Cannot select a project from the DB repository

[cjdavies]

I am running EA Corporate 13.5, with a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database for the repository. I have followed the instructions for transferring projects to the repo for three different projects, but when I connect to the repo to get a project, I always get the last one transferred and I cannot see which projects are in the repo in order to select one. What am I doing wrong? I have just started using this product, but I would have expected to see some kind of project browser for accessing the projects in the repository. I have this in my data modeling tools, but I can't find one in EA.

EDIT: On re-reading the documentation, I get the impression that the repository can hold only one project at a time. Is that really the case?

Each database instance contains a single project/repository.

That is also why you get the warning when transferring the project saying something like "Are you sure? This will destroy EVERYTHING in the target repository"

The problem might be the confusion with the term project.
If with "project" you mean root folder in the model then yes, you can can have multiple root models in a single repository.

But I can imagine that you have multiple .eap file that you want to transfer to a single DBMS repository right?

Now in that case you choose the largest one and use model transfer to transfer it to the central repository.

For the others you'll have to use xmi export/import to transfer the contents.

You are correct - I was thinking of a project as being the same as a root node in the .eap file. I just tried your suggestion and did an XMI export/import into a new root node. Thanks!
