Managing project include such things as using the browser
in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody®,
opening multiple Rational Rhapsody projects,
and making backups of your projects.
Managing projects with the browser
The IBM Rational Rhapsody browser
displays a list of project elements organized into folders. You can
choose to have all elements displayed in a single folder, regardless
of their position in the model, or have them displayed in subfolders
based on the model hierarchy.
Opening multiple Rational Rhapsody projects
You can have more than one project open at a time in the
product. When you have more than one project open, you can use the
browser in the product to copy and move elements from one project
to another.
Searching in the model
Engineers and developers
can use theIBM Rational Rhapsody Search
and Replace facility for simple search operations. To perform quick
searches with commonly used filters such as wildcards, case, and exact
string, select Edit > Search to open the Search window.
Saving packages in separate directories
To assist with configuration management and improve project
organization, you might want to store packages in separate subdirectories
within a parent folder.
Creating backup projects
To make the product create backups of your model
every time you save your project, set the General::Model::BackUps property
to the number of backup projects you want the product to create.
Using environment variables with reference units
If you have a reference unit in your model (added using Add
to Model As Reference), you can edit its location using
the Directory field of the Unit Information window,
and use an environment variable as part of that location.
Preventing unresolved references
When you delete an element that has references in read‑only
files, those references cannot be updated accordingly on the disk
because the files are read-only files. These references become unresolved
when the model is reloaded. In order to resolve this situation, read‑only
files that contain references to elements that you are deleting is
made writable before you perform the delete operation.
Using Undo and Redo
You can undo the last 20 operations, and to redo the operation
that was most recently undone.
Customizing the Add New menu
You can completely customize the choices that appear in
the Add New menu to focus on a particular process
or need.
Using property changes to the Add New menu
You can automatically apply the changes you make to the
properties that control the Add New menu for
use in other projects by setting your applicable property changes
in a New Term stereotype that is associated with a particular profile
that is set to be applicable to a project, and then applying the profile
to your other projects.
