Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Problem with Update method

Update save the changed properties of your EA.Element instance in memory to the database.

If the element is read-only because of locking you'll get an exception.

thank you Geert  , much appreciated

in relation to Element.Update ,

How exactly does this work?
Updates the Element in the database and the model?

What happens when the Element is locked. Does it force Update?

Thank you.

I have solved my problem using a mixture of template selectors and template fragments.

by any chance your Template Fragment used a dynamic input parameter

Just tried this and it works... Almost too simple to be true 

 may i ask where you mapped your release tag  to the filter you wanted to set?

was it in the EXCLUDE Filter , ELEMENT, or OTHER

May I ask further in relation to the UpdateSQL,

Is there an issue, or can a Script user update information if they have a lesser  access permissions than the orginal data Author when using an update SQL ?

for example:

User 1('The Administrator') is , the  data Author  with more access permissions, and created the data in  t_object table

while the User 2 ('The Script user') running an UpdateSQL ( ) script has a lower access permission, and wants to update data create by 'The Administrator'  in t_object  table.

Both users having Update Element permission.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Show/Hide Gateway Label via VBScript/SQL/Other

« on: June 30, 2017, 05:48:24 pm »

thank you qwerty,

I can now  target all Diagram Links within a Diagram with this,

 HDN=0:BLD=0:ITA=0:


Is there a way to target objects  Elements within the Diagram, such as a Gateway's name/label? Does it also have a Geometry attribute?

« on: June 30, 2017, 12:55:42 pm »

Hi Community,

I would like to kindly ask if there is a way to call the
[Hide Label] functionality via VBScript , to target all Elements of type Gateway,
across Diagrams under a Package.

if not, can this be done via SQL script, or via Other technique?

Thank You in advance.
