Re: [epf-dev] Two instances of EPF

Hi Jim!

How can I share some method library? I don't see anything about this
in EPF documentation.

Is it possible, for example, to start a new method library based on
OpenUP and share OpenUP plugin between my new library and the default
OpenUP library? Or the only way to do this is using import/export
features?

Thanks again

Hi Marcos,

You can't run two instances of EPF Composer on the same machine, nor can
you open to method libraries at the same time. If you want to copy
content from one plug-in to the other, you should export one plug-in and
import it into the method library where you want to put the content
into. Then you can move content between the plug-ins. Delete the
imported plug-in when you no longer need it.

However, if you're using content in two different libraries it would be
better to share it instead of making copies of it. That way you don't
have to maintain to separate copies of the same material. You can put
the common elements into a plug-in that can be shared by the two
libraries. Check the help text on variability (contribute, extend,
replace) if you want to make changes to elements in a shared library.
