Transfer a QEA/QEAX Repository to FEAP Format
It is possible that at some point you might need to share your SQLite QEA file with a team member who is using an older version of Enterprise Architect (version 15.2 or earlier). However, older versions of Enterprise Architect cannot open a QEA file. In such situations, you can use the 'Copy QEA File to Firebird (FEAP)' option to transfer all the records from the QEA file to a Firebird file that can be opened in the older versions. This option is available in the Corporate, Unified and Ultimate Editions of Enterprise Architect.
All records in the target repository are overwritten in a transfer. So if you are transferring to an existing target Firebird project, take a backup of that project to ensure that you can recover any important information it already contains.
