Bugs and Issues / Re: GUIDs are case sensitive!

« Last post by kubsztal on March 19, 2026, 11:35:43 pm »

Hi Geert,

if we say that case sensitive GUIDs are acceptable, then the bug is in my code. However, according to the UUID definition (RFC 4122), UUIDs should be case insensitive. Since a GUID is a 128-bit number, it should be compared numerically rather than as a string. From that perspective, the bug is in EA. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Best,
Kubsztal

What are you saying here? Is there a bug in EA, or in your code?

Bugs and Issues / GUIDs are case sensitive!

When I programmatically create a connector between two operations, the referenced GUIDs are written in all uppercase in the StyleEx field of the t_connector table. However, in the t_object table, those GUIDs contain some lowercase letters. As a result, the referenced operations are not found, and the connector is displayed on the diagram as if it were created only between components rather than between their operations.

PCS General Board / Re: Project Transfert via the PCS OSLC API

I submitted it as a feature request with the alternative approach to manage it via the PCS Config Client, similarly to the diagram images update scheduling: with this application, an admin could configure regular backups for a selection of configured EA databases.

PCS General Board / Re: OSLC PCS SynchProfile method ?

« Last post by Eve on March 18, 2026, 08:39:03 am »

EA Interop API provides a method to synchronize the MDG's stereotypes i.e. matching what one can do in EA via a right click on a stereotype in the toolbox  > Synchronize Stereotype
Example:    Repository.CustomCommand("Repository", "SynchProfile", "Profile=myProfile;Stereotype=test;");

Use the supported function instead on the EA side.

Repository.SynchProfile ("myProfile", "test");

is there a way to run this Synchronize command so that all tagged values matching the profile definition are created ?

No.

Is it likely to be supported in the future or a decision not to expose this feature via the PCS API ?

Currently PCS only offers the OSLC access to data and not any of the functionality that EA itself offers. I'm not aware of any plans to change that.

Hi,

Thank you for the advice. I figured out the stereotype was properly set. Having fixed it, I confirm the tagged values are created in the new element based on the MDG definition, available on the EA project.

As I create stereotyped elements matching a profile (custom MDG) via the PCS OSLC API, is there a way to run this Synchronize command so that all tagged values matching the profile definition are created ?

Thanks

If you create an element with a stereotype using the client API, the tagged values are created automatically.
If that doesn't happen when creating elements using the server API, than that should be considered a bug.

Synchronize stereotype should only be used after updating the stereotype definition itself.

Why do some browsers like Firefox and Edge encounter issues with Basic Authentication when trying to log in to the Sparx Systems website?
