Deployment Diagrams - Package Contents

[canderson]

Hi,

I'm trying to put a deployment diagram together.
In my project browser I have my components listed in different packages according to the vendors of those packages.

I have this model in an EAP (mdb) file.
When I drag a package onto the diagram it shows the package as a  box that looks like a tab control (with only 1 tab) and the contents of the package listed with the component icon from the project browser/tree.

I recently upgraded this model to a MySQL database.
When I drag a package onto the diagram in this model is shows the package as a box that looks like a tab control (with only 1 tab) but it does not show the package contents?

Is this a setting somewhere or a bug?

Luckily I still had the old EAP file as I had to go back and try it in that model to prove I wasn't going insane!  

(FYI - I'm using EA version 7.1 build 828 - the corporate version).

Thanks,

CA.

I did some more research into this.

TEST 1
I created a new project (EAP) file.
I added a new package (Deployment diagram) to the root node, 'Model'.
I added a diagram under the deployment diagram package.
I also added a new package to the deployment diagram package.
I added a new component to the package.
I drag the package onto the canvas of the diagram and I get a shape to represent the package and inside the shape is the package contents.

TEST 2
I created a new EAP file (different to the one above).
I created a new catalog in MySQL.
I ran the InnoDB script against the database.
I opened my new EAP file and used the data transformation tool to upsize it to the new MySQL database.
I connect EA to the the new mysql database and repeat the steps in Test 1.

When I drag the package node from the project browser tree onto the diagram canvas I get a shape to represent the package but it doesn't list the package contents.

I would hope this is something that could be fixed with a tweak to the InnoDB MySQL script - as it works with Access database (EAP) files.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

CA.

In the properties of each diagram on the Elements page you can check 'Package Contents'.
