General Board / Import Error: Root Import Package already exists
« on: July 09, 2007, 08:39:52 am »
Hello,
I'm using EA 6.1 on Windows 2000. I'm trying to export a package from one project and import into another project.
This is the sequence I follow:
1. Open project1, select package, select export to xmi where Root Package = MyUseCases1
2. Open project2, select package, for example, MyUseCases2 (so the root package is different from step #1) and select Import.
3. The import fails with "Error Root Import Package already exists in another location: Conflict with Existing Package: MyUseCasePackage3".
Now, I have gotten this to work by exporting the entire structure (from the root), and then importing into a temp package, and then copying over to the package I originally wanted to copy the items to. However it seems I should be able to do this more directly, but I'm not as familiar with EA as other tools (Rational Rose).
