Where to read the relationship "Element has Constraint" outside the diagram? [message #1847710]

Hi all,

In EA, Constraint is aggregated into Element.
In Papyrus, the Constraint stands as a separate Element (according to UML: It is a descendant of the PackageableElement) and it is linked to the given Element by a Link.
However, we need the fact that this "Element has this Constraint" (or these Constraints) to be visible not only on the diagram, but in some window or reasonable listing for inspection purposes and for implementation requirements.

How and where to get this information out of the diagram?

Thanks for the advice

Ilya.

Hi Ilya,

a solution might be a query like the one below

index.php/fa/41260/0/

this query queries the model, the uml-file saved to be exactly. So save before querying.

index.php/fa/41262/0/

This feature implies Acceleo is installed.

Btw, the very same query you can use to generate a LibreOffice/Word Document using GenDoc. So you can generate a custom report :-)

A slightly altered query can look for "unbound" constraints, here defined as constrains with no constrainedElement defined.

index.php/fa/41263/0/

PS the sample was done in my Papyrus 6 test bed :-)

Hi Ilya,

an additional remark

The tricky part is, that as I interpret the UML specification the visible link does NOT express that the constraint constrains the linked elements. The solution I presented implies the constrainedElement association end of the Constrain element is used accordingly. The A_constrainedElement_constraint association defined in the UML specification has no visual representation.

A really interesting question, many thanks :-)

Hi Carsten,
thanks a lot,
it looks a bit more complicated (but only a matter of time before I prepare it :)),

I don't see the content of Constraint. I guess the query would have to be modified to show the specification, language and body, right?

I have a supplementary question:

Is there no "matrix of relations" (with filters) in Papyrus where this relation with ends could be found?

]or you expand the query results :-)

For more elaborate reports I recommend GenDoc generated Open-/Libre-/Microsoft-Office documents. GenDoc can generate text, presentation and spreadsheet documents. Also because reports can be archived and be presented at an project audit.

Hi, Carsten,

thanks a lot,

I plan to test and deploy GenDoc soon.
