Building project tree with custom folders

[terje]

Hi,

Our company is considering moving all the project models into one large EA model (SQL based).

In order for this to work, we need to divide all the models into a structure that corresponds to our customers and projects. For example to have the root nodes being customers, and under these nodes each project for the customer. And under these projects, the usual UML views shold be located

Is this possible? Do you see any other problems with moving all models into one large?

Yes, it's possible to have a multi-project repository on DBMS !

We're using it !

You just have to create a standard tree structure for each elementary project, export it's package in XML  [right-clic a package and Export Model to XMI] ans then re-import it for each new project
BUT with the absolute necessity to TICK the "strip GUID's" option of the Import Model from XMI function !

otherwise you crash all the existing projects !  

some limitations : all customisations are "collective" !
- security can be actived but visibilty is global : each project member can see other projects (even if he can't modify it !)

- alternate images are collective : the images of projectA are in the list of images for projectB

- the same for stereotypes, template for documentation, ...

Thanks for your answer Joel!

One question: How do you organize your project tree then? If all projects gets its own package, where are these located. As I wrote before, I am intereseted in having a customer/project tree structure to organize the models.
