Configuring Rational XDE models for the integration

To integrate a new Rational XDE model with a Rational RequisitePro project, you must apply the RequisitePro profile to the XDE model. The RequisitePro profile is automatically applied to a model created with the Use Case model template. For existing models, you must apply this profile manually.

To create a new model with the RequisitePro profile applied in the Rational XDE Professional: .NET Platform Edition

1. Click File > New > File.

The New File dialog box opens.

2. Expand Rational XDE and click Use Case.

3. Click the Use-Case Model template in the template pane.

4. Click Open.

The new model is created and the integration is enabled.

To create a new model with the RequisitePro profile applied in the Rational XDE Professional: Java Platform Edition or Modeler Edition

1. Click File > New > Model.

The New XDE Model dialog box opens.

2. Expand Rational XDE and click Use Case.

3. Click the Use-Case Model template in the template pane.

4. Click Finish.

The new model is created and the integration is enabled.

To apply the profile to an existing model

1. Open the XDE model.
2. Click the model’s root package in the Model Explorer.
3. The Properties Window displays the model properties.
4. Open the UML property so that the Applied Profiles field is displayed.
5. Click the browse button and select RequisitePro from the list.
6. Save the model.

You can begin using the Rational RequisitePro-XDE Integration in your new XDE model.
