The Connection Manager tab in the Syndeia Dashboard provides an easy-to-use, drag-n-drop interface for creating connections between SysML model elements and repository elements, and generating SysML models from repository models, and vice versa.
The Connection Manager tab has four elements , as shown in Figure 61.-
- The System Model Panel, which displays the SysML element from which the Syndeia Dashboard was launched, and its sub-elements. To select a different element, such as a different package, right click on any SysML element in the System Model Panel and select Go to.
- The Connection Type Panel, which displays the available connection types.
- The Repository Panel, which displays the repository to which connections can be made. The repository shown can be changed by clicking on the panel title bar.
- The Message Panel at the bottom, which displays status and error messages during operation.

Each connection type has a specific purpose. Syndeia users must decide the purpose of connecting / integrating the SysML model elements with the repository elements, and then pick up a connection type that serves their needs. For guidance, refer to the tutorials in the Tutorials document. Not all types of connections are supported for all types of SysML model elements and repository elements. The tables in sections 4.5.1- 4.5.6 show the specific connection types that are supported for elements in each repository and the drag-n-drop operations to achieve the same. The Syndeia Tutorials provide step-by-step guide for these operations.
