Importing package, takes too long

[Ramiro Gonzalez]

When doing a "Get latest" operation over one package under version control, this takes too much time (20-30 minutes). The dialog display the message: "Gather external references for later resolution" and the progress bar doesn't move.

Why happen this? What means this message?

Ramiro,

When VC operation take too long that is usually caused by the sheer size of the xmi file that needs to be imported/exported.
The trick is to limit the size of the packages that are controlled in VC.

You can easily verify this for yourself by manually importing or exporting the offending package to/from xmi (from a copy of the model, detached from VC). That should take about the same time as a check-in/out operation.
If the manual operation is significantly faster then there might be another issue with the VC system itself.

We found probably a bug.

When a package is marked as "root namespace" but it is nested in other package marked also as "root namespace" is when EA takes too long to update.

We removed the "root namespace" option from the outest package and everything works fine now.

Thank you for your help!
