General Board / Re: Sparx EA - Azure remote app deployment

« on: April 02, 2025, 05:45:53 pm »

I got this guide from Sparx. It shows how to install EA for All Users.

https://sparxsystems.com/downloads/whitepapers/EA_Deployment.pdf

Note: By default Enterprise Architect will install for the Current User. To install for
All Users specify:
msiexec /i c:\easetupfull.msi /q allusers=2

Still, it does not work in my case an I am really curious about how to use the eastartup.cfg as seems to be able to solve the problem.

Code: [Select]

#This is the EA kickstart configuration file that loads early in the EA startup cycle
#Supported input properties are indicated below

#APPDATA2 - a second location to search for ModelPatterns, Workspace Layouts, User Settings
#APPDATA2=C:\eaalt

#USERSETTINGS - overrides use of the user registry for personal settings and other user configurable options
USERSETTINGS=C:\CurrentUser.db

# Enable these Addins.
#ADDIN=Addin1_name:Addin1_class.Main
#ADDIN=Addin2_name:Addin2_class.Main

Haven't got any response from Sparx yet about it.

Thanks for the info.

Still I wonder if this can be solved with the usage of eastartup.cfg, if I only had more info about that.

Im my search I found the file C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA\Startup\eastartup.cfg
which says:

Code: [Select]

#This is the EA kickstart configuration file that loads early in the EA startup cycle
#Supported input properties are indicated below

#APPDATA2 - a second location to search for ModelPatterns, Workspace Layouts, User Settings
#APPDATA2=C:\eaalt

#USERSETTINGS - overrides use of the user registry for personal settings and other user configurable options
#USERSETTINGS=C:\eaalt\CurrentUser.db

# Enable these Addins.
#ADDIN=Addin1_name:Addin1_class.Main
#ADDIN=Addin2_name:Addin2_class.Main
It sounds that this might be useful for my purposes.
I don't find any documentation about this. Does anybody know more?

I am trying to get EA17 set up as a Remote App on an Azure cloud VM.

I can successfully start the application, but registry settings (like license server info) are always lost.
Has anyone managed to set up that thing so that the settings do not have to be re-entered?

Putting the registry settings into
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Sparx Systems]
instead of
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems]
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sparx Systems]
did not help.

Hi Takeshi,

that makes a lot of sense, thank you for your help and effort!

General Board / Re: Is an RJ-45,RS-232 or other comm interface connectors a fullPort or a proxyPort?

@mse, I have a related question posted here: https://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,48395.0.html

I am not sure how to model ports that are on a PCB and reachable from the ouside, meaning I have internal ports (on the PCB), which at the same time are external ports.

I would be thankful for your thoughts over there.

Still, is it really a proxy? Both X1 and C01 are components, but in different contexts, C01 exists on the PCB context, X1 on the device context.
Somehow I don't see how any of them could be a proxy, but I might be wrong.

My question is how to correctly model the first device in SysML, where the external connectors and the internal on the PCB are the same component.

Should I have C01 and C02 as Proxy Ports?

Uml Process / Modelling internal vs. external connectors (solved)

« on: April 08, 2024, 06:17:25 pm »

I am currently modelling a system consisting of several hardware units and have come to the following issue and am wondering how to model the following two setups properly:

I have two devices, 1 and 2.
The internal PCB has two connectors, C01 and C02.
On Device 1, it is mounted in a way that the connectors are accessible from the outside, becoming the external connectos X1 and X2.
On Device 2, it is mounted internally, and C01 is through a cable connected to X1, C02 is cabled to X2.

How do I model Device 1 properly?
