« Last post by knglumt on August 31, 2026, 10:51:01 pm »

We developed an MCP server that uses the Sparx EA database. We are using it ourselves. We would be happy if you also use it and share your feedback.

Bugs and Issues / RTF Template filters not working when run from a script

« Last post by Guillaume on August 28, 2026, 12:23:48 am »

I have a script in EA that generates documents using the DocumentGenerator class.
It generates content from a list of packages using the method DocumentPackage(pkg.PackageID, 0, "TemplateName") on each EA.Package.

In the applicable RTF template, I generate for each diagram in the package the list of elements names in a table. In the template documents options > element filters, I set a filter on the elements matching a criteria e.g. ObjectType = Class.
When I run the script, the table is empty.
If I generate the document directly from the EA template, it works i.e. the elements tables are populated according to the filter set.

If I remove the filter, the table is populated with all diagram elements via the script.
I tried several filters: Element ObjectType Contains  / OneOf / Class.

It looks like a bug. As a workaround I create a fragment with a custom SQL query.

I don't think so. I agree that would be a useful feature.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Generate reports from the Compare Utility?

« Last post by miksko on August 25, 2026, 06:19:24 pm »

Sparx' Compare Utility lets you track the changes between the current version and a baseline. (I imagine it's possible to also let it track the changes between the current version and the latest version checked in, in case you use Sparx' built-in version control, but I haven't been able to check that.) Is it possible to use the Report Builder to generate a document from the changes (also those made in diagrams)?

I'm asking since the Compare Utility is pretty tricky to use and we don't want to force every consumer to install the client. We also want the consumers to easily be able to review the incremental changes made between minor versions, in case they are behind.

Is this still the case, or does EA now support custom shortcuts and icons for addins?

Yes, no change yet.

I'm guessing there is erronous data already in the t_xref. Have you tried it on a clean emtpy sql server repository?
