Rational DOORS RT Interface : How the RT Interface Works

How the RT Interface Works

Setting up the Interface is very simple: the Rational Statemate project manager specifies the name of the corresponding Rational DOORS project; sets up default directories to hold chart plots, log files, and use case description files; and creates a default configuration file.

From the toolbar of the main Rational Statemate window or from the Properties dialog box, you export charts from the Rational Statemate project to the Rational DOORS project. The first time you export a set of charts, Rational Statemate automatically creates a formal module in the Rational DOORS database with a user-defined name, into which shadow copies of the exported charts and chart elements are placed.

Shadow copies contain the element name, type, and description fields.

Note: In the case of a Rational Statemate transition, which has no explicit name, the shadow copy is given a pseudonym.
