Bugs and Issues / Re: Is there any chance to get baselining and comparison to work after somany years?

Next try with a transfered feap file shows for the compare the problem with the notes is gone as well, but the "Visibility/Scope" issue remains.

And an other thing! When I do the compare with an exported xea file, at least the problem with the "notes" and carriage return is gone!

I just find out, that when I do the same thing on a SVN controlled package the "Visibility/Scope" "public/not set" difference is in addition as well shown on my elements/requirements!

Maybe "Visibility" is stored in a "Scope" filed in the DB for whatever reason.
But anyhow it is not just a display issue!

The compare shows a difference without changing anything.
On side it shows "Visibility/Scope" is set to "public" (what the dependeny relationship is by default) and on the other side, it states that the value is "not set" at all, and therfore it shows a difference.

Further on, the "Notes" are sometimes shown as different (even not changed) and this seem to happen if a carriage return is in the text.

For sure both ar bugs. A compare of unchanged things should just show nothing.

Even worst! Now the new snapshot feature has the same problem.
To say something positiv, at least it uses the same wrong code!

By the way the problem exits in the same manner for the new stnapshot feature in V17 as well!😒

After many years I gave baselining and comparison a chance again.
This feature if working would be very valuable, but it does not.
I have a package with flat requirements in it have dependency relations to other elements within the model.
Creating a baseline and comparing it directly afterwards shows me that anything has changed, but of course it is not.
All requirements indicate changes in dependencies, and the reasons as far as I this is that in the baseline the model “Visibility” attribute is stored as “Scope” attribute within the baseline by mistake:
Further on, several requirement elements show differences in notes which does not exist and this seems to be related to kinds of carriage return handling different in the model note in relation to the xml-file

Bugs and Issues / Re: Document generation broken in v16.1

« on: July 29, 2025, 11:18:43 pm »

Now I generated my PDF's within Citrix running on an Windows Server, and this without the problem that only about 60% of tha pages are used.
So it has something to do with my Win11 together with V16, because with V14 it works on my Win 11 as well.
Any ideas on that?

Stange!
This one I use among others as well, with the same problems!
So maybe it has something to do with company windows installation.
Sparx support, do you know if some kind of windows installed dll's are involved in the PDF generation process?

That is interesting!
I am pretty sure it is not my template because if is fine for word and rtf and when using a system template I have the same problem for PDF’s.
Can you tell me which build and which package (32 Bit or 64 Bit) you are using?

I tried to use the Jama integration via ProCloud Server. I looks like as I could establish a connection, but the System Output tells me “No sub-menus returned for Jama”.
I am pretty sure there are elements in Jama I can access, but I have no idea what “sub-menus” mean here.

Any idea on that?

Furtheron I found a youtube vid from the EA Global Summit 2024 were Nizam was involved using a Jama Plugin for EA.

From which source I could get this plugin?

Anyhow any newer version still uses only about 75% of the page size when generation pdf's.

Might look graphically nice, but it is from my perspective neither an ULM nor a SysML state machine!

Well, I think you could achieve that be composite states.
I have already modeled several controllers, processors and FPGA’s but following this approach would lead for me to composite states in composite states in composite states,….
Therefore, I build a state machine tree based on invocation states, and so I do not have the goal to show all on one diagram. Instead, I add a “Composite Diagram Link” to each called state machine. The bad thing in EA is, that it allows for whatever reason only setting the diagram link before the invocation is defined.
By the way, for all that stuff I never had the need to use “Entry” and “Exit”. Those elements I only need in very very exceptional cases.
