Exercise 7.4 - Jama - SysML Compare & Sync

Objectives

The new learning objectives of this exercise are to compare connected requirements models in Jama and MagicDraw and synchronize changes that have arisen.

Preparation

This exercise assumes the student has

  • Cameo System Modeler 18.0 - 19.0 (or MagicDraw with SysML plug-in) installed correctly on his or her machine with a valid license for use, and

  • Syndeia 3.4 installed as a plugin for Cameo/MagicDraw 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. 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.mdzip (get it here - ) 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 text field in MagicDraw and add a sub-requirement, FCC Regulations, as shown in Figure 3.

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

  6. Return to the Connection Browser, click Refresh to show the new child requirement, right-click the Regulatory Requirements connection and select Sync Source -> Target (Figure 5).

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

  8. Check the same requirement in Jama through its web interface to see the modified requirement text and sub-requirement (Figure 7).

  9. While in the Jama interface, modify the requirement text again and add one more sub-requirement called Communications Requirement (Figure 8).

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

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

  12. View the new requirement and updated text in the MagicDraw model (Figure 10).
