Based on your input, Architecture Modeler creates a plug-in that defines an extension, or
add-on, to the
EA metamodel. The add-on specifies the entity and relationship types of interest in the newly supported source files.
To export the plug-in to
EA:
- Select the source file type for the extension in the
Name area in the central pane of the Architecture Modeler window.
- Choose
Export to
EA in the right-click menu.
A Browse dialog opens.
- Browse for the Plugins folder in the
Enterprise Analyzer installation directory.
- Click
OK to export the extended metamodel. The plug-in has a name of the form
<SourceFileType>Plugin.xml.
Important: If you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8, make sure you are running the Architecture Modeler with administrator rights. Otherwise
some operations might fail.
