Downloading Rational Requirements Composer artifacts

This content applies to version 7.5.1 or later. You can use UML transformations in Rational® modeling products to develop UML models for software analysis and systems that incorporate business project requirements and related artifacts, which include activity sketches, use cases, and glossaries that a customer or analyst supplies in IBM® Rational Requirements Composer.

Before you begin

Ensure that valid Rational Requirements Composer artifacts are downloaded to your computer first. Valid artifacts such as activity sketches, use cases, glossaries, or other business project requirements must exist and be available in Rational Requirements Composer so that you can download them. The transformation also imports the artifacts.

Note: To import archives from Rational Requirements Composer version 2.0 or later, you must use a Rational modeling product that is version 7.5.5 Interim Fix 002 or later.
