Chapter 4 Connecting to the Repository

Connecting automatically to the default repository

You can define a general option to connect to the default repository when you start a PowerDesigner session.

What is the default repository?

The default repository is the last repository to which you connected successfully. Repository connection parameters are saved in the Registry.

By default, when you start PowerDesigner, the repository is not connected.

However, you can set an auto-connect option to automatically connect to the repository when you start a PowerDesigner session.

For more information about general options, see the Defining Global Options section, in the Using the PowerDesigner Interface Chapter, in the General Features Guide .

Steps To automatically connect to the default repository:

  1. Select Tools→General Options to display the General Options dialog box to the General page.
  2. Select the Repository node from the Category tree view to display the Repository page.
  3. Select the Auto-connect check box in the Connection group box.
  4. Click OK.
