One repository -multiple projects

[SB77]

Hi ,
I am new to EA and trying to understand how i can add multiple projects in one repo.
I have the database setup with the default .eap.
when i try to add a new project in the repo using Tools-> data management-> project transfer
I get the message saying "the target project will be erased prior to transfer"....
I am confused and would really appreciate some help!

This means that the very first time project transfer you can use using this...but when if you need to add on to your repository then you cannot use this as it will wipe of your other data. Instead you need to use Import/Export XMI functionality.

A repository is mapped to a SQL database. This can be MS Access (EAP) or one of the popular RDBMSs. Inside a repository you have a model of "anything". If you have multiple projects these can see each other and you probably want to setup security to allow single groups only access to their area. This can be done via EA security or by using VC. The latter will bring up some dilemma as UML is not really prepared for branch and merge, like its done for source code (where this works well). Alternatively you can work with multiple repositories and share parts via XMI ex-/import.
