Bugs and Issues / Re: Performance: Get All Latest takes too long--42

« on: December 22, 2010, 12:48:38 am »

>>Architects could benefit from a function that allows them to get all the latest for a particular branch, rather than an entire project or single package.

This can be solved by a simple  script calling Package.VersionControlGetLatest(true) for all packages recursivelly.

But I vote for supporting this functionality directly by EA too.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Version Control Settings Problem

« on: December 01, 2010, 07:33:38 pm »

Hello,

to clarify such strange situations it's usually usefull to check the staus of the corresponding XML file in SVN and the status of corresponding package in repository (table t_package column packageflags -- filter it by ea_guid of the package).

Try to write this info back to this thread...

In our environment we have installed both TortoiseSVN and svn package.
But I'm not sure if it is necessary...

Bugs and Issues / Types of activities' parameters

« on: October 11, 2010, 08:37:53 pm »

Hello,

How can I change (extend) the set of types provided for activities' parameters?
Setting the language for Activity doesn't seem to work.
Is it a bug?  (v. 8.0.863)

Thanks

Bugs and Issues / Re: Data Model - bug on saving the diagram

« on: April 01, 2010, 05:31:14 pm »

We have the same experience.
This is quite a old bug, but still not resolved.
The behavior is completely undeterministic, the same steps are OK one time and cause a bug you described (losing method) second time.
We have not found out any steps order that will succeed always.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Copy and paste between projects?

« on: October 29, 2009, 11:05:50 pm »

I think your problem is hidden in this sentence

"..have been working on different copies of a Design Model in EA"

It means your project has elements with the same identification  (ea_guid) and after import (without strip guid) you have rewriten the contens of the model where you import into.
You can avoid this by setting Strip Guid option when importing,  but then you will have the same elements in model twice (with different guid).

actaully I have to merge 10 projects with the same origin into one and it really is a battle if you don't want to loose any information.

Bugs and Issues / Tagged Values and UML profiles incosistences

« on: October 29, 2009, 10:37:02 pm »

Hello,
We have found some inconsistences in working with tags and UML profiles.
We have an UML profile called "Struts_Profile" distrubuted by MDG distribution XML/mts file.
There is defined a class "Struts Action" and its reference tag called "ActionClass". The relevant XML piece is bellow.
We have problems with version 849 of EA, since the behavior is getting strange. We have the following mixed states of tagged values for Struts Action Classes.
1) Some Action Classes has a tag called "ActionClass".
2)Some Action Classes has a tag called "Struts_Profile::ActionClass"
3)Some Action Classes has a tag called "ActionClass" and by turning on showing full names we see "Struts_Profile::Struts Action::ActionClass"

When we add a Struts Action from toolbar  it behaves as  3)
When we add tagged value manually it behaves as  2)
Some older classes (created in preavios versions of EA) has 1) or 2)
and the selection of reference class is not always working.

What is the correct behavior, and how to achieve the same behavior for all classes?

Thanks for any hint.
If nobody could help I will ask Sparx directly.

Bugs and Issues / Search Term limited in length

« on: October 17, 2008, 06:31:20 pm »

Hello,

the search term is limited to 26 chars. Is there any reason for this?
I have not found any discussion about this on this forum.
In some situations it's quite limiting. For example we try to search the GUID which is longer. (so we search the substring for now -- but  that has not to be unique)

Thanks for any idea

Bugs and Issues / Linked Document -- broken links

« on: October 07, 2008, 06:49:21 am »

When I use a linked document (EA v.7.1.832) and drag&drop some element on it to create a link to this element from this document than after saving and reopening the document the link is broken -- it doesn't jump to the element in the tree.
The same efect I see when I copy the content of the document to the MS Word and that copy it back -- the links are broken even when I have not modified them (... I do it to chage the label of the link, since EA doesn't enable it.)

I'm not sure but I think in some previous version of EA this worked ?!
Has anybody the same problems?
Thanks for any feedback

Uml Process / Re: Handling pending changes

Yes I do agree and I'm not happy with that too.
It seems the speed is more distinguishable competitive benefit than the quality :-/  .. if the systems works "somehow" the difference in quality couldn't be distinguishable at all...
