Objectives
The new learning objectives of this exercise are to compare connected requirements models in Jama and Rhapsody and synchronize changes that have arisen.
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
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 (Get it here - SysML Models, Profiles and Mappings.) and their Jama repository.
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).

The Comparison Result tab will open and the results should appear similar to Figure 2.
Figure 2 Initial comparison result
Modify the Regulatory Requirements Specification field in Rhapsody and add a sub-requirement, FCC Regulations, as shown in Figure 3.
Compare across the same connection as in Step 2 and display the comparison results (Figure 4).
Figure 4 Comparison Results after modifying Rhapsody requirements
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).
Figure 5 Syncing SysML changes to Jama
Repeat the comparison as in Step 2 and check that the Comparison Result shows all green, as in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Comparison Results after syncing SysML to Target
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.
Figure 7 Jama web interface showing modified requirements
While in the Jama interface, modify the requirement text again and add one more sub-requirement called Communications Requirement (Figure 8).
Figure 8 Making changes to Jama requirements in Jama web interface
Repeat the comparison as in Step 5 to see the changes (Figure 9).
Figure 9 Comparison Results after modifying Jama requirements
In the Connection Browser, right-click the Regulatory Requirements connection and select Sync Target → Source.
View the new requirement and updated text in the Rhapsody model (Figure 10).
