Problem

A SQL-Statement is needed (here Access / .eap) that gets all Coordinate-, Routing- and Position information of links in a diagram of the Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.

Approach

Data Mining and the Usage of MDB Plus

Solution

The link routing is diagram dependent. In the following diagram the diagram „PLM Framework“ has been used. Further more the stereotype „BusinessProcess“ is requested (you have to replace these String according to your needs.
