General Board / Re: FK association arrows - how to remove them

« on: October 07, 2010, 10:35:33 pm »

I use a regular class diagram (with arrows) too for data modeling but I have no problem to change the direction as 'unspecified'.
What I experienced before is that if it is greyed out, by simply editing Name for example, Direction isn't greyed out anymore.

I'm glad now (thank you Geert) that by using a datamodeling diagram, you don't get the arrows, but the classical "crow's feet" notation.

You can obtain this notation also in a regular class diagram by editing the properties of the diagram (Connectors, Connector notation, use "Information Enigineering").

Do you realise the version that you are using was released only 6 days after the post that you are replying to and is over 2 years old?

You could try version 9 and see if the behavior is any different in the latest version.

Now I do. Thx!

I want to know how it shoud behave, not if it behaves differently.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Datatype mapping inconsistent

« on: May 27, 2011, 12:18:10 am »

Apparantly this bug isn't fixed yet in version 7.5.843.
Is there somebody out there who can help me understand this mapping?
I've defined a custom database and datatypes, created (or tried to create) a mapping from the DB2 datatypes to this custom datatypes. But when I change the database of my tables from DB2 to this custom database, the datatype of the attributes isn't converted.
The datatypes are defined in t_datatypes. Which table or algorithm is used for the mapping?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: "Repository.SQLQuery" operation returning xml

« on: December 10, 2009, 08:24:55 pm »

It works fine like this:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
string xmlData = xmlstring;

doc.Load(new StringReader(xmlData));
String ea_guid = doc.DocumentElement.InnerText;
m_ele2 = Repository.GetElementByGuid(ea_guid);

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / "Repository.SQLQuery" operation returning xml

« on: December 10, 2009, 03:41:19 am »

Hi,

I'm using the "Repository.SQLQuery" operation to get the Object_ID from table t_Object.
The operations returns a string in xml format like this: <?xml version="1.0"?><EADATA version="1.0" exporter="Enterprise Architect"><Dataset_0><Data><Row><Object_ID>682</Object_ID></Row></Data></Dataset_0></EADATA>

How can I read the value of the Object_ID, i.e. 682, in this string?
I would like to use it for the Repository.GetElementbyID(int) operation.
I tried XMLReader but this reads xml from a file, not a string.
