General Board / Moving .eap to SQL Server running on Azure

« on: March 19, 2014, 03:33:28 am »

I'm trying to move an .eap to a SQLServer database running on Azure, but get a Invalid Datasource, Check Configuration Message, followed by a "You must supply a connection name" message.

Here's what I did:
- Created an ODBC Datasource to SQLServer running on Azure
- Used the SQLServer_EASchema.sql to create the EA repo in the database. Script completed without errors.
- Started EA and Connect to server.
- Used the Connection String option to select my DSN
- Provided user credential and initial catalog
- Tested connection. Everything went OK.

Then clicked finish and ran into the error message box mentioned above.

Anything I'm missing here? I'm puzzled by the "You must supply a connection name" message as I seem to have filled out all the required information.

BTW. I used the same DSN to connect to that server with Excel and could access all the EA repo tables, so the connection itself seems to be working OK.

Thanks again. It seems that I'm going to spend some quality time to achieve the thing I want to do . But from a quick glance over the tutorial I get the idea. But I'll start with the fine manual on MDG.

I'm afraid I'm a bit lost here. How would I get "into" the MDG to store something in an _image attribute.

I don't want to get into any copyright issues (I'm using a Sparx provided MDG), so building my MDG as an extension sounds like a good idea, but won't I have the same problem then? The MDG stereotypes don't show up in the Setting/UML Types stereotypes list.

OK, I understand the concept of writing a shape script. I need to do that on the UML Types found under settings. However, the sterotypes listed there don't include the stereotypes from the MGD technologies (I happen to use a stereotype from TOGAF:Principle).

How would I apply my shape script on top of one of those stereotypes?

How would that shape script get the data from the attributes/tags? I'm afraid I'm new to shape scripts. From what I know they only define graphics. Could you provide me a pointer to a starting point?

How do I display only selected tags/ attributes on an element in a diagram?

So for example, I have tagged values ID (e.g. REQ01) and Priority (e.g. M for medium) for a required called "Add Users". I would like to show elements on a diagram like this:

SEQ01 - M

Add Users
