Ho To Start

OK, we have installed to sql database, we open EA, we select connect to Server Repository....it then asks us for the connection name which seems to become the model name under Recent Models...but then we can go no futher....Are we suppose to create a new project?? everytime we select the connect name under recent models it will ask us for a password......Is there any documentation for setting up a new project??? We have reviewed the complete help file for a to z and just can't seem to find the getting started section

It seems like you may have skipped creating the schema that holds EA repository (correct me if I am wrong). Download the SQL script from the corporate resources area on this website (there are SQL scripts for different DBMSs) and execute it against your database. Try to connect to the db now.

Hope this helps!

I created a blank database, then I ran the script from the EA Site. What I do not understand is this:
1: Is the repository a single project in EA?
2: If not, then how do I create a new project in the repository?

Hi,

yes, a repository corresponds to a single .EAP file. You can of course create multiple repositories, either in multipe db instances or in separate schemas.
There has been much discussion about how to use single db repository to accommodate multiple projects (e.g use multiple project root nodes). If you search throughout this forum, you should be able to find the discussions.
