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.
Before you begin
Before you configure the import engine, you must ensure
that the Jazz™ Team Server where
you want to import the models is started. To start the server, click . In the Tomcat command
window, wait for this message: INFO: Server startup in # ms.
This step might take a while to complete the first time that you start
the server; however, on subsequent instances, the server starts faster.
Also,
if you plan to import Simulink models, MathWorks Simulink must be
installed before you configure the import engine.
Procedure
- Click . The Rational Rhapsody Import
Engine configuration utility opens.
- In the Server URL field, enter the
fully qualified host name of the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager server
URL, such as https://[fully qualified hostname]:9443/dm;
the front server URL must point to the computer that hosts imported
model content.
- Enter the appropriate credentials for the Jazz User Account and Jazz User Password. You should create an administrator
or functional user that is responsible for placing model content onto
the server.
- Click Connect. When you are successfully
connected to the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager,
a list of available definitions is displayed.
- Select a definition from the Active Definitions list.
- Under Local URL, specify a directory
for each model to be imported onto the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager.
- In the model directory, browse to the Rational Rhapsody project .rpy file
or, if you import Simulink models, the .mdl file.
- If you plan to import Simulink models (and MathWorks Simulink
is already installed), click Set Simulink Path to
open the Set Path window so that you can set
the path for Simulink. This connection has to be done only once on
each computer. Wait for the Set Path window to
open.
- In the Set Path window for Simulink,
click Add Folder and browse to where the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager Import Engine was
installed and select the mscripts folder (for
example, C:\Program Files\IBM\RhapsodyDMImportEngine\mscripts),
and then click OK.
- In the Set Path window, click Save.
- In the Rational Rhapsody Import Engine window,
click Save and Exit.
Results
After you configure the import engine, it starts automatically.
The import engine is a background process that runs until you stop
it. To start the import engine, click . The Start
menu also contains an option to stop the import engine.
