Importing Rational Rose models

You can use the IBM® Rational Rose® Importer utility to import models created in Rational Rose into IBM Rational® Rhapsody®. Components of the Rational Rose Logical View, such as packages, classes, and relations between classes, are mapped to similar entities in Rational Rhapsody. Class and state diagrams from Rational Rose are imported as object model diagrams and statecharts. In addition, you can import activity, component, sequence, and use case diagrams, along with templates and template instantiations.
Note: The Rational Rose Importer imports the Rational Rose Logical View, Use Case View, and Component View. It does not import the Deployment View.

In addition, Rational Rose must be on the Rational Rhapsody host machine for import to work. It is not sufficient to simply import a model created in Rational Rose without Rational Rose actually being on the Rational Rhapsody machine.
For the version of Rational Rose that integrates with Rational Rhapsody, see Release notes for Rational Rhapsody and follow the link to details about the release of Rational Rhapsody.

As well, you can (separately) import the code for your imported Rational Rose model and then merge the operation and function bodies from that code into the corresponding imported Rational Rose model. This involves importing the model from Rational Rose (referred to as the imported Rational Rose model), importing the code (using the Rational Rhapsody Reverse Engineering tool), and then merging the imported code with the imported Rational Rose model.
