Bugs and Issues / Interoperability with click to run (C2R) oledb drivers

« on: October 03, 2025, 08:32:33 pm »

Previously, EA could make use of the OLEDB drivers provided by MS Access but that only seems to have been possible with the conventional MSI packages of MS Office / Access. Now Office & Access are often installed via the click to run (C2R) installers and whilst EA can find the drivers it doesn't appear to be able to use them and throws an error. Is this something that is fixable by Sparx or is this down to the way that the drivers are exposed in the C2R installations?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Maximum size of package for ArchiMate Exchange File Format?

« on: November 14, 2019, 07:16:00 pm »

I'd like to export part of an ArchiMate model into the ArchiMate exchange format but I'm getting the error "Selected Package too large for generating Model Exchange File Format." Does anyone know what the maximum size is and what governs that maximum size?
Is there a good workaround? The pop-up tells me to try exporting the individual child packages which executes without error but I lose the links between the elements in different sub-packages which doesn't meet my needs.
Thanks,
