This article was first published in May, 2002, and refers to IBM® Rational®
XDE® v2003
The IBM® Rational® XDE® Release Notes contain important information
you will need to install and use the product. It is important to review the
document for your respective platform because it describes:
- What to do before you start installation.
- How to install.
- How to start Rational XDE and create a new model.
- How to open your existing models, and the compatibility issues that affect how your models appear and work.
- Known problems that you may encounter.
- How to contact technical support.
Upgrade guidance: upgrading from XDE 2002 to XDE 2003
This document describes the issues to be considered when you upgrade from XDE
2002 to XDE 2003 in a team environment. It also specifically considers the implications
of IBM® Rational® ClearCase® 2002 and ClearCase 2003, including
XDE considerations in upgrading from one to the other. There are very important
considerations when you upgrade models, particularly those kept in a repository
such as ClearCase. Click here

Alternate workflow: setting up a ClearCase UCM environment
This document replaces the following section of the XDE Guide to team development,
Version 2003.06.00.
- Setting Up the ClearCase Environment
This section is located on pages 147 and 199 of the guide and replaces the following
ranges of steps:
- Step 1 (page 148) to Step 4 (page 155)
- Step 1 (page 200) to Step 4 (page 208)
This document describes an alternate method of setting up a ClearCase UCM environment.
By creating a new UCM project instead of using the project created by the ClearCase
Getting Started Wizard, you can eliminate a number of steps. Click here
