Opening a cloud based repository with id and password credential

[priombiswas89]

I have developed a command line tool which can open a local EA repository file (.EAP), make some operation on models and provide output on console with the following code:

Code: [Select]

Repository eaRepo = new Repository();
eaRepo.OpenFile(inputFilePath);

where inputFilePath points to a local repository file. Now I want to connect to a cloud repository, which is password protected. Is there any way to access the repo in cloud? I am using c# project.

IIRC there's an OpenFile2 as well that accepts a username and password.

For the input file path, how should I specify the http path, port and the model name? Is there any specific format for that?

I guess that you can pick the DSN from the Open menu when you select Edit Connection String from the context of the DB.

I have tried the following but didn't work, said file not exists:

Code: [Select]


eaRepo.OpenFile2("EAConnectString:Test-Architecture-CM --- ;Connect=Cloud=protocol:http,address:apec.test.de,port:80;Data Source=Test-Architecture;DSN=Test-Architecture;","abc","abc")


I can create a shortcut of the cloud EAP file with the connection string though:

Code: [Select]

"EAConnectString:Test-Architecture-CM --- ;Connect=Cloud=protocol:http,address:apec.test.de,port:80;Data Source=Test-Architecture;DSN=Test-Architecture;","abc","abc"

Try leaving the first part off:

Code: [Select]

eaRepo.OpenFile2("Connect=Cloud=protocol:http,address:apec.test.de,port:80;Data Source=Test-Architecture;DSN=Test-Architecture;","abc","abc")
This same principle works for database connections. I've not used it with a cloud connection before.

Tried, didn't work, says file doesn't exist. The solution only works if I create a shortcut from the connection string and rename it as a .eap file. It would have been great if direct connection to cloud can be established. Also I am facing another problem, SuppressSecurityDialog is not working, by default or explicitly setting it to true is not working. I am using EA version 13.5.

Code: [Select]

Repository eaRepo = new Repository();
eaRepo.OpenFile2("Connect=Cloud=protocol:http,address:apec.test.de,port:80;Data Source=Test-Architecture;DSN=Test-Architecture;", "abc", "abc");
eaRepo.SuppressSecurityDialog = true;

You likely need to mail Sparx support unless one of the supporters picks on this one.

I have emailed the support about the problem. Also, I have tried to find a documentation regarding connecting to a cloud model, but so far no luck. Do you have any idea?

Following is the working code:

Code: [Select]

eaRepo.OpenFile2("Test-Architecture-CM --- ;Connect=Cloud=protocol:http,address:apec.test.de,port:80;Data Source=Test-Architecture;DSN=Test-Architecture;","abc","abc")

So it's the first part until the colon from the connection string that you have to omit?
