To create an EA connection navigate to the Admin Tab on the ET navigator. Expand Extension and double click on External Systems.

From the ‘External Systems’ screen, you can set up your Enterprise Architect connection. If connections have already been configured for other EA repositories or other external systems, they will be listed here.

Enterprise tester provides the ability to disable these features.  This feature can be useful if you would like to enable the features for an import or update and then disable them after the process is complete.  As the Update feature will update all values in EA regardless of which system holds the latest change, this feature can give you some control over when this functionality is accessible. When disabled the functions are no longer available on the project link screen:.

Once you have completed the configuration details, Enterprise  Enterprise Tester will then test the connection and if successful it will be saved.

Enterprise Architect and Enterprise Tester Field Mappings

Once the EA connection is saved the field mapping will need to be set up before you can import or synchronize between EA and Enterprise Tester.    You can configure this at the organisational level so that you don't need to complete the mapping for each project.  However, you will still need to create the project links for each project. From the EA External System screen, click on the Configure Mappings button on the bottom right corner.
