Deploy An MDG Technology
An MDG Technology can be deployed in one of two ways: as a file or from an Add-In.
Deploy From a File
To deploy your technology as a file, you have a number of choices:
| • | Import the technology file into the %APPDATA% folder |
| • | Copy the file to a folder named MDGTechnologies, which you must create under your Enterprise Architect installation directory (by default this is C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA; when you restart Enterprise Architect, your MDG Technology is deployed) |
| • | Copy the file to any folder in your file system, including network drives - use the Enterprise Architect Settings | MDG Technologies... menu option, press the Advanced button and add the folder to the Technologies path; this deployment method enables you to quickly and easily deploy a technology to all Enterprise Architect users on a LAN |
| • | Upload the file to an internet or intranet location: use the Enterprise Architect Settings | MDG Technologies... menu option, press the Advanced button and add the URL to the Technologies path; this deployment method enables you to quickly and easily deploy a technology to an even wider group of Enterprise Architect users |
To deploy your technology from an Add-In, you must write an EA_OnInitializeTechnologies function. The following example is written in VB.Net:
Public Function EA_OnInitializeTechnologies(ByVal Repository As EA.Repository) As Object
EA_OnInitializeTechnologies = My.Resources.MyTechnology
End Function
