Migrate ArchiMate 1.0 to ArchiMate 2.0

If you have created a model for ArchiMate 1.0, you can migrate all or part of it to ArchiMate 2.0 using the Automation Interface function Migrate(). This function updates the Tagged Values and, if required, stereotypes to ArchiMate for all elements, attributes, connectors and diagrams under the selected package or element.

Example

The following VB script calls the Migrate() function to migrate the package or element to ArchiMate 2.0:

 

Sub MigrateElement (sGUID, lngPackageID)

 Dim proj as EA.Project

 set proj = Repository.GetProjectInterface

 proj.Migrate sGUID, "Archimate", "Archimate2"

 

 'refresh the model

 If lngPackageID<>0 Then

         Repository.RefreshModelView (lngPackageID)

 End If

End Sub

 

Sub MigrateSelectedItem

 Dim selType

 Dim selElement as EA.Element

 Dim selPackage as EA.Package

 selType = GetTreeSelectedItemType

 If selType = 4 Then 'means Element

               set selElement = GetTreeSelectedObject

         MigrateElement selElement.ElementGUID, selElement.PackageID

         MsgBox "Element Migration Completed",0,"Archimate2 Migration"

 ElseIf selType = 5 Then 'means Package

         set selPackage = GetTreeSelectedObject

         MigrateElement selPackage.PackageGUID, selPackage.PackageID

         MsgBox "Package Migration Completed",0,"Archimate2 Migration"

 Else

         MsgBox "Select a Package or Element in the Project Browser to initiate migration",0,"Archimate2 Migration"

 End If

End Sub

 

Sub Main

 MigrateSelectedItem

End Sub

 

Main
