Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: How test new pluggin/MDG without critical problems

« on: February 07, 2018, 11:55:35 pm »

Hi.
Nope I just installed the BABOK MDG in my client. Then I did some other work in the model in Repository with builtin Archimate 3.x
I did not start any BABOK modeling

But I have learned that I need a Real test environment and process as I requires from other part of the organisation

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How test new pluggin/MDG without critical problems

« on: February 07, 2018, 09:15:51 pm »

Hi all EA users.

I was testing the BABOK MDG/Pluggin from Sparx on my daily client/PC.
Normally Im connected to our repository, so this time also.
Then other EA-users couldn't connect to the Repository, They got error msg: " Required MDG BABOK is not available"
I got "Panic" .... WtF.. I have just installed BABOK, not started modeling ...
A day later I got answer from Sparx how to check the Models in repository for BABOK MDG requirement. So there I could remove it.
We lost 1 day of work for 10-15 users when they was not able to use the repository.

My question is how do you test new MDG, funktiones etc in real life??
- An other Sparx EA client-PC just for test?
- An other Test repository?
- Other test stuff?

General Board / Running script from an specific Element

« on: January 10, 2018, 03:52:20 am »

Hi all.

Is it possible to have a script in a element ie Artefact or variant of.. That can be started when needed?
that calulates some tagged values from actual diagram.

Or are scripts part of model aka in Database?
Or are script stored in EA client package? has to be deplyed to all EA clients...(as alternate Images..)

« on: December 18, 2017, 11:31:16 am »

In diagram properties , Advanced Im using "Scale to 1 page" who works good, Using EA 13.51

When large and wide diagram Im selecting Rotate Image in Diagram Properties.

Its works as expected with normal Doc generation
Maybe works different with scripts

General Board / How get statistics from number of EA usages with key store

« on: December 02, 2017, 10:48:36 am »

Hi all EA modelers out there.

At my work we have 15 floating licenses i Shared Key store server and about 25 installed EA.
As owner of the EA system and all its infrastructure (DB-server, Key-store-server, Web publishing server and EA licenses) I whould like to get some statistics from the Key Store. I have asked Sparx support but they say I have to check the Key-Store logfiles my self.

Problem is that I don´t have access to the servers them self.
So I wonder if any of you have made any stand-alone script or a small program that reads the key-store log-files and makes the data usable??

I have no idea if I needs more licenses or if I´m paying to much. (Sparx are missing the selling point here, stupid sales-dep)

I used Prolog in the  last centuries (1985-1990) for large tree search as train time-table search for complete country railway.
Wonder if its possible to call EA scripts engine from other langues, ie SWI-prolog.org

General Board / Re: Re-using standard shapescripts

« on: June 02, 2017, 06:52:14 am »

Are you getting the ShapeScript for Archimate 3 elements from Sparx??

There are some interesting work done by Cognit Solution, thay have made som extension to Archimate 2.1 to define a IML (Infrasteucture Modeling Language) with some nice shapes.
I have asked them for the Sparx EA plug-in with no anwer

So Im thinking to build it my self, at least the element symbols as alternate picture for technology elements.

Suggestions and Requests / With SparxKeyStoreService missing a way to see/read number of users

« on: December 03, 2016, 10:00:26 am »

The management interface of SparxKeyStoreServices just show what user have a key at that moment.
We have 15 Floating keys, but I have no way to check how many users was using Sparx last week, or what was the peek usage last week or month, so I can order more keys in advance, to be litle proaktiv
