Trace from RRC requirement to RSA model

Hi Kristian,

Here is a link from the 4.0.3 information center.  It contains information on how to setup and configure the integration.  Once this is completed you should have the "derives" link type to link a RRC requirement with an artifact in RSA.

Hello Kristian,

The integration with RRC is not directly from RSA, it goes via OSCL linking, through RSA Design Manager.
This means you would import your RSA models in RSA Design Manager, and then link the Design Manager resources to RRC artifacts. In RSA, you could install the Design Manager Extension, and from the Design Explorer view you could see the models as stored in the Design Manager Server, as well as their links to RRC artifacts.

Assuming you are using version 4.0.x of RSA DM and RRC:

- this tutorial shows how to establish traceability between Design Manager and CLM applications:

- this page describes the DM-RRC integration:

-  this technote describes which versions introduced links in which direction (between RSA DM and RRC):

Does this answer your question?

Thank you and regards, Lara

Hi Lara

Thanks! It give me more insight :)

I still dont really grasp the nature of the integration. In the demo i saw it was shown as you describe, link from RRC req. to RSA DM (design manger) resource, but to find the actual model in RSA a model id search is done. So i guess the what you browse in RSA DM is a static snap shot of RSA model?

But then it confuses me when i read things like this:

"You can share models created in Rational Software Architect or Rational Rhapsody, edit the models by using the web client, and conduct online design reviews with peers and stakeholders.

You can also reuse existing resources and artifacts. For example, you can search the repository to find an element, place it on your own diagrams, and draw relationships to it, or to find an interface or component built by other teams that you want to reuse."

Edit RSA models in web client??

i guess i need to get it up and running to understand, so far we do not have Design manager installed..
