Import glossary

[C. Ziller]

Hello,

only a part of our project team works with EA. But we want to use only one glossary. So we would like to export the EA glossary in a readable and writable format. Team members without EA should be able to make changes. And after these changes we would like to import the glossary to EA so that we can see the updated glossary in EA.

Sure I know the export and import functions of EA (XMI, CSV,...). But I didn't find a way to re-import the updated glossary.

Ist there any possiblity to do something like that?

Regards

I've recently made a change to my Simple VBA Excel to EA Impoter (v3) to allow importing the glossary.

Thanks, Geert! I will try it.

Hi Geert,

today I tested your EA Importer. It seems that I can only import with it. Is this right?

I need to export and import the glossary: export an existing glossary -> make changes in Excel -> import the updated glossary -> make changes in EA -> export again ... (as cycle)

Do you know any way to do this?

regards
Colette

You can export the glossary into an xml file and then somehow import that into excel, or write an export function in VBA.

Should be rather easy to export the glossary from EA.
