Creating Rational Synergy tasks

From IBM® Rational® Rhapsody®, use this procedure to create a IBM Rational Synergy task.

Procedure

  1. Click the Create New Task button on the Rational Synergy toolbar in Rational Rhapsody.
  2. In the window that opens, type the task synopsis name that you want to appear in the drop-down list on the Rational Synergy toolbar in Rational Rhapsody.
  3. Enter any necessary information about this window. The entries in these boxes become the properties of the task. That information is accessible for each task, as described in Viewing Rational Synergy task properties.
  4. Click Assign to save the task in Rational Synergy and make it available for use in Rational Rhapsody.

Results

Note: When you create a task, Rational Synergy names it, by default, as Task <task_number>. This action is also the default for the ConfigurationManagement::Synergy::AssignedTasksItsTaskId property in Rational Rhapsody. However, when you configure your DCM server, you can set it to insert a prefix before <task_number>. In this case, you might want to update the ConfigurationManagement::Synergy::AssignedTasksItsTaskId property to use the regular expression you want. For example, if you set the prefix ukan# on your DCM server and you want it to appear in Rational Rhapsody too, then set the value for this property to Task ukan#([0-9\.]+) otherwise the default is Task ([0-9\.]+). The value in this property must match the value set on your DCM server for created tasks to appear as you want in the drop-down list on the Rational Synergy toolbar in Rational Rhapsody.

You might also want to set the ConfigurationManagement::Synergy::AssignedTasksItsTitle property and the ConfigurationManagement::Synergy::GetCurrentTaskItsTaskId property. Use AssignedTasksItsTitle to specify a regular expression for the title of a task. It default value is Task (.*). You would use GetCurrentTaskItsTaskId while getting the current task from Rational Synergy to check if the ID for the current task is matching the given regular expression. Its default is (([^#]*#)?[0‑9\.]+).
