How to get sub packages?

[nsuser]

Hi,

I have an empty EA project in which I try to get existing packages.

Say I have a parent.xml file which holds the top package and two sub packages child1.xml and child2.xml.

When I use the GetPackages command I can only choose 1 package. Say I pick parent.xml. This will go through fine and I see the structure with the two sub packages. However, I do not see the contents of these packages and I have found no way to get those packages. (at least not one which does not change the content of the xml files)

I'm sure this must be a very simple thing to do, but I haven't found it yet.

Any ides how this should be done?

Thanks,

Edwin.

Your child packages are saved to stubs only.

In Project | Version Control | Version Control Settings, check This model is private.

You can then use Get Latest on the child packages, or Get All Latest anywhere to import the children.

(Note: Build 831 allows Get All Latest in shared models.)

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your answer. Initially it did not seem to work for me. The contents of the child packages remained empty.

I then noticed that my version control settings were pointing to a folder deeper then my colleague. After modifying this I was able to get the contents of the child packages. Does this make sense? I would expect it to work regardless of where I point my version control settings to.

I suspect that if your paths don't match, then EA won't be able to find the files to import.

But thanks, you gave me another thing to try to be aware of.
