Title: EA v 17 xml import links missing
Post by: philchudley on February 18, 2025, 11:29:17 pm

Hi All

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this bug:

1) Create a small qea repository containing two diagrams, drag one diagram onto the other as a Navigation Cell. All works as expected.
2) Export this repository to xmi v 2.1
3) Create a new qea repository and import the file created in 2) above

The navigation cell does not have it Hyperlink property and hence no longer works as expected  >:(

I have also observed that composite activities and interaction occurrences also loose their links when imported  >:(

Will report as a bug.

I am thinking of a script to fix the import, but cannot find where in the repository the Navigation Cell hyperlinks are stored. I thought it would be t_xref, but does not appear to  be the case. Does anyone know where Navigation Cell hyperlinks are stored?

Thanks
Phil

Does it need to be XMI? The Native XML (round-trip) format works fine. It essentially exports it as database tables.

Thanks for your reply

Yes you are correct in that an export / import via Native works perfectly ... however when the Model Builder (wizard) attempts to import a Native XML file ... nothing is imported  >:(

This Model Builder bug is my main issue.

All the best

Phil
