Reusable Asset Service - How to establish

[deldan]

Hello,

I would like to check how the Reusable Asset Service works. If this feature will cover my expectation then I will install it in company where I work.

The main question is, how to establish RAS?

I have found some information:

The Registry server holds the Storages of the Reusable Asset Service. It will have been previously configured by your system administrator, to be accessed though a Cloud Connection. Your system administrator will provide the connection details for you to use.

I'm the administrator for proof of concept task, so how can I establish the RAS?

A RAS is a Sparx model preferably hosted on a real database (not eap) back end.  Steps I used for a POC.

1. Install Sparx Cloud services
2. Create an EA Repository (I used SQL Server)
    - Create database
    - Install EA Schema
    - Transfer the default model to the repository
3. Connect to the EA Repository through the Cloud Service.
    - The URL used to connect to the repository is the RAS URL
4. Use EA itself to set up the storages, apply permissions etc.
