Problem with specialization using the Archetype Editor

2013-01-16 Thread pablo pazos

Hi Peter,
I've uploaded here a set of screenshots explaining what I've done. You'll see 
in the 3rd image the weird ADL. This was an empty copy of the parent (1st  
2nd images), it doesn't had any nodes on the ACTIVITY description and I added 
one ELEMENT.
Trying to reproduce the same behaviour on the Archetype Editor, I got another 
structure and cannot reproduce the first weird specialization (4th image).
Here are the 
screenshots:https://plus.google.com/109540968085207927247/posts/er5QzBkc5Mt


Just for clarification:
* I'm using AE 2.2.779* In all cases I do: File  Specialize when editing the 
parent archetype (images 1  2)* I asked for this  I think it would be better 
if the AE copies the parents nodes into the specialized archetype when the AE 
user clicks on File  Specialize, of course, only when the ADL version is 
1.4 because of what I got the first time I specialize the parent (image 3).

About validation, it takes a lot of time to do something manually, then 
validate - fix - validate - fix again ... that time could be saved using just 
the AE.

BTW: I found a possible bug when editing scpeialized archetype on image 4, if I 
put a constraint occurrences 0..0 on the DV_QUANTITY node, the ADL still says 
0..1. I'll update my AE to the new version to see if this still happen.
Just a question about specialization: is there a specialization level 
constraint? the AE doesn't allow to make an specialization from an 
specialization (3rd level of specialization).

Thanks a lot!

  Manual copying is error prone. What do you think?
 
 
 I'm not sure, but I think that when you upload a specialised archetype to CKM 
 it validates it against the parent. You can also use ADL Workbench to 
 validate it.
 
 Nonetheless, that's a nice suggestion, Pablo. It would need to be a new menu 
 item, since File | Specialise already does something (i.e., it creates a 
 specialisation of the specialisation). Maybe File | Update Specialisation?
 
 It would take a while to implement something like that, however, because we'd 
 have to make sure it handled everything properly. Even then, I'm sure that 
 corner cases would remain where the specialised archetypes got out of step.
 
 ADL 1.5 is the only real solution. I'd rather put that effort into moving to 
 ADL 1.5.

Hi Pablo,

AE is currently still stuck on ADL 1.4, so it doesn't support differential 
archetypes as defined in ADL 1.5.

Therefore, when you work on a specialised archetype in AE, you will see the 
parent's nodes only if they were copied from the parent archetype. This works 
okay (more or less) as long as the specialised archetype was created when work 
on the parent archetype had already been completed. On creating the specialised 
archetype, everything is copied from the parent. Where it fails, however, is 
that if there have been further modifications to the parent archetype, after 
the specialised archetype was created, the new changes don't magically appear 
in the specialised archetype: someone has to copy those changes manually from 
the parent.

This is a maintenance problem. Fixing this is one of the main benefits of ADL 
1.5.

By the way, Pablo, I think you mentioned recently that you were still using AE 
2.2.779. There have been a lot of improvements to how AE handles specialisation 
since then, so I recommend that you install the latest release. (Although it 
won't fix problems intrinsic to ADL 1.4, of course.)

Peter

Hi
To specialise in the current AE, you open the parent and then
File-specialise.
Cheers, Sam

Problem with specialization using the Archetype Editor

2013-01-10 Thread pablo pazos

Hi all!
I'm testing archetype specialization using the AE, but I can't find a way to 
redefine a constraint of the parent archetype inside the specialized one.The 
problem is that the AE doesn't show the nodes of the parent archetype on the 
specialized one.
Is this a bug or there is some functionality somewhere to redefine parent's 
constraints?
Thanks!
