Tool Mentor: Describing Distribution
Using Rational Software Architect
Purpose
This section provides links to additional information related to this tool mentor.
The steps in this tool mentor match those in the activity. Links to topics
in the RSA online Help are marked with .
Overview
The following steps are performed in this tool mentor:
There is no RSA specific guidance for this step.
Refine the deployment diagram created in Activity:
Architectural Analysis (Tool Mentor: Performing Architectural
Analysis Using Rational Software Architect). The Model
Structure Guidelines for Rational Software Architect white paper recommends using a Blank Model as a starting point.
Annotate the deployment diagram, or add additional diagrams, to show logical
deployment (classes, subsystems, or threads of control mapped to nodes), and/or
physical deployment (files or sets of files mapped to nodes). The steps are
as follows:
- Add additional deployment diagrams as needed. See
Adding Diagrams to Models
in the RSA online Help.
- Add nodes or node instances to the diagram. See
Adding Shapes
in the RSA online Help.
- Drag and drop design model elements or implementation model elements onto
the diagram. See
Adding Shapes
in the RSA online Help. If the element to be deployed is not yet
modeled, add it as needed to the appropriate model. (See Model Structure Guidelines for Rational Software Architect
for where each kind of element is modeled.)
- Add deploy relationships between nodes and deployed elements.
