Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Version of custom MDG in generated document

« on: January 14, 2023, 12:54:28 am »

Hi EA pros!
Ist there any possibility to insert the version number of a custom MDG into a document generated with templates from that MDG?
I already tried inserting a project constant but these can be modified by users. But I need something that can be used to identify, which version of our custom MDG was used for generation of a document from EA without the possibility to be modified by users.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Find all Items that were deleted since the last baseline

« on: August 25, 2022, 11:18:54 pm »

Hi,

my Model is containing packages with requirements in them as a requirements spec. I am searching for an automated way to list all requirements that were deleted since the last baseline of that model document in form of a text to generate a history of that spec.
Via baseline comparison I tried the option "Show Elements that are In Baseline Only". With that option enabled EA lists all Objects that were deleted or had links (to other elements) that are now missing. That's close to the solution I am searching for. But this list can only be exported as a complex xml-file. This is not suitable to the needs of the users. Is there a possibillity to get a list that shows the deleted requirements like "Requirement 1: Name/Alias, Requirement 2: Name/Alias" and so on? Maybe via SQL search?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How to get the value of "Static" property of an attribute in templates

« on: September 02, 2021, 06:43:00 pm »

Hi,

I am trying to get the value of the property "Static" of an attribute into a document generated with a template in ea. The attribute object belongs to a class in the project browser.
In the template I have inserted the following table:


In the project browser there are three attributes, two have the static property set to true one has it set to false.



In the generated documents all attribute objects are shown as static.


As you can see in the first image, I have used the fields "{Att.Static}" and "{Att.IsStatic}". But the value of both fields is always "true" or "static" for all of the three attributes.
How can I get the value of that property into my generated document?

Bugs and Issues / Deactivate addition of "Run by" and "Checked by" to test results

« on: April 06, 2020, 11:18:39 pm »

If I modify the results of an existing unit test of an element, EA automatically adds a text to the result, saying
"06.04.2020 - Pass
Run by:
Checked by"

Is it possible to deactivate that? Until now, I only found the possibility to modify the result in the notes window. Then EA does not add the text.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Star symbol behind MDG name

« on: April 03, 2019, 01:07:14 am »

Does anybody know the meaning of a star (*) symbol behind the name of a MDG technology in the MDG managment window?
In the company, we are using own document templates, that are contained in our own MDG technology. When adding this MDG to EA an restarting it, a star symbol is shown behind the name of the MDG.

Secondly our MDG appears twice in the MDG Technologies window.
Location of the first entry is "Model". The location of the second entry is the path to our network directory where the MDG is stored.
As far as i know, there should only be one entry?! Why do we have two of them?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Access to "Binding->parameter substitution" in connector properties via JScript

« on: August 27, 2018, 11:21:42 pm »

Hello,

i've got two classes which are connected by a Template-Binding connector. In the Properties of this connector, there is the tab "Binding", where i added some "parameter substitutions".

I need these parameter substitutions from the connector. I've tried to get access to that via JScript, but i don't find the right keyword of the connector class.

I've tried several connector attributes but could not find the right one to get the information I need.
Does anyone know which attribute i have to read from the connector get the binding?

The connection between the classes is made like shown in this tutorial:

Bugs and Issues / Error "-2147217900" after transferring file based Project to MySQL

« on: July 08, 2016, 04:45:33 pm »

After transferring our project to MySql DB I receive the following error when clicking on any object in any diagram:

"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers [-2147217900]

[MySQL][ODBC 5.3(w) Driver][mysqld-5.0.45-community-nt]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Precision, Scale,
Const, Style, Classifier, Default, Type, StyleEx
FROM t_attr' at line 3

Context:
SELECT

LowerBound, UpperBound, Container, Notes, Derived, ID, GenOption, Length, Precision, Scale,
Const, Style, Classifier, Default, Type, StyleEx
FROM t_attribute
WHERE t_attribute.Object_ID = 20243"

I searched the DB for this Item but in the table "t_attributes" there's no object_id 20243.

Before transferring the model to the DB, I started the Project integrity check with "recover/clean" option checked.
I also ran the sql script "EASchema_851_MySQL_InnoDB.sql" on the DB.

After that I used "Project Transfer File to DBMS" to transfer the model to the DB with no errors.

Can anyone give advice on how to fix the error?
