PCS Frequently Asked Questions / PCS on Azure App service?
« on: December 13, 2024, 02:01:29 pm »
Is anyone running PCS on Azure App Service?

If so how did you install PCS (given you can't run a ".msi")?

Suggestions and Requests / Project Browser move enhancements
« on: December 05, 2024, 05:50:41 am »
We are just dipping our toes into the world of EA 17.
Hoping that there might be minor usability updates, ho hum.


The Move (cut / paste) function is a useful feature, but ...


You can still only select and cut one item, yet you can drag and drop many tiems.
Suggestion: allow Move to cut and paste multiple selected items.


We all agree the root notes are odd, and unnecessarily feature restricted, so here is another one.
I can drag from a Project (folder) to a root node, but I cannot Move from a Project to a root node.
Suggestion. Enable Move paste to Root notes

Bugs and Issues / EA responsiveness
« on: October 23, 2024, 01:52:28 pm »
We are running the latest version of EA 15, with direct DB and PCS connections.


Regardless of which way we connect EA can sometimes take many seconds to respond to a simple RMB click.
(and Windows will grey the screen out with the message (Not Responding) in the title bar)

Does anyone else observe this, or have suggestions for how to investigate this?


AFAIK both the DB server or PCS server are very lightly loaded.


thanks

General Board / Import JSON API description
« on: August 28, 2024, 01:10:18 pm »
I wish to import a API description in JSON (EA 16.1) .

Its seems in theory I could do this with the Schema Composer or REST API 2.0 add-in for Sparx Enterprise Architect - Sparx North America (sparxsystems.us)

When I install and enable the REST MSG it does not appear (e.g. RMB > specialise  on a package or diagram.

The Develop > Schema Composer > The Schema Importer | Enterprise Architect User Guide (sparxsystems.com) does not include JSON in the types it allows to be opened!
(JSON is mentioned at The Schema Composer | Enterprise Architect User Guide (sparxsystems.com))

Am I dreaming or what?

This is a suggestion for SparxSystems to provide the latest stable (non-beta) version of EA in the Microsoft store.


This would make it very easy, in our enterprise environment, to install and keep up to date our version of EA in a modern way.

Bugs and Issues / EA stability
« on: June 26, 2024, 06:02:06 am »
With EA 17 in the pipeline my wish is for more stability, and optional phone home error reporting
(those long in the tooth will recall this from some time back).


My experience is that EA disappears (crashes) without any warning (i.e. crashes are not caught and no error message or log file is created) at least weekly and generally several times a week (EA 16.1.1627).


The purpose of this post is is ask if you observe crashes and at what frequency.

PCS Bugs and Issues / PHP security
« on: June 19, 2024, 09:10:57 am »
Recent PHP security issues (CVE-2024-4577) mean we need to urgently update to PHP 8.3.8.
Is anyone running PCS on this version of PHP and is it working OK?

(and its a nuisance that XAMPP releases seen to be running so far behind)

General Board / UML Type user security permission
« on: May 16, 2024, 02:38:18 pm »
What is the user security permission I need to set to allow users to define 'Tagged Value Types' (under 'UML Types').


thanks

Using EA 1627 I observer that the Azure Icons and Images date from Nov 2022.


These are in many cases
Product Name Changes | M365 Maps
well out of date

Are there any newer version available or downloadable?


thanks

Bugs and Issues / Applying legend autocolour to Hyperlink entities
« on: December 22, 2023, 09:39:32 am »
I appear to be able to apply fill, line colour, and line width to some types of hyperlink entities, e.g. those with external hyperlinks, but not those linking say to diagrams (which is weird in itself).


When I try to do this using legend autocolour based on tagged value tyles (defined in UML types) nothing happens
- bug or feature?

Bugs and Issues / Images with transparent background.
« on: December 13, 2023, 07:28:02 am »
When an image with a transparent background (e.g. .png)s is pasted from the clipboard to a diagram the transparent background displays as black. (16.1).
Does this happen for you?


The images is pasted as a boundary, so I tried setting the boundary to solid with a white background, to no effect.


The same thing happens when I paste as an image asset, changing the fill colour has no effect.


Any ideas?

Bugs and Issues / Diagram display of connector alias and name
« on: December 12, 2023, 10:59:03 am »
In diagrams properties  we have set
  • use alias if available
In preferences Diagram Behaviour we have set
  • Alias usage: alias and name
This means that enties display the (alias) and name,
but connectors, do not,
is this a bug or a feature?
How can I get both the connector (alias) AND name to display?

Bugs and Issues / SVG and WEBP as image asset
« on: December 08, 2023, 06:38:01 am »
When I drag a .svg, or .webp file to create an image asset the menu item is missing.
Is it possible that EA does not support SVG or .webp as a format?
