General Board / Sequence Diagram for VB6 code

« on: November 30, 2011, 03:09:18 pm »

Hi,
In order to reverse engineer and understand a legacy VB6 application(multi layer), I am trying to generate Sequence diagram by debugging the application in EA. However, I can see only the first method call in the SD. The rest of the stack trace is totally missing.

I was successfully able to debug and generate complete SD for an n-tier .NET application though.

Can anyone please provide me the detailed steps to do this for VB6 code as well?

Thanks

General Board / Problems moving requirements from DOORS to EA

« on: March 18, 2003, 10:04:42 pm »

Hi!

DOORS can make almost any kind of file. Including .cvs.  In order to test this, I made an .cvs export, but there is no data ?? I selected a package where I saw a requirement, then I selected <edit/new> from Specification from .cvs, then selected fields : Requirement Difficulty, Requirement Priority, Name, GUID, Type. Then I pressed Save and then Run and View File, but it contained only headers. Similar problem with XML export – XML export process stays blank and the file is not created. I’d rather not to try import before I have made an export – I’d like to find out first the required syntax.

General Board / Cant move requirements external

« on: March 18, 2003, 10:03:03 pm »

Moving requirements external does not work – when I select one and push the button, EA just says ‘there was an error performing requested action’ when I select package ‘View’ from Browse Project Window.

As for version control, it seems to be the same as in Rose

XML control file can be placed (even in Rose format:) ) to a file that can be put to cvs externally of EA.

But what I'd like to see is to make a version of any object and then keep these in version tree. On enhacements there is a note of adding microsofts version control. Will this be on object level like in Rational XDE/Telelogic TAU or still on package level ? Having version control on object level would be great!

1.      Solved by renaming the diagram I just created. It was it that crashed the tool. When I reopened the diagram from EA it worked.

2.      Found it. Thanks!

3.      Moving them external does not work – it just says ‘there was an error performing requested action’ when I select package ‘View’ from Browse Project Window.  Otherwise associating was really neat – drag and drop to it  . MUCH easier than in Rose.

4.      Neat!

5.      DOORS can make almost any kind of file. Including .cvs.  In order to test this, I made an .cvs export, but there is no data ??

General Board / Evaluating EA

Hi!

I am evaluating EA vs Rational Rose (I have extensive knowledge of it) ; but I have some problems.

1. I ran it once, but second time I try run it, it crashes the computer (win2k). Just bluescreen, nothing else.

2. How can one modify rtf documentation formats ? While not bad, I'd still would like to use my styles for them.

3. How requirements can be shared between objects ? I am able to create requirements for one object, but when I try to share them I find no way to do it.

4. How does one take a list of the requirements and the objects that match to them ?

5. My requirements are in Telelogic DOORS and I'd like to import and export these to this tool. How can I do that ?

6. Version control seems to be in package level like in Rose - Am I correct ? Or could it be done in object level ?

7. When the version control is to be implemented, shall there be a way to view different configuraitons at the same time. E.g. can I create version 1.0 from objects a and b and association between them and then create version 2.0 from b and association from a version 1.0 to b version 2.0 and still view both on the diagrammer ?
