Syndeia now provides the ability to create and manage projects independent of a SysML model. Users can create a new Syndeia project and use it as a container for managing connections/relations between model or model elements originating in different repositories, including connections involving SysML models in different SysML tools. Users can concurrently work on the same Syndeia project from different Syndeia clients/plugins. For example, users can define a Syndeia project for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and can connect multiple SysML models (same or different SysML tool), JIRA projects, Windchill projects, DOORS-NG projects, or GitHub repositories to that same UAV project on Syndeia Cloud. This makes it possible to truly build a federated and integrated Total System Model for the UAV system. Syndeia projects and their contents can be accessed via Syndeia plugins/clients and Syndeia Cloud's REST API.
Note that this feature is available when using Syndea plugin in cloud mode (backed by Syndeia Cloud).
Users can select an existing Syndeia project or create a new project when launching the Dashboard. When you attempt to launch the Syndeia Dashboard, a project window opens as below. Select a project, e.g. UAV-9000, as shown below and click the OK button. Or, create a new project by providing a key, name, and description and clicking on the New button. You can work on the same Syndeia project from multiple Syndeia plugins (same or different SysML tools) and clients (e.g. Standalone client). The project key is an important field. It is a short phrase (upto 10 characters) to uniquely identify a project and is used as a prefix for all Syndeia information created in the context of the project. For example, all connections/relations created in the UAV-9000 project will have keys pre-fixed by UAV-9000, such as UAV-9000-R1, UAV-9000-R2, UAV-9000-R3, etc.
Users can also create versions (snapshots) of Syndeia projects, mark them as milestones, and compare versions to view the chronological list of events, such as relations created, modified, and deleted between two versions. Learn more about it here.
