Hi,

we are curious about the new coming Live Traceability across Jama and EA as we came across this article
Jama Software® and Sparx Systems Enhance Best-of-breed Tools Integration to Strengthen Live Traceability™ Across Systems Development

We have been using Jama Connect for the requirement management for over 10 years and Enterprise Architect as modelling tool for managing system architecture as well as creating diagrams for model-based requirements. To achieve the goal, all the requirements (textual, model-based as well as combining textual and model-based in an item) must be in Jama Connect for an effective requirement management process, our system-/ requirement engineers have spent quite an amount of their valuable working time manually coping each diagram in Enterprise Architect and pasting it in an item in Jama Connect.

In addition to such traceability between Jama Item and Enterprise Architect element, we are looking for a solution to get diagrams out of EA into an Item in Jama Connect without manual copy and paste. 

We got to know, codebeamer (an established AML Tool) does provide an integration solution with Enterprise Architect, which gets diagrams out of EA into codebeamer Item without manual copy and paste - A demo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok9YpWOj_7g

Why hat Jama Software not taken such steps to provide users with a similar solution for the integration between Jama Connect and Enterprise Architect?

    Hi,

    it is the same for us. We need the way to smoothly get EA Diagrams "into an item". Some of my users would like to get the diagrams embedded inside a rich text field. Additionally, I would like to have the possibility to update or not the diagram in Jama in case the diagram changing (the option per diagram would be great)

    Best regards.

    @Jama Software Team:
    Just want to add an additional piece of thought: 
    A solution getting diagrams out of EA into Item in Requirement management Tool without manual copy and paste like an example from codebeamer mentioned in my first post would be attractive for the customers like us, also because such solution would work directly between EA and Jama without the need to invest in installation and maintenance of an additional tool.

    So please consider this option. It will definitively help us to maximize the usage of Jama managing the model-based requirements.

    Thanks
