Importing Rose models that are linked to RequisitePro projects

You can use the Rational Rose Model Import wizard to import Rose models into the Rational® modeling products, including Rational Rose® models that have a direct association with an existing RequisitePro® project. When you import a RequisitePro-linked Rose model, the Rational Rose Model Import wizard converts the RequisitePro property set to a RequisitePro UML 2.0 profile.

For more information about using the Rational Rose® Model Import wizard, see the help topics on migrating Rose models.

Important: To successfully import your RequisitePro-linked Rose model, you must complete the following steps or you will not be able to connect the use case model elements in the imported model with the corresponding requirements in a RequisitePro project.
To import a Rose model that is linked to a RequisitePro project:
  1. Click File > Import.
  2. In the Import wizard, click Rational Rose model, and click Next.
  3. In the Rose Model Import wizard, specify the RequisitePro-linked Rose model that you want to import, define a project to contain the model, and then click Next.
  4. On the Resolve Subunits and Path map symbols page, resolve any broken references to subunits and path maps (if needed), click Refresh, and then click Next.
  5. On the Map Property Sets page, complete the following steps:
    1. Select the Import property sets as UML profiles check box.
    2. In the table, select the RequisitePro property set.
    3. Click Convert it to a new profile.
    4. Verify that the profile name is RequisitePro. If you name the profile anything other than RequisitePro, the RequisitePro upgrade process will not work correctly.
    5. Optional: To speed the importing process and simplify the Model Explorer view, skip any unwanted property sets during the import process: in the table, select a property set and click Ignore this property set.
    6. Click Next.
  6. To import your RequisitePro-linked model, advance through the last pages of the wizard and click Finish.

The RequisitePro-linked Rose model is imported into the Rational modeling products as a UML 2.0 model with a file name extension of .emx; the RequisitePro property set is imported as a UML 2.0 profile named RequisitePro.epx.

After you import the model, you must open the Requirements perspective and establish the association between the imported model and an existing RequisitePro project by using the RequisitePro Upgrade wizard.
