During Rational Statemate design work, model elements frequently change, and in certain instances may be deleted altogether. As a result, it is necessary to re-export and synchronize the data in the Rational Statemate project with the data stored in the Rational DOORS repository.
Note that in order to maintain the charts hierarchy in the DOORS repository, when running a re-export, all ancestors of the modified charts must exist in the Statemate workarea, so the tool will identify their location in DOORS. The tool will recognize which charts are modified and need to be re-exported,
To re-export and synchronize data:
3. Set up the RT Interface to synchronize the data.
4. Synchronize the data.
Modified elements overwrite existing elements (with user-prompting for confirmation) and deleted elements are deleted – both from the Rational DOORS repository and from the corresponding shadow copy.Note: You must re-export Rational Statemate data to Rational DOORS manually. No automatic mechanism (like a makefile) triggers the re-exporting and synchronization of data when new Rational Statemate elements are created or when existing ones are changed or deleted.For more detailed instructions, see Exporting Rational Statemate Data to Rational DOORS.
