Perform a Project Data Transfer

Warning:

During a project data transfer, all records in the target project are overwritten. Before performing the transfer, take a backup of the target project to ensure that you can recover any important information it contains.

Notes:
  • In the Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, System Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect, if security is enabled you must have Transfer Data permission to transfer project data between repositories.
  • You cannot move a model from a source .EAP file of a version earlier than 3.5.0.
  • You must transfer data into a repository (where scripts have been run to set up tables), not just a database. If necessary, follow the steps below:

To perform a project data transfer, follow the steps below:

  1. Select the Tools | Data Management | Project Transfer menu option. The Project Transfer dialog displays.
     
    TransferData
     
  2. Click on the option for the required transfer type. You can choose from:
  • .EAP to .EAP
  • DBMS to .EAP
  • .EAP to DBMS
  • DBMS to DBMS
  1. In the Source Project and Target Project fields, type or select the name or connection string for the Source and Target projects.
  2. If you want to capture the transfer in a log file, select the Logfile checkbox and browse for the appropriate log file location.
  3. Click on the Transfer button.

It is good practise to do a Project Compare after this process to verify that all records are written.
