EAP files on SharePoint

[Fabian Knoll]

Hi,

I have placed the EAP file on Microsoft-SharePoint. If I am using the windows explorer (not the internet explorer) to work on the SharePoint directory, I can't open the EAP file. Enterprise Architect stops opening the file with an error message: "Coudln’t lock file".


Does anyone know a solution for that issue?

The solution is: Do not put .eap files in Sharepoint.

A .eap file is an Access database. You don't put databases on sharepoint.

Hi Geert,

thanks for your reply. I understand your point of view to "do not put databases on SharePoint" but if I am using SharePoint in this case only as a file share it should be ok. Also putting EAP files on file shares (e.g. windows file shares) is an recommendation of Sparx for small groups.

The thing is that it will try to create a "hidden" ldb file in the same directory, and sharepoint might object to that.

Thats a good point, thank you!
