You can identify missing subunits
and unresolved path map references using the
Resolve Subunits
and Path map symbols page of the
Rational Rose
Model Import wizard. If your model contains unresolved
path map references, you can provide a new value to resolve the reference.
You can also choose to skip over any missing subunits or broken path
maps references to import the model in the current state.
Before you begin
Before you can identify missing
subunits or path map reference problems, you must use the
Import
a Rose Model page to select a model to import and specify
a project to contain your model and related project artifacts. If
your model does not contain broken references to subunits, both tables
will appear empty; click
Next to continue with
the import process.
About this task
Using the Subunits not found and Specify
the value for the unresolved Path map symbols tables,
determine if a broken subunit reference is caused by a missing subunit
from your Rose model or a path map symbol entry that is not pointing
to the correct location:
- If the Specify the value for the unresolved Path map
symbols table is empty and the Subunits not
found table displays missing subunits, your broken references
to a subunit exist because your Rose model does not have direct access
to the corresponding subunit. To resolve the reference, you must open
your model in Rose and restore the connection to the subunit. You
can only use the Rational Rose Model Import wizard
to resolve references to missing subunits when the broken references
are caused by invalid path map entries.
- If the Subunits not found table displays
the name and location of one or more missing subunits, and the Specify
the value for the unresolved Path map symbols table contains
the name of a path map, you likely have a broken path map reference
because the path map entry is not pointing to the directory that contains
the subunit. Using the Resolve Subunits and Path map symbols
page, you can provide a new path map value that points
to the correct directory to resolve the broken path map reference.
Note: You can select the Ignore unresolved subunits check
box to ignore all broken references to subunits, regardless of the
cause. This check box provides a way to move to the next step in the
wizard even though the model you are importing contains broken references
to subunits. Ignoring unresolved subunits will cause your model to
only partially import; the subunit content is not added into the imported
model.
