Confirming Rational XDE profiles to import

You can use the Profile Confirmation page of the Rational XDE Model Import wizard to view the import status for user-defined XDE profiles. You can also choose to ignore specific profiles and specify a destination folder to hold the XDE profiles you want to import.

The default behavior of the Rational XDE Model Import wizard is to import all profiles listed in the profile table. If a profile has been previously imported, the wizard uses the imported profile; the profile is not reimported. If you want the default behavior, you can click Next to advance to the next page in the wizard.

The table that appears on the Profile Confirmation page has three columns: Profile Name, Version; Current State; and Action. Each profile is set to one of the following current states:
  • Not yet imported: The XDE profile has not been imported.
  • Already imported: The XDE profile was imported during a previous session of the Rational XDE Model Import wizard.

Each profile has a corresponding action that is dependent upon the current state of the profile. Actions indicate what will happen to the profile as a result of going through the import process using the Rational XDE Model Import wizard.

The following table lists the possible profile states and provides the possible actions you can take on a per profile basis.

Current state Possible actions
Not yet imported Import

The XDE profile will go through the import process.

Don’t import

The XDE profile will not be imported; all references to it will be removed from other UML 2.0 profiles being imported.

Browse for imported profile

Select this action if you know of a previously imported version of this profile that the wizard does not know about. Once you browse to the imported profile, the wizard changes the state for the selected profile to Already imported; and the action for the selected profile to Use Existing.

Already Imported Don’t import

The XDE profile will not be imported. References to it will be replaced by references to the existing UML 2.0 profile.

Re-import

The XDE profile will be reimported and overwrites the existing UML 2.0 profile from the previous import session if the destination folder is the same.

To specify actions for the current state of a profile:
  1. Select a profile from the Profiles found in models table.
  2. Optional: Select a different action on the Action menu.
  3. Optional: Click the Browse button to navigate to an existing project, or click the New Project button to start the New Project wizard. Profiles and models cannot reside in the same project.
  4. Click the Next button.
Now you can advance to the Import Options page where you can specify how you want your models to import.
