Creating a system model

Before you can create components in a system model, you must create an empty system model and publish the system model to the team space repository.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Ensured that you are assigned a role as an Architect in the team space, a Project Owner or a Tester in the project. See Managing members and their roles in a team space or Managing access to server projects.
Added a repository to the team space. See Adding a repository to a team space.

Procedure

Log in to Rational® Test Automation Server.
Open the team space to which a team space repository is added.

The Active projects page is displayed.
Select an option to create a system model based on your role in the team space or in a project in the team space:
- If you are a Team space owner or an Architect, go to Step 4.
- If you are not a Team space owner or an Architect but a project Owner or Tester, go to Step 5.
Perform the following steps, if you are a Team space owner or an Architect:
1. Click System Model on the left navigation pane.
  
  The System Model page is displayed.
2. Click the Add system model icon .
  
  An empty system model is created.
3. Go to Step 6.
Perform the following steps, if you are not a Team space owner or an Architect but a Project owner:
1. Open your project that is displayed under My projects on the Active projects page.
  
  The Overview page is displayed.
2. Click System Model on the left navigation pane.
  
  The System Model page is displayed.
3. Click the Add system model icon .
  
  An empty system model is created.
4. Go to Step 6.
Click the See unpublished commits icon , and then select the Publish changes option.

Note: If you do not want to commit the changes that you made to the system model, you can select the Discard changes option.
Enter a commit message in the Description of change field, and then click Publish.

The empty system model is committed and published to the team space repository. When the system model is published to the team space repository, other members of the team space can work with the same system model from any of their projects in the team space.

Results

You have created an empty system model and published it to the team space repository.

What to do next

You can perform any of the following tasks:

Create components in the system model. See Creating components.
