Two MDG technologie in MDG Technologies window for same MDG
« on: September 06, 2016, 08:53:05 am »
Hi Everyone,
I have a strange problem. I have two MDG technologies for a custom made MDG that I have made in my Technology list under MDG technologies.

I have read through the notes already made in other various posts, looking under APPATA and in settings but I cannot find it.

It is proving to be a real pain as we did an emergency change in our MDG, and it is not being activated, it is always the old one that it goes to.

I have 12.1. My two MDG versions - the older version says " Location xyz.xml(in APPDATA), and is the one permanently active.

The new one is not activated and will not stay activated and the location just says "Model".
I would dearly love to delete the first one but cannot find it.

Any suggestions?

Go to the advanced button and remove all the MDG file locations.
that should leave you only with the ones located in the model.

MDG File locations won't list system ones or the ones in APPDATA. So, given you've mentioned that the location is APPDATA, unfortunately Geert's instructions won't help.

Instead of doing that, open windows explorer to: %APPDATA%\Sparx Systems\EA\MDGTechnologies.

That directory should contain the old MDG technology file, which you can then delete.

FYI - %APPDATA% is in a hidden folder so to see it you need to tick the "hidden items" in Windows file explorer and that is why you had trouble locating it.
Happy to help
