XMI Export EA to Rose fails

[RalfK]

Hi!

I have -maybe- some basic problems.

I try to export some diagramms (use-cases, activity) from EA 5.00.772 to Rational Rose Enterprise Edition using XMI.

Rose is giving me a lot of error messages like

Bad type for getSourceX function: Association at EAID_315B8318_4CE6_4f61_938B_E9E7B55A6E14.
Bad type for getTargetX function: Association at EAID_315B8318_4CE6_4f61_938B_E9E7B55A6E14.

Nearly nothing is imported by Rose.

As a newbie, I need some hint's to understand  what's wrong here.

I've seen some statement about "bad XMI support of Rose".
But, an exchange of simple diagramms should be possible!?
Do I run in a "never get to run" problem, or is it more a newbie problem and someone can tell me which button to press to run it? :-)

Thanks for your help

Hi Ralf,

try this:

In the Exportmenu select Unisys/Rose Format and  Exclude EA Tagged Values

As I mentioned, probably a newbie problem ... ;-)

Oliver, thanks for pushing my nose to the right point!

During my last tests I've checked  the option "XMI 1.0" additionally to "Unisys/Rose" and "Exclude EA Tagged Values".

I thought this is to export a XMI 1.0 with a Unisys/Rose dialect ...

Thanks again.

So,   is what we're saying here is that "Rose cannot cope with anything in an XMI file but that which it knows and if it encounters something else it abends."

So,  a system that exports XML to a current (possibly MOF) XMI schema must if it wants to retain an ability to interchange with Rose must incur the cost of developing a schema export to match Rose's limitations???

... or am I just being cycnical...
