Generating documents

You can generate documents in any of the four output types that IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® ReporterPLUS supports: Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, HTML, RTF, and text.
Note: If you are generating reports in Linux and receive an error, you can correct this problem by starting IBM Rational Rhapsody and exiting it. Then return to ReporterPLUS to generate the reports.

You can use the same template for all document types. However, there are differences among the output formats that affect the way the document looks and, in some cases, even the document content. As you generate different types of documents, note these differences.

You can use the GetStarted.tpl and Dishwasher.rpy to generate Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and HTML documents.

Note: You can also generate a text document from the GetStarted template by selecting Text File in the Generate Document dialog box. However, because the text format does not support graphics, you see only the diagram names and class information.
Note: To generate a document, you must have a working model and a Rational Rhapsody ReporterPLUS template loaded in Rational Rhapsody.
