EA and XML input

[vishy]

Hello,

I am new to EA. I am drawing my logical data model using EA.

I wanted to check if there is a way to import either an XML definition or Excel definition which would specify the entities and other relationships.

This is because I can then give this input to any user and ask him to enter table details, foreign key details and other details in to the excel file instead of drawing it.

Hi,

there are some possibilities.

• Geert Bellekens has a tool to export / import from *.csv, see community
• eaDocX (see third party tools)
• *.csv import/export with EA standard (see online help)

There might be other solutions. Wait for answers or search the forum.

Importing relations will be tricky with CSV. You rather will use pure XMI for that. For simple entities you might try out what Helmut suggested.
