To
create a customized map file to import IBM® Rational® System Architect elements
into a Rational Rhapsody® project,
edit the exiting maps or create one within the map file.
Before you begin
The external
map file ties
Rational System Architect elements
to
IBM Rational Rhapsody elements
and allows the users to analyze and adjust the imported data.
Rational Rhapsody supplies
three sample map files to use or modify:
- Default mapping
sample imports diagrams as Rational Rhapsody object
model diagrams.
- SA DODAF (Non ABM) to Rhapsody DODAF imports
DODAF elements
to comparable elements in Rational Rhapsody DODAF
and imports any unmapped diagrams as object model diagrams.
- SA
SV1 DODAF (Non ADM) to Rhapsody SysML illustrates the
mapping used to import an SV1 diagram into a Rational Rhapsody SysML
project.
For more information about the contents of the sample
map files,
see
Rational System Architect type mappings to Rational Rhapsody.
About this task
To create your customized import map:
Procedure
- Locate the "SA Importer" map file
(RhpSAMap.xml)
in the Rational Rhapsody folder
in the AddOn\ProductIntegrator directory.
- Open
the file in any XML editor.
- For
each element type you want to import,
add an element or relation keyword
with attributes, as described in the Structure of the import map.
- Save the changes in the XML file using the same file name.
- Follow the instructions in Importing Rational System Architect encyclopedia contents to
open the import wizard, and in the third window, select the map you
edited.
