Configure Local Mode.

By default, Syndeia is configured to operate in the local mode after installation. You do not need to configure any additional settings. However, you can follow the steps below to verify this in the Syndeia settings.

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.
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.
If you are prompted to add the SysML profile, select No since that profile is already added when the SysML project was created.
The log window is Rhapsody will indicate the initialization of Syndeia and license validation, as shown below.
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.
Check that the Select primary store setting is set to SYSML_MODEL, as shown below. If not, change it to the SYSML_MODEL click on the Apply button, and close the Settings window.

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.
