Failed BPMN XML export

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I'm attempting to export a BPMN model (diagram + nodes) using the BPMN 2.0 XML format. For this project, Activities have been documented using the "Linked Docs" so we currently have a rather large amount of data in the DB.

The XML file that's produced is only 1KB with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<bpmn:definitions id="EAPK_A431E0CA_4860_4305_BDF5_B180510055C1" targetNamespace="www.sparxsystems.com.au/bpmn20" xmlns:ssbp="www.sparxsystems.com.au/bpmn20" xmlns:bpmn="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:di="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" xmlns:bpmndi="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" xmlns:dc="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC" exporter="Enterprise Architect" exporterVersion="11.1.1113"></bpmn:definitions>

I wonder if the Linked Document information interferes with the export module.
I tested it with EA 11.1 (1113) as well as the latest EA12 build with the same outcome.

Any idea?

Thanks,

I wouldn't expect linked documents to have any impact whatsoever. They wouldn't be included in the BPMN export.

I expect what is happening is that you've tried to export at a high level. The BPMN elements are one of more child packages down and the BPMN export only works with a single package. (My early morning memory tells me that BPMN doesn't have a concept of a package)
