Compact a Project

After a period of time, through general use, a project .eap file might occupy more disc space than necessary. You can move the project to a local drive and compact the file to recover the unused space.

Access

Ribbon

Configure > Model > Check Integrity > Manage .EAP File > Compact .EAP File

Compact a project

Step

Action

1

If you have the project open, shut it down.

2

Ensure no other users have the file open.

3

Select the 'Compact .EAP File' menu option.

4

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Notes

  • Always compact projects on a local drive, never on a network drive
  • In the Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, System Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect, if security is enabled you must have Administer Database permission to compact a project
