Error: Root Package already exists
« on: April 29, 2011, 03:23:34 am »
I get the following error: Root Package already exists in another location; Conflict is with exiting package "xxxxxxxxx".  How can i determine the other location?  My goal is to load multiple files into a single file and then store the single file on Subversion.  Any advise / guidelines will be welcomed.
Regards,

Thom,

An error like this would mean that you already have a package with the same GUID in your model.
You can find that out by querying the t_package or t_object tables.
Another option would be to import the xmi files with the "strip GUID" option checked.

Hi Geert,
Your suggestion worked,  I was able to complete the import of the files in to the single package and project...
Again Thanks for your suggestion.
