You may wish at some point to create a completely new, empty
repository
, containing no projects, metamodels or models.
For instance, you may want to use none of the methods supplied with MetaEdit+,
but rather only your own method, that you will define with the MetaEdit+ Method
Workbench. (If you simply want to return to abandon any changes you have made in
the original MetaEdit+ repository, simply suspend any server running on it and
delete the repository directory and all its files. You can then reinstall the
original MetaEdit+ repository).
The start of the procedure for creating a new repository
differs slightly in the single and multi-user versions: in the multi-user
version the creation is started in the server, whereas in the single user
version (where there is of course no server), it is started in the client. Here
we describe the operations in the server: after this you should continue with
creation as described under client administration in Section
3.1.1.
In the Server Launcher, press
Server Start Up, and
choose
New database from the pop-up menu that opens. You will be prompted
for the new repository’s name and root directory. The name of the
repository is that which will be shown to the user: there are no restrictions on
the format of the name. The path should in general be a relative
path
, and you should make sure that the path you enter is
legal in all client platforms
that will access the
repository. Next you will be asked for a socket
number,
and should accept the default given (initially
6666)
unless you know this is already in use. The server is now started on the new
repository, and you can proceed as described in Section
3.1.1.
