Using EA as CMDB Repository

[Christopher J. Siegle]

Has anyone used the EA repository to store configuration information?  For example, I was thinking of building a series of capture systems that pulls data from our enterprise and loads/updates it to Sparx EA.  Is Sparx EA scalable for such an endeavor?  Any pitfalls?

[Geert Bellekens]

EA scales pretty good, as long as you don't add too many features (1000+) to an element.
But the question is: what it this information you are trying to load into EA and does this type of information belong in a UML modelling tool?

In a modelling tool...  As you know Geert, EA goes way past UML...

In a tool based on vertices, arcs and properties (the equivalent of E-R-A).

Does that mean I stand erected?

I don't get it. According to this site: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/I+stand+corrected that was that was the correct phrasing.
Or am I missing a subtle language joke?

Me confused

Your confusion arises purely from Paolo's response - as does mine, actually! Your words are perfectly correct.

No , I think Paolo meant that he stood. That is, was erect. To be standing = to be erect. That sort of play on words.

If you want to confuse anyone, speak or write English. Maybe we should all speak Nederlandse instead?

Now that's a suggestion! Lets have a Dutch day
and then a French, German, Spanish,...

Non dimenticate gli Italiani!
