PCS General Board / Is there something like a access log in Prolaborate?

« on: June 09, 2022, 06:06:56 am »

Do you know if there is something like a log file or something similar recording the access logins? or the new sessions or something where you can monitor which users access and when? or any way to enable it? (in Prolaborate)

Bugs and Issues / Workflow script doesn't work in EA16 (CanEditTag)

« on: May 25, 2022, 01:45:17 am »

A workflow script tested and working since v 13.0 to 15.2 doesn't work in EA v 16. It seems the workflow event is not triggered in v 16.

You can reproduce the issue with this simple code in a workflow script:

Code: [Select]

option explicit

public function CanEditTag( TagName )
Session.Output("TagName="&tagName)
Session.Output("MetaType=" & WorkflowContext.MetaType)
CanEditTag = true
end function

Public Function PreAllowTagUpdate(TagName, OldValue, NewValue)
PreAllowTagUpdate = ""
End Function
You can note in previous versions the event is triggered and you can see the output in the System Output window. Now, you don't see any output. The event is not triggered anymore.

Bugs and Issues / Tag value dates display calendar depending on regional settings

« on: March 19, 2022, 02:25:56 am »

When you use Tagged Value Types and define one of them as "Date", the tag value displays a calendar when you click it so you can set a given date.
But, if, for example, your regional settings in windows are set as dd/mm/yyyy and you store a date as 04/03/2022 (march 4th) and another user in a different computer has a regional setting like mm/dd/2022, the calendar component assume the date as april 3rd.

Is there a way to deal with it, preserving the regional settings of the users?

General Board / Re: How to design MDG with tag values for Class and Operations

« on: November 20, 2021, 08:09:21 am »

You put the operation in your toolbox like any other stereotype. Now you can drag it onto your class and the stereotyped operation is created.

q.

Thanks @qwerty ! it works like a charm!

General Board / Re: How to design MDG with tag values for Class and Operations

« on: November 20, 2021, 01:01:01 am »

You create a stereotype extending class and one or more stereotypes extending operation.

Thanks @Eve, but how can I make the new Operations created into the Class extends certain Operation stereotype? (avoiding changing manually the stereotype for each operation after creation?)

General Board / How to design MDG with tag values for Class and Operations

« on: November 19, 2021, 01:27:30 pm »

Hi, I'm trying to create a MDG Profile with the purpose of creating a new kind of element called 'MyElement' with a set of predefined tag values, as they normally work: a Metaclass for Class and a Stereotype called 'MyElement' extending the Metaclass.

But as the Operations in a Class could have tag values, I also want my stereotyped element to have some Operations inside, and each Operation to have some predefined tag values (each operation has different values in the tag values, and the element has its own tag values).

When you create a Profile diagram in EA, you can add Operation as Metaclass.. but who extends Operation? 'MyElement'? or 'MyElement' extends Class? or extends Class and Operation?

General Board / Re: Predefined settings for EA environment AWS based?

« on: July 09, 2021, 05:49:57 am »

Try moving the EA client software to the cloud as well, and then serve it using RDP, or Citrix, or similar.

The main bottleneck in a setup like yours is the roundtrip connection to the database server. Bigger and better machines on the server side won't make a big difference.

Geert

But have you noted that Sparx now offer Cloud ready environments (with Prolaborate added), so, according to you, those environments used in the "common" way, will be slow too?

General Board / Predefined settings for EA environment AWS based?

« on: July 09, 2021, 03:39:01 am »

I plan to set a EA environment (floating licenses, PCS free features) plus 10 users working from home, by deploying a mysql database in AWS and a Windows Server to install keystore and PCS.

I had set some "cheap versions" of these environments in the past, but the performance is not good (delays in response time and EA freeze)

I suppose many of you have done something similar. Have you found a minimal aceptable infrastructure in AWS that have a normal EA response? (I mean, wich version of MySQL server, type of windows server, etc)

Thanks in advance.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Linux error: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX

« on: May 14, 2021, 09:10:01 am »

Looks like a warning. So you eventually may ignore it.

q.

In fact, the installation of EA seems to be fine, but it is impossible to connect to Cloud Server based repositories. It throws an error after input the Cloud Server info in the connection windows. It shows an alert dialog showing only the following text:

[0x800a0e7d]

So I decided to check one by one the steps in the installation, so I noted those warnings and try to solve it.

PCS General Board / Where can I change the default page of PCS?

« on: May 01, 2021, 09:33:38 am »

When you use the free features of PCS, and you access via a browser to the server:port where you set it up, you can find a simple web page with something like:
---
Sparx Systems Pro Cloud Server v4.0.33
Congratulations, your server is now ready to host your models. Connect through the configuration client to add or remove models.

If you haven't already, download Enterprise Architect from https://www.sparxsystems.com/
---
Is this text in any place I can change? I would like to hide some sensitive information in order to fit security requirements (hide the app name and version). Is this possible? where is this page or text stored?

I have a client planning to have 100 EA floating licenses and 100 Prolaborate Licenses aprox. Is it possible to install all EA server side components (Keystore server, Pro Cloud Server, WebEA and Prolaborate) in cluster? do them support active-active or active-pasive clustering?

General Board / Re: Unidentified user when moving the EAP file from disk

« on: February 08, 2020, 12:49:02 am »

@Paolo, I recommend you to:
1) open your previuous model (in the database, before transfer)
2) create a user with password
3) transfer again the model to the eapx file
4) login with your new user

« on: February 08, 2020, 12:07:38 am »

You can hide all the connectors for the current diagram (there is an option for that in the diagram properties dialog), and then use the diagram filter with the option "Relationships" ir order you can see the related elements for a selected element in the diagram.
