General Archi Discussion / [Share] Practice on Query Arch...

Last post by Xiaoqi - May 02, 2024, 04:23:50 AM

Hello all,

I've using one reference model (Open Group's ArchiSurance case study) as sample, summarized several queries to demo to you how to use AlaSQL dealing the Archi Model, feel free to read this article:

https://yasenstar.github.io/EA/architool/Query-Archi-HTML-Report.html and you may use that as reference to query your own model.

Happy playing the query, which helped me a lot!

Any questions or comments, just let me know.

Except using command, I found one workaround, you can click the Model Name in the left panel's Model Tree, then the screen will be back and the right part's tab will be back to "Purpose" (the first one). After this, when you click "Query" the query window will be cleared.

Thanks for confirming. Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a way to have multiple models co-habit the same Repo.

Cheers

General Archi Discussion / Taxonomy Manager for Managing ...

Last post by Alberto - May 01, 2024, 18:28:29 PM

As we start to create more and more "specialized" objects, we are starting to lose track of the definitions behind these specializations. We also have groups of specializations and using prefixes in their names for added context, but again, these are a bit rudimentary solutions.

Last I had to look on the market for a taxonomy tool, there were tools at either extreme (small, limited functionality and/or behemoth complex tools).  I wonder if anyone knows of any easy, accessible, easy-learning curve tools  --preferably one based on a standard-- to manage taxonomies/ontologies that could play well with managing Specializations within Archi models.

Hi Mark,

We also use Azure DevOps within the architect team for one common repository.

If my understanding your question correctly, answer is Yes, we have created one Archi Model for team, created one Repo in Azure DevOps, then then via coArchi to "Add Local Model to Workspace and Publish".

Different Archi Model maps to different Repo in Azure DevOps.

General Archi Discussion / Re: Export views.csv ?

Last post by Xiaoqi - April 30, 2024, 22:42:37 PM

Hello,

I've found myself these HTML report tables are quite useful for supporting querying.

Here you may find the summarized data model (tables structure with relationships) on those 7 tables in HTML report:

https://github.com/yasenstar/EA/blob/master/architool/Archi%20HTML.png

Refer to those relationships between tables will facilitate you writing complex query for getting data from joined tables. Good Luck!

p.s. I also load the HTML Report data into Power BI then for more visualization views and linking with other data source internally.

Regards,
Xiaoqi

coArchi / Azure DevOps and Archi Model

Last post by mark_s - April 30, 2024, 21:57:54 PM

Hi Forum,

This is probably a very basic question, but needed to ask.

I'm using Azure DevOps and wanted to check that a single Archi Model equates to a single Repo?

Thanks Jean-Baptiste,

I didn't know about that approach as I usually don't import models. It's great to have multiple options.

Cheers,
Yves

Hi,

Just in case you didn't think about it: your can also create a model which only contains specializations' definition and import this model into other model to automate the creation of the specializations.
