Using the Repository Manager.

Warning: In order to complete the tutorial exercises in this document, it is necessary to change Rhapsody settings so that it accepts spaces in names. See User Guide.

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

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

    

3. Add Syndeia profile to model by selecting Add Profile to Model… from the Rhapsody File menu and adding the Syndeia profile as shown in Figure 2. Click Open to complete.
   
   

4. Select the Satellite block in the containment browser and launch the Syndeia Dashboard using the Syndeia Windows batch file in the Syndeia installation folder (see Syndeia User Guide). This will open the Syndeia Dashboard with the Repository Manager tab showing, as shown in Figure 3. (Launching the dashboard using the Rhapsody right-click menu is not recommended at this time).
5. 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 4 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.
      
      

      
      
      

6. To add a new Teamcenter repository to the list on the left, right-click on Teamcenter Repositories and select Add. The window shown 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.
      
      
      
      

7. To add a new Teamcenter repository to the list on the left, right-click on Teamcenter Repositories and select Add. The window shown above 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).
