The lesson explores how to export Rational® Rhapsody® model
elements to DOORS®, and view
those elements in DOORS.
Changes made to a Rhapsody model
element in Rhapsody are
uploaded back to DOORS. With
the model elements in DOORS,
the links from requirements to model elements are traceable. At the
end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Export Rational Rhapsody model elements to DOORS
- View the model elements in DOORS
- Change a model element in Rational Rhapsody and export the change
to DOORS
Traceability information from Rhapsody Gateway can be uploaded back to DOORS.
- Start Rational Rhapsody and load the same
elevator project you have been using in the previous lesson by opening elevator.rpy file.
- Select the elevator project, right click elevator and select Rhapsody
Gateway. The Gateway Management window opens.
- In the Coverage Analysis view, select UML
Model Rhapsody in the center Selection column.

- In the Rhapsody Gateway
option, select to open Export
elements to DOORS window.

The
left hand part of the dialog allows the selection of what to export:
- The Source UML Model list allows you to
select objects individually
- The Types list allows you to filter the
UML element types that are uploaded into DOORS
The right part of the dialog provides a tree view of the
DOORS database. The tree
is viewable when you click on the update button

.
If the
diagram images box is checked, images will also be uploaded to DOORS.
- In the Source UML Model box on the
top left, check only the ElevatorPkg box, clear
the diagram images box,.and login to DOORS.
- In the New module box on the bottom
right enter the name UML elevator model.
- Click the Update button to view
the DOORS database tree, and
select the DOORSelevatorpjt file in the tree.
Click Export
When you
click on Export, the synchronization between
Gateway and DOORS starts to
perform the export.
- Check to see what is being exported, and confirm the export
by clicking the Export button. A different Export
elements to DOORS dialog opens that says that DOORS export operation is completed.
- Click the OK button and click Close in
the original Export elements to DOORS dialog.
All model elements are successfully exported to DOORS. If you want to change an element before
exporting it to DOORS follow
the steps listed in lesson 9.
Note: - If the New Module field is empty and a
project is selected, the module is created in the DOORS database with the name of the uploaded
document assigned in Gateway.
- If a module is selected then the upload is appended to the selected
module.

model elements are exported to DOORS in
