Opening catalogued encyclopedias in System Architect
The encyclopedia you attached to the catalog is now subject to access control as administered by System Architect Catalog Manager (SACM). For anyone to open a catalogued encyclopedia in System Architect, they must exist as a user in a catalog, be assigned to the encyclopedia, and be assigned one or more roles on their assigned encyclopedias.
System Architect can open both catalogued and non-catalogued encyclopedias. Catalogued encyclopedias are termed “enterprise encyclopedias”, and non-catalogued are termed “professional”. In the System Architect Open encyclopedia dialog box, you can select which type to open by clicking Existing, select the Connection name and a list will be provided with the different encyclopedias that are attached to that server.
1 Start System Architect.
2 Click the Open Encyclopedia icon, or select it from the File menu. For existing encyclopedias, click Existing, and then click Connection. For new encyclopedias, click New icon, and then specify a Connection.
The diagrams, definitions that the user can view, and the menu commands that they can execute are all determined by the catalog, as configured by the Network or System Architect Administrator with SACM.
