General Board / Working with profiles

« on: June 24, 2009, 05:18:04 am »

Is there a good way to replace a stereotype in a large model. It has currently a bad name we want to improve.  What is the best way to do this?

Is there a way to find 'orphan' stereotypes? This are stereotypes which are not based on a profile (anymore)?

General Board / XMI import/export to RSM

« on: June 24, 2009, 04:18:36 am »

I'm looking for some guidance regarding model imports and exports between RSM and EA.  Is there somewhere an overview of things which work and don't work? Especially the way towards RSM seems not to work well ....

General Board / Re: Multiplicity specification for operation param

Currently EA doesn't allow these to be added to operation parameters.

Are there any plans to add support?

General Board / Multiplicity specification for operation parameter

« on: May 22, 2009, 07:18:09 pm »

How can I specify the multiplicity of parameters in operations?

A parameter is according to the UML superstructure a MultiplityELement. A MultiplityElements has the following attributes:

• isOrdered
• isUnique
• / lower       --> lower bound of the multiplicity
• / upper      --> upper bound of the multiplicity interval

It seems to me that all these attributes cannot be specified for operation parameters.

General Board / Create a diagram with the result of a search ....

« on: May 21, 2009, 03:33:03 am »

I would like to create a few diagrams showing specific views on a big model using the result of a search (find in project). Somehow I can't figure out how or if this works.  
Or is there a nice alternative?

Can somebody help?

General Board / Re: Component Instances and Interfaces

Just found out that the interface in the instance shows up as an embedded element if the checkbox 'show owned / inhereted' is selected.

General Board / Component Instances and Interfaces

« on: March 15, 2007, 12:51:54 pm »

Hi

Let's assume I have a component 'MPEG Decoder' which provides an interface 'Analog-Out'.

I want now to specify two new components which both have the MPEG decoder as a subcomponent and provide the interface 'Analog-Out' too - a DVD Player and a DVD Reorder.

I embed a MPEG decoder instance in the DVD Player and DVD Recorder components. They show up without an interface ....

I would now like to show the wiring of the Analog-Out interface of the respective MPEG decoder instance in the DVD Recoder and in the DVD Player.

How do I get a the Analog-Out interface of the  MPEG decoder instances?
Is this the wrong approach? What is the correct approach?

Regards
Christian

General Board / Binding of parameterised classes

« on: February 25, 2007, 03:58:37 am »

  The EA user guide defines how template classes are defined.

I'm looking for advise how to visualize the binding - I don't see the values for the template patameters. Who has a hint?

Regards

Bugs and Issues / Re: Version 9, Build 904 Crashes

« on: May 18, 2011, 04:14:44 am »

I have now used EA 9 (build 904) for some hours mainly checking features we use in some of our larger models. So far all worked as expected - I only onw problem when I tried to generate a huge report as a PDF directly. I got the error message 'run out of memory' ....

Bugs and Issues / Bug EA 9 - generating multiple RTF reports fails

« on: March 23, 2011, 03:09:27 am »

Seems that there is no option to report a EA 9 Beta bug directly ... versions stop with EA 8  

If I select RTF Documents under Resources and the try to generate all or many reports together (Generate Documents ..., Generate All Documents ...) then the path and file name are not considered for the output (generates to .RTF).  Selecting single documents and then selecting auto generation shows the same failure.  If I use 'Generate Document' then the correct path and filename shows up.

Bugs and Issues / UML Profile - <AppliesTo> section missing

« on: July 26, 2010, 05:01:50 pm »

When I create a profile and add new stereotypes than I see often the problem that that the <AppliesTo> section is missing in the generated UML Profile.

Is this a known issue?

Bugs and Issues / Re: EA V8.0 - Doc Generation

« on: April 30, 2010, 04:46:12 am »

I have submitted a priority bug together with a small model consisting of three classes and two diagrams which demonstrates the bug that in case of nested elements only the root element is reported along with diagrams.

I hope this gets fixed as we are setting up a large modeling effort at work where we would like to use the added use case modeling functions but where we also need to be able to run the already defined reports.

I have also the effect that for diagrams the elements are no longer reliably reported. In some cases all are shown - in others a few - in others none. Nested elements are more often affected than others.

If I switch back to EA 7.5 everything works as expected.

There is a checkbox in the dialog for embedded elements (popup menu for the instance) which makes 'inherited' interfaces visible ...

I just tried to import th CMOF / XMI files as well but that did still not work. Who has done that with EA so far?
