Question & Answer
Question
How do you create custom Predefined Keywords in IBM Rational Rhapsody?
Cause
IBM Rational Rhapsody has a list of predefined keywords. These are limited in both number and scope. Using a combination of the Java API and Conditional Properties you can now create an unlimited number of custom keywords, holding any value you wish and use them with any property in your project.
Answer
This profile uses the Java API to add new properties to your project with the addProperty() method. You can retrieve any information from the project model - or your system in general - using the API to populate the values of these properties. The properties can then be used as "keywords" in any other project property using the conditional syntax:
?<IsConditionalProperty>$<Subject::Metaclass::Property>
for example:
?<IsConditionalProperty>//$<Model::Metadata::ComponentName>
To install:
- Unzip the attached file to your \Share\Profiles folder. For example: C:\Rhapsody8.1.2.1\Share\Profiles\NotEnoughProperties\bin
- Open your project and add the profile.
