Using the Repository Manager

The objective of this exercise is to create access from the MagicDraw to a new repository using the Syndeia dashboard.
 

Start MagicDraw and open a SysML model. In this example, we use the Satellite sample model provided as part of the ParaMagic parametric solver plugin, but any model with a block structure should work. The Satellite model with BDD and Containment browser open are shown in figure.

Add Syndeia profile to model by selecting Use Module from the MagicDraw file menu and adding the Syndeia profile as shown below. Click Finish to complete.

Right-click on the Satellite block in the containment browser and select Syndeia→Dashboard. This will open the Syndeia Dashboard with the Repository Manager tab showing, as shown in figure.

To add a new Windchill repository to the list on the left, right-click on Windchill Repositories and select Add. The window shown in figure below will appear.

1. Under Repository Name, enter a short title (e.g. WC-User) that will represent the repository on the Syndeia dashboard.

2. Under URL, enter the link to the Windchill repository. Your PLM administrator should be able to provide this.

3. Enter your User name and password. In order to make connections to elements in a repository with Syndeia, you must have access to the repository listed in the URL.

4. Click OK.

   

    

To add a new Teamcenter repository to the list on the left, right-click on Teamcenter Repositories and select Add. The window shown in figure below will appear.

1. Under Repository Name, enter a short title (e.g. TC-User) that will represent the repository on the Syndeia dashboard.

2. Under URL, enter the link to the Teamcenter repository. Your PLM administrator should be able to provide this.

3. Enter your User name and password. In order to make connections to elements in a repository with Syndeia, you must have access to the repository listed in the URL.

4. Click OK.

   

   
   

The left-hand panel under the Repository Manager tab should show the new repository. Select that repository and it will appear on the right-hand side of the dashboard. The right panel will now show all the products which the user has access to for Windchill, or the contents of the home folder for Teamcenter.
