update stereotypes profile is not recognized

[ngong]

I am maintaining a project specific profile in a separate EA model. I am changing it with about a biweekly frequency (as the definition of our DSL progresses).
In the past I could Import Profile and then Sychronize and the updated version takes place for all used DSL stereotypes.

Now, when importing, a new profile is shown by the same name with about the same stereotype names.

How to tell EA (15.2) that is shall update the exiting one rather than creating a new one?

Looks like you made a change in the fully qualified name of your profile that makes EA not recognize it as the same.

Open the profile xml file and look for any differences between old and new profile.

Yes. If you changed some stereotype's name you need to run your own migration script which will do the changes in the database. IIRC there's a Sparx script for migrating some BPMN1.something to BPMN2.0. Never looked into that one but that's probably what they do there. For my customer we have a migration script which is run for a major release where exactly those things happen. Luckly we reached a state where this is needed less and less.
