Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 5

Start Rational Rose

 Start Rose
 Start  Programs  Rational Rose
 Rational Rose

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 6

Create a New Model

 When Rose is started

 When Rose has been started: File  New

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 7

Create a New Model

 From Scratch
 Cancel the loaded window

 Using a Template or Frame-work

 Select <model>

 OK

 From File System

 Existing

OR
 Recent

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 8

To Save a Model

 File  Save o Save As

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 9

Create a Class Diagram
 Browser: Logical View  Right Button Menu  New  Class
Diagram
 Menu : Browse  Class Diagram

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 10

Creating more Diagrams

 Select <View> in Browser

  Right Button Menu  New  <diagram>

 Browse Menu  <diagram>

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 11

Toolbar for Class Diagrams

 Any element of a diagram can be created by

 placing the mouse pointer over a Tool in the Toolbar

 Drag&Drop over the diagram canvas

text

Note interface
class generalization
asociation
Note Anchor package
Pointer
dependency or instantiation
Association class
realization
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 12
Create a Class
 Place mouse pointer on Class Tool
 Toolbar : Click Class button Icon
 Menu: Tools  Create  Class
  Click on Diagram Window
OR
 Browser : Sel. Logic View  right button menu  New Class
(Sel. Clase  Drag &Drop over Diagram Window)

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 13

Create Diagram Elements

 Place Mouse Pointer

 Click on Toolbar button
 Sel. Diagram in Browser  right button  New <element>
 Menu  Tools  Create
  Click on diagram

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 14

Specify Class Name
 Directely in the diagram
 Double click on the class  “Class Specification for
NewClass”

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 15

 Specify Diagram Elements

 Specification Window
 Allows you to specify a
model element (diagrams,
classes, packages,
relationship...)
 The attributes or sub-
elements to be specified
depend on the selected
element

In each TabWindow attributes and sub-elements would be specified

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 16

Specify Diagram Elements
 Open Specification Window
 Double Click on element via Browser or Diagram Window
 Sel. element (Browser,Diagram Window)  Mouse right button menu 
Open Specification
 Sel. elemento  Browse menu  Open Specification

 Shorcuts of TabWindows, Properties, WIndow Specification Menus

 Sel. Element (Browser,Diagram Window)  right button Menu  new
<subelement> (attribute, operation...) OR <Property> OR <TabWindow>

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 17

 Class Graphic

An element
•Can be in multiple diagrams
•Only one instance in the Browser

Synchronized

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 18

 Delete an Element

 Shallow Delete
 Edit Delete
 Select element in diagram  key DEL
It is not deleted from the MODEL!! (only from the diagram, not from Browser)

 Deep Delete
 Select element in Browser  click right button  Delete
 Select element in diagram  Click CTRL+D
It is deleted from the MODEL!! (It will disapear from the diagram and from the Browser)

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 19

Create an Operation
 Diagram: Select class  Mouse right button menu  New
Operation
 Browser: Select class  Mouse right button menu  New
Operation

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 20

Specify an Operation
 Directly: write the signature of the method
 << stereotype>> nameOperation( param: Typo,...) : Return Type
 Indirectly: Class Specifcation  tab Operations  right button menu 
Insert (operation)
 Double click on method  Operation Specification Name  Details  right button menu
 Insert (parameter)

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 21

Specify an Operation

 Name
 Parameter
 Name,Type
 Return Type
 Accesibility
 Public, Protected, Private
 Abstract o Concrete
 (checkbox Abstract in Details TabWindow)

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 22

Create an Attribute
 Diagram: Select class  Mouse right button menu  New
Attribute
 Browser: Select class  Mouse right button menu  New
Attribute

Browser: would be updated in Diagram Window

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 23

Specify Attribute
 Directly: write the signature of the attribute
 << stereotype>> nameAttribute : Type
 Indirectly: Class Specification  tab Attributes  right button menu  Insert (
attribute)
 Double click on attribute  Attribute Specification Name  Type

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 24

Specify Attributes

 Name
 Type
 Accesibility
 Public, Protected,Private
 Class Abstract or Concrete
 (checkbox Abstract in Details TabWindow)

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 25

Class Relationships

 UML Relationships in Rational Rose

 Generalization
 Association
 Aggregation
 Composition
 Dependency

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 26

UML Relationships in Rational Rose

 Generalization (Inheritance)

B A

 Association

roleB roleA
B A
1..n

multiplicity

B A

Navegability from B to A
Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 27
Relaciones UML en Rose

 Aggregation

B A

 Composition

B A

 Dependency or Instantiation

B A

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 28

Create Generalization
 Place Mouse Pointer over Tool
 Click on button Toolbar
 Menu  Tools  Create Generalization
  Click on Diagram Window  Connect element B to A

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 29

Specify Generalization

 Like the rest of the elements:

 Double click on element
 Sel. element  right button menu  Open Specification or
Shortcut of TabWindow/Property
 Sel. Sel element  Browse menu  Specification
 (note: it does appear on the Browser)

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 30

Create an Association
 Place mouse pointer over Tool
 Click on Toolbar button
 Menu  Tools  Create Generalization
  Click on Diagram Window  Connect element B to A

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 31

 Specify Association
 Like the rest of Elements:
 Double click, Sel (Browser Diagram Window) + Right Button
Menu, Browse menu)

It will appear as another element

else in the Browser

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 32

Specify Association
 Specify
 Navegability
 Accesibility
 public (+), protected (#), private (-)
 Multiplicity (1..n, 0..n, etc...)
 Aggregation B -roleB agregationName -roleA A
 Role names 1 0..n

 Association names
 Content Type:
 Reference, Value, no specify

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 33

Model Organization

 A model can be organized using packages

Graphic Model (group, include model elements)

“Folder” Structure

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 34

Move Elements across Packages

 Drag&Drop in each Package Browser from

one to another
 One to One
 Pay attention: by moving the classes it does not
mean that associations will move as well!!
(Rational Rose 2000>)
 They are elements with Identity

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 35

Copy Cut Paste Elements between diagrams

 Within the same Rational Rose model we are

talking about the diagrams figures
 The elements appearing in the Browser are the
only elements in the entire model.
 An element can appear in multiple diagrams
 If it is a different package, indicate from where the package
come from “from <Package>”

Lect 1: Rational Rose Tutorial 36

 Copy Cut Paste Elements between diagrams

 Between two instances of Rational Rose

Copy, Paste
 create the new elements
 If they dont exist in the model destination
 If they dont exist in the model destination, but the paste
is in the package destination
 keep the existing if they exist in the model destination
and the paste is in the same package
