GUID management + Moving to a single repository
« on: December 02, 2014, 11:42:33 pm »
Hello,

We are moving different projects into a single repository (under Oracle).
We encounter some issues besause of the GUID. Indeed, most of the .eap files have been created with the same .eap template. Thus some elements/connectors have the same GUID but with differtent contents (notes, properties, ...).

First question : Is it possible to reset the GUID of all or some element/connector/... of a .eap project file ?

Second question : Is it a procedure to migrate several project into a single repository and to avoid GUID collisions ?

What about RTF templates, images, ... the problems seems to be similar ?

Thank for answers and advices.

Have a nice day,
V.

To answer 1 and 2: Import the XMI and tick Strip GUIDs. That will create new elements in any case. I guess if you export images along with the XMI (there is an option in Tools/Options/XMI IIRC) you will likely also get pictures imported correctly. No idea about the RTF. But Reference Data might also need some synch if you mangled them.
