ScanXMIAndReconcile()

 

Scans the package XMI files associated with each of the project's controlled packages and restores any diagram objects or cross-references that are detected as missing from the project

This function is useful in team environments where each user maintains their own private copy of the model database (i.e. multiple private EAP files) and model updates are propagated through the use of controlled packages; it provides no benefit when the model is hosted in a single shared database that is accessed by all team members

Each controlled package is compared with its associated XMI file and, if the cross-reference information in the model does not match the XMI, Enterprise Architect updates the model with the information from the XMI and records the update in the Output window

You can roll back such updates by right-clicking on the entry in the Output window and selecting the context menu option Rollback Update (or Rollback Selected Updates if multiple entries are selected)

Closing the model clears the entries in the Output window; an entry in the Output window is also cleared as and when you roll-back the update for it

This functionality is invoked automatically as part of the Get All Latest operation

When working in an environment that uses a Private Model deployment and your model contains a significant number of cross-package references, it is recommended that you invoke this function from time to time, following the re-importation of controlled packages - for example, after using Get Latest to update a number of packages, or after performing a number of package check-outs

  • As a general rule, avoid running this function while you have uncommitted changes in your model
  • Generally, you should:
  • Check-out a number of packages
  • Invoke ScanXMIAndReconcile
  • Make your modifications
  • Commit any outstanding changes before you check-out more packages and run ScanXMIAndReconcile again
