Enterprise Repositories

Connecting to an Existing Enterprise Repository

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

Creating a Connection File

To create a connection file, choose File > New > Enterprise Repository Connection File.

This command creates an enterprise 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.

Note: If you want to encrypt the connection for an Oracle implementation, you must set the encryption type to either "requested" or "required" for the Oracle database. For more information, please consult the Oracle documentation (e.g., https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14268/asoconfg.htm#i1007808).

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.

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

Note: If you get an "error occurred when reading the connection file" message, the connection file may be corrupted or is using old encryption. You can create a new connection file by choosing File > New > Enterprise Repository Connection File.
