Connecting to Mart

You can save a reverse engineered model at a predefined location on an erwin Mart. For more information, refer to the Setting Reverse Engineering Options topic. However, to save a model to a mart, you need to be connected to it.

Note: Ensure that you have configured and initialized erwin Mart Server.

To connect to a mart, do the following:

  1. On the ribbon, in the Mart group, click Connect.

    The Connect to Mart dialog opens.

  2. Work with following fields:
    Server Name

    Defines the name of the web server where you have installed the Mart.

    Port

    Specifies the port number to access the web server.

    Default: 18170

    Use IIS

    Specifies that you want to use the IIS web server to connect to Mart. This check box is enabled only if you have configured IIS. For more information about configuring IIS, see the Implementation Guide (Workgroup Edition).

    IIS Port

    Specify the IIS port number that you want to use. This field is enabled only if you select the Use IIS check box. The default is 80.

    Use SSL

    Specifies that you want to connect to the Mart through a secured connection. SSL lets you access the Mart through a secured connection. This check box is enabled only if you have configured SSL on your web server. For more information about configuring SSL, see the Implementation Guide (Workgroup Edition).

    Application Name

    Defines the application name of the Mart that you want to connect to.

    Default: MartServer

    Authentication

    Specifies the type of authentication you want to use. You can use a user name that is authenticated either by the Mart Server application.
    Note: Windows Authentication does not work for erwin Mart connection and reverse engineering from database.

    User Name

    Defines the name of the user that has access to the Mart. If you are using a Windows-authenticated user name, enter it in the <domain name>/<user name> format.

    Note: A local Windows user who does not belong to a domain or who is not part of an Active Directory cannot log in to the Mart as a Windows user.

    Password

    Defines the password of the user.

    Note: A password should fulfill the following criteria:

    • Contains at least 1 lowercase character

    • Contains at least 1 uppercase character

    • Contains at least 1 number

    • Is minimum 6 characters in length

    • Is maximum 130 characters in length

    Apart from the above criteria, special characters are optional.

  3. Click Connect.

    If you have selected Use SSL and the security certificate is installed, you are connected to the Mart.

    Note: After you connect to the Mart, if you click Connect to Model Manager again, a dialog opens seeking your permission to disconnect from the Mart.

    If your security certificate is not installed, a message, The certificate authority is invalid or incorrect, appears. You must install the security certificate to proceed.

    1. Click OK on the message.

      The SSL Certificate Install dialog opens.

    2. Click Install.

      The Certificate dialog opens.

    3. Click Install Certificate.

      The Certificate Import Wizard dialog opens.

    4. Click Next.
    5. Click the Place all certificates in the following store option button and click Browse.
    6. In the Select Certificate Store dialog, select Trusted Root Certification Authorities and click OK.
    7. Click Finish.

      The security certificate is installed and you are connected to the Mart.
