Hi.

How to use the Archimate import ? Which essential classes are current supported and how to define the mapping with Archimate classes ?

Best regards.

Hi Tshitshi,

Apologies for the delay on this. This only works in Cloud/Docker at the moment as it makes use of some infrastructure within the those versions that aren't in OS. We're working out how to create an OS version at the moment so bear with us please.

Hi

Apologies, this has fallen down the priority stack as, surprisingly, we've not had too many requests for it.

I've asked one of the team to have a look and document it, and will get that across as soon as it's done.

Quick update, we're documenting this and will create a supporting video. We're just waiting on someone to QA the documentation, we'll test it and then will get onto the video. Hopefully it will be available in the next week or so

Please see the attached. There are 3 XML import specs in there and an instructions file, with links to video explainers.

Note this is a bit manual at the moment, which we'll sort as we get demand (which surprisingly has been limited so far) - or someone in the community could help address that.

I've followed the instructions and got it to work, but found it a little cumbersome. I've spoken to the team about a simpler approach which would generate Excel imports instead. If that would be better then let me know and we'll look to put that on the stack. If anyone is looking for specific imports and can provide samples then let us know, we can create specs quite quickly

Hope it helps
