Connect and Synchronize with ER/Studio

Go Up to Tutorials

ER/Studio Team Server works in tandem with an installation of ER/Studio Repository.

Prior to installing ER/Studio Team Server, you need a working installation of ER/Studio Repository. ER/Studio Team Server supports versions 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 6.6 of ER/Studio Repository. In addition to the Repository, you will need to have ER Studio Data Architect installed to synchronize your models. To better understand the structure required, read the overview of the ER/Studio Team Server architecture.

Tip: We strongly recommend updating ER/Studio Repository and ER/Studio Data Architect to the most current versions to ensure compatibility and support for the latest features.

Connect ER/Studio Repository with ER/Studio Data Architect

1. Start ER/Studio Data Architect. Click Repository > Options to configure the connection with ER/Studio Repository. Enter the required details and click Ok.

   Note: In Server Machine box, enter the name of the Server where you have ER/Studio Repository application installed. For example, EMBTTeamServer01.

2. On the Repository menu, click Log In to connect with the repository. Repository users need to be created previously.

Add a Diagram to ER/Studio Repository

1. Open or create a new model in ER/Studio Data Architect. There are many sample models shipped with ER Studio Data Architect. If you do not have a current set of working data, you can open one of these from the templates folder.

   Note: The default path to these models is C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero\ERStudioDA_XE5\Sample Models.

2. Click Repository > Diagrams > Add Diagram.

   Alternatively, from the navigation window on the left of the ER Studio Data Architect interface, right-click the diagram and then click Add Diagram.

   • This will open the Add Diagram to ER/Studio Repository options window.

3. Click OK to synchronize the diagram with the Repository server.

Note: If you want to use these templates for other tutorials, you may want to save as a different filename before proceeding.

Your model is now stored on the Repository server. To view the data on ER/Studio Team Server, complete the next section to synchronize the diagram with your ER/Studio Team Server installation.

Synchronize ER/Studio Team Server with ER/Studio Repository

1. Open in a web browser the URL that you specified in your ER/Studio Team Server installation. For example, http://localhost:8080.
2. Log in as Admin with the password you specified upon installation.

   Note: The default password is Admin if you have not changed the default super user of your Repository installation.

3. Click My Settings > Admin > ER/Studio Synchronization.
4. On the ER/Studio Synchronization page, select those resources that you want to synchronize in the Selection column.
5. Click Synchronize Selected to start the synchronization process. The Status column will show Success when the synchronization process ends.
