Creating customized profiles

A customized profile can contain terminology specific to your company, force adherence to special requirements or industry standards, and can be reused in other models to simplify and standardize development efforts.

Procedure

  1. Create a project that you want to use as the basis for your customized profile. If you select a Rational® Rhapsody® profile for this project, the characteristics of that profile are going to be used as the default values.
  2. Right‑click the top‑level project name (for example, Dishwasher) and select Add New > Profile, and then enter a name for your profile. Notice that IBM® Rational Rhapsody creates a Profiles category and places your profile within it.

    Alternatively, if you have a package that you want to change to be a profile, right-click the package and select Change to > Profile.
  3. Enter any information about the profile that you want your team members to know about on the Description tab.
  4. Optional: You can do the following actions:
    1. Define global tags for your profile: Open the Features window for the profile (for example, double‑click the profile name) and define tags on the Tags tab.
    2. Add a stereotype to your profile: On the General tab of the Features window for your profile, select <<New>> from the Stereotype box. A Features window opens for the stereotype on which you can name the stereotype. Notice that by default Rational Rhapsody sets that this stereotype is applicable to a profile. Notice also that you can make it a New Term stereotype.
      After you close the Features window for the stereotype and return to the Features window for the profile, notice that the stereotype you created is showing in the Stereotype box of the General tab for the profile.
