Merging packages

[EvilGraham]

Having imported 2 separate Rational Rose models which shared some controlled units, I find I now have 2 separate copies of some utility packages.

These packages are in fact the same thing, so I'd like to merge them into a single package again.

I know you can draw a <<merge>> relationship between the two, but that doesn't actually do anything. What I really need to do is make all references in the model point to the same package.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Many thanks
Graham

Hi Graham,
you probably have to do this either by hand or by automation. Doing it by hand would be to drag both copies which you identified as being the same thing onto a temporary diagram. Then you place all related objects of one of the elements and drag them over to the other one (SHIFT-CLICK on relation). Having moved everything, you can delete the orphaned element.

Hi,

It's a bit tedious but it certainly works. Thanks for your help.
