Title: c# .eap exports in EA13 one forth bigger than exactly same export in EA12
Post by: bob on February 02, 2017, 04:08:23 am

Hi guys,

due to backup purposes I'm creating backups of the EA model on a daily basis.

I just realized doing it the first time in EA13 the resulting .eap file is now 20MB instead of 15MB before i switched to EA 13.

repository.GetProjectInterface().ProjectTransfer() is doing all the work, same logic on both ends just the EA version increased by 1.

Anyone any idea what could be the cause of this?! Data seems to be the same...

Many regards,

Just try running Project/Data Management/Manage/Compact. I don't think the project transfer will do that.

Hello ,

We are also facing same issue.in EA10 our model size was 650MB after shifting to EA13 it increased to 900 MB

Is there any specific reason for this increase?

 Did you try running compact file option in the transferred EAP.?
Compacting it reduce the size with losing any data :)
 
Please refer Compact a Project (http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.5/model_repository/o548.html) for more details

Seems like an awful large model. Are you sure you are not dragging along a bunch of (useless) old auditing data?
