New here...need to access the repository

[Deepak]

Is scripting a good way to access the repository? I also need to modify/edit the final documentation. Help.

Hi,

scripts are indeed a way to access the repository as well as a add-in would be.

I don't get your help question correctly, because everything is stored in the repository and the final docucments you get from reports is a compilation of the elements from the repository.

That means:

Documents are compilations of information. Which infomations is called from elements are handled in the document template. The definition, which elements are used or searched through the template are managed by packageelements and elements.
All this elements and packageelements are stored in the repository.

If you want to edit the docucment, you either have to edit the template(than it will do the same poll on element-infomation for every element of that type) or you give your elements the information you want to have and bring them into your template.

Or you need to modify if after its creation.

Hi
I am new with this UML tool. I have a EA project where my Boss wants me to get into the database and he wants me able to access each package, element, and child etc. What would be the right way to do so ? Help me with this.
Thank you

Hi Deepak,

Your boss is just sending you right away to the jungle then  
You can open an .eap file either using MS Access or a database repository using the DB tool of your choice and inspect the tables.
t_object is a central one i guess ...
