Creating shortcut to a model on a server

[mhdhallak]

How can you create a shortcut to directly launch a model stored on an SQL Server database?

You can do this. The problem is that I cannot remember exactly how, nor have I been able to find the reply post I received from Sparx some time ago that explained this.

So, to the best of my failing memory...

You need to create a shortcut in windows and associate it with EA. Then you somehow change the <filename.EAP> information in the shortcut to the EA connection string or the data link name (or something). Once that's done (correctly) EA should open the chosen repository at startup.

You'll have to experiement a bit. If it works please post back and tell us which variation on the theme was correct.

Open your SQL Repository in EA, then use "File -> Save Project As...".  This will prompt to save an EAP file which will behave as a shortcut to your SQL repository.  

HTH.

That worked. Thanks!
