General Board / Re: Code Generation

« on: August 15, 2007, 09:23:46 pm »

Hi David,

thanks for your fast answer. Does there exist some experiences for creating code out of EA ?
A collegue showed me for rhapsody the possibility to create code directly out of statediagrams by using Visual Studio. Does there exist a similar possibility for EA ?

Thanks for your answers

General Board / Code Generation

« on: August 15, 2007, 06:46:18 am »

Hi to all,

we are using EA quite a long time but only for creating diagrams (like class-, state-, sequencediagrams). Now I played a bit with the code generation functionality of EA.
Is it possible to generate code out of other types than classes ?
Is it be possible to generate code out of sequence or statediagrams directly or by using a (existing) third party product or an add-on ?

Thanks to your answers

General Board / Bug: exporting Requirements with Build 799

« on: October 18, 2006, 03:59:18 am »

Hi I have a RTF-Template like the following:

package >
{Pkg.Name}

element >
Status : {Element.Status}
Version: {Element.Version}
{Element.Name}
file >

{ElemFile.FilePath}
< file

< element
child packages >
< child packages
< package

Since last version is worked correctly and the linked files are exported via ElemFile.FilePath. Now with the new Build 799 most exported Requirements have the text "{ElemFile.FilePath}" instead of the file path! But my model is the same as before and the template, too.

Does someone also can see a behaviour like this ?

Regards

General Board / Re: Problem with RTF template (modified)

We also do have the same problem. But in the build before (798 ) the same RTF-Template runs

General Board / Problems changing existing messages

« on: October 13, 2006, 06:01:03 am »

One problem I have with sequence diagrams in the actual version (798) of the EA is if I select an other messagename for an existing messages and add a prefix for the in the message propertiesdialog it only runs one times. All next changes for other messages will be omitted. Except I close the diagram and open it again. Then it runs one times again!
I´m sure it´s a bug of EA, does somebody also have this problem or does have a better solution ?

General Board / Re: How to model a bussystem with EA

« on: October 13, 2006, 05:50:45 am »

An other idea to solve this problem I have is to put the methods as operations in classes (like my first proposal) and to create a link (association, dependency or something like this) between the classes with the operation names as role description. For this the link between the logical signal and the corresponding physical signal would be modeled in UML. But this is also more an intellectual link.
So for this the problem is to export it in a good way with the RTf Exporter (New RTF Style Template Editor). The Classes and methods have to be in the package where which is exported directly. But this is no variant for me.
If you add the classes in a diagram and select "Document each contained element in RTF" you don´t have the possibility to export the Source and the target of the connector (which is the association between the classes) like in connectors of a package.

Somebody any ideas to achieve this?

Thanx for all ideas

General Board / How to model a bussystem with EA

« on: October 10, 2006, 12:57:04 am »

In the sequence diagrams I want to use logical signal names representing a bussystem like an ethernet or a CAN-bus. But in reality I have different deployments with different busses but with the same sequences. So my problem is to model this association between one logical signal to more than one physical signals depending on the physical deployment and to export this right in rtf.
One idea I had was to use the alias field and to put the signals as methods in classes and to link the classes with associations. But this is only an intellectuel link between the signals.

Does anyone has a good idea ?

thanx

General Board / Exclude details for... in RTF Reports Problem

« on: October 02, 2006, 08:52:24 am »

In my statecharts there are some StateNodes like Choices and so on. But I want to exclude the Choices, Finals, Initial and Junctions. So I opened via File/Document Options in the RTF Report generator (the New RTF Style one) and choosed Choice, Final, Initial and Junction in the "Exclude details for" Part.
But in the Export I already can see Finals and Initial StateNodes. But the Choices and Junctions are gone. Why only the two ones  

If I try the same with a script using RunReport all four are already in the export  

Does anyone also have this problem and found a solution for this or any idea ?

Thanx for your answers
HC

P.S. I´m using EA build 798

General Board / Re: Ignoring Diagram Text/Notes in RTF Docs

« on: October 02, 2006, 08:22:58 am »

Hi,

we also have exactly this problem and we have many other elements without notes that should be exported. But for this time we have to remove the "<anonymous>"-parts by hand.

Thanx in advance, too

General Board / copying UseCases including Scenarios

« on: September 11, 2006, 06:31:59 am »

We have some UseCases which includes a "simple" scenario and many "exception" scenarios. And some other UseCases which should be created are similar to that. So it will be great if someone knows a possibility to duplicate a UseCase e.g. like the menupoint "copy diagram to clipboard" for diagrams. Because it is very laborious to type in all by hand.

Thanx in advance

Bugs and Issues / Re: Maintenance Workspace blocked, possibly bug?

« on: January 15, 2009, 07:57:06 pm »

Hi Simon,

yes I applied a user lock. But the problem seems to be the update of the element in the tree view. You always have to to click an other object and then select back before you could add or modify any properties or adding e.g. any changes to the maintenance workspace after applying a user lock.

Now it works. Thanks.

Bugs and Issues / Maintenance Workspace blocked, possibly bug?

« on: January 14, 2009, 09:51:52 pm »

Hi to all,

We are using EA build 834 and in our environment security is enabled and "Require User Lock to Edit", too.
I´m logging in as Administrator having ALL permissions. But it is not possible to add or modify any items in "Maintenance Workspace" (to bring up Alt+4). If security has been disabled it is possible  :-?

Is it a bug or intended?

Does anyone has an idea which permission should be the right one to set? Assuming something like "Manage Maintenance" but couldn´t be found in dialog.
For quick help which value to add in column "PermissionID" of table "T_SECPERMISSION" or "T_SECGROUPPERMISSION". Now values are going from 0 to 34.

any ideas?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Probs finding out connector position in fragments

« on: January 13, 2009, 12:27:56 am »

Hi,

I´m trying to read out a sequence diagram including some connectors and a parallel fragment. Some of the connectors are inside the first part of the par fragment, some in the second part and others are outside (before and after).

Does anyone have an idea how to say which of the connecors are in which part of the parallel fragment or outside? Without doing it in a graphical way :-)

I tried to read out all diagram elements (called DiagramObjects in EA). for this I saw that the Subtype of the parallel fragment (called combined fragment in EA documentation) is always 3. This corresponds to the fourth entry of the input list in EA (including 0 as the first which is "alt"). But I don´t have an idea how to find the positions.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Linked Files in RTF Documentation

« on: January 27, 2006, 07:30:39 am »

Hi Joel_Melan,
thanks for your answer. Sorry it seems my explanation was a little imprecise so it could be a misunderstanding.
I don´t want to copy some text parts from the linked document into the RTF-Documentation. My problem is that the whole linked document should be copied into the same directory where the RTF-Report will be created and the linke sould be adapted, like the HTML-Creater does.
So you have the possibility to copy this directory on a CD and give it to somebody and he can find all information he needs.
Do you have an idea to solve this problem ?

Thanks
Hans-Christian
