Cloud Services Configuration Client
At any point after installation you can configure the Cloud Server using the Configuration Client application; the installer will create a Cloud Services Configuration Client shortcut on the desktop (this name might vary slightly depending on which of the Cloud Service Products you installed).
By default the Configuration Client executable is accessible from the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\Cloud Services\Client' folder.
The Configuration Client can be used from any machine on your local network; however, communications between it and the Cloud Service are not secure, so it should not be used from outside a secure network.
The Configuration Client is used to configure various settings related to the Cloud Service and the repositories it connects to. When the application first starts, a prompt displays to log into a Cloud Service (see the Logon Screen topic for details). Once you have logged in, the main screen displays.
The Main Screen
This screen shows a list of all defined database managers and the details of the connected Cloud Service. It is also the entry point for all management functions; that is, new database connections can be created, existing ones edited and old ones removed.
Sparx Systems Cloud Services support connections to these DBMS products:
- Firebird
- Microsoft SQL Server
- MySQL
- Oracle
- PostgreSQL

Database Managers |
This panel lists the defined repositories that the Cloud Service managers. Each database manager definition contains the details of one database connection and a number of other properties that control how the database connection will be managed. The most important of these properties are displayed as columns in this list: Columns Database Manager - the database connection string of the repository Alias - a unique name that identifies the repository. On Enterprise Architect's 'Cloud Connection' screen this is the value entered into the 'Model Name' field. An alias can be assigned when a database manager is defined, if this field is left blank the Cloud Service will determine its value. Connections - the number of active user connections and the maximum number of connections possible. Note: typically the number of active user connections is zero, since they are only considered 'active' while a request is being processed, as soon as the data is returned to the client the connection is set to inactive. The number of connections is only refreshed when either the is pressed or a change is made to a database manager's definition. Enabled - a flag to indicate if the database manager accepts requests from clients R/O - a flag to indicate if the database manager has been configured as Read-Only SSL - a flag to indicate if the database manager has been configured to only allow secure connections Pro - a flag to indicates if 'Pro features' has been enabled for the repository, this is controlled by the 'Enable Pro Features (OSLC, WebEA and Integration)' option on the Configure Database Manager screen. |
