Hyperlinks and packages under version control
« on: February 04, 2015, 12:07:58 am »
Hello,

we use the 'version control' feature with SVN. All our level 1 and level 2 packages are separately under version control.
In the past, we have found that created connections between elements  in different packages results in repository problems (Keyword: Missing Cross-References). Now I detect the document "Version Control Best Practices for Enterprise Architect" by Sparx. In chapter "Recommended processes for submitting changes safely" it is described the behaviour.

Now we also have the problem with hyperlinks: We add an hyperlink in a custom diagram, which reference to a diagram in another package. Only the package, which contains the custom diagram are check out. If we check-in this change, open the EA project by another user and execute "Get all latest", the hyperlink is removed (only displayed text is available). But if also check-out the package with the referenced diagram, the hyperlink is correctly added.

Can somebody explan how to describe the user, which kind of elements require check-out of both packages? Unfortunately the document "Version Control Best Practices for Enterprise Architect" does not provide this information clearly.

Thanks.
