Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Roadmap Diagram Options

Hello, EA Experts,

I am trying to edit the Strategy map model available in EA but I am unable to edit the time.

I am unable to set the date between 23/07/2020 and 30/7/2021

When I pick "Custom" from the "Units" dropdown menu, I am unable to add any special character to separate the day, month and year

Hello, Geert,

Again, it seems that your tool is always the solution  :)

I don't have experience dealing with queries.

Where exactly should I add this line? at the end of the query (just copy and paste) or should I delete a line from the query and replace it with this line?

This is what I did...

But I must have done something wrong because I got an error message

Thank you!

Hello, EA experts

I am trying to import/export (from and to Excel) the "Initial Value" field under "Attributes (among other fields of course). I am using this field to show a range of values (as shown in the screenshot)

https://ibb.co/gvzK2cb

How can I import/export the "Initial Value" field?

This does not seem to be possible using Bellekens tool and I tried to do so using MDG Integration for Office but I failed.

Thank you in advance.

Suggestions and Requests / User Guide for MDG for Microsoft Office
« on: December 28, 2020, 03:44:36 pm »
Hello,

I am new to Sparx EA. The main reason that let me go with the ultimate edition is the MDG Integration for Microsoft Office. So far, I have been unable to use the MDG for Microsoft Office, specifically Excel import/export. I have been using Bellekens' tool instead.

I don't seem to continue with the same edition next year or even recommend it to my organization.

I watched the 17-min video that introduces MDG Integration for Microsoft Office, but it is not enough.

I think it would be helpful to have a detailed User Guide for MDG for Microsoft Office and more video tutorials.

I have to say that I am disappointed.

Thank you,
Mo

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Export attributes to CSV

Thank you, Uffe for your response.

It's unfortunate that exporting attributes or operations to CSV is not possible  :(

Thank you, q. for looking into this. I will try to download .Net and see how it works.

Should not I have got this error as well while importing?  ::) Importing worked well for me.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Export attributes to CSV

Hello, EA Experts,

I am trying to export a package that includes data types with attributes and stereotypes (shown in the screenshot)

I could not find "Attribute" in the "Available Element Field", does that mean I cannot export attributes to CSV?

Uml Process / Re: How to add units of measure to attributes in UML
« on: December 27, 2020, 06:46:14 am »
Thank you so much Geert and q. for your valuable insights.

Now, I got your point, Geert. Since I am in the US, I assumed that zip codes are always numeric values that's what I wanted to use integer.

You raised a very good point about calculating with an age!

I laughed out loud on your comment to q.  ;D

Thank you,
Mo

I used your tool Geert and it worked perfectly to import several enumerations with several attributes. I could not manage to import Data Type through. I ended up adding them manually. I am looking forward to using your tool in other use cases.

Thank you so much!

« on: December 26, 2020, 05:34:46 pm »

The only issue I see is that you have modelled the zipcode as an integer.
I think you should only use numeric types if it makes sense to calculate with them (adding two zipcode values together makes no sense at all). If not use a string with additional constraints.

Thank you so much, Geert for confirming.

I just want to clarify why a zip code should be modeled as a String vs an Integer?
My understanding is that a real number is integer. string is text.
For example, the "age" attribute would be modeled as integer although adding two age values together makes no sense. Correct?

General Board / Re: Is there a way to change a class into an attribute??
« on: December 24, 2020, 04:43:57 am »
So I'm evaluating the Office integration MDG to import ~ 150K elements including classes, attributes and their dependencies into EA v. 1310.

Hello, Richard,
I am picking up on this topic. Did you manage to import classes with attributes?

Thank you,
Mo
