General Board / Re: Unlock a Block element

« on: January 18, 2018, 11:31:31 pm »

This model is on my laptop and only accessed by me.

This is the only Element showing a red exclamation mark. At this point, I would just like to remove it.

When I right-mouse click on the block, the "Delete" option is disabled.

I have not enabled Security on this model.

Thanks,
Angelo

It is shown with a red exclamation mark.

I don't think I turned version control on. How can I check?

Thanks.

General Board / Unlock a Block element

« on: January 18, 2018, 08:33:34 am »

I have created a new model and have an element which is showing as Locked.

I do not recall locking this element and did not intend to lock it, of course.

When I right mouse click on the block in the Project Browser, it does not allow me to delete this element nor to unlock it.

I should also mentioned that I have not enabled security on the model. I looked at unlocking it via SQL to no avail.

Can someone chime in as to how to unlock it OR how to delete it?

I am using version 13.

Thanks.
Angelo

General Board / Bill of Materials (BOM)

« on: March 28, 2017, 10:50:26 pm »

I have a model which contains BDDs and IBDs. I would like to see if anyone has produced a Bill of Materials (BOM) from their model using a report template.

The BDDs have multiple blocks, as you'd expect, and includes multiplicity between blocks, attributes, etc.

Any pointers in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks.

General Board / Document Generation - Fragment - Custom Query yields blank

« on: March 09, 2017, 12:42:33 am »

I have created a document template and am trying to include the results of a fragment into it.

I go through the steps to create the fragment without any issues. The fragment is composed of a very simple custom query (select name from t_package).

I then inserted the fragment into the template as shown in red below.

When I generate the document, the package names do not show up.


Thoughts?

package >
Package: {Pkg.Name}
{Pkg.Notes}

{Template - MyFirstTemplateFragment}

diagram >
Diagram Name: {Diagram.Name}

{Diagram.DiagramImg}
< diagram
element >

Element: {Element.Name}
constraint >
Constraint: {ElemConstraint.Name}
< constraint

custom property >

< custom property

embedded elements >

Constraint Params   Parameter   Type
{EmbeddedElement.Name}   {EmbeddedElement.Default}   {EmbeddedElement.Classifier}

General Board / Creating a chart showing the number of Use Cases, Activity Diagrams, BDDs, etc.

« on: September 22, 2016, 12:22:42 am »

I have been able to create a chart showing the number of artifacts/elements created by each modeler updating the model. That works very well.

Now, I would like to know if there is a way to create a chart showing the number of Use Cases, Activity Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, BDDs, etc. in a diagram.

I have a model which includes several models within it; it would be great if I could graph the above by individual model.

I have SQL statements retrieving the data, but would rather see it as a graph.

Thanks in advance,
Angelo

General Board / Re: Relationship matrix for Nested model

« on: April 26, 2016, 03:26:14 am »

Thanks Geert. I will have to look at it and modify it to list the Actors and the use cases that they are associated with.

Correct, different root packages.

I think it would be best to go with the SQL query option. I typically write my own, but need to be better versed in the DB schema/entity relationship diagram for EA.

Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt response.

The issue is that the Use Cases are in multiple models so I am not sure how I could "limit it to only Use Cases". That is, I have Use Cases packages in several models.

Have you done it using SQL queries? please share any thoughts you may have.

Thanks again.

General Board / Relationship matrix for Nested model

« on: April 25, 2016, 08:50:08 pm »

I have a model which contains other models.

One of the models has all my actors while the other models (several) contain the Use Cases.

I would like to create a relationship matrix that has the Actors as the source AND the Use Cases as the target.

Each of the models has a "Requirements/Use Cases package".

I would like to only include the Use Cases packages and NOT the entire set of artifacts in all the models.

Is there any way to create it using the Relationship matrix functionality?

Perhaps the best way to do it would be via a SQL query, has anyone done this before? if so, please share any thoughts or SQL queries you may have.

Thanks.

General Board / How to include relationship matrices in an HTML report?

« on: April 25, 2016, 08:35:00 pm »

I am looking to see if there is a way to include a relationship matrix in an HTML report.

I know how to include the relationship matrices in an RTF report, but not an HTML report.

I can certainly save the relationship matrices as PNGs and then create diagrams in which I would then drag and drop the PNGs.

Ideally, I would like to include any defined relationship matrix in the HTML report automatically as it is done in the RTF.

Thanks in advance.

General Board / Re: System of Systems model example

« on: February 12, 2016, 10:04:17 pm »

You have made the wrong assumptions when you state that I am looking for something for free or have not thought about it.

Models, as most other engineering artifacts, have been worked, thought about, etc. I am just looking to see what others have done, lessons learned, and "not re-invent" the wheel.

I would kindly ask that you do not respond to my post.

Thanks.

General Board / System of Systems model example

« on: February 12, 2016, 03:39:32 am »

All,
I am designing a System that utilizes other Systems in order to then offer a single solution; this is a system of systems (SoS) solution.

As such, I am looking for examples of models showing an SoS solution. Especially around BDDs and IBDs although I am also including requirements, use cases, and activity diagrams.

Thanks.

General Board / Re: IBD - How to add ports?

« on: January 21, 2016, 12:13:33 am »

Peter,

Thanks for the information. I am not only looking how to add the ports to a block which I had figured out already, but more importantly How do I add the ports to the system boundary? that is, I would like the port to show up at the system boundary and not on the actual block as shown in Figure 13 I referenced on the post.

Thanks again,
Anye

General Board / IBD - How to add ports?

« on: January 20, 2016, 01:40:35 pm »

I have created a BDD for which I need to also create an IBD. As such, I would like to add ports to the IBD as shown in figure 13 in the PDF file (http://www.omgsysml.org/A_Practical_Approach_for_Modelling_Submarine_Sub-system_Architecture_in_SysML-Pearce_Friedenthal.pdf).

I know I can add a port right on the block, but I would like to see if I can add ports at the boundary as shown in figure 13 in the PDF file (http://www.omgsysml.org/A_Practical_Approach_for_Modelling_Submarine_Sub-system_Architecture_in_SysML-Pearce_Friedenthal.pdf).

Have you done so in Sparx EA? if so, please provide me some details.

Thanks in advance,
Angelo
