Enable One Draft Mode

The One Draft Mode enforces only one draft per published diagram. Thus, preventing multiple drafts of the same diagram being edited at the same time.

To enable the One Draft Mode in Evolve Designer:

  1. Start Evolve Designer.

  2. On the Evolve Designer Models launcher dialog box, click the Configure Evolve Server button.

If the diagram already has a draft created, and someone modifies the published diagram via the desktop modeler, then beware that any changes made in the published diagram won't be synchronized in the draft diagrams. To see the changes, delete the unwanted drafts and create a new one.

Padlock Objects in Web Modeler

The Padlock Objects feature enables you to lock and unlock objects in Web Modeler.

To lock the objects on the diagram surface, follow these steps:

  1. Select the required object you want to lock. For example, Syscom.

    The Lock selected nodes option is enabled.

  2. Click .

    A Syscom object is now locked.

Load Balancing with erwin Web Modeler

Previously if you wanted to use Web Modeler you were restricted to a single server installation. We have now extended the configuration to allow for multi-server (or load balanced) environments.

Configuring MongoDB Replication

This topic explains the process to configure MongoDB Replication. This process is only required if you are serving Evolve Web Platform from more than one web server, in a load balanced array.

Configure MongoDB Replication

  1. Press the Windows key and then click Start.

  2. Search for Services.

The Services window appears.

  1. Select MongoDB Server.

  1. Click Stop.

MongoDB Server service stopped.

  1. Go to MongoDB bin folder available at C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin.

  2. Open `mongod.cfg` file in text editor (For example, Notepad).

  3. Update replication property as follows:

    replication:

        replSetName: "rs0"

  4. Bind your system IP address in the following format:

    net:

        port: 27017

        bindIp: <enter system ipv4>, 127.0.0.1

  5. Save the`mongod.cfg` file.

  6. Start MongoDB Service.

  7. Go to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin and open the command Prompt.

  8. Run the mongo.exe command.

  9. Run the following command:

rs.initiate({_id : "rs0",members: [{ _id: 0, host: "<enter system ipv4>:27017"}]})

Icon

Description automatically generated

The default MongoDB port number is 27017. If required, you can update it to a different port number.

  1. Run the rs.status() command to check whether replication is configured successfully.

Successful MongoDB replication is indicated by a response where the members array has the name and IP properties according to the values configured in step 13.
