Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / ClearCase XML Export

« on: March 21, 2022, 08:47:37 pm »

Hi all,
I am currently using the integrated Version Control Mechanisms for ClearCase version control in EA. In my versioned package structure in EA I have a hierarchical structure where versioned packages contain multiple versioned packages too over several layers. Now I am switching to another version control system which is not supported by EA so I need to export/import and version control the packages manually.

So now comes the problem/question.
I could see, that the xml files which were exported by the CC mechanisms in EA do have a different structure/layout than manually exported xml packages (tried several export options). In the CC exported packages, there are references to the versioned "sub-packages". This information is not available in the manually exported ones.
Is there an option to manually trigger the export mechanism which is used by the integrated CC check-in? Or does anybody know the specific format which is used for CC?
I would like to use this mechanism to export the packages manually and bring them on my new version control system.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Philipp

General Board / EA crash when selecting tagged value with keyboard

« on: July 20, 2021, 06:33:11 pm »

Hi,
I am facing a weird tagged value behavior with EA15, maybe someone else had/has this too and knows how to fix it.

Following problem:
EA 15 stops running when selecting the value of a tag with a dropdown list. This only happens when the value is selected by pressing a key to get the value, e.g. pressing 'f' when you want to select "false" in a dropdown menu. It doesn't happen when you select the value with the cursor. It also only occurs for additional added tags provided by a MDG, for default tags of a element all works fine. It also doesn't happen for all elements and tagged value types - up to now I couldn't identify a clear scheme when it happens.

I am grateful for any advice.

Regards,
Philipp

Hi,
thanks for your feedback. It has helped me a lot
I'll go for the "add permission" solution.

Hi Geert,

thanks for the fast reply.

I now tried the StereotypeEx option and used the GetLastError method.
It really seems to be a permission problem. The GetLastError method shows:

You have not been granted permission to 'Configure new Stereotypes'.

Please contact your model administrator.

I would have thought setting the fully qualified stereotype from the MDG works without this permission. Do you know if this is a known bug? Does it make sense to report it then?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Set element stereotype by script

« on: March 30, 2021, 12:59:07 am »

Hi,

I wanted to change the stereotype of all elements inside a package by using a jScript. In the script I'm trying to set a MDG provided stereotype by Element.Stereotype ="MDG::Stereotype". And here comes the point were I'm struggling - most probably with user permissions.

I know the script is executed since some session outputs are shown. But the stereotype is not set.
Are there any special user permissions needed to set a stereotype in this way? - Doing the step manually, means setting the stereotype in the properties window of each element works fine.
Is it a problem, that the stereotype comes from a MDG and can therefore not be set by script?

I was thinking about, if setting an stereotype by simply assigning a string - like in the script - is only possible with the "configure stereotype" user permission?
Otherwise, instead of setting a hard string as stereotype - maybe there is a way to select MDG defined stereotypes in the script?

Unfortunately I cannot change the permissions to test different settings.

I know this is a lot of unknown details, but maybe one can help me in identifying the real problem.

btw I'm using EA version 15.2

Philipp

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Hyperlink with connection string

« on: February 12, 2021, 12:15:38 am »

Hi,

I am looking for a way to open a connection string to a EA database project from a diagram by use of e.g. a Hyperlink. I know there is the possibility to add an EAP shortcut as Artefact including the connection string but I'm looking for a solution which doesn't create a new Element in the Project Browser. Therefore I thought there is maybe a way to configure a hyperlink with a connection string or similar.

Thanks and regards,
Philipp

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / MDG Link for Doors v3.0 profiles

« on: January 07, 2021, 07:52:45 pm »

Hi,
after upgrading to EA 15.2 I also updated my MDG Link for Doors to v3.0. Now, when trying to import requirements from Doors (version 9.7) I am struggling with the import profiles. When trying to define a profile by clicking "Add" in the "Import Profile Manager" - the "Mapping Options" dialog does not appear. Instead of opening this dialog, Doors curiously opens the selected requirements module in exclusive edit.
Does anybody else have this problem, how can this be fixed, is it possible to create a profile file manually as workaround?
