GUIDs are case sensitive!

[kubsztal]

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.

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

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,

Then create them the way that EA creates them. This is a bug in your code regardless of what your opinion of how EA should behave.
