General Board / Re: How to Clear Stereotype

« on: December 01, 2022, 02:43:38 am »

@Geert: I found the xml of the former profile, imported it, unchecked the old stereotype, and re-imported the newest profile. Seems to be solved now. Sure, it is an omission in UI specification. But I guess, not many users are burdened by it. And there is a workaround, if you have good version control.

@qwerty: Using Dbeaver I had a look at t_xref (there is no t_ref) and found the used stereotype by 'Description like "*<the old stereotype>"'. Made a copy of the model and deleted those line. Works great as well. If you want to rename a stereotype that is used often, this seems to be a good method. Also the omission of renaming a stereotype looks like a point for improvement.

@Geert: I am used to <none> profile. But for some reasons its not shown to be chosen. Maybe, because its a stereotype of a connection, not of an element.
@qwerty: Do you mean, I should should access the .qea file as a database?

General Board / Re: feap file as ODBC source

« on: November 29, 2022, 09:39:42 pm »

For now, I have chosen to stay away from .feap files.
Also, it seems to be true, that LemonTree cannot handle .feap files.
Next time I will try to access a .qea file from Dbeaver. Maybe I have more luck with that one.
Or, I will find a way to do feature oriented progress in EA with gitflow like version control using a MariaDB repository.

General Board / How to Clear Stereotype

« on: November 29, 2022, 09:34:11 pm »

I have my profile to import my stereotypes.
Now, I deleted one of my stereotypes from my profile an imported my profile again.
Unfortunately I have not reset all usages of the deleted stereotype prior to importing my profile that misses it.

I could not find a way to reset the stereotype at the using elements.

How to clear the stereotype field of an object, if the stereotype no longer exists in any profile?

Is there someone who has experience with Publish to Joomla?

General Board / Re: feap file as ODBC source

@qwerty Does not work
@paolo what other means than ODBC is possible to access a firebird DB in a file? Using the default admin SYSDBA/masterkey does not work, either.

General Board / feap file as ODBC source

« on: November 23, 2022, 03:36:58 am »

From Sparx for EA16 I can download the EABase1558.feap file.
It is an empty EA repository and Firebird database file that I can open with EA16.
Selecting it in Win10 as an  ODBC Source (File DSN),  for the connetion string, I am asked for a User/Password/Role.

Any idea what to enter there?

Entering nothing does not create the connections. Also SYSDBA/masterkey does not work.

General Board / changing profile freezes elements

« on: October 28, 2022, 03:43:59 am »

I got a working profile that defines a stereotype for a component meta class as to be a Role with the default appearance changed to orange instead of pink.
I placed several such Roles in my model, which has the first version of the profile imported.
Than I changed the working profile, added a stereotype for a datatype meta class as to be a Physical Unit, also changed the default appearance.
Imported that to my model. Answered Yes to the question whether to override the exiting profile of the same name.

But what happened:
The roles fall back to the default appearance.
What I tried:
I synchronized the Role stereotype in the resources window. No change. I tried to change the stereotype of one Role element - no change.
The properties window shows the Role stereotype for that component, but when I open the dialog to change the stereotype nothing is checked. I expected that the role has to show checked, because the properties window tells so. I can check any stereotype but nothing changes.

The solution I found is, to select <none> profile for the problematic element, uncheck the profile name for that element, save. Now I can re-assign the Role stereotype to that element. I have to do it for each of them.

I tried to make a tiny example - tiny profile and tiny model - that resembles the problem. Hmm - no luck, changing the profile worked in the example.

But the change in my working profile still violates at least one not changed stereotype regarding default experience and the ability to newly set the stereotype.

Has anyone an idea what this problem is about?

General Board / EALite to view a MySQL based repository?

« on: October 22, 2022, 02:35:51 am »

Prior to trying it out I'd like ask here.
May I put the credentials of the SQL repository into EALite and than have a look at the model?

If yes: will that work with an SQL repository created and maintained with EA16 as well?
I would suppose: Yes, if the SQL repository has not changed much. Does it?

General Board / EALite for qea files?

« on: October 21, 2022, 11:38:17 pm »

Just downloaded EALite and was not able to view an EA model created by EA16 in a .qea-file.
Does someone know, whether I downloaded the wrong EALite?
Or what is the plan about EALite at Sparx Systems?

Related topic: is someone aware of a transfer from an EA16 generated qea file to an eapx file?

General Board / Problems with EA16

« on: October 14, 2022, 02:55:50 am »

New to EA16, I found two problems:
1. Connecting two classes on a class diagram with an association and than change the custom line style to Bezier. Logically the connection is still there, but it disappears.
2. Selecting and moving Note links is not possible.

I wonder whether I am the only one.

General Board / Integrate helper functions to EA

« on: April 02, 2022, 04:55:22 pm »

Currently, I have some Python scripts which access remote REST services deployed on a server hosting a MySQL EA repository. On the server the REST service accesses the EA repository as well as other project information in order to gather some analysis result. The result is stored locally on the client site in a text file.

The Python scripts offer some simple item list selection or file selection dialog to specify one or two parameters for the REST service.

Now, I got the request to start these scripts from within EA - or rewrite them as an EA extension. The analysis result shall be presented in a window which shall pop up from the start of a script.

As there are several options to go - and I am not experienced in any of them - I need some help with the decision how to achive this.

General Board / Re: How to change XSD generation to flat style?

« on: March 20, 2022, 02:16:52 am »

The solution was simple:

I forgot to move the classes (ComplexTypes) from under the outer class to the top level. This means that the XSD generation is sensitive not only to the associations between the classes but also to the hierarchy in the project browser.

Once you know, its simple.
