Importing a Sequence Diagram (s)

[Kevin G. Watson]

Hello Guys,

Me and my new boss, was looking around for something interesting and usefull for me to do the other night.  We was playing with the Sequence Diagram Generator in Visual Studio 2010, when caught by one of our jolly jumpers (sales folks).  Who's run around select clients (folks who depend on IBM Rational Tools (RSM+.Net) and found some EA teams) who said they'd try out 'our' tool.

I had a look at the Microsoft SD, seemingly easy xml thingie...

Is it possible to construct a Sequence Diagram in EA via automation?

Can a Sequence Diagram be transformed into a Communication Summary Diagram (I'm thinking of combining a number of SDs into one CSD)?

Thanks for any help,

Not out of the box. You can of course create your own transformation usign the API. :-/

Hi'ya Geert

Thank you... I shall now go explore the EA Automation Interface and start running up simple SD's...

Transformations, sound really cool and complex (da boss, he don't like complex, say it's not a good use of my time).
