Create a Project in a Sybase ASA/SQL Anywhere Database
To create a project in a repository on Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere 8 or 9, or SQL Anywhere 10, 11 or 12, you work through these stages:
- Stage 1: Create an empty database repository
- Stage 2: Set up the ASA ODBC Driver
- Stage 3: Set up initial data
Prerequisites
- A machine with Adaptive Server Anywhere installed and running
- Install SQL Anywhere Studio, this also installs the ASA ODBC driver

3. Set up Initial Data
Enterprise Architect repositories require a basic amount of reference data to function correctly. For Sybase ASA-based models you can provide this by transferring the contents of an existing model into the new database.

Ensure that the 'Action' panel is set to 'Report Only' and that all items in 'Checks to Run' are enabled, then click on the . |
Check Project Data Integrity |
|
3.3 |
If Enterprise Architect detects that the existing model contains integrity issues, they will be listed in the main panel at the bottom of the dialog. These issues should be resolved before continuing with the project transfer. |

Select the 'Configure > Model > Transfer > Project Transfer' ribbon option. The 'Project Transfer' dialog displays. |
|
|
3.6 |
In the 'Transfer Type' panel, select '.EAP to DBMS'. |
|
|
3.7 |
In the 'Source Project' field, type the name of the project file to copy to the repository. If the .EAP file has Replication enabled, this must be removed before performing the transfer. |
Remove Replication |

If required, select the 'Logfile' checkbox and type a path and filename for the data transfer log file. |
|
|
3.12 |
Click on the to begin the data transfer process. |
