Filtering out model elements, diagrams, etc. when exporting packages to XML

[awhelan]

Hello,

I am kind of a newbie to EA. I have a need to keep multiple repositories (just using user security on one repository won’t do, the need to be on separate machines). Lets say for now we are versioning XMI files in CM (Subversion) that have been exported from packages. We will be updating these and sharing (importing them) with the other repositories. There is the potential that we will want to export XMI files, but we don’t want to export all model elements or all diagrams (there are things we don’t want the sister repo seeing).

So far, the only method I can find is to manually remove model elements or diagrams that I don’t want exported to other repositories. Is there any way to filter out items (model elements, diagrams, etc.) when exporting? Or is there another, clever way or managing a scheme like this?

Thanks
-Andy

No, there is no way to do that with EA.

The only way is to use packages to divide the elements into things that can be exported, and things that can't.
Then start the export from the "to be exported" package and the elements from the "private" package will not be in the XMI export.
