Configure Packages

The Package Control Options dialog displays.

2

Select the Control Package checkbox to indicate that this is a controlled package.

In the XMI Filename field, type or browse for the path and XMI file for importing and exporting XMI files.

The field accepts Local Path Substitution strings; for example, use an XMI local path definition where:

myLocalPath="C:\Documents and Settings\John\Desktop\EA Models"

Then %myLocalPath%\CIM.xml is equivalent to:

C:\Documents and Settings\John\Desktop\EA Models\CIM.xml

In the UML/XMI Type field, click on the drop-down arrow and select the type of XMI generated; options include:

Currently only Enterprise Architect UML 1.3 is supported for complete import/export round tripping of packages.

In the Owner field, type or select the name of the package owner.

If required, click on the Batch Import checkbox to mark the package as a Batch Import package.

If required, click on the Batch Export checkbox to mark the package as a Batch Export package.

12

If required, click on the Include sub-package checkbox to deselect it, to include only the immediate contents of the package in an XMI export (XMI stubs); this is available only for an XMI 1.1/UML 1.3 export.

If you leave the checkbox selected, the entire sub-package hierarchy of this branch is included in the export.
