Connecting to an Existing Enterprise Repository

If your organization already has created an enterprise database on Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server and you have an active user account, you can use an enterprise repository connection file (*.rserp) to connect with it. You can create this file yourself or use a file that has been created by someone else. Once this file is created, it can be used to connect to the database and to import from or export to the database.

Creating a Connection File

To create a connection file, choose File > New > Create a new enterprise repository connection file.

This command creates a Synthesis repository connection file (*.rserp) that is stored locally on your computer; the file contains all of the necessary information for connecting to the enterprise database.

Enter a name for the connection file, then choose the database type and version (i.e., Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008, or Oracle 10 or 11).

Using an *.rserp File to Connect to an Enterprise Repository

If you have used the connection file recently, choose File > Recent and then select the file in the Recent Repositories list.

Otherwise, choose File > Open Repository and then browse for the *.rserp file.

Tip: If you usually work with the same repository, you can configure the Synthesis applications to attempt to connect with it automatically each time you start the application. Choose File > New and then select the Always start by connecting with the last repository check box.

If you are unable to connect to an enterprise repository, you may be encountering any of the following issues:
