Connect to the Asset Service

The Reusable Asset Service provides model structures and documents to you from one or more registries on remote systems. You access these registries through a Pro Cloud Server connection to the appropriate server. The connection details should be provided to you by your System Administrator or Reusable Asset Service Administrator.

Registry

This field normally defaults to the last-used registry name. If the field is empty, or if you want to switch to a different registry, click on the Browse. button to the right of the field.

The 'Cloud Connection' dialog displays.

Using the information provided by your administrator, type in the Protocol, the server name, the Port and the name of the model hosting the registry data.

For example, if you wanted to download the UBL Frameworks into your model, you would specify the server 'sparxcloud.com' and the model name 'modelpatterns'.

If advised by your Administrator, type in the user name and password for the server.

Click on the OK button; the 'Registry' field now shows the server name.
