How to migrate a Rose model to EA?

[chrvi]

Hi,  

I'd like to migrate a model from Rational Rose to EA (because of our company's decision to start using EA instead of Rose). Unfortunately our Rose support ended a quite short period before I found a note about "Unisys XMI AddIns for Rational Rose" which could have solved this task for me, so I'll probably have to migrate the model myself.

If you know a way of doing the migration without the need of decoding the model and populating a new EA model via automation, please, let me know.

Thanks.

Long shot here, but can you save or export your Rose model to EMX format? EA can import these directly. Use the same procedure you would for reading an XMI file. You'll find an option on the dialog for EMX format. It is a button (for EMX and UML2) in EA 7.0. It was pretty obvious in 6.x but I cannot remember if it was a button or an entry on the format drop-down list.

I don't think the Unisys AddIns for Rose are the property of Rational/IBM.  Google for them, you might find an alternate source.

I've searched for that several times before but I've found only Rose-customers links (i.e. announcements to contact (Rational/IBM) team) so far :-(

I did not say this: You will find "temporary" licenses which you could use for the export - then throw it away.

It's great NOT to hear this... :-)

Nevertheless, I've got no idea how to contact "IBM Rational Customer Support Modeling team" even if I knew where could I find such a "temporary" license.
And the only links I've found were just about contacting that team...

Any more "safe" hints?

Would you please forward a copy to me? I have a similar problem.
