It is recommended that once you have configured the necessary export operations, you capture these settings in a default configuration file. You can use the default configuration file as the basis for later, customized export configurations. Typically a configuration file is saved once an export profile has been created.
To set up a default configuration file:
1. Create a directory to hold the configuration file, for example:C:\Doors\ConfigFiles
.
Note: Do not use any white spaces in the directory name; otherwise, Rational DOORS will not be able to resolve the link.
2. Save the current configuration settings that Rational Statemate has saved in its own named file as a new file with a name you determine, by doing the following:
a.
Note: When you select DOORS I/F, a warning splash screen displays, which can be ignored. Click OK to delete the splash screen.
b.
c. Browse to the configuration file directory you created in Step 1 and enter a name for the default configuration file, ensuring that it has adcf
suffix. For example,myProjectDefaultConfig.dcf
.
d. Click Save to confirm your choice.
3. Set up RT Interface preferences to point to your default configuration file by doing the following:
a. From the Rational Statemate main window, select Project > Preferences Management > RT Interface. The RT Interface Preferences dialog box displays
b. Select User from the pull-down menu.
c. Enter the full path and name of the your configuration file in the Value text field for DOORS I/F Configuration file.
d. Click Apply to confirm the changes.
The changes to the preferences take effect the next time Rational Statemate is started. The default configuration file is loaded the next time the RT Interface is opened.Note: Configuration files do not save the selection of elements in Rational Statemate, just the settings in the RT Interface.
