is it posible to make a two way merge with XMI files

[steen.jensen]

We have two different modeling groups with a separated database for security reasoning.
One part of each model should be same on both databases (application portfolio & all its integrations)
Is it possible with Corporate Sparx EA v 14.1 to do two way merge if/when the selected part is updated on each side?
XMI Export/Import, Baselining etc

Not really, unless you use Lemontree from LieberLieber.

Okey
So lock both and just have some ChangeMgmt process for any updates requested by the two partyes and any modifications is handle by my self 
Think I have to request a money rise

Not necessarily.
You can either have everyone work on the same database, or use a connection to version control such as SVN or TFS.
This works with exclusive locks, making sure only one party can change a package.

Further I think that the idea "let the machine do the ugly merging stuff" will not work. You need to cut your model into as independent as possible parts if separate teams shall work on it. But since you WILL have connections you need a (smart!) human look over the implications of a merge. What definitely won't work the long term is to let two teams work on separate copies of the same model and then create a blend. Believe me, nobody will have that lunch.

XMI files are just XML files and there are some XML merge tools out there. However as mentioned by others its probably going to be painful or not work at all. Best bet would be to look into Cloud Pro Server. I understand you can limit what different people can see in the repository.
