Copy package or object from one model to another

[abeljda]

Anyone ever tried to copy a package or object from one EA project ot another? We have multiple programmers working on the same project and we need to split it up, then bring it back together. We can generate the code for the class or data models and reverse engineer them back into the original model, but it seems we should be able to just copy objects. Any ideas out there?

G'day,

Have you looked into controlled packages for team collaboration?

Try right-clicking on the package you want to export, and select the Import/Export option, which allows you to dump the package (and all elements/sub-packages to an XML file).

Open up the other model, right click on the parent package and select the Import/Export option again to pull the XML file into the model.

If the package already exists in the model I would suggest you delete it before importing (otherwise you risk getting GUID clashes during the import).

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Martin.
