Publishing data models to the Design Management server from the workbench

You can publish data models to the Design Management server from the workbench by using the Publish Model wizard.

Before you begin

Your system must meet following requirements before you can publish data models to Design Management server:
  • Design Management server must be installed.
  • After Design Management is installed, you must configure the IBM Jazz Team Server URI and the database to store data. You must also configure the database, data warehouse, users, and other applications that you installed.
  • After Design Management server is configured, you must start the server and create a project area to store the published model contents. When you create the project area, select the data management option Actively managed by Design Manager.

About this task

Using the Publish Model wizard, you can convert data models to RDF format and then place them into Design Management server. If some changes are made to the published models, you need to re-publish the models to the same project area, so that the published contents will be synchronized with the original ones.

Procedure

  1. Select a supported data model in the Data project Explorer and then click Design Management > Publish Model.
  2. If the Connecting to server dialog is displayed, specify a connection.
  3. In the Publish Model wizard, on the Select Project page of the wizard select a project as the container to store the published content. Select the Create snapshot after publishing model option to create a snapshot for the published models so that you can trace the changes of the published contents.
  4. Complete the remaining steps of the wizard.

Results

The selected model content including all IE format diagrams are published to the specified Design Management server.
