Tracking Chnages in Enterprise Architect -
i encounter real difficulty in tracking changes , updates in company models.
i research tool abilities lot, still didn't find golden way match requirements of:
- provide indication
where
change what
change- keep
original
model state, asideup-to-date
state
ea offers following ways:
- baselines
- version control
- clone
- change elements
none of them provides indication on change , where.
what easiest way manage changes effectively?
you forgot last resort: audit. turn on auditing , can lot more information. of course has drawbacks
- it uses lot of space
- there still changes not tracked in detail might need it.
turn on @ project/auditing
. more information here.
additionally think of writing triggers, not recommend since makes repository unmaintainable.
auditing of course no silver bullet. tracking changes tedious. , not spend effort in "accusation mode". better spend energy in driving model towards company goals. nobody needs yesterday's model.
