To migrate Rational RequisitePro associations from a Rational Rose model to a Rational XDE model, you must convert the Rose .mdl file to an XDE .mdx file, and then migrate the associations when prompted. You cannot have the associated RequisitePro project(s) open using the Exclusive option during this procedure. Do not make any changes to the model until you have completed the procedure.
Start XDE.
Click File > Open XDE Model and click Browse.
Change the Files of Type list to "Rational Rose Model (*.mdl)." Browse to the directory containing the Rose model you want to convert.
Select the Rose model file and click Open. The model opens in XDE.
Enter a name for the new XDE project that will be associated with the model.
Click File > Save [yourmodelname] As... and save the model as a Model (*.mdx) file. XDE creates a new XDE model from the Rose model at this time. One of two dialog boxes opens, depending on whether all the RequisitePro projects referred to in the Rose model could be found:
Migrate RequisitePro associations dialog box
Select one of the following options:
|
Yes |
Convert the Rose model to XDE and migrate the RequisitePro associations. This changes the associations in RequisitePro from the Rose model to the XDE model. If you decide to work in the Rose model in the future, you must reestablish each association individually. |
|
No |
Do not migrate any of the RequisitePro associations. If you decide later to associate XDE use cases with RequisitePro, you must establish each association individually.The RequisitePro project remains associated to the Rose model. |
Some RequisitePro projects could not be found dialog box
Select one of the following options:
|
Yes |
Migrate the available RequisitePro associations. This removes the associations in RequisitePro to the Rose model and adds them to the XDE model. If you decide to work in the Rose model in the future, you must reestablish each association individually. You can reestablish the missing associations in XDE on an individual basis.
|
|
No |
Do not migrate any of the RequisitePro associations. You can correct the associations in Rose and convert the Rose model to XDE at a later time. |
Caution This integration does not support integrating code models with RequisitePro. We recommend using separate analysis and design models for any code base. To migrate Rational RequisitePro associations from a Rose Java model to a Rational 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.
