Seeking help for a workmate of mine
-
A workmate of mine has been developing for eons now using Rational Rose 98 (I know it's hideously out of date etc....) but we're under pressure (and recognise the need) to move to Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect: Thus he needs to do a "one time" migration of his .mdl (Rose "petal" files) to .xmi format to import into EA. EA itself doesn't support this and the converter from UniSys that I've heard mentioned while its freeware (and thus good), only supports Rose 2002 and later. Any ideas how we can do a quick and/or free conversion of the files? Thanks, Mike PS My disclaimer applies: 1) I hate Rose! 2) Am not that fond of UML either, but...

Can't you do a 2-step migration? Rose98 -> Rose2002 -> EA?

I'd say yes, but we never bought 2002 and our maintenance payments stopped ages ago. Thus 2002 is not an option, buying a whole new UML app just to migrate to the copies of EA we have seems ludicrous! (Basically my manager bought 5-6 copies of Rose 98, of which only the one guy ever used it, the rest thought it was crap, so the manager didn't then bother maintaining it).

Can you get a trial license of the current version of rose and use that to resave in an EA supported format?
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull

Read the subject line and thought that this was going to be one of those - "a friend of mine has got a funny rash in a strange place and needs to know what to do" questions.
