This is a collection best practices for authoring methods using IBM® Rational® Method Composer Version 7.5. The IBM Method Authoring Method provides step-by-step processes for authoring methods, including tool mentors.
There are multiple IBM Method Authoring Method (MAM) configurations, each with different objectives and intended audiences.
- IBM MAM Basic: Describes the minimal process for authoring a basic method that is relatively small, independent, not integrated with a larger set of methods, and usually built by a small team. This is the configuration that forms the basis of the Rational Education Rational Method Composer Basic Method Authoring course.
- IBM MAM for the IBM Practice Library (IPL): Describes a process for authoring methods that are intended to exist within the IBM Practice Library (IPL). The IPL is the practice library that is included with Rational Method Composer Version 7.5.
- Zipped version of the published Web sites: Just unzip and double-click the index.htm file.
Note: When extracting the zipped published Web sites, it is a good idea to unzip them at (or close to) the root level (for example, C:/RMC_Published). This is because the generated file names are often long. - Zipped exported configuration: Unzip the exported files and import them into an existing library by using File > Import > Library Configuration from within Rational Method Composer.
- Zipped exported tags: Unzip the exported tag groups and import them into an existing library by using File > Import > Tags. Then check the Practices and MAM Practices tag groups in your tag preferences (Window > Preferences > Method > Authoring > Tags).
