Hi

We are using Prolaborate and Pro Cloud Server to host and share our EA repositories.
What I wnated to make now is one shared EA project that can contain multiple smaller designs.
Threfore i created for each design a "Model root" node and below that I added the specific designs.
My problem is now that i only see the default "Model root" node (the one that has the smal red edge as additional symbol) in prolaborate when I export the project.

This are the web ea settings I use:

[model5 : settings]
sscs_protocol = "http"
sscs_server = "localhost"
sscs_port = "1804"
sscs_db_alias = "DNB Shared Repo"
auth_code = ""
default_diagram = ""
show_discuss = "true"
add_discuss = "true"
participate_in_reviews = "true"
edit_object_notes = "true"

So my question, is there a way to share multiple "Model root" nodes in prolaborate?
Or what would be the best way to have multiple designs in one project?
What can you recommend? The designs should not interfeer with each other.

Regards

I am not 2 familiar with Prolaborate but PCS (and WebEA) can expose multiple roots.

My preference is to have a single repository with multiple models stored either as multiple roots or views (the level under each root). I also think this should be best practice.

If you use multiple repositories - i.e., databases - you could face a licensing issue. Sparx Systems licenses both PCS and Prolaborate on a per repository basis.
