Baseline Limits

[Gordon Muscroft]

I am working with a model with about 90K elements. When I try to baseline the project I receive an OLE db error/Out of memory.

Is there a limit, suggestion for a limit, etc for the baselining feature?
-Back-end is in SQL Server 2008
Note: I know I can just export sections of the model, but was hoping to do the entire thing at once.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you mean 90MB ? 90K is pretty small - we have a model of 70MB and can baseline. Be sure to "un" check the single transaction option...

I mean 90,000 classes (requirements...) which I am trying to baseline.... The size is difficult to judge as the project back-end is in SQL server...

Where do I uncheck the single transaction option?

Thanks

It's there when you open the export dialog. At least with 9.0 and later.

It should be unchecked by default....90000 sounds like a lot...so you could be hitting a limitation....i'd file a bug report with Sparx...they are good at getting back on them...

Baselining a 90.000 element model as a whole... is just too much for EA I'm afraid.
Even it it wouldn't hit the memory limit, the processing time would be awful.
Just try to baseline (or export to xmi, which is basically the same thing) a package with 900 element as see how long that takes.
If we assume a linear execution time growth (which is probably a bit optimistic) then you can multiply that with 100 to get an estimate of the actual time to baseline the whole model.

PS. We have a project with 67.000 elements, which as a size of 550 MB when transferred to an .eap file.
