Launching the Syndeia Dashboard.

If this is the first time you are launching Rhapsody after installing Syndeia, run it as an administrator. Machines in extra secure IT environments may require programs, such as Rhapsody, to be started as an administrator for new installations to complete. If this is not your first time launching Rhapsody after installing Syndeia, then you can start Rhapsody as a regular user.

(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 folder <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 by the virtue of creating a SysML project.

(4) The log window in Rhapsody will indicate the initialization of Syndeia and license validation.

(5) To launch the Syndeia Dashboard, select any package in the Rhapsody model browser, right click, and select Syndeia > Dashboard.

(6) If Syndeia (client) is configured in Cloud mode, you will see the Select or Create Digital Thread Project dialog, as shown below. Double click an existing Digital Thread Project, or create a new Digital Thread Project, as shown in the figure. To learn more about Digital Thread Projects, refer to the following.

If Syndeia (client) is configured in Local mode, the Syndeia Dashboard will launch as shown in the next step.

(7) The Syndeia Dashboard will launch, as shown below. Note that if you are a new Syndeia user, you will not see any repositories listed but only categories (e.g. Aras, Artifactory, and others) depending upon your license.
