• Monitor Rational System Architect model changes with Rational Team Concert

  Given the as-is architecture from Rational System Architect, you can model the to-be architecture and analyze the impact of proposed changes. Then you can use Rational Team Concert to track changes to models by using the OSLC feature in Rational System Architect.

• Use enterprise architecture for investment decisions to guide IT deployment

  Use enterprise architecture in Rational System Architect to guide investment decisions. Import data into Rational Software Architect to plan deployment based on business priorities. Make "what" decisions in Rational System Architect, and "how" in Rational Software Architect, says the author.

• Synchronize requirements data between Rational DOORS and Rational System Architect

  It is critical to keep track of requirements associated with enterprise architecture artifacts. Learn to synchronize and map EA data within Rational DOORS requirements management software with Rational System Architect, so you can track requirements associated with the EA artifacts.

• A practical guide to developing enterprise architecture

  With humor, Franki Schafrik guides you through identifying the questions that enterprise architecture must answer, developing an approach and models, and analyses to see where you can make improvements. She assumes that you use modeling software for your architecture.

• Implement workspaces to model multiple versions of DoDAF 2 architectures

  Implement IBM Rational System Architect workspaces for different versions of enterprise, as-is, and to-be architectures; for integrating a system of systems; and for trade-off analysis. The author also describes benefits of each scenario and four software tools to analyze workspaces.
