Generating Schema Files from an XMI File

To generate schema files from an XMI file

  1. Select the XMI Import command from the File menu in the JADE development environment.

    The XMI Import dialog, shown in the following image, is then displayed.

  2. In the XMI File text box, specify the name of the XMI file extracted from Enterprise Architect.

    If you are unsure of your file name or location, click the Browse button. The common File dialog is then displayed, to enable you to select the appropriate file.

  3. In the Output Directory text box, enter the name of the directory that will contain the scm and ddb or .ddx files generated by the application. If you are unsure of the location, click the Browse button.

  4. Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

You can then load the generated schema files in the target system.

Minimal validation is done during the import process. Errors are detected when the schema is loaded and displayed to the user for correction.
