Tool Mentor: Structuring the Implementation Model Using Rational Rose
Purpose
This tool mentor describes how to create and structure the model
elements that represent the implementation model of a system.
This section provides links to additional information related to this tool mentor.
Overview
Component diagrams provide a physical view of the current model. A component
diagram shows the organizations and dependencies among implementation elements,
including source code files, binary code files, and executable files, modeled
as components.
For
more information about Component Diagrams, see the Component
Diagrams (Overview) topic in the Rational Rose online help.
The following is a summary of the steps you perform to structure the
implementation model:
-
Create a component diagram in the Component View
- Create a subsystem structure that
mirrors the Design Model structure
1. Create a component diagram in the Component
View
In this step, you should:
2. Create a subsystem structure that mirrors the
Design Model structure
Subsystems are modeled as packages. In this step you:
You can drag executables (.exe), ActiveX (.ocx), Data Link Libraries (.dll),
and Type Libraries (.tlb) from a source such as Explorer and drop them in a
component package (either in the browser or a diagram). You should limit the
elements you include to those that are external to your model or elements that
are used by the modeled system only. These elements are not intended to be reverse
engineered into the model since they rarely contain the complete source code.
They are only necessary when building your system.
