Lesson 1.2: Open a requirements project

In this lesson, you will open a Rational® RequisitePro® requirements project. The project is displayed in the Requirement Explorer view.

Rational RequisitePro requirements are stored in a project database. Although Rational RequisitePro uses IBM DB2, Oracle, and SQL Server databases for large projects, it also uses a run-time version of Microsoft Access that is included in the product for small, local projects and sample "learning projects." A Rational RequisitePro project includes a project file with the extension .rqs. This project file is used to identify key components of the project, including the database. In this lesson, you open a sample project that is delivered with Rational RequisitePro and use the sample project in subsequent lessons for associating requirements and linkable domain elements.

To open a requirements project:

  1. Click the Open a RequisitePro Project icon.
  2. In the Open a RequisitePro project window, browse to the Rational RequisitePro Use-Case Learning Project, and then open the project file (filename.rqs). By default, this is installed as C:\Program Files\Rational\RequisitePro\samples\Learning_Project-Use_Cases\LEARNING - USE CASES.RQS.
  3. If you are prompted to log on, use the default user name that is displayed in the Project Logon window. Leave the password blank and click OK.
The project is displayed in the Requirement Explorer view.
