Suggestions and Requests / Project Transfer Functionality in Automation I/F

« on: February 12, 2008, 03:34:21 am »

I have noted elsewhere in the forums that people want to be able to perform "save as" functionality from the automation interface.

What I would like to have is the functionality in the "Project Transfer" facility made available in the automation interface.

I get around it at the moment by copying a blank eap file, exporting XMI and re-importing into the blank model. Not pretty but it works.

General Board / Re: EA and Serena Dimensions CM

Hi, I don't log onto the forums very often but spotted your post. I have been succesful in the past at getting EA to work with Dimensions. You need to get your Dimensions Admistrator to log on to the Dimensiosn Admin clinet and add "EA500" to the IDE_PROJECTS set in the valid set definitions. Howver this has to be added to every Dimensions Product as these definitions are scoped to Products. If you put it in the GENERIC product then all new products created thereafter will have the value in. Give thata try and let me know how it goes.

You are right - if you don't have Citrix then its too heavy an investment. Regarding data I thought it was yours as it would reside on your employees laptops.
I didn't read your first post close enough but you say that you have had some success with getting license via a VPN connection which sounds the most promising way ahead. The issue seems that if you don't have some network connection to your license server you will have to rely on the check out and expiry facility - or buy standalone licenses.
The EA floating license manager is still a good way of maximising license usage.

Hi

One way that you could consider is delivering EA across Citrix. We have tried this and it works very well. ie you host it on a central server against your floating licenses and users log in remotely to use. Performance is fine and with proper configuration you can have access to all your lcal disk drives. You can also have centralised model as well using a database for your models.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / SysML and 7.1

« on: September 24, 2008, 01:18:36 am »

Does anyone know of any issues using the SysML addin with 7.1?
When I create a SysML diagram I no longer get a context based toolbox. If I load in the example model this is still there. Also I note that it gets very upset if there are no packages but I guess that is sensible.

Sorry everyone - I'd forgotten that I'd already raised this and it had been answered.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Missing SysML toolboxes

« on: October 24, 2008, 03:14:13 am »

When I create by SysML model and add a SysML diagram I don't get the appropriate toolboxes available. When I open the example model they are all there under MDG Technology for SysML.
Does anyone know why that is?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Event to say EA has closed

Thanks to everyone for their input. I fear that the exact event that I require is not there but there are always ways!
Bittercoder - my application is not closing EA - it just wants to know when it has closed.

Midnight/KP will experiment with the EA_Disconnect and EA_FileClose.

Thanks again for everyones response

This is an external program rather than an add-in and I want to know when EA has been closed. Will that still work?

Is there an EA event you can hook into to capture that EA has been closed?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: CreatingModel Method

« on: November 23, 2006, 06:25:31 am »

Okay.
I have no EAP file at all to open and I wish to create a new one automatically.
I subsequently then wish to launch EA and open this EAP.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / CreatingModel Method

« on: November 23, 2006, 05:36:36 am »

I am looking to create an EA model using the automation interface and have spotted the CreateModel method. However it doesn't seem listed in the documentation. Is it supported and can anyone tell me what the parameters mean ie
(EA.CreateModelType CreateType, string FilePath, int ParentWnd)
