Checking that System Architect XT can access encyclopedias on a server
System Architect XT must be able to access the Microsoft SQL Server through the Impersonation Account. Use these steps to confirm that System Architect XT can access those servers to publish the encyclopedias within them for System Architect XT clients.
1 Go to the URL for the System Architect XT website (for example, http://SAXT/) as determined by your System or System Architect XT Administrator. On the initial Login page, enter values in the numbered fields. Each step determines the options that are available in the subsequent step.
2 Select the Server Type.
3 In the Server Name field, type the server name and press Enter. Each server that you connect to successfully will be added to the list of servers (in a cookie), and you can click on the drop-down to select them on subsequent logins
4 Select an encyclopedia from the Encyclopedia Name field. System Architect XT checks whether the encyclopedia you select contains a workspace.
▪If it contains a workspace, you are guided to the next step, which is to select a workspace from the Workspace Name field. Note that “baselined” workspaces are read-only, and you can only login to them in Reader mode.
▪If the encyclopedia does not contain a Workspace, the Workspace Name field is disabled and you are guided to select the login mode.
5 Select one of these login modes:
Reader: Grants you read-only access to repository information, and lets you create queries and run reports.
Updater: Grants you read and update access to repository information. You can add definitions, edit existing definitions, and build report queries. This option is only enabled if you have permission to update the encyclopedia, as determined by an Administrator using System ArchitectCatalog Manager.
6 Optionally, select Remember Selection for System Architect XT to remember the options you selected the next time you login.
7 Click Login.
This takes you to the Home page for System Architect XT.
