"Encountered and improper argument" error on export of XMI

[Ian Mitchell]

I have a repository which won't export packages to XMI, and I get this very 'final' looking error: "Encountered an improper argument". Strange, but I wasn't arguing with EA at the time....
(EA 14.1, EAPX repository, Win10, exporting to local drive, done project integrity check).
Tried on a brand-new rep, and all is fine. Packages when copied from old rep to a new one will then export OK

Strange, but packages will happily create a baselines, which I thought uses the same 'create XMI' code.
Even stranger still, and this is a first for me since about v4, EA hangs.
No way out, just have to kill the process!
I tried checking the 'write log file' option, but I can't remember where this gets written to. Anyone remember ?

Anyone seen this before?

Can also export a baseline of the package to an XMI, then re-import that file, which is even stranger.

No, haven't seen such an error lately.

The error message does ring a bell though. I'm sure I've encountered it before, but I can't remember in which situation.

Same here. Have seen that but can't recall where and under which circumstances. Mail Sparx support...
