1.0 About this release

The IBM® Rational Rose® Model Import feature provides users with the ability to migrate, with a high degree of fidelity, their existing Rational® Rose models and related artifacts into IBM Rational Software Modeler, IBM Rational Software Architect, or IBM Rational Systems Developer. After importing a Rose model that is linked to an IBM Rational RequisitePro® project, you can re-establish the RequisitePro requirement links.

To view the latest version of this file, see the release notes at www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rsa/60/html/rmi/readme_601501.html.

1.1 What's new

Relative paths are now converted to absolute paths. If an external doc reference contains a pathmap symbol, the pathmap symbol will be resolved if it is not prefixed pathmap for example, not occurring at the start of the file path. (non prefix pathmaps are not supported).

For a prefixed pathmap, the user will be prompted to update pathmap symbol table. The value for the pathmap symbol should be derived from the Rose pathmap values and all recursive calls should be resolved.

1.2 Product fix history

The following fixes are included in this release of the Rational Rose Model Import feature:
