Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Add tagged value types to MDG

« on: October 09, 2013, 07:26:02 pm »

It doesn't look like that works for me... The ID of the MDG and the profile ("Partena BPMN") is exactly the same as the profile package name...

This is the MDG XML.

The taggedValueTypes are in the xml. But if I load the MDG into EA, the tagged value types aren't loaded into the database...

Code: [Select]

<MDG.Technology version="1.0">
<Documentation id="Partena BPMN" name="Partena BPMN" version="0.5" notes="Customised technology for Partena (Based on BPMN 2.0)" supportURI="[email protected]"/>
<UMLProfiles>
<UMLProfile profiletype="uml2">
    <Documentation id="042168B8-4" name="Partena BPMN" version="1.0" notes="Partena BPMN"/>
    <Content>
        <Stereotypes>
        ...
        </Stereotypes>
        <TaggedValueTypes/>
        <QuickLink data="..."/>
    </Content>
</UMLProfile>
</UMLProfiles>
<TaggedValueTypes>
    <RefData version="1.0" exporter="EA.25">
        <DataSet name="Property Types" table="t_propertytypes" filter="Property='#Property#'">
            <DataRow>
                <Column name="Property" value="DescriptionNL"/>
                <Column name="Description" value="Describe the element in Dutch"/>
                <Column name="Notes" value="Type=Memo;BaseStereotype=Activity;"/>
            </DataRow>
            <DataRow>
                <Column name="Property" value="DescriptionFR"/>
                <Column name="Description" value="Describe the element in French"/>
                <Column name="Notes" value="Type=Memo;BaseStereotype=Activity;"/>
            </DataRow>
       </DataSet>
   </RefData>
</TaggedValueTypes>

For me, the solution isn't working...

I tried both suggested methods:
1) Adding the taggedValueTypes to the MDG xml

Code: [Select]

                       </Stereotypes>
                        <TaggedValueTypes>
                              <RefData version="1.0" exporter="EA.25">
                                    <DataSet name="Property Types" table="t_propertytypes" filter="Property='#Property#'">
                                          <DataRow>
                                                <Column name="Property" value="DescriptionNL"/>
                                                <Column name="Description" value="Describe the element in Dutch"/>
                                                <Column name="Notes" value="Type=Memo;BaseStereotype=Activity;"/>
                                          </DataRow>
                                          <DataRow>
                                                <Column name="Property" value="DescriptionFR"/>
                                                <Column name="Description" value="Describe the element in French"/>
                                                <Column name="Notes" value="Type=Memo;BaseStereotype=Activity;"/>
                                          </DataRow>
                                          <DataRow>
                                                <Column name="Property" value="DescriptionEN"/>
                                                <Column name="Description" value="Describe the element in English"/>
                                                <Column name="Notes" value="Type=Memo;BaseStereotype=Activity;"/>
                                          </DataRow>
                                          <DataRow>
                                                <Column name="Property" value="loopCondition"/>
                                                <Column name="Description" value="Description of the conditions to continue/end loop"/>
                                                <Column name="Notes" value="Type=Memo;BaseStereotype=Activity;"/>
                                          </DataRow>
                                          <DataRow>
                                                <Column name="Property" value="conditionExpression"/>
                                                <Column name="Description" value="Describe the expression which controls a flow"/>
                                                <Column name="Notes" value="Type=Memo;BaseStereotype=Sequence Flow;"/>
                                          </DataRow>
                                    </DataSet>
                              </RefData>
                        </TaggedValueTypes>
                        <QuickLink
2) Export and import model resources

In both cases, the new tagged value types aren't recognized in my project. I also don't see them in the list of settings->UML types...->Tagged Value Types...

Only solution for me is to create them all again in my new project

I found a work around by Phil Chudley http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1378478759/1#1

But has anybody already reported this as a bug?? (Otherwise, I will do it...)

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Add tagged value types to MDG

« on: October 08, 2013, 12:22:14 am »

Hi,

I have noticed that my MDG technology generation isn’t working as it should be. The tagged value types are missing in the final MDG xml.
After the stereotypes definitions I find a closing tag for TaggedValueTypes.
</Stereotypes>
<TaggedValueTypes/>
<QuickLink …

I have selected the tagged value types in the MDG technology creation wizard. But because of the <TaggedValueTypes/>-tag, it seems like EA thinks there are no tagged value types available...

Is this a bug in the MDG creation or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Creating a custom toolbox icon

« on: October 08, 2013, 12:16:09 am »

Hi,

I was the 'someone' who asked the question to qwerty This is what I discovered...

The problem was that my *.bmp wasn't in the right format. I've got a program 'Pixelformer' in which I made the bitmaps and when saving the bmp I had to chose a format. Only the format 'A1:R5:G5:B5 (16bpp)' works for EA. This can be tested by importing the images via Settings --> images... . If the image can be imported there, then it will work in the MDG too.
(btw, the background color for icons is wrong in the user guide! You should choose (204,204,204) instead of (192,192,192) to get a transparent background (or at least I had to set it this way in my bitmap creator))

Another problem was that I was working with a hidden toolboxpage (cfr. the toolboxpage 'startevent' in the BPMN2.0 MDG). In that case, you have to add the icon as an attribute to the hidden toolboxpage and don't make a seperate toolboxitemimage like described in the user guide...

Just saying in case you need it
