Since a profile
is a package, it can be used in other projects
to save time and support corporate standards easily.
About this task
To use your customized
profiles:
Procedure
- Make a corresponding
text file for your
custom profile and give it the same name but with the .txt extension.
Add a description for the profile. The content of the text files displays
on the description area of the New Project window.
For
example, if your customized profile is MyProfile.sbs,
create a MyProfile.txt file.
- Copy the .sbs file for the profile and the
corresponding .txt file to <Rational Rhapsody
installation path>\Share\Profiles\<customized
profiles foldername>. For example, you would
place a copy of the MyProfile.sbs and MyProfile.txt files
in, for example, C:\Rhapsody\Share\Profiles\CustomProfiles.
If
you have packages under your profile, choose to not make each package
its own separate unit so that you can keep the entire profile in a
single .sbs
file (clear the Store in separate file for those
packages).
- When you want to
use a custom profile with
a new project, you can select the profile from the Project Type drop‑down
list of the New Project window.
Results
You can also share your custom profiles
through the following methods:
- Save the
customized profile (package) and make
it available through a CM system or in a shared area where other developers
can access it.
- Add a custom profile to an existing
project with . Select the customized
profile (an .sbs file)
from its stored location.
Note that with this method
certain elements might not be brought over to your new project is
they are not associated specifically with the profile/project.
- When multiple projects are displayed in a browser,
a developer can drag the customized profile from one project to a
different open project to reuse it.
Note: You
can set your customized profile to be
automatically added to a new project either as a copy or a reference
using the AutoCopied or AutoReferences properties.
