"Reference Data" including user-created

[Gary W.]

Hi

Step 2 from the online doc http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.3/projects_and_teams/exportrefdata.html does a good job of explaining what can be included in 'Reference Data' when one imports and exports it.

Our Architecture Landscape will have 'common' systems, with published interfaces, that we wish to let other teams (who will be obtaining the projects via an Subversion Repo, using XMI 1.x) reference from their own projects, project which will not be 'common', but rather a line-of-business application.

So it's really 'Reference Data' for our organization (e.g. "Common Finance").  Is it as simple as ensuring they export this project in addition to Sparx's own "Reference Data"?

And then we lock down the 'common' systems so that no-one can check in any unauthorized changes?

TIA
Gary

You will need to turn on security in order to regulate access to those reference data.

Right.. thanks.  Oh and that tweaked me to look further into this and I answered my own question.  Create a 'Common' Model Branch which has as sub-packages, all 'common' projects.   Enable the security (mentioned above) to ensure that only authorized users can import changes to any package under the 'Common' Model Branch.
