System Administrator Overview

System administrators handle the installation, configuration and authentication on the CDO server that is used for sharing Capella projects. For these activities, Team for Capella provides the following functionalities in Eclipse or as jobs which can be installed in a Jenkins used as a scheduler:

  • Jenkins Installation

    • For an easy management of the CDO server (Start, stop, list users…​) and the shared projects (Backup, diagnostics…​), Team for Capella provides many applications ready to deploy in Jenkins.

  • Storage on a shared server

    • Team for Capella runs on a server shared across all your authorized team members. It can be administered to properly start and stop the system, and see who is currently connected. Models can be stored on one or several database(s) deployed on one or several machine(s).

  • Server Administration

    • Once a server has been configured, there are administration features to manage it while running, such as durable lock management and user management with dedicated Eclipse view. Furthermore, there are also jobs for diagnostic and repair available on the Jenkins Interface.

  • Secured access

    • Definition of authorized users and roles stored in a model on the server

    • Data stored in the repositories can be protected by using LDAP to authenticate users, and by using SLL to encrypt the exchanges between the clients and the database(s). It is also possible to define access rights depending on user profiles.

  • Flexible licensing mode

    • Our floating licensing mode allows you to deploy Team for Capella in a flexible way, depending on your context and your infrastructure: licenses are floating, allowing them to be shared among several users over time, when required due to low network’s bandwidth, remote desktop mechanism is supported, avoiding you to deploy Team for Capella client on user’s machines, large organizations working with Capella on several projects can deploy Team for Capella server on several machines simultaneously: the licensing mode only controls the number of current connected users, not the number of running servers.
