Runtime repository

The information below is preliminary documentation and subject to change. Please contact our Helpdesk for more information on how to use this feature.

It is possible to configure an ITP/MDK Repository Server to act as a runtime repository. This kind of repository expects its database to be replicated from another ITP/MDK Repository instance, commonly called the 'editorial repository'. A runtime repository will not allow clients to connect, so it is essentially read-only. It is intended to be used as the system from which ITP/Server retrieves the dynamic objects while running models in the production domain.

An ITP/MDK Repository installation is turned into a runtime repository by adding the following to the itprep.ini file of the ITP/MDK Repository Server:

[Runtime]

ReplicatedInstance= Y

You need to restart the ITP/MDK Repository Server after saving the itprep.ini file.

The following behavior is affected by this setting:

• It is not possible to connect with ITP/MDK Repository clients to the server of a runtime repository.
• Older versions of the GetModel.exe will not function. Use the version shipped with this version of the ITP/MDK Repository instead.
• The ITP/MDK Repository Server does not need a license.
• Upgrading this installation will only update the database schema, if necessary. Conversions are not carried out.
