Import/Export as XML

[glackenmjg]

We exported some sequences as XML and tried to import them on another PC.  The import gave errors about not finding the DTD UML_EA.dtd, which is mentioned on the second line of our exported file:
<!DOCTYPE XMI SYSTEM "UML_EA.dtd">

I found this file, UML_EA.dtd,  in the install directory of EA:
C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA\UML_EA.DTD
and so I copied it to my working directory.

The file now imports.

Question: Is this the preferred method? or:
--  does one normally modify the DTD reference in the exported file?
-- can we set some PATH type variable in EA to look in the install directory?


I checked Help, but did not see an answer to this
Thanks

Hi Michael,

When you export the XML, there is a possibility to check the EA DTD option. That option copies the DTD to the same path as your XML/XMI files.

When you copy the XML files, you need to copy the DTD as well.

So for your questions:
1) No, the path doesn't need any change;
2) No, the PATH variable is not needed when you follow the above procedure;

Greetings,
