Defining file to which baselined data is exported
« on: March 25, 2013, 10:58:00 pm »
In 'Manage Baselines' / 'New Baselines' when I click on OK the export process kicks off, the progress of which is shown in the 'Export Package to XMI' box. That box shows the file to which the data is being exported. However, I can't see how to define that file locaton before the process kicks off - it's defaulted to somewhere on my C drive. how do I direct it elsewhere????

Hi Andy

The baseline is not stored in your hard drive, rather it is held is ZIP format in your model repository.

However, baselines can be exported to XML to a location of your choice, but baselines are designed to be managed by EA within the repository in which they were taken.

The baseline is essentially the same XMI file that would be created should you have exported the View / Package rather than take a baseline.

Hope this helps

All the best

Phil
