Suggestions and Requests / Request: Online available bug tracker for EA

« on: September 25, 2006, 04:27:03 am »

It's not productive that EA every user stumble across the same bug and ask in this forum if someone can confirm this bug.

It would be nice to have a online bug tracker like at sourceforge to get the information where problems exists and if there is a workaround.

Suggestions and Requests / Manual update : Supported databases for repository

« on: September 06, 2006, 05:31:05 am »

I make this request refering to my topic in General Board

http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=display;num=1157532313

The manual should be updated and all supported databases should be add to the manual.

It's important for users to have a confirmation that EA will work on the desired database.

General Board / Possible Bug in Oracle_BaseModel.sql???

« on: September 15, 2006, 06:15:31 am »

----------------------------------------------
-- Table structure for t_secuser
----------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE t_secuser (

UserID VARCHAR2(40) PRIMARY KEY,

UserLogin VARCHAR2(32) NOT NULL,

FirstName VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,

Surname VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,

Department VARCHAR2(50),

Password VARCHAR2(12)
);

--CREATE UNIQUE INDEX UserID ON t_secuser (UserID);

I have copied the lines above from the Oracle_BaseModel.sql    

The last line is here an comment, but it contains valid sql commands.
Is this a mistake or have someone forgotten to delete this line?

Maybe someone from Sparx can give us the answer.

General Board / Re: Team Collaboration

I have already made a suggestion for export / import bitmap images to xml.

Diagrams are exported to xml but images are lost in the diagrams.

I think this is not really a consistent behavior.

General Board / repository: lock & unlock packages takes very long

« on: September 21, 2006, 05:11:22 am »

Locking a package with 300 elements takes about 3 minutes on oracle db repository.

Can someone confirm this behavior of EA with oracle or a other db?

Thanks.

General Board / Repository: Any Problems with Oracle 10g database?

« on: September 06, 2006, 01:45:13 am »

The manual describes how to create a repository on Oracle 9i.

We have to use Oracle 10g and I would ask if there are any compatibility problems with this version of Oracle.

Maybe someone is using already this configuration?

I also read about some bugfixes in EA 6.5 version which refer to the Oracle DB.

Are there any changes on the table definitions in the new EA Version?

General Board / Re: only one model in a database ???

« on: August 24, 2006, 04:07:41 am »

We have to rent a database server and we have no adminstrative rights on it so it would be a problem to create new databases.

"Root Project Packages" are already used to structure big projects.

The Problem is that you can only define "view packages" in "Root Project packages". In "view packages" you can only define ordinary packages.

General Board / only one model in a database ???

« on: August 24, 2006, 02:28:49 am »

I'm using a postgres repository and I have created a database with the name "EA".

After using Tools -> Data Mangement -> Data Transfer, in a database where a model already exists the old model will be deleted.

Do I have to create for each model a own database, for example "NEW_MODEL" or it's possible to have more models in one database?

A other solution is to have for each project a own package in one model, but if you want to hide information it's not the best way.

General Board / Network error on deleting package

« on: June 07, 2006, 01:44:40 am »

I'm using EA 6.1 Build 790 with a local PostgreSQL 8.1.4 repository.

The configuration of the ODBC-Driver is the same as shown in this manual

http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/EAUserGuide/index.html?setupapostgresqlodbcdriver.htm

The repository works well. Only if i try to delete a package or class an error occours -

"Enterprise Architect has experienced a network error and will close down."

Deleting operations and attributes works without this error.

What's going wrong? I thougth about missing permissions in PostgreSQL but I have granted all permissions to my User-Account.

I can't find the reason for this error.
Can someone give me an advice?

####
I worked out that this problem occurs only on access from my pc to my local repository. Frome a remote host you can access the repository without problems.
