This project contains the Archimate model of the TOOP Reference Architecture (TOOPRA). We are using the Archi tool with the model repository collaboration plugin for maintaining the TOOPARA Archimate model.
Before you can start working on the module you first need to install Archi and the collaboration plugin. See above links for more information how to install both.
As a first step you need to get the latest version of the model add this Github repository to your local Archi workspace by selecting Import Remote Model to Workspace from the Collaboration menu. Enter the URL of the repository (https://github.com/TOOP4EU/toop-goopra-models) and you Github account details. After clicking OK the current version of the model should be loaded and you can start making changes.
You only need to perform this step once. Afterwards just select Refresh model from the Collaboration menu to get the latest version of the model from this repository. Please always refresh the model before you start making changes to reduce the chances of conflicts with changes made by other team members.
After you have completed your work on the model and want to make it available to the other team members you need to push the changes to the Github repository. To this you first need to commit the changes to your local version of the repository by selecting Commit Changes from the Collaboration menu. If you didn't already save the changes to the local file system, you will be asked to do so now. When committing the changes please provide a short explanation of the work you did and then click OK. Now the changes are ready for publication to the other members of the team, to make them available simply select Publish Changes from the Collaboration menu. NOTE: It can take some time to publish the changes.
If you are not happy with the changes you made you can easily roll back to a previous version by either selecting Abort Uncommitted Changes.
