Author Topic: Images and Version Control (Read 3146 times)

What exactly are "Alternate images" as far as EA is concerned?

We have version control setup and are creating screen mockups in a separate tool and bringing those into EA as images on a Diagram.

We have "Export alternate images" enabled under options, but the other Analysts are unable to see each others screen mockups.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You need to Export Reference Data - Images. And vice versa import those into external models. There's no way to VC these reference data automatically.

If you use a dB like MySQL instead of VC to share your EA project, does it handle automatically in a centralised repository (the DB) all reference data such as images ?

Images are stored in the t_images table in the DB (be it EAP aka. M$ Access, MySQL, Oracle or whatever). Handling of images was one of the major reasons we moved back from EAP/VC files to a central repository using locks and daily snapshots.
