ArchiMate® design can be serialized into an xml file that supports the standard objects and diagrams. The Hopex for the ArchiMate® Framework import aims at importing ArchiMate® Models from files so that architectures modeled in other ArchiMate® modeling tools can be reused by Hopex.
The ArchiMate import feature is available with Hopex for the ArchiMate® Framework and supports ArchiMate® 3.0/3.1 models.
Necessary modules should have been imported.
The root target container (enterprise or library) should be selected when triggering the import.
The import covers the requirements of the ArchiMate® Exchange format:
• ArchiMate Elements,
• Relationships,
• Views and diagrams,
• Folders,
• Properties.
To import an ArchiMate Model file in Hopex for the ArchiMate® Framework:
1. From Main Menu, select Import > ArchiMate (*.xml).
2. In the Import File of the ArchiMate Import - Parameterization dialog box, specify the path of the file to be imported.
3. (Optional) In the Option section, select a Target Container.
4. Click Next.
The file is uploaded, and a summary is edited.
An import report file is displayed.
5. Click Close.
The ArchiMate model, views, elements, relationships, properties and views' diagrams are created in the Hopex for the ArchiMate® Framework repository
