That is my thought as well. I will get in touch with our tool developer and send you the material. I really appreciate your offer, Geert.

Hello,

Was a resolution ever received from Sparx Support for this? We are experiencing the same error.

Thanks

Given the challenges with the fixed-size HTML table cells in v16, are there any specific alternative modeling tools you would recommend that offer better HTML publishing capabilities?

You could use the same modelling tool, but change the publishing tool to WebEA or Prolaborate

Next try with a transfered feap file shows for the compare the problem with the notes is gone as well, but the "Visibility/Scope" issue remains.

And an other thing! When I do the compare with an exported xea file, at least the problem with the "notes" and carriage return is gone!

General Board / Re: Backward and forward compatibility between versions of Sparx EA and PCS

Thank you Geert, just to be more specific we are currently running PCS v5.1.128 with a variety of Saprx EA v16.x builds. One of the reasons for the question is to gather some information/experience on adding Sparx EA v17.x to the mix without upgrading PCS.

I'm 99.9% sure that will work without a problem.

If it were my client I wouldn't even hesitate to install v17.1 and start using it.

I just find out, that when I do the same thing on a SVN controlled package the "Visibility/Scope" "public/not set" difference is in addition as well shown on my elements/requirements!

Maybe "Visibility" is stored in a "Scope" filed in the DB for whatever reason.
But anyhow it is not just a display issue!

The compare shows a difference without changing anything.
On side it shows "Visibility/Scope" is set to "public" (what the dependeny relationship is by default) and on the other side, it states that the value is "not set" at all, and therfore it shows a difference.

Further on, the "Notes" are sometimes shown as different (even not changed) and this seem to happen if a carriage return is in the text.

For sure both ar bugs. A compare of unchanged things should just show nothing.

The 'Visibility' in the Properties window of Enterprise Architect is stored in the t_object.Scope column internally, so this is not a bug.

The problem is that EA shows the internal column name in the Comparison view. It should be shown as 'Visibility,' the same as in the user interface.
