Lesson 9: Changing an element in Rhapsody to export to Doors

When a change is made to a model element that has been exported to Doors, the model element must be reexported. Rhapsody® Gateway must be reloaded because the UML Model changed. The Export to Doors option is selected from the Gateway and the modified model element is exported. Modifications are easy to spot in Gateway because they are always indicated with the orange symbol.
