Troubleshooting Rational Rhapsody ReporterPLUSand Rational Rhapsody for MODAF

About this task

If the contents of a package do not appear in the document created by IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® ReporterPLUS, it is possible that you might have created an architecture without adding the architecture.sbs package.

The MODAF profile has two tags that have been added to all the viewpoints, ContainsViews and RootView. By default. they are set to Cleared (meaning False, their check boxes are not selected). However, within the imported architecture.sbs package, these tags have been preset to Checked (meaning True, their check boxes are selected).

ContainsViews is set to Checked when you have established a hierarchy of views within a particular viewpoint that specifically contains views.The default is Cleared because the main reason why subviews are used is to provide containers for sets of model elements so that a table or matrix view can be scoped correctly.

RootView is for this particular set of views, it can only be set to Checked for the viewpoints that sit directly above the Architecture layer.

To override the default settings for a particular viewpoint:

Procedure

  1. Right-click the viewpoint and select Features.
  2. Select the Tags tab on the Features window.
  3. Select the ContainsView check box (so that it is selected).
  4. Select the RootView check box if the viewpoint is likely to contain views that you want displayed in the documentation. If a viewpoint just contains elements and if those elements are used by other views external to the owning viewpoint, they appear in the document generated by Rational Rhapsody ReporterPLUS in the correct places.
