For information about Hardware/Software requirements for this release, refer to the RequisitePro Release Notes.
If you do not know which product versions you have installed on your system, go to Start > Programs > Rational [product name] > Rational Software Installed Product Information.
The release described in this document enhances Integrated Use Case Management functionality in RequisitePro by enabling the integration between RequisitePro and Rational XDE. You can install both Rational Rose and XDE on the same system. You can associate RequisitePro projects, requirements, and documents with either Rose or XDE models. We recommend that for production purposes, you use one modeling tool exclusively for the integration with RequisitePro.
To install this service release, take the following steps:
If you are upgrading from Rational RequisitePro Service Release 2002.05.01.305.000 (or a Rational Suite product containing the service release), you may encounter the following error summary after installing this release:
This installation was previously upgraded to service release 1. To update additional products and components that you installed after applying the service release, reinstall service release 1.
You do not need to reinstall service release. Click Next to continue. (RATLC00017907)
Integrated Use Case Management is available when RequisitePro is installed on the same system as XDE or Rose. For each XDE model you want to integrate with RequisitePro, you must set the model's AppliedProfiles property to RequisitePro:
Note: The AppliedProfiles value is case-sensitive. You must type RequisitePro exactly as indicated.
Setting the AppliedProfiles property automatically creates the necessary default packages in the model (Component View, Deployment View, Logical View, Use Case View) and adds the RequisitePro integration to the XDE Tools menu. To associate your XDE model and its use cases to RequisitePro artifacts, click Tools > Rational RequisitePro in XDE. Integrated Use Case Management Help is also available on this menu.
For more information on Integrated Use Case Management, refer to Integrated Use Case Management Help, which can be accessed from Rose or XDE from the Tools > RequisitePro menu. To access this menu in Rose or XDE, RequisitePro must be installed.
