coArchi / Re: Using GitHub Actions to create the HTML report

« Last post by tdalseide on September 26, 2021, 14:37:08 PM »

Really handy to have a Docker image with Archi installed! I've used this for GitLab CI in order to produce a jasper-report as PDF. The .gitlab-ci.yml is here: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2180614.

There are some use cases for using jArchi as well, that could be a nice addon for the image.

Archi Development / Re: Profiles

« Last post by Phil Beauvoir on September 24, 2021, 22:36:42 PM »

Hi Hervé,

thanks for your comments!

At the moment we have simplified things so that a concept can only have one Profile which is the single Specialization. But in the future there is the possibility to add more Profiles to a concept so that's why it's a List. At some point we want to be able to assign multiple Profiles to a concept that link to Properties (https://github.com/archimatetool/archi/issues/705#issuecomment-779721038)

Cheers!

Archi Development / Profiles

« Last post by Hervé on September 24, 2021, 22:29:32 PM »

Hi Phil, JB,

Very nice 4.9 version ... Very qualitative, as usual and a lot of improvements !

Small question though ... Concepts now have got a getProfiles() method that return an EList<IProfile> and a getPrimaryProfile() method.

But I understood that they could only have one specialization (thus profile) ... so why an EList ? Am I wrong ?

Thanks
Hervé

General Archi Discussion / Re: How can you do Project Dependency Mapping using Archi?

Hello,

I'm using combination from Plateau, Work Package and Mapped Application Components to form the project implementation view, as attached.

You can also add certain Deliverables and Gaps to show more dependencies.

Hope this give some reference for you.

Regards, Xiaoqi

General Archi Discussion / Re: Labels using if and nvl

« Last post by Phil Beauvoir on September 22, 2021, 14:33:32 PM »

Very interesting and useful indeed

However because 4.9 incompatibility with coArchi conflicts (as far I understood), we may have a longer time before adopting 4.9 (waiting then for coArchi v2)
Would it be possible to mark the 4.9 new features in the documentation with a tag or notice (eg: "@since 4.9") ?

Yes, I've added "(Since 4.9)" for the three new label expressions in the wiki.

Archi 4.9 will still work with coArchi, but you won't be able to see the difference when merging if Specializations are used.

(I accidentally edited your message instead of quoting it. I've put it back to how it was  )

Actually, Archi 4.9 will not work with coArchi if there are Specializations in the model. We are investigating a fix. In the meantime don't add Specializations to models shared with coArchi!

General Archi Discussion / Re: How can you do Project Dependency Mapping using Archi?

I'm using
* Program, Portfolio or Project = archi 'Work Package'
* the triggering relationship to show time dependency between projects

Also another possibility is to explicit deliverables as product realized by a WP and accessed by the next WP (if for instance it depends not on completion of previous WP, but on a specific partial delivery)

General Archi Discussion / How can you do Project Dependency Mapping using Archi?

« Last post by gmamvura on September 20, 2021, 21:10:05 PM »

Hi Team,

I have a scenario where Project Management team is running a portfolio of projects with many dependencies on each other for overall portfolio to complete. They like Archi Tool, but they are trying to figure out a way to graphically show project dependencies to Stakeholders via Archi if possible. The project gantt chart are not the best option here so they are using spreadsheets, and still the presentation is not that great.

Does anyone have ideas using a combination of appropriate Archi Elements?

Thanks in advance

jArchi / Re: Adding annotations by script

That means you're trying to connect between two objects that are not in the same View.

jArchi / Re: Adding annotations by script

I have tried my script in 4.8.1 and 4.9 Beta, but when I try in an earlier file I created on an EA version I gate an error, see attached.

Its not important for my test model, but maybe indicates underlying issue etc
