Transfer a single rootNode from DBMS to .EAP file?

[Mesple]

Hi all,
I'd like to transfer only one rootNode of my model hosted on a SQLServer into a new .eap file.
Is-it possible?
I tried to do that by using the export/import .xmi function but it doesn't work (Memory fail during import) 
Thanks for your response.

It might be faster to do a model transfer and then delete all the other rootnodes.
If it's a lot you might want to start deleting a bit lower in the tree to keep the units to delete a bit smaller

I once wrote a script that did a bottom up delete, but even that sometimes failed.

Either the XMI way (which does not include resources like images etc.) or simply transfer (Configure/Transfer/Model) the whole model and delete the unneeded roots afterwards (plus compress .eap).

Thanks for your advices. I tried to do the transfer of all the roodNodes of my model from DBMS to .EAP, but the file created is to too big for Access  .
Any idea?

Transfer on the SQL Server to a new one. Remove the roots. Transfer the rest-model.

How big is too big?
Are you sure your database isn't carrying around way too much data (such as auditing)

If the repository contains a lot of stuff, I suggest transferring it into a FEAP (FirebirdSQL) is probably better than an EAP.

FEAPs also support longer character fields than EAPs too...
