Central Repository

IBM® Rational® System Architect® maintains its information in a central repository, a single source of information for all users. The technology is non-proprietary, thus future-proofing the information stored in Rational System Architect's repository, as well as allowing it to evolve with both technology and the company's business.

Features of the repository include:

  • Scalability and extensibility
  • Role-based access, based on access rights
  • Customizability to support an organization's individual needs

Rational System Architect's Repository Management

Rational System Architect's repository contains enterprise check-in and check-out features and merge/extract capabilities to allow projects and individuals to work on the portions of the repository significant to their roles and to enable offline working.

The comparison tool for Rational System Architect encyclopedias enables you to compare the contents of two Rational System Architect repositories, providing you with detailed data that contrasts the model components (diagrams, symbols, and definition entries, including all property values) in the two encyclopedias you are merging.

You may explore and analyze comparative model information on a diagram-by-diagram, symbol-by-symbol, and definition-by-definition basis using a tree-like presentation.
