You can choose to ignore specific model artifacts such as profiles, type expressions, and diagrams during the XDE model import process by editing the rationalsdp.ini file. Ignoring specific artifacts cuts down on the amount of memory required to import XDE models into the Rational® modeling products.
The following table lists the artifacts that can be ignored during import and the related key you use in the rationalsdp.ini file.
Ignored artifact | Key | Description |
---|---|---|
Type expressions | -DXDE_IMPORT_NO_TYPEEXPR |
When you use this key, type expressions are not imported into the Rational modeling products. While your imported model lacks type expressions after import, this key provides the least reduction in memory. |
Diagrams | -DXDE_IMPORT_NO_DIAGRAMS |
When you use this key, diagrams are not imported into the Rational modeling products. After import, manually recreate the diagrams most important to your model, as needed. |
Profiles | -DXDE_IMPORT_NO_PROFILES |
When you use this key, profiles and type expressions are not imported into the Rational modeling products. In some instances, type expressions migrate as stereotypes in profiles so type expression migration is suppressed when you ignore profiles during the import process. |
Profiles and diagrams | -DXDE_IMPORT_NO_PROFILES_AND_DIAGRAMS |
When you use this key, profiles, diagrams, and type expressions are not imported into the Rational modeling products. While this key provides the most reduction in memory usage, you lose a lot of XDE model artifacts in the generated model. |
