General Board / link web sites to data flows

« on: July 12, 2012, 05:40:48 pm »

Hello everyone!

I'm using DFDs and I am trying to link a web site URL to a data flow (arrow) and I do this form "generals" in te menu that I get double clicking on the Data flow.
The problem is that when I export my project in HTML EA put a string like "file/" before the URL I have linked so the link doesn't work!
This doesn't happen with processes!

Any suggestion?

General Board / edit HTML template

« on: June 25, 2012, 07:50:36 pm »

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to customize the HTML report in order to visualize in the report  information not included.
Specifically I need to understand the #CONTENT# function and how to edit it. Even more specifically I would like to show the "contents" of the process selected and the "contents" of its parent in the same table.

Thank You

Hello everyone!
I'd like to know if it's possible to link a document to a dataflow (in a data flow diagram). I tried to create a link form the properties' menu but it didn't work  :-/, any suggestion?

Thank you!

In a Data Flow Diagram I can set a process as a child of another process (ctrl+i). When I drag the parent process and the child process in a new diagram it appears a white arrow linking parent and child. I can manually delete it but I'd like to know if there is a way to hide them all automatically.

Hello
I would like to know if there is a way to automatically hide parent arrows in every diagram

Thank you

Can you tell me which are the functionalities of the Port? What does it do exactly?
thank you again!

General Board / Parent/Child diagrams (again)

« on: March 30, 2012, 01:38:25 am »

I want to describe a system and its subsystems. I start with a context diagram like this: (images are not in EA)


Then I want to have a new diagram (a child diagram) where there is a decomposition of the ProcessBox in two new processes, like this:


As you can see the data flow arrows are the same, in the first case they are from the parent process, in the second case from one of its subsystems

Is there a way to do somenthing like this in EA?

P.S. I tried to use the function Composite, but I can't change the arrows 's "from" in the subsystem diagram

thank you for your answer!

I'd like to know if it's possible to do this also with the Processes (in DFDs), not just with the Activities. I tried to do what you suggested with the activities and it worked, but the option "show composite" it's not selectable from a Process.

thank you again!

General Board / Parent and child DFD

« on: March 27, 2012, 09:22:24 pm »

Hello everybody!
I'm using the trial version of EA.
I would like to define a Context Diagram (a DFD) for specifing the external entities which "my system" exchange data flow to.
I create a new DFD Diagram representing the first level decomposition of "my system":
I create a process named MyProcess
I create an external entity named MyExt
I create a data flow named MyFlow

Then I would like to perform a functional breakdown of MyProcess in 2 child processes in another DFD. In the new DFD MyFlow should connect MyExt with one of these 2 child processes. How can I do that?

Thank You

Bugs and Issues / URLs in HTML report

« on: July 16, 2012, 06:23:53 pm »

In a Data Flow Diagram I link a web site URL to a data flow (in "generals" in the property of the data flow)

When I make an HTML report of the project, instead of the link to the web site, there is a link to "file/C:/..." before the URL, so the link doesn't work.
This doesn't happen with processes.

Is it a bug or is normal that EA behave like this?
