Introduction to the XMI Import/Export (XMI Import/Export)
XMI Import/Export provides a way of exchanging Modeler data with third-party applications, such as code generators and general analysis tools.
XMI Import/Export exports XMI in accordance with OMG's MOF 2.0 / XMI Mapping Specification, v2.4.
XMI Import/Export imports XMI files that are compatible with XMI Mapping Specification v2.4.
XMI Import/Export imports and exports most standard UML metatypes supported by Modeler, the UML Profile and the SysML Profile.
To export an XMI file, on the Tools menu, point to XMI, and then click Export - you then select a target folder and specify a name for the generated file.
To import an XMI file, on the Tools menu, point to XMI, and then click Import - you then select the XMI file you want to import. XMI Import/Export creates the XMI file items in the Model. If XMI Import/Export cannot import an item, Modeler skips the item and continues with the next item. XMI generates an import log to your Windows temp folder.
Alternatively, you can use the command line interface to export or import an XMI file.
To use XMI Import/Export you require a Modeler license.
• When you install XMI Import/Export the Modeler installation program sets up the Java SE Runtime Environment on your computer.
• XMI Import/Export uses the Modeler automation interface to perform export and import operations.
