2 simple question about Cloud Service not in help

[Mauricio Moya (Arquesoft)]

I have 2 simple questions about the Cloud Service that are not clear in the help/documentation:

1) Is it required to use IIS with Cloud Service? or is it optional.
2) When connecting EA to a Cloud based repository, in the field "Model Name", what is supossed to be input? The model itself has no name. The database (MySQL, in my case) has a name, but not the model. It seems not to work with the database name.

- IIS is optional.
- the model name is the name at the end of your connection string defined in the cloud service client.

Thank you.  But in the cloud service client there is no place to input this name, so I don't really know what this name is

It's the name you give the datasource in the ODBC data sources administrator. (For any ODBC datasource)

And what if the connection is not via ODBC but, for example a SQLServer connection? what is the name in this case?

I didn't answer that because you specified MySQL. Okay, the non-odbc names are the following.

• Firebird repositories are most often files in the cloud service directory. The model name will match the file name.
  
• Oracle repositories can be accessed using an OLE DB connection or an ODBC connection.
  
  If the database manager shows:
  oraoledb.oracle.1:user@mymodel
  Users will enter "mymodel" as the model name in the connection dialog. Note that this means a cloud server can't connect to multiple schemas on the same database via OLEDB.
  
  Alternatively, if the database manager shows:
  msdasql.1:anonymous@my model
  Users will enter "my model" as the model name in the connection dialog. Note that this allows connecting to multiple schemas within the same database.
  
• SQL Server repositories can be accessed using an OLE DB connection or an ODBC connection.
  
  If the database manager shows:
  sqloledb.1:sa@server\instance.mymodel
  Users will enter the database name, "mymodel" as the model name in the connection dialog.
  
  Alternatively, if the database manager shows:
  msdasql.1:anonymous@my model
  Users will enter ODBC connection name, "my model" as the model name in the connection dialog.
