Importing Rational Rhapsody models
to the Design Management Server
Use the following steps to import Rational® Rhapsody® to
the Design Management Server.
Importing models to the server
Before you can view IBM® Rational Rhapsody models
and diagrams on the Web, you must import model data to the model server
by using the IBM Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine.
Importing Rational Rhapsody models manually
You can import IBM Rational Rhapsody models
manually. A manual import is a quick method of placing model content
onto the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager by
creating a compressed file with the model content. You can perform
a manual import in situations when you want to make a model available
immediately for viewing. The compressed file must contain the entire
model, so it must be compressed at the top level of your project model
in Rational Rhapsody.
Creating an import definition
An import definition specifies the name of the model you
want to import onto IBM Rational Rhapsody Design Manager.
An import definition also specifies scheduling criteria used by Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine to
publish models to the server. An import definition must be available
on Rational Rhapsody Design Manager when
you configure Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine.
Configuring the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine
Before you start the IBM Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine,
you must set it up correctly. Typically, you configure the import
engine once for each computer. For example, if your team has five
separate computers that contain model content for the Design Management Server,
your team must configure the import engine on each of the individual
computers.
