The Object Model is accessible either from internal or external scripting environments or through Add-Ins. This is a powerful feature that ensures that a programmer is insulated from the underlying database where the repository is stored, protecting them from changes to the database structure or content. The objects are grouped into Packages and contain a useful, extensive and well documented set of properties and methods that are intuitive to use and allow access to elements, features, diagrams and project meta-data. Automation provides a way for other applications to access the information in an Enterprise Architect model using Windows OLE Automation (ActiveX). Typically this involves scripting clients such as MS Word or Visual Basic, or using scripts created within Enterprise Architect using the Scripting window. The Automation Interface provides a way of accessing the internals of Enterprise Architect models. Examples of things you can do using the Automation Interface include: · Perform repetitive tasks, such as update the version number for all elements in a model (c) Sparx Systems 2018 Page 8 of 549 User Guide - Enterprise Architect Object Model 21 December, 2018 · Generate code from a StateMachine diagram · Produce custom reports · Perform ad hoc queries Features Feature Description Connecting All development environments capable of to the generating ActiveX COM clients should Automation be able to connect to the Enterprise Interface Architect Automation Interface. This guide provides detailed instructions on connecting to the interface using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Borland Delphi 7.0, Microsoft C# and Java. There are also more detailed steps on how to set-up Visual Basic; the principles are applicable to other languages. Examples Instruction on how to use the Automation and Tips Interface is provided by means of sample code. See pointers to the samples and other available resources. Also, consult the extensive Reference Section. Calling Enterprise Architect can be set up to call Executables an external application. You can pass (c) Sparx Systems 2018 Page 9 of 549 User Guide - Enterprise Architect Object Model 21 December, 2018 from parameters on the current position Enterprise selected in the Project Browser to the Architect application being called. For instructions, go to the Call from Enterprise Architect topic. A more sophisticated method is to create Add-Ins, which are discussed in a separate section. (c) Sparx Systems 2018 Page 10 of 549
