtf generation

As I understood - you get the name of tag model document > at the begining of the linked document (before the content of this document).
This could happen when your linked document begins with a table or a picture. If you put any normal line (I recommend break line) at the beginning of your linked document then your generated document would looks fine.
BTW, I tried to reproduce this bug on 9.3 version but without "success".

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: I want to generate .csv reports in EA

« on: July 11, 2012, 09:21:46 pm »

Maybe you would like to see the result of your .csv report in Excel...

I'm doing it this way:
- generating RTF report as a single table
- selecting all table in MS Word
- copy&paste that table to MS Excel (no more than 16 columns)
I think is a little simler than .csv report.

I'm also interested in that solution.
Anyone know what to set in MDG to show Tagged Values for "Activity" elements?
