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

« on: December 28, 2020, 06:45:19 am »

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

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. 

Thank you,
Mo

Geert and Richard, thank you.

Geert's tool worked very well for importing enumerations and their associalted attributes.

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!

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,

Uml Process / How to add units of measure to attributes in UML

« on: December 21, 2020, 06:04:40 pm »

Hello EA Experts,

I have a class with attributes such as:
-Height
-Weight
-Blood Sugrar Level

How can I add units of measure to these 3 attributes?
- ft and inch
- lb
- mg/dL (milligrams per decilitre)

Thank you.

« on: December 21, 2020, 06:55:53 am »

Hello,

I tried to edit the elements' names of a pre-loaded DMN pattern. When I tried to run the simulation, I got this error message.

Error: missing ) in parenthetical

https://ibb.co/HTp1BBd

How can I avoid getting this message? and what is the right way to edit the names of an existing pattern elements without breaking the model?

Thank you.

Thank you, Geert for sharing the excel importer tool. I will try it.

I am just curious to know whether I can achieve what I wanted through EA?
