In the Rational UML modeling products, the name and documentation of a use case model element must be synchronized with the name and text of a requirement in a RequisitePro project. The default setting for the synchronization policy for use cases is Prompt. If a conflict between the use case model element and a requirement is detected, a synchronization window opens so that you can decide which name and text to use. However, to avoid the opening of multiple synchronization windows during the RequisitePro upgrade, the use case name is always copied to the requirement name. If the use case model element does not contain documentation, the requirement text from the RequisitePro project is copied to the use case documentation.
If the use case model element contains documentation, you specify a preference for synchronizing use case documentation with requirement text.
To specify synchronization preferences for use case and requirement text:Option | Description |
---|---|
Overwrite requirement text in the RequisitePro project | The use case model element documentation text overwrites existing
requirement text in the RequisitePro project during synchronization. Note: If
the requirement is document-based, the Microsoft® Word document is updated.
|
Overwrite usecase documentation in the model | The requirement text in the RequisitePro project overwrites any existing use case model element documentation during synchronization. |
Use requirement's synchronization setting | The RequisitePro
Upgrade wizard uses the RequisitePro Integration Synchronization
policy to determine synchronization settings for use case model elements.
For example, if the policy is set as Prompt, the synchronization
window opens so that you can select either the name and text of the model
element or of the requirement during synchronization. If the policy is set
as Element Wins, the policy causes the name and text
of the model element to overwrite the name and text of the associated requirement. Tip: To access requirement project properties, in the Requirement Explorer
view, right-click a project icon.
