Reviewing the XDE import report

The Rational® XDE Model Import wizard generates a report that identifies semantic differences between XDE (UML 1.4) and the Rational UML modeling products (UML 2.0) that cannot be accurately mapped. These differences are called incidents.
The report is displayed in the XDE Import Report view at the end of the import process. The report includes the following three panes:

To review the report:

  1. Expand the categories in the Index pane.
  2. Select the first model element.
  3. In the Table of Contents pane, click the link to display the incident information. If there are multiple incidents associated with the selected model element, the Table of Contents pane may display multiple links. The Content pane displays the information for the incident.
  4. Carefully read the incident information. Many of the incidents may be similar, but they are unique. For example, unresolved model references appear at the model level and each diagram instance of the reference also has a corresponding incident.
  5. Review all of the information about every incident, including any global incidents, to understand the potential import issues.
  6. After reviewing the incident information, determine whether you need to perform any action in the imported model. If there are a significant number of unresolved incidents, consider modifying the XDE model and importing the model again.
