Error processing XML document message when trying to create a new baseline

[Typia]

Hi,
When I try to make a new baseline on my project I have an error message "Error Processing XML Document:"

Any ideas about this ? I'm on EA 16.1

Many thanks

A baseline is basically an XMI export stored in the database.

XMI is an XML format, so that's probably where it goes wrong. For some reason he can't create a valid XMI export.

What you could try is to create an XMI export manually. If that fails, try to narrow it down to the exact element, package, or diagram that causes the problem.
There might be an invalid (or empty) name somewhere or something like that. (e.g. a name containing "<" or ">",...)

A project integrity is also worth trying.

Hi Geert thanks a lot (again) for your reply,
I tried an xmi export, I got the same message and I see it stops on an element but don't know if the element displayed is the last processed or if it's the one failing.

Using integrity check tool I see a few problems (invalid connectors and tagged value) but it doesn't tell to which object it refers ?

Thanks again

You can further narrow it down by temporarily moving the element to another package, and try the xmi export again.

With regards to the project integrity. Simply fix all errors and see if the problem with the XMI persists.

None of those works,
actually xmi doesn't stop on the same item, and when I try to export packages from items which seem to block everything is ok.
Seems more like blocking after a certain amount of items (9900 and so)

Any idea ?

No I'm all out of ideas now, except for reporting a bug and hoping Sparx support can help you further

I am imagining that the baselines are from the same package at a different timeframes, if this is the case you have to report a bug.
