Bugs and Issues / Re: Issue with EXPORT HTML and new browsers version (edge, chrome, firefox 68+)

« on: April 20, 2022, 11:16:02 pm »

When I change to use extension .aspx in HTML generation, the Javascript is working in both Teams & SharePoint

So now we can publish selected models to Teams & Sharepoint by copy the whole filestructure (i.ex c:\temp\ea) to a selected FileFolder in Teams and then connect an tab to a WebSite (The copied files in Teams url), so when a user klick on the Tab in Teams the Published EA Models aperar.

One other way is to create an OneDrive shortCut to the selected fileFolders in SharePoint and Publish your HTML från Sparx EA direct to this OneDrive ShortCut, the the model can be accessed from Both Teams & SharePoint using a Tab as above

I dont know what parameters is specifik for HTML publishing, but I have no problem with dizzy Web-pictures

There is several places where "Image" controlls is configured
- Preferences:
-- Image Memory Limit = 512
-- Zoom to best scale
-- Scale saved bitmap to = 150%
-- Image Quality = High
--
- Each diagram settings:
-- Page Setup : Scale to 1 page

I use "Scale diagram to full page", High Image Quality

When in large organisation as we (Region Stockholm >50.000 employees) we are using a sharedDatabase platform (MS SQL based DB-Hotell) for the reasoning to avoid any SQL-server administration and  costs.
Its about 20% slover than an own MS-SQL Server but 10% of the cost & maintance effort
It about 75 architects using EA-Repo in this environment

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: How replace duplicated elements to ONE master elements

« on: November 30, 2021, 08:45:01 am »

We are about 50 different modellers in 5 diffrent organisations that use a common Company Repository.
But not all users use the "Master" object when creating a new diagram or modell, so some systems as I.e the Corporate User & Role directory have about 25 diffrent objects with same name and meaning.
- Could be  that they does not understod the "Objects"  thinking in EA as they still "draw" as they did with Visio,
- Some does not bother to search if its already a master-object to use
- Or they just testing someting and then, next day that  modell is "perfect" and then its to late for them to change object...

Its possible to "manually" change the selected objects in diagrams to the master Object, but its takes time and are booring to move relations etc

Some sort of semi automatic with scripting should be feasble, I think, where a user is comfirming the switch for each diagram to a known master-object, where the script is checking all current relations, Notes, Attributes, Tagged-Values etc and making the switch

In EA Repository we have a lot of duplicated element for same objects.
How to replace those in an efficiant way??
- 3:rd party product (Expensive)?
- Own script (Difficult) ?
- Dont bother hmmm

Have some users using an propritary notation "Prime Arch" that is as Archimate om Steriods .
Now they have some issues and we Wonder how to simply transform those models  to UML and/or Archimate.
By Transformation script or  standard scripting (JavaScript).
Whats easiest method??

PCS General Board / What are the Road-map for Sparx EA and PCS & WEB-EA with Prolaborate

« on: September 28, 2021, 08:17:16 am »

Under 2020&2021 we where testing the full stack of PCS&WebEA and Prolaborate.
As system responsible för Sparx EA plattform I help about 50 users with users problems, Sparx EA UI changes in each new versions etc. But as Prolaborate is an orthodox overlay to the Sparx EA platform, I dont understand wy all new stuff as drill down charts, templates and features is NOT stored in same databas and USEFUL for ordinary Sparx EA & Web-EA users.
To use those tools together we need an superuser with some schizofren ability. Or hire 2 diffrent persons with diffrent abilitys.
- Create good looking charts & templates for Sparx EA modellers & Web EA users
- Create by another tool, good looking charts & templates for premium Web users who pays more than ordinary WEB-EA users

Other EA tools may have some separation for Premium & ordinary user groups, but most have same toolbox & common platform.
Its the same problem as MS Office had have with different dev-groups för Word, Excel & PowerPoint. Each product handels MetaData/Tags diffrently and does not support VBA in same way. Completly diffrent anmials but in same zoo.
