Migration - qeax file to PCS
« on: June 18, 2025, 02:16:07 am »
We have a model in qeax file that we intend to migrate onto Pro Cloud Server

Is transferring to PCS simply a matter of setting up an empty repository and then following the instructions in: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/17.1/model_exchange/performadatatransfer.html

using file as the Source, and whatever DBMS we have behind PCS as the Target?

Will the model file having 3 root nodes complicate things at all?

Yes, it is that simple.
Project transfer doesn't care about root nodes and stuff. It simply copies tables from one DB to another.

PS. You are not really transferring to PCS. PCS is only an access layer. You could even link PCS to your existing .qeax file (although I wouldn't recommend that)
