6.2.5.29. Architecture-EAImporter

Imports an Enterprise Architect model (in XMI1.1 format) into the RFG

Required inputs: RFG

This rule converts an XMI model (UML 1.3/XMI 1.1) exported from Enterprise Architect® to an RFG containing an architectural description based on the elements contained in the model.

The importer expects UTF-8-encoded XML files. If the XMI files have another encoding (especially multi-byte encodings like shift-jis), consider changing the encoding within Enterprise Architect or use the 'encoding' option.

Possible Messages

This rule has no predefined messages.

Options

• This rule shares the following common options: exclude_messages_in_system_headers, excludes, includes, justification_checker, post_processing, provider, severity

• The following places define options that affect this rule: Analysis-GlobalOptions

add_classifier_edges

add_classifier_edges : bool = False

Generate UML Classifier edges (e.g. between Interfaces and ProvidedInterfaces).

 

add_raw_guids

add_raw_guids : bool = False

If set to true, store unprocessed value of GUIDs in attribute "Linkage.Raw_GUID".

 

architecture_view_name

architecture_view_name : str = 'EA Architecture'

Name of the generated architecture view.

 

encoding

encoding : str | None = None

The encoding of the XMI files to import (if differing from UTF-8).

 

excluded_class_stypes

excluded_class_stypes : list[str] = ['EntryPoint', 'ExitPoint']

UML classes with these stypes are not imported.

 

export_warnings

export_warnings : bool = True

Export output messages to the analysis database.

 

import_sequence_diagrams

import_sequence_diagrams : bool = False

Import (a fragment of) sequence diagrams.

 

import_structural_diagrams

import_structural_diagrams : bool = False

Import diagram data for structural diagrams.

 

import_tagged_values

import_tagged_values : list[str] = []

Names of tagged values that should be imported.

 

imported_constraint_types

imported_constraint_types : list[str] = []

List of types of imported constraints (empty list imports all).

 

loglevel

loglevel : LogLevel = 'WARNING'

Logging mode. WARNING only outputs errors and warnings, INFO additionally prints info messages, DEBUG additionally outputs info and debug messages.

 

try_to_repair_nontree_structure

try_to_repair_nontree_structure : bool = False

If set to true, the importer attempts to disambiguate nodes having two parent nodes in the resulting architecture view by removing hierarchical edges. ' The nodes in question are also copied to an extra view for inspection.

 

uml_classifier_types

uml_classifier_types : list[str] = ['Object', 'ProvidedInterface', 'RequiredInterface', 'Part', 'InformationItem', 'TimeLine']

Names of UML classifier types that should be converted.

 

uml_types

uml_types

Type: list[str]

Default: ['Class', 'Interface', 'Package', 'Component', 'InformationItem', 'Operation', 'Attribute', 'TaggedValue', 'ClassifierRole', 'Port', 'Constraint']

Names of UML types that should be converted.

 

xmi_files

xmi_files : set[bauhaus.analysis.config.LayerRelativePath] = set()

XMI files to process.

 

Option Types

These types are used by options listed above:

LogLevel

An enumeration.
