You
can create a domain element from a requirement if your project properties
Element Creation Policy is configured for element creation. The policy can
also be configured to create an association between the requirement and the
new domain element.
The UML linkable domain is the only domain
that is configured by default for element creation. To create domain elements
from requirements, you must use a
Rational® Software Delivery Platform product
that includes the UML linkable domain or you must configure the Element Creation
Policy for your
Rational RequisitePro® project
to enable element creation between domain elements and requirement types.
You must also set the policy to
Link After Creation to
complete the association as described.
To create associated domain elements from requirements:
- Right-click a requirement in the Requirements Explorer view
and click . The requirement
is displayed in the Link Clipboard view.
- Right-click a model or package in the Project Explorer view
or right-click a diagram and click . An associated domain element is created in
the Project Explorer view with a name and documentation
text that matches the name and text of the requirement.
The kind of domain
element that is created is determined by the properties on the Element
Creation Policy page in the Project Properties window.
The association is direct or indirect, depending on the properties on the
Link Policy page of the Project Properties window.
As
an alternative to using the previously described menu items, you can create
the domain element by dragging a requirement to a model or a package in the Project
Explorer view or to a diagram.
