A customized profile can contain terminology specific to
your company, force adherence to special requirements or industry
standards, and can be reused in other models to simplify and standardize
development efforts.
Procedure
- Create a project that you want to use as
the basis for your customized profile. If you select a Rational® Rhapsody® profile
for this project, the characteristics of that profile are going to
be used as the default values.
- Right‑click the top‑level project name (for
example, Dishwasher) and select , and then
enter a name for your profile. Notice that IBM® Rational Rhapsody creates
a Profiles category and places your profile within it.
Alternatively, if you have a package that you want to change to be
a profile, right-click the package and select .
- Enter any information about the profile
that you want your team members to know about on the Description tab.
- Optional: You can do the following
actions:
- Define global tags for your profile:
Open the Features window for the profile (for example, double‑click
the profile name) and define tags on the Tags tab.
- Add a stereotype to your profile: On
the General tab of the Features window for
your profile, select <<New>> from
the Stereotype box. A Features window opens for the stereotype
on which you can name the stereotype. Notice that by default Rational Rhapsody sets
that this stereotype is applicable to a profile. Notice also that
you can make it a New Term stereotype.
After you close
the Features window for the stereotype and return to the Features
window for the profile, notice that the stereotype you created is
showing in the Stereotype box of the General tab
for the profile.
