Export / import CSV file - hierachy lost
« on: April 30, 2009, 10:38:25 pm »
I've got a problem preserving the hierarchy of component type objects while exporting/importing the owning package to/from a csv file. I also tested it with other object types and have the same problem.
EA version 7.5 Build:844, scenario:

1. I have a package "Components" containing component "A" which owns component "B" (nesting relation). I've modelled the nesting relation in the project browser (moving component "A" below package "Components" and component "B" below component "A").

2. I do an CSV export of the package "Components" preserving the hierarchy and including the subfolders
3. I do an import of the CSV file (without any mod
ifications) preserving hierarchy. After that, I lose the nesting relationship between component "A" and "B" in the model. The nesting relationship between package "Compoments" and component "A" remains.

Is this behaviour a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for any suggestions / solutions.

I downgraded EA to version 7.1 Buil 834 and the problem is solved. Seems that this behaviour is a bug in versions 7.5.

Have you reported this to Sparx via the Report a Bug link near the bottom of any forum page?
No, you can't have it!

I too encountered this issue with V7.5.  It has been identified to Sparx and the Issue ID is 09042561.  No response from Sparx regarding the patch release to correct this issue.  It is being actively worked by Sparx as evidenced by the latest email reply:

[highlight]Hello Bob,

Thanks for your email regarding CSV import not preserving an element hierarchy. I have managed to track down the source of this issue and am currently working to rectify it.

Best Regards,

I am hopeful for the next patch on V7.5 sometime this month.
