Bugs and Issues / Re: Oracle Provider for OLE DB - can't connect to

Solved. "hostname:port/servicename" is the format for the data source string. An example in the docs would have saved a lot of time.

Bugs and Issues / Oracle Provider for OLE DB - can't connect to 11g

« on: November 11, 2011, 09:50:04 pm »

Hi all,

I want to move things from eap files to Oracle. I installed 11g standard edition on my Win 7 box and followed the instructions on the Sparx website (BTW, it wouldn't hurt if Sparx listed required user privileges, recommended sizes for tablespaces and stuff, ...) but now I got stuck at connecting to the database.

1) Tools -> Data Management -> Project Transfer
2) Select .EAP to DBMS
3) Select Source Project
4) Select Target Project
5) Choose Oracle Provider for OLE DB
6) Enter data source, user name and password
7) Test connection
Busted! ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

The service name as configured in tnsnames.ora is "eastore", which I used as data source name. Maybe this is not what I am expected to enter, but I did not find any hint in EA help, here or through google.

What am I doing wrong?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: XMI 2.1 export format

Thanks, but the extensions are what I need. I'm trying to generate diagrams and currently reverse engineer that stuff to the extent I need. Not funny.

Is the EA XMI 2.1 export format documented somewhere, especially the extensions?

Thanks a lot - success! I tried before, but I had an yet unnoticed typo in the key name. Now after your confirmation that it should work this way I double-checked and found the error.

Best regards

Hello Sethor,

I'm using Geert's excellent tutorial right now. I'm just not sure if I should add the EAAddins key underneath HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems as described, or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400.

In all the examples I saw, EAAddins is at the same level as the EA key, including on Geert's tutorial and the EA Users Guide. Google does not return anything about "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EAAddins".

Best regards

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Registry key question (EAAddins)

« on: October 09, 2011, 04:31:50 am »

Dear all,

I'm currently learning to build C# addins.

The EA User Guide says: "Add a new key value EAAddIns under the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems for single users"

But all I have is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA. Is this the place to add EAAddins?

I'm using EA 9.1 build 910 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Best regards
Johann

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Creating diagrams with JScript - Examples?

« on: October 07, 2011, 06:38:55 pm »

Hello all,

I'm looking for examples for how to create diagrams including elements and relations with JScript, but found only some for dumping diagrams and the like. I'd also consider doing it from outside using the Java or C# API.

Did I overlook something? Has anyone got links to available examples?
