General Board / Re: Requisite Pro intergration/import

« on: February 08, 2007, 01:00:47 am »

Hi,

I'm kompletly new on such topic (create an Open Source project). I will definitly ask some developers to join such activity. I guess sourceforge is a good idea.

Hi Nara,

I seeking of a kind of online sync'er between EA and RequisitePro.

I didn't know about RaQuest. The point for me against it is, that it is an Extra Product with extra licenses and maintenance costs. So, I excluded it already, but was thankful for the information.

The manual sync is a starting point to cope with.

The professional version of a sync'er is actually soething were compnies earn a hell a lot of money with. So, I don't expect get something for free here

Open source ... cool idea ... better then having nothing or to do everything alone. Do you habe a space / place for this? Please keep me updated.

CSV Import / Export . Good point. This seem to be manual daily work back and forth. But the merge problem ... hmhm

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 ;-).

General Board / Re: Depth of Sequence Diagrams reverse engineered

« on: February 08, 2007, 12:55:52 am »

How do you actually generate thes sequnce diagrams   ?

For me the following actions were non-intuitive:

- Together offers to generate Sequence-Diagrams for a certain method without any necessary preparations. The difference however is that Together generates a sequence diagram from a static point of view, i.e. the code is not executed. EA executes the code and generates a sequence diagram while debugging from the actual runtime behavior, which is more accurate and more desirable. Therefore I prefer the approach of EA, but I still had to figure out, that I need to configure the Package and Build Script and especially the Debug script.
- There is no good documentation or tutorial on how to do this. If I search for "Sequence Diagram Reverse Engineering" in the Enterprise Architect Help, there is no direct useful search result.
- When I check the page "Debugging Assemblies" it seems that the displayed information is wrong or does not work like this for me. This especially applies to the question where to put the variables. I got my projects to work, when I put the variables in the field "Enter class name..." and not like shown in the page in the "Enter any run time variables..." Possibly the help page only applies to dlls and not exes?

I would like to stress that the purpose of this issue is not to complain how non-intuitive reverse engineering of sequence diagrams is, but instead to request information how I can configure the depth of these automatic generated sequence diagrams. Help with this is appreciated.

Cheers
Frank

General Board / Re: Code Generation Get Set Constructor De~

« on: February 04, 2007, 11:44:49 pm »

Hi Simon,

modifying the templates seem to be the way.

I'm using C++ and C.

Is there a usable description available too?

I'm using 6.5.803

Thanks

General Board / Code Generation Get Set Constructor De~

« on: February 02, 2007, 06:35:11 am »

Hi, I'm just trying to do something with the code generation of EA 6.5.803.

I generated two classes and an association between them. OK, that fine. (That's also fairly simple)

I tried to implement in the code generation templates the corresponding get and set function for the member variable to access the other class.

Furthermore I tried to improve the constructors and destructors of classes by initializing member variables.

If I model e.g. int index is initialized to zero, then this is just in the model and not in the code.

Do I expect too much? Can I do this on my own? If yes, how?
:-/

General Board / Want to Import Rational Software Modeler

« on: November 24, 2006, 04:26:44 am »

Hi,

I'm importing an .emx file from Rational Software Modeler. I'm using 800 Version of EA.

I'm surprised how good this works.

But I get in the log file also error reported. Thats really good because I know now, that there are issues.

Since my log file is short, I paste anything into this forum:

General Board / Roundtrip Engineering and Visual Studio settings

« on: November 27, 2006, 02:19:35 am »

Hi,

I want to reverse engineer with EA, do modifications with VST and code generate with EA.

My Solution in VST contains some projects. These projects havin different compiler and linke settings.

For Roundtrip Engineer I want to take over these settings in EA.

How to do this?

Uml Process / Re: Is a Association a Method?

« on: November 27, 2006, 01:28:57 am »

An Association is a link between two objects.  It is definitely not a method.  Therefore, one would not find it in the project browser.  Links appear as a line between the two objects in a diagram.  As normally implemented in code, and depending on the navigation directionalities, links appear as attributes in the associated objects.

I'm really surprised to hear that RSM treats associations as methods.

MY fault   associations are shown as attributes (not methods). Sorry for the confusion.

Uml Process / Is a Association a Method?

« on: November 24, 2006, 06:54:08 am »

 

I used Rational Software Modeler and want to import a model to EA.

RSM handels Associations (simple Associations, or Aggregations, etc.) as Methods.


Is this actually correct?

In opposite EA presents Associations different. Neither the Project Explorer shows Associations nor shows Associations as Methods.

Furthermore I can't see Association at all in the Project Explorer.

Where can I see Associations?

What's wrong here?

Thanks for your help.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / sskeystore interface for licenses checking avialab

« on: February 14, 2007, 04:48:00 am »

Hi,

I try to set up something that counts how much of my floating licenses hold in the ss key store (sskeystore) are used. Maybe also who acually used it and also maybe ;-) how long the license was used.

Actually it would be splendid to automatically query every 6 hours how much licenses are checked out.

Any suggestions? Thanks for you help.
