General Board / Re: ChatGPT enabled models?
« on: August 20, 2025, 06:51:00 pm »
Hi Tom,

Any reason why I can't find anything when I search for ChatGPT in the user guide?

In short, it is compatible but not supported.
The question here is, what does that mean?
How is "supported" different from "not supported"?

General Board / Re: Publish to Standard HTML

Given the challenges with the fixed-size HTML table cells in v16, are there any specific alternative modeling tools you would recommend that offer better HTML publishing capabilities?
You could use the same modelling tool, but change the publishing tool to WebEA or Prolaborate

Thank you Geert, just to be more specific we are currently running PCS v5.1.128 with a variety of Saprx EA v16.x builds. One of the reasons for the question is to gather some information/experience on adding Sparx EA v17.x to the mix without upgrading PCS.
I'm 99.9% sure that will work without a problem.

If it were my client I wouldn't even hesitate to install v17.1 and start using it.

My guess is that there is a linked document without content somewhere.

This guess is based upon this line in the release notes for v17.1:

Quote
XMI 1.1 importer updated to improve handling of empty linked documents when using a Native connection to a SQL Server model

I think I had a look at this feature back in version 9 or something and came to the same conclusion.
The noise/signal ratio is simply to high to be useful.
Too bad this apparently hasn't improved enough in the meantime.

I don't know of any official statements, but in practice EA is very good in maintaining compatibility between versions.
In fact so good that they will explicitly warn you when this is not the case.

This exactly what I thought you meant. But can the connection to PCS be configured to support MFA when user connects to PCS using Windows authentication? What about WebEA?
I don't know. Our users are already logged in into windows with the correct credentials, so PCS doesn't need to log them in (or use MFA)
WebEA is a different case althogether.

No, couldn't make it work, so I switched to using a database user, and encrypting the shortcut file (or use PCS)

Geert
Is PCS supposed to work with MFA? I posted the same question in the PCS forum with little success.

I mean that PCS uses a database user to connect to the database. Users connect to PCS using windows authentication.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: GraphQL - import/expot

Hi Paolo

Please check out our latest update: "GraphQL support for Sparx EA"
We’ve now enabled Power BI integration for Sparx EA using GraphQL.
@Arshad, can you stop spamming the forum with your non relevant adds?
It's not because you happen to use the same technology, that your solution is somehow an answer to the users question.

I'm guessing you are looking for a way to set a fixed background color for these stereotypes?
That can be done in a shapescript.

I't's kind of hard to edit that into an xml file (and editing the xml file was kind of a hack anyway) so I think you are better off creating your own steroetype derived from the C4 one.
In that case you define your own shapescript that defines the background color hardcoded.

General Board / Re: Cannot get image decoration to render in ShapeScript
« on: August 11, 2025, 09:00:53 pm »
If you don't give your decoration an orientation, EA won't know where to show it.
From the examples in the manual:

Code: [Select]
decoration mail
{
     orientation= "NE";
     image ("icon image", 0, 0, 100, 100);
     // "icon image" being the name of the 16x16 image which is loaded into the Image Manager
}

General Board / Re: Can no longer post SQL Statements to this forum
« on: August 11, 2025, 06:41:09 pm »
Hi Eve,

I'm not sure if disabling this feature will really decrease the security.

"SQL Injection prevention" such as the one in Cloudfare is nothing more than a stopgap for already broken systems.
If the forum software is written correctly (and I suspect it is) then it doesn't allow SQL injection anyway. Not by filtering, or blocking certain characters, but by using parameterized queries.

Filtering or blocking certain specific characters (or charachter sequences) is not a "real" solution to SQL injection.
If you are not comfortable to disable this feature in Cloudfare, you should really not be comfortable to be using this forum software and update/change is ASAP.

Those are obviously not standard use cases.

There might be something in the stereotype definition that forces this.
Can you post the shapescript, and stereotype definition from the UML profile xml?
