Session 17: Collaborative Modeling

Go Up to Tutorials

ER/Studio Repository is the server-side component to ER/Studio Business Architect and ER/Studio Data Architect that is designed to distribute work across modeling team members in a safe and controlled way, facilitating a real-time collaborative modeling environment and increasing productivity for teams. The solution implements utilities and features that enable concurrent modeling, version management for models and model objects, establishment of continually reusable data elements, and more. The secure, scalable environment is fully integrated with the current, natural workflow in ER/Studio Business Architect.

This portion of the tutorial is intended to give a brief overview and walk through of using ER/Studio Business Architect with ER/Studio Repository. It will start with the install and configuration of the Repository and continue on to include inserting a diagram into the Repository, working with the diagram in the Repository, versioning the diagram, sharing and reusing objects across diagrams and finally applying security to your diagrams. It is intended as an introduction to the Repository.
