Multi User Development Environment (MUDE)

The Multiuser Development feature enables over one hundred development users to work in parallel on a shared, enterprise repository. 

Setup of MUDE

We have 3 steps
1. Creating projects.
2. Copy RPD into shared path & rename RPD.
3. Define multi user directions.

Step 1: Creating Projects

1. A piece of RPD is called as project.
2. RPD will be divided into projects based on Business Model or subject area.
3. On one project two or more members can work.
Process:
Open RPD in offline mode --> Go to manage menu -->  Click on projects -->  Click on
action menu --> Click on new project -->  name it as sales -->  Expand Business Models
-->  expand subject area supplier sales -->  select sales fact --> Click on add -->  expand
presentation -->  select supplier sales -->  Click on add -->  Click on ok

Step 2: Creating a shared folder and moving RPD into shared folder

1. Create a shared folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents with
the name of SHARED_RPD
2. Copy above RPD from repositories folder to C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\ SHARED_RPD
3. Rename RPD in shared_rpd folder as shared.rpd

Step 3: Define Multi user directory

Go to administrator tool -->  tools menu -->  Click on options -->  Under "Multiuser development directory" --> Click on browse and
point it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\ SHARED_RPD -->  provide
some name as RRITEC(we can provide any name ) -->  Click on ok
