Import models from other ARCHIMATE tools

[lrobinet]

With the new MEGA for ARCHIMATE product you can model with the ARCHIMATE notation, but what standard functionalities exist to import existing diagrams in other tools, such as BizzDesign, into MEGA in order to initialize the MEGA repository and not remodel everything?

Attempts of imports of xmi, xml, xmi and xmam files into MEGA have not prooven satisfactory.

Does a specific import tool need to be made?

Now the Archimate model exchange format does exist does Mega support it?

There is no specific import for Archimate models, as there is no standard format which accepts this notation.

I confirm that custom import has to be undertaken. For such developments, keep in mind that we are partnering with companies that have toolkits and experience that enables us to build such tools in a  very efficient manner.

Hello Leslie

There is no specific import feature for Archimate diagrams in the MEGA EA Platforme (product MEGA Suite for Archimate, MEGA Exchange). If generic tool did not help you import such diagram, you have to design and code a specific import tool.
