Server Based Repositories

project_data_tranfer

If you purchase the Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, Systems Engineering or Ultimate editions, you can upsize the .eap templates (such as EABase.eap) or any existing .eap project to a DBMS data repository.

A DBMS repository enables you to support larger models with more concurrently connected users.

Upsize Project to DBMS Repository

To upsize the Enterprise Architect models (either existing or template) to use your selected DBMS:

  1. Install the DBMS software; how you do this is explained in your DBMS documentation and beyond the scope of the Enterprise Architect documentation
  2. Create a repository and run a script supplied by Sparx Systems to create the required tables
  3. Set up an ODBC driver to enable connection to the repository(not all DBMSs require this)
  4. Open Enterprise Architect and perform a Project Integrity Check on the project .eap file (existing or template); this ensures the data is clean before uploading
  5. In Enterprise Architect, open the Project Transfer dialog, connect to the .EAP file and the repository, and transfer the project data from the .EAP file to the DBMS repository

You cannot move a model from a source .EAP file of a version earlier than 3.5.0.
