About this task

To create an IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® for MODAF project:

Procedure

  1. Launch Rational Rhapsody and choose File > New to open the New Project window.
  2. On the New Project window:
    • Enter a project name.
    • Specify a folder location.
    • As the project type, select MODAF from the Project Type list. You might also want to select one of the Project Settings.
      Note: The MODAF project type (or profile) is provided by the Rational Rhapsody for MODAF Add On in order to help you customize and extend the product to support a Domain Specific Language (DSL), which lets you work with MODAF terms, diagrams, and artifacts rather than UML terms, diagrams, and artifacts.
  3. Click OK.
  4. If the folder you specified does not exist, click Yes to create it. Rational Rhapsodycreates the project and opens with the initial view.
  5. Add the primary Architecture Structure. Highlight the top‑level project name (MODAF_Project in our example) and choose File > Add to Model to open the Add to Model window.
  6. Browse to the Rational Rhapsody installation folder and locate MODAF Pack.
  7. Accept the defaults and double‑click IBM Rational Rhapsody MODAF Add-on and then locate MODAF_Setup_Pkg.
  8. Accept the defaults and double‑click MODAF_Setup_Pkg and then change the files of type to Package (*.sbs).
  9. Accept the defaults and double‑click Architecture.sbs to bring in the main viewpoints for your MODAF project. You now have the basic project structure.
