Hello JJ. Check out this thread for a discussion on the rationale for the Practice guidance kind: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?forum=1078&thread=140649&message=13887190&cat=24&q=practice#13887190
I think the Custom Category approach will work. In EPF Composer 1.2 you have now a check box called "publish this category with the categorized elements". When you tick these then your categories will appear on your work product pages. Check out the "What's New in EPFC 1.2" presentation recording on the EPF homepage for more details. Thanks and best regards, Peter Haumer. ______________________________________________________________ PETER HAUMER, Dr. rer. nat.

Within a practice, I can reference a role, so far so good, I can define a RACI practice, which contains Responsible, Accountable... practices. However, I cannot reference a practice from a Work Product Guidance. yet in the help file it says in the Guidance Relationships section (see table) that a practice can be referenced by a work product, task and role (which makes sense to me). In the text below it says: Practice has a relationship to these elements, not from them. Why is that? that does not make complete sense to me. Assuming this is logical, how come, I cannot associate a practice to any other guidance type (for instance: concept). I should be able to define a RACI concept (per work product) and then associate Practices elements that attaches roles to it. I also tried to use the custom category route which allows me to define a CC with my RACI practice. I can then go to work product and associate it with this CC. However, when I preview the work product it does not give me a link to the CC. I am out of luck. It looks to me that the relationship between work products and role is incomplete. thanks, JJ- On 9/25/07, Bruce Macisaac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi JJ, Currently the EPF metamodel is quite strict, although we've had discussions about allowing user extensions (like user-defined guidance types and role assignment types to support RACI). In the meantime you can put such information in a table, as described in the following Rational Edge article by Mark Lines http://www. ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/feb07/lines/index.html?S_TACT=105AGX15&S_CMP=EDU Another workaround (credit to Margaret Hedstrom for this idea) - you could create a plug-in that has a contributing work product for every work product in your library, and add the RACI information as text to the "key considerations" field. For example, if for the Vision work product you want Architect and Stakeholder roles to be consulted, and Tester and Developer to be informed, then you could add the following text to a contributing Vision work product.

I can't find a place to associate our RACI roles to a work product (responsible, accountable, consulted and informed). I found a way to associate a role to a work product via a responsible association. Is there anyways I could expand EPF's metamodel to add an accountable, consulted and informed category in the role's work product tab? thanks, JJ-_______________________________________________ epf-dev mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/epf-dev _______________________________________________ epf-dev mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/epf-dev -- Jean-Jacques Dubray 425-445-4467 _______________________________________________ epf-dev mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/epf-dev
