Accessing the Repository in Multi User Mode PDF Print E-mail

Accessing the Essential Architecture Manager repository when in Multi User mode (i.e. Essential Architecture Manager running in client-server mode providing many users with simultaneous access to the repository) is different from Stand Alone mode in that you do not directly open a Protege project file to connect to the repository. This brief Tutorial explains how clients access the repository server and takes you through the steps that clients take to do modelling in multi-user mode.

Protege Welcome Dialog

  • Open Protege. When Protege starts and presents a "Welcome" message and a list of recent files, click on the button "Open Other..."
    • If you already have Protege open, go to the 'File' menu and select File->Open.
  • Select Server Project Type. Protege will now prompt you to select a Project to open. Note that there are 3 large buttons on the left of the Select Project dialog. Click on the 'Server' button to access the server-based, Multi User installations of Essential Architecture Manager.
  • Choose server-based project. Enter the hostname of the server on which your Multi User installation of Essential Architecture Manager is located - see you system administrator if you do not know the hostname.
Each user who wishes to update the model held in the Essential Architecture Manager repository must have Protege installed on their workstation.

Enter your username and password, as supplied by your Essential Architecture Manager system administrator. Open Server Project Dialog

 

This may not be your normal network username and password, as Essential Architecture Manager currently maintains its own, separate user directory.

 

Protege will then attempt to connect to the server, using the details that you've supplied and will notify you of any problems, e.g. an incorrect hostname or password. On successfully making a connection to the server, you will then be asked to choose which project, of those hosted on the server, that you wish to open. Select the project for your Essential Architecture Manager repository. Select Server-based Project

Protege will then open the project and interact with server as you make changes to the contents of the repository. From this point onwards, you work with Protege and your repository in exactly the same way as you do in Stand Alone mode.
