General Board / Web link to be open in new tab

« on: October 10, 2017, 11:25:39 pm »

Hello
Is there a way to put in a link to be opened in new tab?

I have an element with some notes. One of them is a link to external web page, using the Type Web Site on the Hyperlink details
Work OK when i do HTML export
I want that link to be open in a new tab. I have tried the <a target="_blank" href="dsdsdsdsds.com"> but it is not good, Sparx encapsulates the link in it's own <a> </a>

Any idea how to do this? Possible? Without script?

General Board / Keystore and AD - AM_ACTIVEDIRECTORY (Solved - kind of)

« on: October 06, 2017, 01:52:31 am »

Hello
Another issue I have, now with Keystore and AD
In my setting file for keystore i have following:

AUTHMETHOD=AM_ACTIVEDIRECTORY
AUTHMETHOD_OPTIONS=Mylovelyusers

The AD group "Mylovelyusers" exists and i'm a member.

When i start the service (i have tried system account and also my domain account where i'm admin on the server) in the log file i see this:
...
[SYSTEM]: [ACTIVEDIRECTORYGROUP_AM] SUCCESS: Initialised. Naming Context: 'LDAP://DC=XYZ,DC=ABC,DC=EFG', 1 Group(s) added.
....

when i try to connect to the keystore from my Sparx it is not working, the log file messages are:

[WARNING]: [ACTIVEDIRECTORYGROUP_AM] WARN: Authentication failed. Group 'CN=Mylovelyusers' not found.
[SYSTEM]: [ACTIVEDIRECTORYGROUP_AM] WARN: Authentication failed. User 'myuser' is not a member of any permitted groups.
[WARNING]: WARN Client from XX.YY.QQ.ZZ was denied authorisation. Reason: User 'myuser' is not a member of any permitted groups. Please contact your SSKS administrator for further details..

Any idea? What did I do wrong?

General Board / Sparx CLOUD (NOT PRO) and IIS

« on: October 05, 2017, 01:45:15 am »

Hello guys
Got a problem. I have 2 Vms. Both have MSSQL, both have the same Sparx Cloud service version. Both have self signed certificate, same user rights, same settings of IIS and Sparx Cloud. Using same ports.
I have managed to set up the Sparx Cloud on the VM1, successfully connected to the repository using HTTPS, all good
On the VM2 it is not working. Same setting but on the connection to the cloud repository i'm getting error:
Target cloud service is incompatible with this version of Enterprise Architect.
Please contact your System Administrator to request an update to the service.

Note: I'm using the same Sparx EA client to connect to both VMs.

Any suggestions?

General Board / WebEA Internal Server Error

« on: July 25, 2017, 03:06:03 pm »

Hello
We are testing Sparx Cloud Pro, version 2 and the WebEA.
The WebEA version is 1.01.1380, we are running in on IIS (version 8.5.9600.16384), PHP 7.1.5
All runs OK, we can access the repository and see the diagrams etc. What is not working are some searches.
I can open the Watchlist summary but each time i click on anything in there (recent discussions, reviews etc) I'm getting 500 - Internal Server Error.
If i just select from the search Reviews or Discussions I'm getting Internal Server Error (without the "500 - ")

It was working all good in the first release of WebEA, now it is not. Any hints?
There are no hints on the issues in the IIS log or the WebEA log.
Thx

General Board / Cannot open repository (MDG not available)

« on: June 09, 2017, 05:12:14 pm »

Hello all
While opening a repository (MS SQL) i'm getting following error:
Access to this model requires the following technologies which are not available: name of MDG
We have 2 custom MDGs in that model, and i think someone changed the settings in the Configure -> Options -> MG technologies (probably)
Main point is I cannot access it. Is there a way around? (possible manual update of the tables in the database, but which one and how? )
Thank you

General Board / Packaging Component and Cloning

« on: March 28, 2017, 03:57:40 pm »

Hello fellow EA users
A question I have for this morning
I have created a Packaging component with some nice content.
Now, i would like to make a new version of it so i went to the new feature of Sparx 13, cloning.
The Cloning is a nice feature, unfortunately works only in some cases, you can clone Archimate packages, but do not try to clone BPMN or sequence diagrams, will not work (or the outcome is terrible)
But my more pressing issue is the Packaging component (package).
When you clone it, it will create a new package with the standard package icon, not the fancy pink component type of icon.
Now, is there a way to change the new, cloned package to a Packaging Component (package)? Not just on a diagram, also in the project browser.
I can change type of diagram or an object but not on a package.
It is even possible? Anyone?

General Board / last modified by...

« on: March 07, 2017, 01:20:07 am »

Hello
Is there a way (an SQL query, we have repository in MS SQL) to find out who modified and object?
I can run a query which will give me time of the last modification, but not by whom. We do have full audit enabled.
Is there a way to have a query like
number of objects modified in last 24 hours grouped by users who performed the modifications

Thank you

General Board / Image Assets again and again

« on: February 07, 2017, 04:04:17 pm »

Hello guys
Here i'm again with my problem: Image + SQL Repository + Cloud
If i'm connected to my repository, stored on SQL server, connected through cloud, I have issues with images. Cannot add new image from file in the Image manager. Getting this lovely error:

Now, i do think that this must be some kind of error
Why would i not be able to add new images using Sparx cloud? why would i need to connect directly using ODBC to do so? There are couple of more situations when we are getting this error, for example when using Model Wizard, trying to create BPMN Business Process, same error.
I had a topic on this before here in the forum but no luck so trying once again.
Please tell me, if you have Sparx 13, repository in MS SQL, connecting using Sparx cloud... can you add new image from file in the Image Manager? Or can you use the Model wizard to create BPMN Business process package + diagram without any error? Is there an issue somewhere on our side, in our configuration or is this a bug, or is this by design? Are you getting the same error please?

Any suggestions?

General Board / BPSim and EA 13

« on: June 24, 2016, 03:40:21 pm »

Hello
Just wondering if the BPSim will be part of EA 13 Beta as there is a option in the ribbon for simulation.
Will it be part of it by default? If yes, from which edition?
Thank you
Maros
