Hi all,

I have reversed engineered quite of bit of code and was trying to execute this code using the animation capabilities of Rhapsody. I am quickly finding out that Rhapsody can NOT create sequences without a state machine model to go along with the code. Is this the case? I remember this tool use to be called State Mate so is that the problem?....

yes you can get animated sequece diagrams withouth statecharts ... are you able to compile and your application ?

Thanks for the quick response. I get an expands to nothing error code when compiling. I am using vs 2003.net as the external compiler. When i compile the project in .net only, it compiles correctly. When I try to compile from within Rhapsody, I get that "...expands to nothing" error. A little background, each package contains a set of classes with implementation code in each package that performs a specific job. I created in each package, a sequence diagram consisting of the classes in each package and a structure diagram of all classes in the package which when you create the diagram, shows the dependencies. I then created a configuration component for each package in order to execute just the code I want executed for that function or behavior. For example, onboard an aircraft, i have multiple subsystems that can give me detailed status of each subsystem. If I ask for detailed status for the GPS/INS, I expect to only run that particular package component and all of its dependent classes. When I execute this package in debug mode, i would like to see the messages step through the classes and all objects associated with this class run to completion. I would appreciate any background on how to achieve this. I am attacking this from two directions. One is debug from .net and talk to the Rhapsody API and enter the animation mode calling up the particular sequence diagram. I don't know how to send the message from one swim lane of the diagram to the other swimlane (sorry for calling it a swimlane). The other is use the OXF within Rhapsody just as I mentioned above. Thanks for the reply !!
