.

Preparation

This exercise assumes the student has

• IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2 installed correctly on his or her machine with a valid license for use, and
• Syndeia 3.3 installed as a plugin for Rhapsody with a valid license for use
• Syndeia Jama interface, correctly installed with a valid license for user.
• A Jama repository network connection in the Syndeia Repository Manager

The user can use any Jama repository they have available. It is generally advisable to carry out these exercises in a non-production repository, a "sandbox", set up for training and practice purposes.

Exercise

1. This exercise assumes the user has completed either Exercise 7.2 or 7.3 and created a set of linked requirements between the SysML model Syndeia_Jama_Mapping_Tutorial.rpy and their Jama repository.
2. In the Connection Browser tab on the Syndeia dashboard, select the Regulatory Requirements connection created in either exercise. Right-click and compare across that connection before any changes have been made to see that all is in sync (Figure 1).

3. The Comparison Result tab will open and the results should appear similar to Figure 2.

4. Modify the Regulatory Requirements Specification field in Rhapsody and add a sub-requirement, FCC Regulations, as shown in Figure 3.

   Changes to Regulatory Requirements:

• Updated Text
  
• New Child Requirement

1. Compare across the same connection as in Step 2 and display the comparison results (Figure 4).

1. Repeat the comparison as in Step 2 and check that the Comparison Result shows all green, as in Figure 6.

1. Check the same requirement in Jama through its web interface to see the modified requirement text and sub-requirement (Figure 7). Note that this is now version 2 of the requirement, because it has been modified by the Syndeia update.

1. Repeat the comparison as in Step 5 to see the changes (Figure 9).

1. In the Connection Browser, right-click the Regulatory Requirements connection and select Sync Target → Source.

1. View the new requirement and updated text in the Rhapsody model (Figure 10).
