RTF Document Generation Filter Phase Like Issue
« on: September 17, 2008, 02:56:08 pm »
I am trying to generate a RTF document out of EA and filtering by the phase. The issue I have is there is a big package structure of requirements each having one of the 5 phases. Now, I want the ability to generate a document for a certain phase. The problem I have is since EA only allows filtering of packages and not elements, my document generation does not work as a package can have requirements belonging to different phases.

Now this is what I tried, In the package containing requirements from two different phases; lets call it A and B, I input the following into the Phase section of the Package: "A,B". Now I want to filter the RTF Document based on Phase 'like' B. However, this does not work.

Can someone tell me how can I make this work. I think I am missing a wildcard characters but EA does not document what it uses as wildcard characters or this is a bug in EA.

I am using EA 7.1.830

Try using a Model Search. There is a Requirements search, and you can add a filter on Phase with a specific value. Having got your search results, generate an RTF report on these results.

Explore the Help section on Model Search for full details.

Model Search will not work for me as all the elements searched for get generated one after the other and the package structure does not get generated in the document output.

Is there a bug with the 'like' function in the RTF Filter for Package Phases?
