Migrating a Rational Rose Java code model with existing Rational RequisitePro associations to Rational XDE

A Rational Rose model used for Integrated Use Case Management contains four default packages: "Use Case View", "Logical View", "Deployment View", and "Component View". Spaces in these package names are not tolerated by Java models in Rational XDE. When you upgrade such models to XDE, you must split them into two models, one for Java code design and the other for analysis.

To migrate Rational RequisitePro associations from a Rose Java model to an XDE model, you must first create a separate design model for your Java code, save your Rose model as an XDE model, and migrate the RequisitePro associations when prompted. You cannot have the associated RequisitePro project open with the Exclusive option selected during this procedure.

To migrate RequisitePro associations from a Rose Java model to an XDE model

  1. Start XDE.
  2. Click File > Open XDE Model and click Browse.
  3. Change the Files of Type list to "Rational Rose Model (*.mdl)." Browse to the directory containing the Rose model you want to convert.
  4. Select the Rose model file and click Open.
  5. Enter a name for the new XDE project that will be associated with the model.

    6. The model opens in the Model Explorer.

  6. Right-click the model root package in the Model Explorer and click More Java Actions > Create Code Model. Follow the instructions in the Create Java Code Model (From Converted Rose Model) Wizard.

The new converted Java model appears in the Model Explorer beneath the original model. This model contains most of the information in the original model, including obsolete links to use-case documents from the original model, but it does not include RequisitePro associations. We recommend that you delete these links and the view packages referenced above; they do not contain information pertinent to your design model.

  1. Select the original model root package (the one you plan to use for analysis) in the Model Explorer.
  2. Click File > Save [model name].mdl As . . . The Save As dialog box opens. Select a project and a file name, and make sure the "Model (.mdx)" file type is selected. Click OK.
  3. The Migrating Rational RequisitePro Associations dialog box opens. Follow the instructions.
