Before you begin this tutorial, make sure that you have completed the following tasks:
Attach the tutorial encyclopedias to your server
If you used the default settings in the Startup Wizard to install System Architect, you should already have all the prebuilt encyclopedias installed. If they are not installed, use the SAEM tool or Microsoft Enterprise Manager to upload the encyclopedias. You will know if you do not have the encyclopedias attached if they do not appear in the Existing folder when you open an encyclopedia.
Refer to the Getting Started topic on Attaching encyclopedias for instructions on how to attach the prebuilt encyclopedias to your database.
Open the encyclopedia named Tutorial
To open prebuilt encyclopedias:
1 Start System Architect.
2 Select File > Open Encyclopedia.
3 Select the Existing folder.
4 In the Connection field, select an available Connection name from the drop-down list. This provides you with a list of encyclopedias (databases) that are connected to your server.
5 Highlight the name of the encyclopedia that you want to open in the Encyclopedias on connection field.
6 Click OK.
7 Once your encyclopedia is open, look in the title bar of System Architect and see if your encyclopedia name appears. For example, (Tutorial) appears below.
