The following unit characteristics and guidelines might
help you use units effectively in your projects:
- A unit can be part of only one IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® model.
Therefore, a unit can be modified in only one Rational Rhapsody model.
- A unit can be referenced as often as necessary.
- A unit can contain many subunits.
- Each model element is identified by a Global Unique
Identifier (GUID), so each unit is unique in its model.
- Change into unit only those model elements that
must be shared.
- The name of a unit must be the same as its model
element name. This naming strategy simplifies the association between
a unit and its model element.
- Changing many model elements to units might slow Rational Rhapsody processes.
- To create diagrams automatically as units, change
the General::Model::DiagramIsSavedUnit property to
be Checked. The default is Unchecked.
