If selected, debug-level messages can be seen in the Syndeia Dashboard log window and the Syndeia .log file log files (located in .syndeia folder of your user directory) which can be helpful in diagnosing issues. Under normal operation, do not select this option as it may result in too many messages in the Syndeia Dashboard log window.
Repository Persistence Location
This is the location where the repository information is saved so that it can be loaded when the Syndeia Dashboard is launched each time. The repository information includes the URL and credentials (encrypted password) for connecting to a repository such as Teamcenter, Windchill, or MySQL. The default setting (USER_DIR) saves the repository information in the .syndeia folder in the user's home directory. Leave this option selected so that this information can be used across all SysML projects. The other option is to save the repository information in the SysML model (SYSML_MODEL). If selected, the repository information specified for a SysML project will not be loaded when working with another project, and has to be specified for every new project.
Connection Persistence Location
This is the location where the model connection information (connections between SysML model elements and repository model elements) is saved so that it can be loaded when the Syndeia Dashboard is launched each time. The default setting (SYSML_MODEL) saves the connection information in the SysML model itself so that when the model is saved, shared, or uploaded to a server, the connection information stays with it. Users are advised to always use this setting. The other option is to save the connection information in the user's home directory (USER_DIR). If selected, the connection information will be saved in the .Syndeia folder in the user's home directory, and the connection information from an active SysML project will overwrite the information from the previous project. The USER_DIR option is made available for this setting only for debugging issues and not for normal operation.
Save repository password (encrypted)
If checked, Syndeia will save the password of the connected repositories locally on the user's machine in an encrypted form. If uncheckunchecked, the passwords will not be saved (even in the encrypted form) and the users will be prompted for the password each time they connect to a repository.
