Using Rational Rhapsody with Rational DOORS

About this task

The general process for using IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® with IBM Rational DOORS® is as follows:

Procedure

  1. Set up a project within Rational DOORS.
  2. Capture requirements and other design information in Rational DOORS.
    Note: Rational DOORS is the owner of the requirements. If you need to make changes to requirements, make them in Rational DOORS.
  3. Capture the high-level use cases, structure, sequences, and behavior of the system in Rational Rhapsody.
  4. Select elements from the Rational Rhapsody model that you want to trace to elements in Rational DOORS.
  5. Export the selected elements as shadow copies to the Rational DOORS database.
  6. Navigate to the exported elements in Rational DOORS from the Rational Rhapsody browser.
  7. Create links within Rational DOORS between the requirements and shadow copies.
  8. Run the Check tool to verify the consistency of shadows in the Rational DOORS database with elements in the Rational Rhapsody repository and the completeness of the links between the two.
  9. Navigate from the Rational DOORS database to the respective elements in Rational Rhapsody, as wanted.
