Mapping Rose stereotypes to profiles

You can map Rational Rose® stereotypes (defined in stereotype configuration files) to new or existing profiles using the Map Property Sets page of the Rational Rose Model Import wizard. You can also choose to skip specific Rose stereotypes during the import process if they are not important or used in your model.

If you do not want to import any of the Rose stereotypes to a profile, clear the Import stereotypes as UML profiles check box, and then click Next to specify preferences that define how diagram elements appear after import.

Note: If you have already imported a Rose model, a warning message may appear in the header of the Rational Rose Model Import wizard indicating that a new stereotype must be mapped to an existing profile. This message appears when you import a stereotype configuration file that has changed since the last time you imported it.
Important: When you import stereotypes defined in stereotype configuration (INI) files of a specific add-in, you must have Rose as well as the corresponding add-in installed. For example, if you are importing a model created with the Java™ Add-In, you must have both Rose and the Java Add-In installed so the Rational Rose Model Import wizard can access the various EJB stereotypes and related image files used by the Java Add-In. For best results, import your Rose model in the same Rose environment used when you developed the Rose model.
To map Rose stereotypes to UML profiles:
  1. To display all of the settings to import Rose stereotypes to profiles, select the Import stereotypes as UML profiles check box.
  2. Select a stereotype configuration from the Stereotype table and complete one of the following steps:
    • To skip a stereotype configuration so it does not go through the model import process, select Ignore this stereotype configuration.
    • To combine a stereotype configuration with an existing profile, select Reference an existing profile and use the Browse button to navigate and select an existing profile.
    • To map a stereotype configuration into a new profile, select Convert it to a new profile, and then specify a project, location, and name for the new profile.
  3. Click Next to advance to the next page of the wizard.
Now you can specify preferences that determine how diagram elements appear when you import a model.
