Before you begin the Rose model import process, it is important
that you understand all Rose model migration limitations.
The Rose model import process has the following limitations:
- After you import your Rose model, it is probable that your imported model
will contain numerous error, warning, and informational messages in the Problems view.
Messages like these are expected because Rose is based on UML 1.4, whereas
Software Architect and Software Modeler are based on UML 2.0. Most messages
in the Problems view point out specific differences in UML notation, and how
certain Rose model elements map into Software Architect and Software Modeler.
- The Rational Rose Model Import wizard only imports Rose models; you cannot
import Rational Rose Real-Time (RT) models.
- The import process is one-way; once you import a model into Software Architect
or Software Modeler, you cannot bring the imported model back into Rose.
- The Rational modeling products do not support cross-platform import. If
you created your Rose model on a Windows® version of Rose, you cannot
import the model to a Linux version of Software Architect or Software Modeler.
