Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Picking up transition Signal Parameters into State Machine Guards

« on: September 24, 2019, 11:32:51 am »

Hello,

I was trying to find a way to use a variable sim.a == 1 in a State Machine Transition Guard (where all elements in the state machine are in javascript) where the "a" in sim.a is a parameter value from the signal that is trying to create this transition. When I use "sim.a" or "this.a" in the Guard Expression, it does not pick this value up from one of the signal parameters which is also represented by "a".

Any thoughts?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Simulation of a state Machine

« on: September 17, 2019, 05:13:37 am »

Hi,

Is it possible to fire a simulation for a state machine where if it possibly encounters 2 different paths, it takes one path, completes the simulation, then restarts the simulation to the same state where it encounters the same state and takes the other path instead.

I know one can manually select the trigger from the waiting triggers list and choose the alternative path in the next run, but doesn't Enterprise Architect have a built in mechanism wherein it can automatically cover all transitions without any manual intervention?

Thank You

I think it can be the classifier element type of an InteractionOccurrence Element (which is the element type of a reference in a sequence diagram )

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Inserting text into a table cell EA through API

« on: September 11, 2019, 10:38:26 am »

Hello!

I was wondering if it would be possible to insert custom text into a table cell in a custom template while automating document generation.
I checked https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/automation/document_generator_interface_class.html but I did not find much.

Thank You!

Which SQL table contains the "Return" Type of an Interaction Element listed under the Properties>Behavior (in GUI Mode)?
I learnt that Properties>Behavior>Parameter values can be queried from t_xref. 
But I am not locate which table has Properties>Behavior>Return type of an interaction element.

Thank You!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Search Bar in SQL Scratch Pad Greyed Out/ Disabled

« on: September 07, 2019, 05:38:20 am »

Hello,

I tried taking a basic look into the SQL database in EA, but the search bar in the SQL Scratch Pad is greyed out or disabled for some reason and it does not let me type anything into it.
I have the EA Ultimate Version. I think I might have to do a setting change for this, but I couldn't find anything online.
Any leads would be appreciated.

Thank You

Thank you Geert!

As per resources online, I tried accessing the SQL Table within EA, but the Search bar in the SQL Scratch Pad is greyed out / disabled for some reason.
Do you have any idea if I should be changing some settings to enable this search feature ? I could not find much online.

Thank You

Thank you Geert!

Is there a link to how to frame this query? Or a Sparx Systems documentation that has information on all the parameters in in the different SQL Tables for an Enterprise Architect Model?

Thank You!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Accessing the versions of a diagram through API

« on: September 06, 2019, 06:11:18 am »

Is there a way to find out if a given diagram has multiple versions of itself in the repository through API?

The one way I thought of accessing the package which 'owns' this diagram and iterating through its diagrams to see if there ones with the same name and with a different version (diagram.Version). But this I figured would be inefficient and would like to know if there is a more direct approach to checking if there are multiple versiosn fo the diagram API-wise.

Thank You
