Create a Project in a SQL Server Database

1

Create a new empty database.

2

Load the EASchema_1220_SQLServer.sql file from the Sparx Systems website into your SQL management console of choice (such as Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio).

3

Run the script to create the required database schema.

1

In Enterprise Architect, open the file-based project or template from which you are creating the project on the repository.

2

Select the 'Configure > Model > Check Integrity > Project Integrity' ribbon option, and execute the check.

This ensures your project data is 'clean' before being copied to the repository.

1

Open Enterprise Architect.

(If the 'Open Project' dialog displays, click on the Cancel button to open with no project loaded.)

2

Select the 'Configure >Model > Transfer > Project Transfer' ribbon option.

The 'Project Transfer' dialog displays.

3

In the 'Transfer Type' panel, select '.EAP to DBMS'.

4

In the 'Source Project' field, type the name of the project file to copy to the repository.

If the .EAP file has Replication enabled, this must be removed before performing the transfer.

5

At the right of the 'Target Project' field, click on the button.

The 'Datalink Properties' dialog displays.

6

Select 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server' from the list.

Click on the Next button.

7

On the 'Data Source Details' page of the 'Datalink Properties' dialog, type in the server name, database name and any security details required.

Click on the OK button. The 'Project Transfer' dialog redisplays.

8

If required, select the 'Logfile' checkbox and type a path and filename for the data transfer log file.

9

Click on the Transfer button to begin the data transfer process.

10

When the process is complete, you have created a project on a SQL Server database and can now connect to it and open it from Enterprise Architect.
