Where is the wide scope meta model?

Hi
We are working with a lot of Rational products in my organization, and we are currently looking into including RAM, RRC, RQM etc. in our tool setup.

But in my analysis I have some trouble with creating the big picture.

It seems that information I can find either is simple management overview stuff like “bob and Lisa wants to solve a task” examples that gives an general idea of the objectives of tool or it is detailed technical guides e.g. how to set up/install a server.

Where do I figure out how it all relates?
 - How does assets in RAM relates to requirements in RRC?
 - How does a use case in RRC relate to a use case model in RSA?
 - How is a defect linked to asset? Defect (RQM) -> task (RTC) -> requirement (RRC) -> asset(RAM) or…?
 - .....

And how is it all implemented, which links are tool supported and which are logical link that I need to realize by id search.

Do I need to build the meta model myself by installing all these products and do explorative analysis or does a meta model or alike exists. Or maybe some terminology mapping.. or…?

RAM is a software library, which manages and catalog deliverables from Dev, 3rd parthies, Opens source ...

Typically you will link a dev. deliverable (e.g, a build) to its supporting collateral (docs, installation scripts, dependencies ....).  This will include a link to the RQM testplan, and execution record/s .... The RQM test cases are linked from RQM to RRC requirements they validate.

The build process an navigate these links, and create a direct link in RAM from the deliverable to the requirement collection in RRC.

I don't believe Kristian was asking what Rational tool he could use to capture relationships, but rather he was looking for a meta-model of all of the Rational tool artifact relationships (especially, the links).

yes :) - some kind of metamodel would help a lot

Hi Kristian,

I don't know if this will solve your question, but just have a look to IBM Relm (http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/us/en/ratiengilifemana/)

We had a presentation from IBM, and it looks like the big picture of your system and how it is developed with the tools.

greetings georg.

Hi Kristian, 

This page on Jazz.net has links to overviews of Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) and Systems and Software  Engineering (SSE), as well as overviews of individual products: https://jazz.net/products/
Here are the most recent information centers for CLM and RELM:
I hope this helps!
