Windchill 9.0 Server Customization - Basic - PTC Student Guide 17 Rational Rose Rational Rose: • Is a third-party UML editor from IBM • Is used to review the OOTB Windchill classes, attributes and relationships • Is used to diagrammatically document custom object-oriented solutions in Windchill • Allows developers to create graphical representations of an application, its components, their interfaces, and their relationships. – The model is represented by UML symbols • Some CASE tools, like Rational Rose, generate “real-world” artifacts which can be used to develop applications – The artifacts are based on the diagrams and are output from an artifact “generation” action – Windchill then uses this model to generate code that is used in server and client development. Rational Rose Artifacts • SQL, for persisting data • Java stub files, a starting point for development • Introspection registration of class, methods, attributes – This “informs” Windchill of the extensions and their attributes and relationships • Localization framework (resource bundles) Diagrams
