How can I integrate Rational Software Architect 8.5 with Rational Asset Manager 7.5.1 to compose library models?
Hello!
I'm trying to find a way to use a uml model in RSA to create and transform into a Library with asset types definitions, categories definitions, etc to import in Rational Asset Manager.
I read this paper that use RSA 7.5 and an older version of RAM: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/08/0923_larsen/ but i'm using RSA 8.5 and dont work.
Have a documentation that i can read about this same funcionality expressed in paper for newers versions of these softwares?
In RAM and RSA documentations the only explanation is to reuse a whole model and not to generate a library to import in RAM.
I know that I can use the wizards of RAM administration but in a case that I need to define a large library the work is more costly and of course a visual modeling is great to explain for others.
Grateful for the attention.

Yuri, I coded the RSA plugin which configures RAM asset types, category schemas, relationship types and so forth. I used two APIs to do this...the RSA UML2 API and the RAM Java API. As you can tell I have not yet upgraded the plugin to RSA 8. I also created a UML profile in RSA to handle some of the RAM semantics in the model. This plugin works in a bi-directional manner. But, if you code this yourself you may suffice by reading the UML model and updating the RAM configuration. Currently the repository-level RAM configuration is updated and not any of the community-level configurations.
Thanks,

Thank you for your answer
I'll stduy this way but I have a other question that is:
Can I use RSA 7.0 and RAM configurator and try upload this model in RAM 7.5.1?
I saw this technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21329174 and its probaly that I can make this?

Thanks for your explanations. I solved my problem using RSA 7.0 with RAM 7.5. This works fine.
The reason that I cannot use the API's at this moment is because I'm making a thesis and cannot add more work to validate. But your simple explanation about these API's helped open my mind.
Thank you for attention.
Att,
