« on: November 24, 2023, 09:19:49 am »

Thank you, vladap and wivel, for your responses.
Is there a step-by-step guide (somewhere) that I can follow for any of these options, as I have not done this before?

General Board / Change author name for all diagrams and elements

« on: November 23, 2023, 01:47:50 pm »

Hello EA experts,

I know this question has been discussed a few times in the past several years. The last time (I came across) was around 2015. Is there a new and easy way to change the author name for all diagrams and elements?

Thank you!

Hello, EA experts,

I need your advice on the right approach to import 300+ application profiles from Excel to EA. The first few records are shown in the screenshot below.



This Excel spreadsheet is an export from another architecture tool. You will notice that the GUID is available in the first column.

Thank you so much in advance!

You are amazing, Geert! It worked!
I am wondering why it works in one direction but not the other?

Hello, Geert  ,

It's been a long time! I hope you are well  Thank you for chiming in.

You are right. I need to use a relationship matrix as below.

When I tried, it's not allowing me to drag and drop "Outcomes" or "Strategies". I am getting the message shown on the screen below:

I tried to set the "Outcomes" as "Source" and set the "Strategies" as "Target," but nothing has shown up on the matrix.

Hello, EA Experts,

Can someone help me, please, and let me know why I am unable to drag and drop an item to the relationship matrix? When I dragged and dropped the two items shown, they have not been populated.

General Board / Re: Create a stereotyped Requirement elements

« on: October 28, 2023, 03:36:17 am »

Hello qwerty,

Thank you for chiming in. I need to hid to make it consistent with the rest of the elements in the diagram.

Now, "strategic imperative" looks odd compared to the rest of the elements in the diagram which would actually raise the question by the reader "why is this different?"

Hello, Shimon,

Thanks a lot for your response. That worked! I managed to add a custom stereotype, as shown below...

https://ibb.co/whmBcpc

Now, I am trying to make the element appearance similar to the other elements in the model. i.e., appears with only the stereotype at the top. I tried switching the appearance to "Use Rectangle Notation" but I still see the Requirement stereotype icon at the top right; as shown below...
https://ibb.co/rZKTP3Y

I tried to uncheck "Use Stereotype Icons" in Design > Diagram > Manage > Properties > Elements but that did not work

https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.1/modeling_languages/stereotype_visibility.html

Is there a way to hide this stereotype icon?

General Board / Create a stereotyped Requirement elements

« on: October 22, 2023, 06:37:20 pm »

Hello, EA Experts,

I am using the Business Motivation Model to model the strategic elements of an organization. The model uses stereotyped requirements for modeling goals, objectives, mission, vision, etc. (as shown in the screenshot). I dragged a non-stereotyped Requirement element from the toolbox and I want to create a stereotype for it and call it "strategic imperative". When I open the Properties window, I do not see the stereotype filed, I can only see the type filed (as shown in the screenshot).

https://ibb.co/pfcdh2X

Can someone please help me on how to add a stereotype for the Requirement element?

Thank you,

General Board / Architecture Repository for Sharing

« on: October 07, 2023, 01:42:16 am »

Hello, EA Experts,

I came across a presentation on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hixLdgi4WGA titled "Visualizing Your Enterprise Architecture using TOGAF and Enterprise Architect".

I am wondering whether someone has a similar architecture repository that they can share with me.

Thank you very much!
