The Rational® XDE
Model Import wizard generates a report that identifies semantic differences
between XDE (UML 1.4) and the Rational UML modeling products (UML
2.0) that cannot be accurately mapped. These differences are called incidents.
The report is displayed in the XDE Import Report view at the end
of the import process. The report includes the following three panes:
- Index: Displays models and their contained elements, which have associated
incidents, and global incidents that are not associated with a specific model
or element.
- Table of Contents: Displays navigation links for the selected item in
the Index pane.
- Content: Lists the incident information, including the incident category,
a message that describes the issue to address, and a suggested action for
addressing the issue. In addition, if there is an associated UML 2.0 element,
the Content pane provides a link to the element in the Model Explorer view.
To review the report:
- Expand the categories in the Index pane.
- Select the first model element.
- In the Table of Contents pane, click the link to display the incident
information. If there are multiple incidents associated with the
selected model element, the Table of Contents pane may display multiple links. The Content pane displays the information for the incident.
- Carefully read the incident information. Many of the
incidents may be similar, but they are unique. For example, unresolved model
references appear at the model level and each diagram instance of the reference
also has a corresponding incident.
- Review all of the information about every incident, including any
global incidents, to understand the potential import issues.
- After reviewing the incident information, determine whether you
need to perform any action in the imported model. If there are
a significant number of unresolved incidents, consider modifying the XDE model
and importing the model again.
