Installing Syndeia 3.5 SP2

For new Syndeia Users

  • Deployment Architecture

    • Syndeia includes the Syndeia Cloud web application and Syndeia clients. Refer to to get an overview of Syndeia deployment architecture.

    • For production deployment, we recommend the following.

      • Deploy Syndeia Cloud and use the Web Dashboard

      • Deploy Syndeia clients, i.e. Syndeia plugins for SysML modeling tools (e.g. MagicDraw/Cameo, Rhapsody), or Syndeia Standalone.

      • Use Syndeia Cloud as the backend for Syndeia clients. See Cloud mode.

    • For evaluations, we recommend the following.

      • Follow the same approach as for production deployment. It is best to evaluate what you will be using in production.

      • Alternatively, users can just install and use the Syndeia clients (MagicDraw/Rhapsody plugins) without Syndeia Cloud. See Local mode. This approach is good for learning about the model transformation capabilities of Syndeia but is not a scalable and recommended approach for production deployment.
