Bingo! I disabled EANavigator and generated my complete model spec … good eye, spotting that! Thanks for your patience and help, now I can get on with the real eval/work!

[Wayne Stidolph]

The eaDocX trace is from a went-wrong (“EA has stopped working”) run; the doc (which looks at least superficially fine) is the output from that failed scenario. I posted the trace because there’s that one warning about “First-time” in it and I thought perhaps that would be a clue, though I don’t actually see how.

There was still the same general Application Error pair in the Windows Logs/Application:

Faulting application name: EA.exe, version: 10.0.0.1006, time stamp: 0x5109a97f

I hope EA comes up with a suggestion, this is a bit frustrating (not a good “trial” experience 🙂

(I thought I had replied but don’t see it in the Forum, so – sorry if this is repeat info.)

It’s not “very unlikely … this happens again” – it’s completely repeatable at least on some models: a Quick Doc on a model or package of more than trivial size requires an EA restart and (inconsistently) some task/doc cleanup.

I have upgraded to EA 1006, no improvement. (BTW, the EA upgrade lost the eaDocX trial key and I had to re-enter it.) I have upgraded to Word 2013 (in the Microsoft Office Home Premium subscription suite), no improvement.

But I’m coming off thinking it’s really size-triggered, because I found one good-sized case where it doesn’t happen – it seems to be OK with the eaDocX GetLostSample :laugh:

Since the upgrades I have also gotten a couple more oddities probably related to process abnormal endings: a locked file named “Document1” left over, some eaDocX Error 7 and Error 6 alerts, sometimes the output file isn’t locked at all. This varies from run to run.

I thought maybe it’s related to a modelling mistake I made, so I created a brand new Model, using the EA SysML 1.3 AddIn, and then attempted a QuickDoc on the untouched Model. The resulting doc is attached, and the trace is copied in below.

Hope the info helps you/EA sort out the problem!

bump … any advice on a workaround? Is Doc Generation completing without problems for moderate-size model for other people using Windows 8? I need to make tooling recommendations to my client, like, tomorrow …

[Wayne Stidolph]

The difference is that I start by creating the Requirement Req1 in EA, with a TV, then I right click on the Req1 in the package browser and select Extensions | eaDocX | Open in Excel | Element. Now look at the single-line spreadsheet which opens (no TV displayed), and look in the Columns tab – there’s no TV entry to check

For the second, I just create yet another Requirement (with TV) in EA, then I drag that new Req2 on top of Req1, so Req2 appears as an indented “owned by” child of Req1. I can’t get to Req2 starting from the package level (not following ownedBy links?) nor does directly opening Req2 yield any TV (just as with Req1)
