EA Scripting Workshop

Course Description:

This workshop teaches delegates how to write scripts to control and update models in Enterprise Architect. Delegates use VBScript to automate repetitive tasks such as updating tagged values, to manipulate diagrams and to perform a complex search and display results.

Enterprise Architect

Prerequisites:

A good working knowledge of Enterprise Architect is helpful. Some basic programming experience is also helpful, but not essential.

Equipment:

Webinar
Enterprise Architect

For webinar delivery delegates require a PC or laptop running Enterprise Architect with an Internet connection (a headset can be helpful). If you wish to test your environment join a test WebEx meeting: www.webex.com/test-meeting.html

A trial version of Enterprise Architect is fine for training and can be downloaded from Sparx Systems website: www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/trial.html. It is also helpful to have a mouse as this makes creating diagrams much easier.

Course Style:

40% theory, 60% practical
This workshop comprises a set of targeted hands-on exercises to allow delegates to become confident using scripts to control and update models in Enterprise Architect.

Delegate Handouts:

Each delegate receives a booklet containing all the workshop slides and comprehensive theory notes which form excellent reference material. Booklets also contain exercises and suggested solutions. Following successful completion of the workshop each delegate receives a certificate.
