Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Newbie Help : Multiple Projects Best Practice

That's the way I understand the repositories working; which for me means setting up a single database and having all projects within that database.

Could someone confirm whether this is correct and the way the respository has to be configured?

Thanks

To expand on what I mean; for the 2 projects I mentioned in my previous post would I have the following hierarchy configured as seen in the Project Browser window?

Project A (which is a new model, root node)
 --New View (e.g. Simple)
   --New Diagram, Element or Package as appropriate
Project B (which is a new model, root node)
 --New View
   --New Diagram, Element or Package as appropriate
 --New View
   --New Diagram, Element or Package as appropriate

I'm assuming that if this is saved to the DBMS repository; all developes using that repository will see the entire hierarchy.

To prevent updates by anyone; I can then add user security to the appropriate packages/models?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm presently looking at EA for our corporation. However, I'm having difficulty in understanding how I would setup EA so multiple users can have access to various projects.

If I have 2 projects and a DBMS repository; would I basically create under the root Model a new node for each project? And create the appropriate diagrams underneath the projects node?

Such that when a developer connected to the server (through EA) they would see ALL projects shown under the root node in the Project Browser within EA?

If this is correct; could someone confirm? I'm assuming a New Model (root Node) would be used for each project root?

What would the best practice be say to ensure a use case for a specific piece of functionality could be copied between projects? Is it just a cut and paste operation?

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks
