Bugs and Issues / Regarding EA Rest APIs

« on: March 27, 2023, 08:31:13 pm »

Hi Team,

             We would like to access the diagrams, elements, and other Data of EA using the Rest APIs, instead the SOAP.
Note: Our EA is on Prem.

Which Rest APIs can be used? Can someone give the link to the list of APIs?

Is it similar to Pro cloud server OSLC APIs? Using this API, can we access on Prem EA data ? Will this APIs have better performance than the SOAP ?


Thanks,
Ashwini.

Bugs and Issues / Memory allocation issue in 32 bit EA

« on: December 30, 2022, 12:07:50 am »

I am trying to connect to multiple file repositories/ mysql repositories at the same time in Enterprise architect. Since, too many connections are being created the application is crashing and providing an out of memory error. In 32 bit EA application after around 10-15 connections are established after that if we try to establish another connection this issue occurs.

Is there any way in enterprise architect to configure the memory space allocation?

Bugs and Issues / Unable to view link between deriving diagram and derived UMLelement

« on: December 14, 2022, 07:35:44 pm »

When linking a diagram to another diagram if the diagram link is established as Diagram Frame or Diagram Reference, in that case an UMLDiagram element is created linking it to the deriving diagram. However, this linkage of deriving diagram and derived element is not found. Where can these detail of linkage be fetched as to which diagram does this UMLDiagram element refer to?

For Example the stereotype is Collaboration and the properties related to it are under "Business Collaboration Use Case" tab, these are the properties which we want to access.
We are not able to find any way in the documentation of EA Object Model.

Bugs and Issues / Diagram not being added to QEA repository and creating a journal file

« on: November 19, 2022, 01:20:35 am »

Diagram is not getting created in QEA repository and creating a journal file. However, elements are getting created and saved as well.
However, this works with QEAX repositories.

internal class Class1
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            // connect to user1
            var path = "path";
            var repository = new EA.Repository();
            repository.SuppressSecurityDialog = true;
            repository.SuppressEADialogs = true;
            var isOpened = repository.OpenFile2(path, "username", "password");

            //create
            string packagePath = "path";

            Package package = getpackage(repository, packagePath);

            //create diagram syncuser
            Diagram diagram = package.Diagrams.AddNew(EAConstants.OH_CREATE_TEMPLATE, "Use Case");
            diagram.Name = "hello";
            diagram.Update();

            repository.ReloadDiagram(diagram.DiagramID);
            repository.OpenDiagram(diagram.DiagramID);
            repository.SaveDiagram(diagram.DiagramID);
            repository.CloseDiagram(diagram.DiagramID);
        }

        private static Package getpackage(Repository repository, string packagePath)
        {
            //get packages
            Dictionary<string, string> packageStructure = new Dictionary<string, string>();
            foreach (Package model in repository.Models)
            {
                //Getting all the packages under a particular module.
                EAUtility.ConstructHierarchy(model, "", packageStructure, false);
            }
            //find package id
            string packageGUID = null;
            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> pair in packageStructure)
            {
                if (packagePath.Equals(pair.Value))
                {
                    packageGUID = pair.Key;
                    break;
                }
            }
            Package package = repository.GetPackageByGuid(packageGUID);
            return package;
        }

Bugs and Issues / v16 relation matrix view cannot create relations

« on: November 08, 2022, 01:35:24 am »

situation: Archimate business diagram with businessRole and businessActor

Switch view to "Relation Matrix view"
Set businessRole as source, businessActor as target
Select an appropriate field for role/actor
Hit spacebar, select "assigned by" or "serving" or any other.... no joy, nothing UML compliant here..

In the graphical view I can create valid relations (they are shown in the relation matrix)
I want to use the relation matrix to quickly assign relations, I think that's what it's there for but it does not work

Bugs and Issues / v16 - Update diagram fails even after reloading the diagram in c#

If another user has made any update to the diagram, then before updating the diagram user needs to reload the diagram.
This is displayed on the EA application as well.

However, even after reloading the diagram using Repository.ReloadDiagram (currentDiagram.DiagramID);, update diagram fails with following error "No such diagram found having diagram GUID: ".

General Board / Extract the list Actions for each Actor

« on: September 22, 2022, 08:33:51 pm »

Hi,

I created my Actors (Actor1, Actor2). Next I created an activity diagramm in which as swimmlines I used two partitions that have as instance classifier = Actor1 and Actor2. I therefore have two vertical partitions :Actor1 and :Actor2.
In each swimmline I then inserted and linked the Actions.
I then created n other activity diagrams with the same logic.
I would now like to create a list that extracts for each Actor which Actions it is associated with. I started with the idea that by making partitions-instances of Actors and inserting Actions into these partitions, I can extract which Actions are associated with which Actors.

Is it possible?

Thanks

General Board / Report Elements From External Packages in generate documentation

« on: September 20, 2022, 05:44:39 pm »

Hello, I want to make a report of all elements of the diagram. I followed the site guide and activated the following checkboxes:

• In the 'Properties' dialog for selected diagrams, the 'Add each contained element in Documentation' checkbox, to identify all the elements in those diagrams in your report, or
• On the 'Generate Documentation' dialog, the 'Include all Diagram Elements in Report' checkbox to include all elements in each and every diagram checked by the report
  

But when generate the documentation, there are no External elements in the report.
external elements are Business rules, activities and data objects which are included in Business Process Diagram.

Bugs and Issues / How to get hierarchy of different types of elements

« on: September 06, 2022, 11:11:08 pm »

Many of the elements of EA, belong to "Class" element and many of them do not. How do we bifurcate this hierarchy.
Is there any specific hierarchy that which follows other element types, wherein the base types of elements derive another types of elements. Hierarchy of the element types, i.e. SYSML, SPEM, Archimate, Class, Object, Composite and the heirarchy dependency between them. Like SYSML is a sub type of Class element type.
