You can create a domain element
from a requirement if your project properties Element Creation Policy
is configured for element creation. The policy can also be configured
to create an association between the requirement and the new domain
element.
The UML linkable domain is the
only domain that is configured by default for element creation. To
create domain elements from requirements, you must use a
IBM® Software Delivery Platform product
that includes the UML linkable domain or you must configure the Element
Creation Policy for your
Rational® RequisitePro® project
to enable element creation between domain elements and requirement
types. You must also set the policy to
Link After Creation to
complete the association as described.
To create associated domain elements from requirements:
- Right-click a requirement in the Requirements
Explorer view and click . The requirement is displayed in the Link Clipboard view.
- Right-click a model or package in the Project
Explorer view or right-click a diagram and click . An associated
domain element is created in the Project Explorer view
with a name and documentation text that matches the name and text
of the requirement.
The kind of domain element that is created
is determined by the properties on the Element Creation
Policy page in the Project Properties window.
The association is direct or indirect, depending on the properties
on the Link Policy page of the Project Properties window.
As an alternative to using
the previously described menu items, you can create the domain element
by dragging a requirement to a model or a package in the Project
Explorer view or to a diagram.
