Author Topic: Import Attributes and Operations (Read 3050 times)

I am a new user of EA. We are developing a project with a large number of classes.

Is there a way to import attributes and operations for classes? If so, how is this done?

We'd also like to be able to export existing ones, make bulk changes to names, notes, type, etc and reimport.

Thanks

How do you intend to import them? From code or from a list?

I was hoping to be able to create the data in a spreadsheet (csv) and import the bulk entries?

This is simple. See Project/"Import/Export"/"CSV Import/Export...".

Thanks Thomas.

I tried that. It created a 'csv' file but it only has records the classes in the package. There are not records for the attributes (properties) or operations (methods)?

What have I done wrong?

Ops. I did (again) not read carefully. If you also need to import the attributes/operations then there is probably no way around either using XMI or using the automation interface. It's not too hard to do this via automation, so I probably would prefer this way. XMI creation out of the blue does not seem so promising to me...
