Create a Link to the Repository

Once we have the EA model stored in the database, it is necessary to create a shortcut that will use the EaInfoport system.

• We connect via a database connection (this is not a strict rule; in some cases a cloud connection also works).
• In the Enterprise Architect application, start the Save as shortcut command from the main menu (below the EA icon).
• Select the folder where you want to create the shortcut (e.g. C:\EAInfoport\Dataprojekt\ea.EAP) and confirm.
• As soon as you connect a new repository in the EaInfoport administration, you will work with this file.
• To verify the functionality of the link, first turn off the Enterprise Architect program. Then find the file with the link C:\EAInfoport\Dataprojekt\ea.EAP  on the disk and “run” it (double click).
• If Enterprise Architect also opened with our project, everything is set and saved correctly.
