General Board / Old versions of Enterprise Architect Viewer

« on: November 05, 2024, 10:50:54 am »

I have problem with opening my old model created in version 14 or 15 due to old format, so it would be nice to have possibility to download older version of the viewerwhich is free. But I cannot find older versions of the viewer. Is there any website where it is possible to find and download some older version?

Uml Process / Import DB ends with Unspecified Error

« on: September 06, 2023, 09:05:22 am »

I am trying to import Oracle Database into an existing project. The last import was about 2 years ago
(I don't know if it was a clean import of a new DB or if the DB project already existed in EA and that was the last time it was synchronized with the current database).
Since there have been changes in some tables in 2 years, I would like to update the existing project in EA, at least as far as Tables and Views are concerned.
I have the connections created, I start the import, and everything starts up until I get to the step where the tables start importing/synchronizing sequentially. Everything runs beautifully until at one point the whole process stops with the following "Unspecified error" message. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvjD_mFzlH_Eiqt-BEGRuX6SUK6Hag?e=UJeKNf

Is it possible to get a log from somewhere and find something from the log file? Where would I find this file? Alternatively, if anyone had a similar problem how did they solve it?

Does anybody know how to set the own order of the attribute groups based on stereotypes?

General Board / Re: resetting the numbering of steps in the use case scenario

I may be wrong but I suspect that you are using the use case scenario as a stand-in for sequence diagrams.
You can get the same result more easily by limiting the text description of the use case to just the end result the Actor wants, without reference to the steps to achieve it.  Then append a sequence diagram to the use case - sequence diagrams are perfect for describing steps, special logic, sub (scenarios (fragments)) etc.  Same result, but easier, cleaner and more extensible to changes, new requirements etc!

Thanks for the reply, but I have not thought sequence diagram for this case.

I am searching for the best way how to record use case scenarios of all scopes and to have the best benefit from using the EA

I can only suggest to use structured scenario's instead. It supports just enough to avoid creating massively complex scenario's (with sub-sub-sub scenario's)
We have used those extensively (hundreds if not thousands of use cases) and never met a case that couldn't be solved

If I understood correctly, every step which has nested sub-steps is taken as a single alternate scenario.

However, the problem is also that I can't use text edits like Bold/italic/underline, text color and others within a structured scenario.

Another problem is that if I want to copy the whole scenario to the clipboard, I can't do it as CRTL+A and also I can't delete more than one step of the scenario at a time. It's very hard to edit. Maybe there is more problems, I just wrote the problems that came to my mind now.

Also thanks to Peter and Jim for their reply

General Board / resetting the numbering of steps in the use case scenario

« on: September 07, 2021, 01:08:36 am »

I do not know if it is a bug or feature (if yes then very strange). When I write a scenario with list numbering, then in case of inserting list bullet points (full stop) between 2 numbered steps (as I want to use the second level of structuring within the one-step), then EA makes the reset of the numbering and numbers starts again from 1.

Situation looks like next:

• step
• step

• sub step
• sub step
• sub step

• step
• step
• step

I tried to use sub-steps in the scenario, but the second level of numbering does not exist, so I hoped that bullets can be used inside.

I also tried to use a structured scenario but there is also not possible to do the second level of numbering (or using the bullets).

The only solution I can use is to use manual own numbering (then I can use the second or even third level of numbering), but the problem is if there is a new step inside the scenario, then everything has to be renumbered manually.

Maybe this topic was already solved within this forum (I am new and did not find any).

Could anybody advise how to solve this problem?[/list]
