"Unknown Transition Source or Target" XMI Import

[Thelonius]

While doing an XMI import, "Error: Unknown transition source or target" pops up, but the import seems to complete anyway.

Using multiple packages on SQL Server repository, client is EA 7.5.

Anything to be worried about?

I'm guessing this may be due to people having packages checked out - but that's just a guess.

I think it happens whe you have controlled packages and import one which contains connectors to elements from another one which you have not imported before.

Then again I recall that I had this message when importing a package which was complety independent. Analysing the xmi file showed some orphaned elements not visible in the project browser which EA had misteriously left within the project when their parent elements had been deleted.

So the messagge could mean you have dependencies on a package not contained within you project, or it could be the result of an xmi exporting bug within EA. Hard to tell since EA does not provide details (the xmi import log file just contains these stupid messages, without listing IDs or anything telling which elements have not been found).
