Prerequisite: To use Syndeia plugin in cloud mode, your Syndeia administrator should have set up Syndeia Cloud and provided you the hostname (or IP address), port number, username, and password to access Syndeia Cloud from your machine. As a simple test, verify if you can access Syndeia Cloud by going to the URL <protocol>://<hostname>:<port> (e.g. http://mydomain.myhost.com:9000) on your web browser. You should be able to see the landing page of Syndeia Cloud, as shown below. If you don't see the landing page, check with your Syndeia Cloud administrator.


By default, Syndeia is configured to operate in the local mode after installation. Follow the steps below to configure Syndeia in the cloud mode.

  1. Create a new SysML project in Rhapsody, if you don’t already have a SysML project open, using File > New and then selecting SysML (Project Type), specifying a name and location, and clicking OK, as also shown below.



  2. Add the Syndeia Profile: Select File > Add Profile to Model. Browse to the <Syndeia Installation>\profiles\Syndeia folder, e.g. <Your_User_Directory>\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody\8.1.3x64\Share\Profiles\Syndeia\profiles\Syndeia, select the Syndeia.sbs file and click OK, as shown below. 



  3. If you are prompted to add the SysML profile, select No since that profile is already added when the SysML project was created.



  4. The log window is Rhapsody will indicate the initialization of Syndeia and license validation, as shown below.



  5. Right click on the any element in the SysML model tree and select Syndeia > Settings, as shown below. This will launch the Settings window, as shown in the next step.



  6. Right click on any element in the SysML model tree and select Syndeia > Settings. This will launch the Syndeia Settings window, as shown below. Set the Select primary store setting to CLOUD, as shown below. Then, specify the protocol, hostname, and port number for your Syndeia Cloud deployment, and the username and password for your Syndeia Cloud account. Press enter after specifying each value. Click the Apply button when done and then close the Settings window.

Refer to the tutorial on Creating a Syndeia Cloud project to get started.

Notes:

  • This setting is used when Syndeia is initialized for a project – when you add the Syndeia profile to a new project, or open an existing project with the Syndeia profile. Once Syndeia is initialized for a project, then changing this setting will require you to close and reopen the project. 

  • This setting is a global setting, i.e. it will apply to all projects once it has been set. If you want to change the setting on a per-project basis, then you must follow the steps above for each project – launch Syndeia settings before launching the Dashboard and change it for that project.
