Note: The Rhapsody Gateway is not included with Rhapsody Tools and Utilities starting with V10.0. If you are using Rhapsody Gateway with DOORS V9 and an earlier version of Rhapsody , consider the following:
  • In the short term, the teams that are using Gateway occasionally, can save Rhapsody V10 models in 9.0.2 format and use Gateway.
  • In the short term, the teams that are using Gateway heavily can continue to use Rhapsody 9.0.2 and Gateway.
  • Consider using Rhapsody Model Manager and DOORS Web Access for future traceability.
  • Contact IBM to discuss the Rhapsody roadmap under a non-disclosure agreement to learn about future plans for integration with DOORS V9.
