Hi,

I have worked for several weeks on a local project. Today I have moved it to DBMS repository by Project Transfer > File to DBMS.
After that transfer I am facing several issues in my DBMS repository:
- objects' notes and attributes' notes are not displayed - I checked in t_attribute and t_object table and they are there, but they are not displayed in EA
- actions on my activity diagrams are no longer of "Call behavior" type and they don't have the "Behavior" in Properties tab, also I have lost the references to activity diagrams.

Have I missed any steps during the project transfer? Is there a quick way to fix these issues?

I am using EA 15.1.

Before you do a project transfer make sure to do a project integrity check (and fix errors)
Then try a new project transfer. (this will wipe the DBMS repository)

Thank you for the tip.
I did a project integrity check ("Report Only") and everything is fine - no problems were found, so that's probably not the cause :(

If the project integrity check doesn't fix it, I'm all out of ideas.

There should not be a difference between your local model and your DBMS model at all if you do a project transfer (which is basically a table per table copy of the whole database)

Did you get any error during the project transfer?

If I where you I would contact Sparx support to check what they have to say about it.

We solved the issue - using OLE DB Provider instead of ODBC Driver 13 fixed it.
Thank you for your assistance, Geert.
