General Board / Finding where an InformationItem is conveyed?

« on: December 02, 2015, 08:27:17 am »

From an Information Flow you can "Find Items Conveyed", but from an InformationItem how do you find out if it is conveyed on an Information Flow?

The problem is I have created two of the same information items and I need to find where I have used them so I can remove one of them :-)

General Board / Object labels - maybe dumb question

« on: August 14, 2015, 09:31:52 am »

So Label Visibility shows top and bottom labels for the source, middle, and target of connectors.  The top label at each end has my enumeration in it (good), but what is displayed in the bottom label, and can is it something that i can edit and display?

General Board / Information item on Information flow

« on: July 28, 2014, 07:25:11 am »

When you create an information flow between two elements you can add information items to the flow.  Is there a way to return these information items in an RTF report?

I'm looking for a way to produce a list of required fire wall burns, and it would seem to be handy if I can create the port\protocols as information items and attach them in information flows between nodes and then report on them.

General Board / Standard project models

« on: May 16, 2014, 07:20:17 am »

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had a standard project model that they cared to share that contains requirements, issues, stakeholders and the like.

I have a couple based on waterfall type projects, but I've been asked to help out in what is going to be more of an Agile project approach.

General Board / Hyper links to diagrams

« on: May 08, 2014, 10:43:06 am »

This could be dumb question :-)

If I create a hyperlink to a digram I get its containing package name as a prefix to it.  I'm fairly certain you used to be able to suppress this, but I can't remember how.

Is this possible or am I misremembering?

General Board / Modelling attribute replication between systems

« on: June 27, 2013, 07:49:43 am »

Hi all,
        I want to create what is basically a visual map of user attribute replication between systems.

So for example I want to show a person's surname in Active Directory which has the LDAP attribute name of sn replicates into lastname in Cisco Call Manager.

So far I haven't found a way to associate attributes between classes or any other object that works well visually.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

General Board / This note is linked to an internal element feature

« on: June 16, 2011, 08:41:32 am »

Hi all.  I returned to update a hand draw diagram that I have Notes all over to discover that when I drop a Note from the common toolbox I get a message

"This note is linked to an internal element feature - it cannot be edited.  To adjust the note content, use the connector context menu linking this note to another object to set the feature currently linked to."

The problem is I want to continue adding floating notes, and I can't discover what I might have changed to create this behaviour.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Bugs and Issues / Weirdness with actor

« on: November 03, 2015, 12:44:43 pm »

With EA12.1 I'm finding when selecting a class then an actor to align horizontally the Actor moves.  Obviously the same thing happens when they're selected the other way, however some of the connectors also move.

Can anyone else replicate this?

Uml Process / Use Case Overview diagram

« on: December 02, 2015, 09:39:00 am »

I attempted to contact the authors of this book to find out more, but I didn't receive a reply to my question.

Learning UML 2.0 lists a Use Case Overview diagram as a type of UML diagram, but I can't find a mention of it anywhere else.

https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/learning-uml-20/0596009828/ch02s03.html#learnuml2-CHP-2-FIG-16

Can any of our UML luminaries cast any light on this diagram type?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Using an extended requirement in custom toolbox

« on: October 30, 2015, 09:42:53 am »

Can I add an extended requirement to my custom toolbox either directly by referring to it via its technology

Code: [Select]

Something::ArchitecturalRequirement(UML::Requirement)
or will I need to create an abstract metatype thingy in my technology pointing to it?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Extending a technology other than UML via a MDG

« on: August 17, 2015, 09:33:27 am »

Hi is it possible to extend a technology other than UML via a MDG.

Specifically can you extend or generalise Archimate 2?

e.g. ArchimatePlus::Archimate_Risk(Archimate2::ArchiMate_Driver)

Or do you basically have to copy Archimate 2 Drivers extension of UML and its shapescript?
