Extracting descriptions and comments from Sparx EA

[acohen1902]

I am migrating models from Sparx EA to another CASE Tool. I have managed to migrate the models without any issues but the descriptions and comments have not come through. I believe these can be extracted to an Excel Spreadsheet so that they can be uploaded but I not clear how to do this so any advise would be gratefully received

The easiest place to start would be the CSV export.

Hi!

Yeah, Geert is right, a way is with CSV export, please read this article to do it: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/model_exchange/csvimportexport.html

Another way could be exporting to XMI: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/model_exchange/exporttoxmi.html

Or publishing as a XML:
Publish>Model Exchange>Publish As>Choose the correct model language.

I hope that could works!

Extracting descriptions and comments from Sparx Enterprise Architect (EA) can be done in different ways depending on your goal and the format in which you need the data.

Thanks for the information! I'll check out the CSV and XMI export methods, as well as the XML publishing option.
