Resolving broken references to subunits

You can identify missing subunits and unresolved path map references using the Resolve Subunits and Path map symbols page of the Rational Rose Model Import wizard. If your model contains unresolved path map references, you can provide a new value to resolve the reference. You can also choose to skip over any missing subunits or broken path maps references to import the model in the current state.

Before you can identify missing subunits or path map reference problems, you must use the Import a Rose Model page to select a model to import and specify a project to contain your model and related project artifacts. If your model does not contain broken references to subunits, both tables will appear empty; click Next to continue with the import process.

Using the Subunits not found and Specify the value for the unresolved Path map symbols tables, determine if a broken subunit reference is caused by a missing subunit from your Rose model or a path map symbol entry that is not pointing to the correct location:

Note: You can select the Ignore unresolved subunits check box to ignore all broken references to subunits, regardless of the cause. This check box provides a way to move to the next step in the wizard even though the model you are importing contains broken references to subunits. Ignoring unresolved subunits will cause your model to only partially import; the subunit content is not added into the imported model.

To provide a new value for a path map symbol:

  1. In the Path map symbols table, locate the path map symbol name that you want to resolve and click the value to the right of the name. An ellipsis button appears to the right of the path.
  2. Click the ellipsis button. The Browse for Folder window opens.
  3. Navigate to the appropriate location within the file system, select the folder that contains the corresponding subunits, and click OK. The value column updates with the new path.
  4. Click the Refresh button to ensure you have resolved the path map reference.
  5. (Optional) After you repair the unresolved references most important to your project, you can click the Ignore unresolved subunits check box to disregard any remaining unresolved references.
  6. Click Next.
Now you are ready to map Rose property sets to new or existing profiles.
