Share models and designs to collaborate with stakeholders

If you have a Rational® modeling product installed, you can import your models and designs onto the Design Management Server so that stakeholders who do not have the product installed can view and provide feedback on the models and designs in a web interface. You can also create new models to share in the Design Explorer view or upload directly to the Design Management Server from the Project Explorer view.

In Design Management Server version 4.0, you can select how a project is managed. This choice affects how models are added to the Design Management Server.

The tutorial shows how to complete these tasks:
  1. Start and then configure the Rational Software Architect Design Manager Import Engine.
  2. Create an import definition that specifies the model content to import onto the server. This tutorial focuses on how to create a project-based import definition; you can also create an import definition that is based on an entire Eclipse workspace.
  3. Request an import operation to place model content onto the server.
  4. View the status of the model import process.
  5. Upload directly to the server
  6. Create a new model and share with the server
  7. Navigate and view the imported model content on the server.
