Using ShapeChange on Enterprise Architect 15

[Amy S.]

Hi to everyone who's already tried the ShapeChange tool on Enterprise Architect 15, I'd like to ask your help how I can properly turn a UML diagram to a database? My setup already passed checks but it just doesn't work. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey! If your setup checks out but the UML-to-database conversion isn't working in EA 15's ShapeChange, try reviewing the mapping rules and export settings

If everything looks good on your end but the conversion isn't happening, it could be an issue with the version you're using or the export format. Make sure you're exporting your UML files as XMI 1.0. It's also a good idea to double-check that ShapeChange is pointing to the correct files and paths. And definitely steer clear of spaces in those paths, they can cause all sorts of headaches. Oh, and are you running a 32-bit Java environment? Since EA is only compatible with 32-bit, that mismatch can really throw a wrench in things. Can you tell us what error or weird behavior you're seeing when it fails?

Make sure your UML elements have the right stereotypes and profiles set. Check your config file too, sometimes one small setting there can mess things up.

Absolutely! When you're diving into this, don't forget to keep an eye on the version, export format, file paths, and the Java bitness. Those details can really make a difference!
