General Board / Re: Share model components between different projects

« on: August 26, 2016, 04:59:26 pm »

Thanks Peter,

we have build a solution with an automated import and export to the version control system. So far it works as designed.

After developing the solution I found a funtion in the EA: Project | Data Management | Shared Repository
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/the_model_repository/sharedrepositoryrefdata.html

Isn't that also a possible solution for common objects? Has someone experience with that function?

Regard,

Alex

General Board / Scripting - call a Windows shell

« on: August 11, 2016, 06:06:06 am »

Hello,

is it possible to call from the inside of the EA (scripting) a Windows shell (cmd)?
I'd like to call GIT scripts. ;-) and I can't find anything in the documentation.

It is not the question if i can do it from outside (.net or java).

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks Geert and Peter.

@Geert: We are a big company and just migrated from SVN to GIT. It is not possible to get our own SVN island.

@Peter: I think, I don't understand your answer. We have already our own repository. The problem is, that 5 teams are updating the "common objects" in this repository and so you have to update and share it between that teams.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi,

thanks for the comments.

We cannot use our Version Control System because we use git.

So our solution will be to script the functionality without RAS via File ex-/import and merging.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello once again,

so, I have a new situation with my configuration.

Let's say we have "common objects" and share this between different projects P1 and P2.

P1 is adding a new interface I1 to the "common objects". -> Register
P2 is adding a new interface I2 to the "common objects". -> Register

As P2 I want to import the "common objects" and overwrite his I2 Interface.
Because I want to have both changes in the common objects. The only possibility is to create a baseline an merge after the import the baseline in my model.
This is working for me, but can I script this functionality? Because we have several users and I'm sure not all of them will get this complexity.

So concret questions:
- Can I script the RAS funcionality?
- Can I script a baseline?
- Can I script the merge functionality?

Thanks for your answers.

General Board / Share model components between different projects

Hello,

in our company we have a shared model with the cloud services from EA.

The situation is, that we have several systems (70) to document with the EA. Between this systems we have so called "common objects".
"Common object" are public interfaces and shared domain objects.

So we plan to create a project "common objects" which can be included/linked from the other projects.

In my mind is something like two root nodes in the project browser. One node is my project, the other node is the "common object" project.

Is that somehow possible, or are the other possibilties for that issue.

Regards,

Alex
