Load a package baseline from an addin

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I have a package baseline GUID and the associated EA.Package in my addin class.
I checked how the information is stored in the DB as a zip base64 coded content from previous post.

However it doesn't seem to be possible from Sparx EA API or SQL queries to load the XMI content e.g. via an XMI import?

Check DoBaselineMerge from http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/automation_and_scripting/project_2.html. There are a couple of baseline manipulation operations.

Hi Guillaume,

Nope. You can create baselines, merge baselines, delete baselines, compare packages with baselines -- but you can't import or export baselines. What you need to do is reverse-engineer the baseline format, then create a file with properly formatted content from your package, compress that in the correct compression format and then store it in t_documents using an insert SQL statement.

And the reverse to export it, of course.

Hi,

In C#, I run the following           
eaproj.DoBaselineMerge(packageGUID, packageBaselineGUID, "<Merge><MergeItem guid=\"RestoreAll\" changed=\"true\" baselineOnly=\"true\" modelOnly=\"true\" moved=\"true\" fullRestore=\"true\" /></Merge>", null);

It works but I get the following error: the currently selected package doesn't exist in the comparing document.

The odd thing is that packageGUID matches the Package against which the baseline was created.

Any clue?

Thanks

You might need to transform the GUID with the ProjectInterface operation GUIDtoXML.

It fixed it, thanks !
