Installing a Local Test Repository

Before deploying the repository to a database server in your production environment, you may want to create a local install on the administrators workstation for testing and experimentation.

  1. Install SQL Anywhere on your local machine (see Installing and Authenticating SQL Anywhere), and create a database (see Creating a Database to Contain the Repository).
  2. Install PowerDesigner (see Installing PowerDesigner).
  3. Install the repository to the database (see Installing the Repository to the Server).
  4. [optional] Install the PowerDesigner Portal (see Installing the PowerDesigner Portal Server).
  5. Review the following sections for information about repository features and administration:
    • Core Features Guide > Storing, Sharing and Reporting on Models > The Repository
    • Core Features Guide > Storing, Sharing and Reporting on Models > The PowerDesigner Portal
    • Core Features Guide > Modeling with PowerDesigner > The Browser > The Glossary
