Log In to erwin Mart Administrator and Configure Settings

After the Mart is initialized, the user who initialized must log in first.

Note: If you enter an incorrect password five consecutive times, your account will be locked for five minutes (300 seconds) by default. You can change the time for which the account stays locked as follows:

  1. From Windows Start menu, click All Programs, erwin, Mart Server 2020 R1(32-bit or 64-bit), Configure MartServer.

    The erwin Mart Configuration dialog appears.

  2. On the Mart Administrator tab, edit the value of the Account Lockout Duration (Seconds) field to an appropriate value. At the most, you can set it to 30 days (2592000 seconds).

When you log in to Mart for the first time, configure it per the requirements of your organization. You can configure the following settings:

  • Default profile for the model creator
  • Use default password
  • Email notification

Follow these steps:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs, erwin, erwin Mart Server 2020 R1(32-bit or 64-bit), erwin Mart Administrator 2020 R1(32-bit or 64-bit).

    The erwin Mart Administrator home page appears. If you have implemented SSL, HTTPS appears in the address bar.

  2. Use the credentials with which you initialized the Mart and log in.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Complete the following fields:
    Default profile for model creator

    Specifies the profile that is assigned to a user on a model. This profile is assigned whenever a user creates a model and saves it to Mart for the first time. The user inherits the permissions of the default profile selected here on the model that is saved. For example, suppose that User1 is assigned with Modeler profile and the System Administrator selects Architect as the default profile for model creator. If User1 creates Model1 and saves it to Mart, for Model1, User1 inherits the permissions of Architect. Now, suppose that the System Administrator selects Viewer as the default profile for model creator, and suppose that User1 creates Model2 and saves it to Mart. For Model2, User1 inherits the permissions of Viewer.

    Use Default Password

    Specifies the default password that you want to use for new users and for resetting passwords, in the absence of an SMTP server for emails.

    Note: Select this option only if you do not have an SMTP server that is configured for emails.

    SMTP host name

    Specifies the name of the SMTP host. Enter the name in the mail.domain.com format. Notification emails are sent from this server.

    Port number

    Specifies the port number of the SMTP server. The default port number is 25. If your company is using an alternate port number for the mail server, specify that port number.

    Authenticate

    Specifies whether transactions with the SMTP server are authenticated. Select the check box to authenticate.

    User name

    Specifies the user name to authenticate the SMTP server. Select the Authenticate check box to enable authentication.

    Password

    Specifies the password to authenticate the SMTP server. Select the Authenticate check box to enable authentication.

    Administrator email

    Specifies the email ID of the Mart administrator. Notifications to Mart users are sent from this ID.

    No-reply email from

    Specifies the email ID from which administrative emails such as the password reset email are sent.

    Use TLS Connection

    Specifies whether transactions with the SMTP server use a Transport layer Security (TLS). If you intend to use a TLS connection, ensure that the User name and Administrator email correspond to each other.

    Note: Select this option only if you want to use a TLS connection.

  5. Click Save.

    Mart options are configured.

You have installed and configured erwin DM Mart.

Use a Pluggable Database

This information applies to Oracle 12c.

You can use the pluggable database concept of Oracle 12c and create multiple Marts of the same Mart release in a single Oracle instance. For example, you can create two pluggable databases erwin_test and erwin_production in an Oracle global database erwin. You can configure these databases with the Mart Server one after the other and connect to one of them at a time.

Follow these steps to use multiple pluggable databases:

  1. Create multiple pluggable databases, for example, erwin_test and erwin_production.
  2. Install erwin Mart Server for the first pluggable database, for example, erwin_test.
  3. Initialize the Mart for the first pluggable database, erwin_test. For more information on how to initialize the Mart, see the Initialize an Oracle Mart topic.
  4. Log in to the Mart and create the models that you want to store in the test Mart.
  5. To use the second pluggable database, follow these steps:
    1. Stop the Mart server or the Mart server service.
    2. Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3 for the second pluggable database, erwin_production.
    3. Start the Mart server or the Mart server service.
    4. Log in to the Mart and create the models as required.
