General Board / Re: Unrecognized database format

« on: September 27, 2004, 05:31:27 pm »

Well guys, I have to fess up and plead a fleeting moment of lack of proper troubleshooting.  The issue was that when we committed our project files to CVS, the binary flag wasn't set and the files became corrupted.  I should have suspected this  when the files came out of CVS at about 3 KB for a somewhat signficant project.  My fault guys, thanks for the response.

General Board / Unrecognized database format

A co-worker and I are sharing EA projects and are having issues opening each other's work.  When we try to open each other's project files we get an "Unrecognized database format" error.  We are both on v4.10.737 although I have a registered version and she is still on the evaluation version.  Has anybody else seen this?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Automated Report Generation options

Yeah, that was kind of the point of me asking the question.  Instead of maintaining two seperate documents, I'd like to put it all into EA and have it generate the equivalent of the excel output.

I did what Tjerk recommended above, but that only gives me a single listing of the use cases, which is nice but I need a matrix style listing (use cases down the left column and their properties along the top - description, scenarios etc...)

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Automated Report Generation options

« on: September 30, 2004, 06:08:38 am »

I am a newbie to EA and have attempted to peruse the help contents to find the answer to my question, but nothing popped out at me.

We currently maintain Use Case diagrams in EA and the full Use Case descriptions and meta-data in Excel.  Keeping these two synchronized is a pain, but we like being able to see (in the Excel spreadsheet) a listing of all use cases by package, use case name, priority etc...

Is there a way to generate one tabular view of all use cases contained within a project from the use case diagrams in EA?  So far the closest I've seen is the report view which only lists the current diagram and doesn't inlude all the columns we need.

Is the only way to do this to plug into the automation engine and manually generate this report?  Or export to XML and use XSL to generate the report?

Any help or pointer in the right direction would be great.

Thanks in advance.
