Title: XMI Import (ImportPackageXMI) without diagrams
Post by: Knut Jetlund on July 17, 2014, 05:57:19 pm

I want to create a fresh working copy of a package by importing it's version controlled xmi file, and stripping GUIDs. I would also like to get rid of the diagrams.

My code looks like this:
ePIF.ImportPackageXMI(pkNVDBSOSI.PackageGUID, xmiFile, 0, 1)

This works just fine, except that the diagrams get imported too, even though the parameter "ImportDiagrams" (long) is set to 0, to specify that i do not want to import the diagrams. The possible values for this parameter is not described in the EA help file, but the equivalent parameter "DiagramXML" for ExportPacageXMI has 0 for "Do not export diagrams". Is there some other value than 0 that means "false"?

Three steps - one mandatory and two alternatives. 1) Report a bug. 2a) Write a XLST to clean the XMI. 2b) Run a script to remove the diagrams after import.

Thanks. I have reported it as a bug, even though I'm not sure it is. It might also be that I am using the wrong number for setting "ImportDiagrams" to false. That's why I put it up here.

And I do have a script for removing the diagrams after import, but this should not be necessary if ImportPackageXMI work as intended.

Knut,
ImportPackageXMI(ID,...) seems to import at model level (when ID is model ID). I don't see how it can import a complete XMI, i.e. build an EA repository (*.EAP) from an XMI file. You seem to do that here if I understand you correctly. What's the trick?
Thanks,
Arjan

Hi Arjan
No, I don't build a EA Repository. I am importing the XMI file into an existing repository, but as a new package with new GIUDs and without version control.
Sorry for the confusion.  :)

It is certainly a bug. Hopefully, will be fixed soon.
