Make Design Master

[JimHinson]

Why would the menu item "Tools | Manage EAP File | Make Design Master" be disabled?  This is a SQL based project; I want to experiment with replication while I'm learning how to use this tool.

Thanks,

Manage EAP file, as the name suggests, is available only in the case that you are working with an EAP file, not when you are working with a database-based repository.

Is there a way to create and merge replicas of a model stored in a database ?

[Bruno.Cossi]

I do not know, but I suspect there is not (I assume the replica function in EA takes advantage of MS Access' native functionality as EAP file is nothing but MS Access database).
MS SQL Server however has got a lot of replication/synchronization functionality, I am sure it could be used for replicating and merging EA repository as well.
I would be happy to discuss this in more detail.

Actually, I had hoped to create a local copy (replica/access database), work on this at home, then merge my changes with the 'master' in SQL.  Is this possible?

Thanks,


Jim
