problem with visual SourceSafe & Architect

[softwareEngineer]

Hi,
i'm an italian software engineer and work with Enterprise architect 5.0
with microsoft visual source safe. I've two problems with architect :

1 - I've a very complex structure of packages for examples :
<Example>
-Design View
   - Logical View
       - Features 01
           - Class Diagram
           - Interaction Diagram
       - Features 02
           - Class Diagram
           - Interaction Diagram
       - Features 03
           - Class Diagram
           - Interaction Diagram
   - Phisical View
       - Examples 1
       - Examples 2
<\Example>
This is just an example but make the idea.
There is the possibility of adding to control configuration (Visual Source safe) all package
creating a xml files every package in one shot ?
Council : In adding to configuration i must add first package Father or package son ?

2 - What is the steps for someone who wants imports all packages?
imports all .Xml manually one by one ?
I've done so:
- I've imported the package father
- "GetAlLatest" right click from the package imported,
but nothing. is correct?
A note: When I add to control configuration the package i set the relative path of package
(right click on package, "package control"->"Configure" and set in XMI Filename my path, Examples:
design\logicalView\Features01\Features01.xml)
Correct? The effect is

Forgive me for the English.

bye.

Bonjourno softwareEngineer!

The ability to add an entire branch to version control was added in the latest release of Enterprise Architect (Version 7.1, build 828). The feature generates an XMI file for each package in the hierachy and adds/commits them to version control.

In terms of importing entire package hierachies, EA now uses model branches, which can be imported from version control and will subsequently load all child packages listed in the model branch file.

I believe these features should fulfil the requirements you listed.

Version 7.1 is available from the registered users section of the Sparx Systems website. If you're not a registered user, please feel free to investigate the new functionality in the trial version, available from:

Thanks,
i have tried the enterprise 7.1 It's very integrated and simple to use.
but i must work with architect 5.0 version, can you help me ?
Summarise, i've 2 problems :

1) There are shrewdness to take when i add the package to configuration?
Architect by default creates a flat directory structure of .xml. I create a directory structure like that of model, is this the problem ?
2) In import phase. There are shrewdness to take?

Many thanks.

Hi,      
I solved the problem at the import phase. After that the user has added all to configuration, the user must 2:
-- Copy in local folder the .eap model.
-- Upgrade the working folder in version control configuration property. But this step is automatic by architect.

And everything is ok.

Thanks.
