Rational DOORS RT Interface : Working with the RT Interface : Exporting Rational Statemate Data to Rational DOORS : Configuring Attributes for Export

Configuring Attributes for Export

Attributes are an intrinsic part of systems engineering. They can be used to define many aspects of an element’s non-functional requirements, such as security classification, standards, quality of service requirements.

The RT Interface can be configured to export the element attributes.

All elements exported to a Rational DOORS module have the attributes types exported with them, whether or not an attribute is set in the original Rational Statemate model. If an attribute is not set, the value field will be empty.

The exported attribute values can be inspected in the DOORS module by selecting an element, right-clicking on it to open the Properties window, and finally, selecting the Attributes tab.

To configure Rational Statemate to export the element attributes:

1.
2.
From the Statemate main window, click or select Tools > RT Interface > DOORS I/F.
Note:
When you select DOORS I/F, a warning splash screen displays, which can be ignored. Click OK to delete the splash screen.
3.
Select the Advanced tab.
4.
Click Select Attributes to export.
5.
Click Choose from the Export Attributes dialog box.
6.
Select the attributes to export from the Export Attributes dialog box by pressing and holding CTRL and clicking the attributes.
7.
Click OK to confirm and close the window. The Export Attributes dialog box displays, displaying the list of attributes.
Note:
The list can be modified using the Delete and Insert buttons or by manually typing in attribute types.
8.
Click OK to close the window.
Note: To avoid mistakes, do not type in the attribute name because the RT Interface expects the correct case for the attribute type to export the values.
