Export and Import of models containing links

[arcozen]

Hi all!

I'm trying to manage under the same EA Project Repository on database, more projects as model root.
I'm able to do it, and i can also drag into some models elements coming from other models.

But when I export this model as XMI file, I'm not able to preserve linked objects (both links and new instance) importing it into a new local EAP.
Every attribute needed to ricreate linked objects seems to be lost after import into local EAP.
So i would ask if is it possible to do it and how.

Thanks in adavance

Marco,

Try importing the xmi twice.
That seems a bit ridiculous, but often does the trick.

Another option to get an eap file of your DBMS repository is to do a project transfer directly.

Hi Gert,
I tried to import xmi twice, but it didn't help
Linked object simply loose every attribute (even stereotype is missing).
Any other suggestions?

PS. Project Transfer is a global functionality (regarding the entire EA Database), while I need to import/export only selected models.
