New Repository Features v15.1

PowerDesigner v15.1 includes new features for the Repository.

LDAP

You can now configure repository access to be controlled by an LDAP server, so that it is no longer necessary to create separate repository accounts.

Documented in:
  • Working with the Repository > Repository Administration > Controlling Repository Access with LDAP

Resource Sharing

You can now store and deploy PowerDesigner resource files (target DBMSs, OO languages, etc) via the repository. A new auto-update option means that your team will always have the latest version of your modeling target with all your extensions. You can combine your shared resource files with the new Model Category Sets to enforce their use for model creation.
