Bugs and Issues / Re: Copy/Paste and crash issues

« on: March 01, 2018, 01:15:45 am »

When I try to copy a diagram to the clipboard with format Metafile and then paste into MS Word or Paint only one or two elements in the diagram are copied. But when I switch format to bmp the copy-paste works just fine.

The quality of the BMP image does not appear to be as good as Metafile so I would like to figure out how to get the clipboard copy feature working with Metafile.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

General Board / Adding to the list of exportable"Available Fields"

« on: February 05, 2013, 06:20:40 am »

Is there a way to add to the list of available fields that one can export to a CSV file? In particular I would like to export an object's "RunState".

Bugs and Issues / What does a password-only prompt mean?

« on: April 06, 2013, 10:09:23 am »

A coworker of mine -- I’ll call her Mary -- is trying to access an EA model, which we have set up in a shared database repository. Security is turned on for this EA model and Windows authentication is enabled.

Whenever Mary attempts to open the EA model, she is being prompted to enter a password, just a password, and no user id.

Several users, including myself, have successfully installed the EA client on our workstations and have managed to open the EA model (stored in the DB) without any issues.  

I did try a couple of things but still was unable to resolve.
(1) I deleted Mary’s account from the EA  project and then re-imported it from our Active Directory (using EA’s account import feature)
(2) I deleted Mary’s account and created just a local account (i.e., one that is not part of any Domain)

My latest guest is that the problem might have something to do with the AD domain that Mary’s account is part of. All the users and even the DB server that hosts the repository are part of Domain “Alpha” but Mary’s account is part of Domain “Beta”. Could this be the source of the problem?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

P.S. If I can figure out how to post a snapshot of mary's screen to this forum I will.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Automatically transfer DBMS to .eap

That was it! Thank you very much Q.

What confused me was that the EA application requires that the target file exists before you do the transfer.

Thanks again.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Automatically transfer DBMS to .eap

« on: March 16, 2013, 07:47:38 am »

I tried to write a similiar script to transfer from .eap to .eap but I get the following error in the transfer log file:

Data Transfer Failed due to any of the following reasons
1. Source File is not existing
2. Target File is already existing
3. Target File is not an EAP File because Target should be an EAP in AI

What is strange is that I was able to perform the transfer -- using the exact same source and target files --- using the EA client application

Here is the C# code:

Code: [Select]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using EA;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
   class Program
   {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
          
           EA.Repository repo = new EA.Repository();
           EA.Package package = null;

           String mySourceFile = "C:\\TEMP\\MyFirst.eap";
           String myTargetFile = "C:\\TEMP\\TargetFile.eap";
           String myLogFile = "C:\\TEMP\\MyFirstTransfer.log";
           repo.GetProjectInterface().ProjectTransfer(mySourceFile, myTargetFile, myLogFile);

       }
   }

}

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Lousy Subversion (svn) Performance Undo Check

« on: March 07, 2013, 08:40:16 am »

Disregard my last post..

After some experimentation, I do see now that the DB (i.e., EA's repository) does in fact get updated with a user's last set of uncommitted changes.

So now I do understand why, for an undo check out, there would need to be a bunch of DB txns to delete elements and refetch the last good ones from the SVN repository

I am slowly grasping the inner workings between EA, SVN and the DBMS repository so please bear with me...

Why would an undo check out have a lot of DB transactions?

When I select the "Undo check out", the SVN client should be instructed to just discard all uncommitted changes and all the uncommitted changes should just exist locally in my SVN Working Copy.

What am I missing?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Lousy Subversion (svn) Performance Undo Check Out

« on: March 07, 2013, 07:25:06 am »

Performing an "Undo Check Out" of a single package takes a really really long time and my users will not be happy.  I find the lousy performance odd since a regular "Check out" and "Check in" go pretty quick.

Is there anything that can be done to improve performance?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Why does adding packages to version take so lo

Thank you all for taking the time to respond.

Just knowing there are others who have seen this strange behavior makes feel better. I will continue to investigate and promise to post if I learn anything interesting.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Why does adding packages to version take so long?

« on: March 06, 2013, 09:40:49 am »

When I add a package to (subversion) version control it takes a very long time for the action to complete.

Based on the progress window that is displayed by EA, when I add a package to version control, it seems to get stuck on the part where it is "versioning file"

FWIW, when I do a regular XMI export it takes less than a second to complete.

I am using a plain svnserver.exe server configuration.

Any ideas?
