You can import profiles, profile projects, and Eclipse
Modeling Framework (EMF) Ecore models that contain the vocabulary
that your organization requires for its projects. These artifacts
are imported as ontologies, which you can associate with domains.
Before you begin
You must have JazzAdmins privileges in
Design
Management.
You must have access to the EMF Ecore file or archive file that contain
the profiles or profile projects to import. These files must be located
locally on your computer.
About this task
An ontology defines the vocabulary, such as the classes
and properties, that a domain uses. Classes describe the concepts
of a domain, and properties define the relationships between the concepts.
Ontologies can be used by multiple domains.
Procedure
- Open the Domains project area: Click the Home icon
and under Design Management, click Domains.
- On the main toolbar, click Import;
then select the option that corresponds with the type of file to import.
- On the Profiles to import header,
click Add.
- Browse to the location of the file to import.
- Optional: Specify whether to overwrite existing
ontology information.
- Specify any path map variables that you use in your workspace.
The server has no file system, so the value of a path map must be
relative to the workspace path.
- In the upper right of the page, click Import.
What to do next
You can view the imported ontology in the Explorer view of
the Domains project area. You can now add the imported ontology to
one or more domains.
