Using your customized profiles

Since a profile is a package, it can be used in other projects to save time and support corporate standards easily.

About this task

To use your customized profiles:

Procedure

  1. Make a corresponding text file for your custom profile and give it the same name but with the .txt extension. Add a description for the profile. The content of the text files displays on the description area of the New Project window.
    For example, if your customized profile is MyProfile.sbs, create a MyProfile.txt file.
  2. Copy the .sbs file for the profile and the corresponding .txt file to <Rational Rhapsody installation path>\Share\Profiles\<customized profiles foldername>. For example, you would place a copy of the MyProfile.sbs and MyProfile.txt files in, for example, C:\Rhapsody\Share\Profiles\CustomProfiles.

    If you have packages under your profile, choose to not make each package its own separate unit so that you can keep the entire profile in a single .sbs file (clear the Store in separate file for those packages).
  3. When you want to use a custom profile with a new project, you can select the profile from the Project Type drop‑down list of the New Project window.

Results

You can also share your custom profiles through the following methods:

Note: You can set your customized profile to be automatically added to a new project either as a copy or a reference using the AutoCopied or AutoReferences properties.
