1. Mapping Authors can create, edit, or delete artifact types, mappings, and mapping groups. Mapping Users can use mappings during model transformation, compare, and synchronization operations but not create, edit, or delete mappings.
2. Syndeia provides a Mapping license file that every Mapping Author should have available with the regular Syndeia license. Syndeia checks for this license file to identify Mapping Authors versus Mapping Users.
3. Once the mappings are finalized by the Mapping Authors, the syndeia.mappings file (located in the .syndeia) folder must be distributed to all the mapping users to include in their .syndeia folder. Mapping definitions are stored locally in this version of Syndeia. It will be managed on Syndeia Cloud in the next release of Syndeia.

Defining Artifact Types

Syndeia's mapping capabilities are available from the Mappings tab in the Syndeia Dashboard, as shown below. In Syndeia, model elements from all repositories/tools are referred to as artifacts. Since mappings are defined between artifact types, we must first add (register) an artifact type from a given model / repository type to Syndeia. The LHS of the Mapping pane has two section: (1) Model Types, and (2) Mappings. The Model Types section lists the different types of models / repositories supported in Syndeia, such as DOORS-NG, Jama, JIRA, SysML, and Teamcenter. Right click on a model type and select the Add Artifact Type menu to add an artifact type from that model / repository type to Syndeia.

In the Syndeia plugin for MagicDraw, this content and the step-by-step tutorials are also included in the document Tutorials - Syndeia for MagicDraw.pdf. Sample models are included in the <MagicDraw_Installation>/samples/Syndeia folder.

Limitations

There are 2 main limitations in the mapping capability in this version of Syndeia. We are actively working to expand the mapping capabilities and address these limitations in the next version of Syndeia.

1. Mapping capabilities are supported for mapping SysML artifact types to Jama, Teamcenter, JIRA, and DOORS-NG artifact types.
2. Once the mappings are finalized by the Mapping Authors, the syndeia.mappings file (located in the .syndeia) folder must be distributed to all the mapping users to include in their .syndeia folder. Mapping definitions are stored locally in this version of Syndeia. It will be managed on Syndeia Cloud in the next release of Syndeia.
