This feature integrates WebSphere Business Integration Modeler projects into the UML 2.0
model format that Rational Software Architect and Rational Software
Modeler support.
To view the latest version of this file, see the readme at www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rsa/60/html/wbi/readme.html
If you have an existing WebSphere Business Integration Modeler project, you can view it as a generated UML 2.0 model file. The generated UML model represents the specification, or contract, that defines usage and realization requirements for implementation architectures.
You can also create a separate UML model to represent a specific implementation of the business artifacts that are defined in the business model. You can then use model-driven development to extend, implement, and realize the artifacts that the generated UML 2.0 model defines.
For more information, install the feature and see the online help in the product.
For information about installing the WebSphere Business Integration Modeler integration feature, see the Installation instructions.
Attention: Do not cancel the installation of the interim feature after it starts.
This feature requires no additional hardware requirements.
This feature installs with version 6.0 of either IBM Rational Software Architect or IBM Rational Software Modeler. Before you install this feature, you must install interim fix 002 for Rational Software Architect and Rational Software Modeler.
This feature supports the integration of business models from WebSphere Business Integration Modeler versions 5.1 and 5.1.1.
| Defect | Description |
| 531447 | Notes and note attachments are not visible in the diagram editor After you import a business model, notes and note attachments are not visible in the diagram editor. |
| 532163 | All role requirements that you assign to any task in the same process must have unique names In a business model, role requirement names must be unique within the scope of their containing process, not just their containing task. |
| 531320 | Incomplete hierarchy structure definition mapping Several business model element types are not supported for this release. Unsupported element types include structure definitions, structures, node types, nodes, timers, and observers. |
| 531713 | Mapping occurs for the first task role requirement only A task with multiple role requirements appears in only one partition, which corresponds to its first role requirement. |
| Defect | Description |
| 531761 | A process model with a notification broadcaster is not visualized as an activity diagram The notification broadcaster in the WebSphere Business Integration Modeler maps to a UML 2.0 broadcast signal action, which is not yet supported by activity diagrams. |
| 532195 | Saving a business model as an XMI file can corrupt the model You should not save a business model over its original resources.XMI file because the business model becomes corrupted. This scenario can occur whenever you open a business model indirectly because of a dependency on another model. |
| 532107 | Missing object flow from a start node to a task with a role requirement When a task with a role requirement maps to UML 2.0, any connections to or from the corresponding call operation action might not display in an activity diagram. |
Before you install this feature, you must install interim fix 002 for Rational Software Architect and Rational Software Modeler. To find updates, click Help > Software Updates > IBM Rational Product Updater.
