INSTALLING RHAPSODY DESIGNER FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERS 2

Obtaining and downloading
• You can download the installer from Rhapsody from IBM’s download trial
page (easily found in a google search of ‘download rational rhapsody’):
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/r/rhapsodydeveloper/in
dex.html
• All the Rhapsody editions share the same installer. To download requires you
to create an IBM ID/password but this is easy to do

• Choose to
download the
8.3.1 client
•
• If you’re doing a set-up for
Rhapsody software or systems
training then talk to your delivery
partner about version to choose
Decide which version to download

Obtaining and downloading
• On the next page select marketing preferences and click I Confirm
(presuming that you do)
• You can download either
using a Java-
based Download
Director or via http

Download Rhapsody installer .zip and evaluation key
• Download the installer .zip (for V8.3.1) and the Rhapsody_Eval_Key.dat (so
you can test the installation)
• E.g. Using http download option, click on I agree to start download

Editions vs. Versions
• IBM® Rational Rhapsody® is packaged (i.e. sold) as 4 Editions. Each edition uses a
different core Rhapsody license:
• Developer for C/C++/Java (or Ada or C/C++/Java/Ada)
◦ A Premium Edition for software and systems. Includes full behavioral and State Machine
(and other) code generation and a real-time framework (OxF) for deployment of code to
Real-time Operating Systems. License package includes Jazz-server back-end, Design
Manager (/dm) or Model Manager (/am) usage
◦ There are C/C++/Java, Ada only, and C/C++/Java/Ada Developer Edition packages.
• Architect for Software Engineers
◦ A lower cost Software Edition. A stripped down version of Developer, code-centric.
Some code generation but no real-time framework or state machines/RTOS support.
• Designer for Systems Engineers
◦ A Premium Edition for systems engineering. Uses a subset of Developer features, i.e.
you can execute models but only for animation purposes. License package includes Jazz-
server back-end, Design Manager (/dm) or Model Manager (/am) usage
• Architect for Systems Engineers
◦ A lower cost Edition. Doesn’t have any model execution, i.e. it’s just the modelling tool
without any system simulation or code generation capabilities.

Things to know
• Things to know:
1. All Rhapsody Editions use the same installer to install.
2. All Rhapsody Editions use the same underlying file format.
3. They are the same tool with different features turned on and off.
4. The choice of Edition launched is based on a command-line option given to
the rhapsody.exe.
5. The rhapsody.ini file in the installation direction specifies the Default Edition
to launch when you click to open a Rhapsody model on the file-system.
6. If you install Developer then shortcuts to the other Editions are also installed
(in the Start menu).
7. Rhapsody will try and consume the license for the Edition launched. If it can’t
then it won’t open.
8. The SysML profile is not separately licensed. All Editions have the SysML
profile and could be used for systems engineering.

Installing Developer
• For the reasons given on the previous page, the steps here install Developer and
then give instructions on how to modify the installation. This means that the
installation will have maximum flexibility and can be switched around between
Editions (assuming licenses are available and necessary permissions).
• Selecting Developer Edition in the installer also makes it easier to verify compiler
toolchain during the install. This is used for system simulation.
• Often a goal for a company may be to reduce the cost of licenses. Different
strategies may be deployed for this. For example, installing the low cost Architect
for Systems Engineers version for most users, and providing instructions on how
to launch Designer shortcut from Start menu for those that need it. Some
organizations will simply deploy the same Edition to all machines to make it
simpler. For large organizations they may have a token license pool. The token
pool would need to include the particular editions for them to be usable from
the pool.
• Further advice should be sort when wanting to mix opening the same project
with different software language editions, e.g. using Developer in C with
Designer, as Designer will assume models are C++ under the hood, or assume
Animation settings.

64 vs 32 bit
• Rhapsody has both a 64 bit and 32 bit versions. Don’t be blasé about
thinking that it is better to install the 64 bit, as some integrations will not
work (those that require 32 bit DLLs). For this reason, it may be
recommended to install the 32 bit version until such a time that you have
asserted that you don’t need these third party 32 bit integrations.
See: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27038779
• P.s. The 64 bit version is not available via evaluation link, hence you need to
get it via IBM passport advantage / customer download.

System requirements for Rhapsody
• Up-to-date system requirements reports can be dynamically generated using
IBM’s Software Product Compatibility Reports (SPCR) tool:
• https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/softwareReqsF
orProduct.html

Things to be installed
• These instructions provide guidance on installing Rhapsody Designer for
Systems Engineers Edition (32 bit) with:
◦ Simulation support for animating and executing systems models using the Cygwin
gcc compiler toolchain (to support system simulation).
◦ Also installed are a number of key Add-Ons. In particular the Gateway Add On
which provides synchronization of requirements with Rational DOORS, Word and
Excel documents.
◦ Use of an open-source SysMLHelper add-in that shows ability to extend Rhapsody
using Profiles and/or a Java API. This is used to varying degrees in training provided
by MBSE Training and Consulting Ltd, hence this needs to be installed for training
• Rhapsody is usually released every 6 months. The Rhapsody version assumed
here is 8.3.1 (released 15 Jun 2018) with iFix 001.
• Cygwin gcc is a set of Open Source tools. It is not provided by IBM or part of
the IBM toolset, rather it is one of the compilers that Rhapsody supports.
Microsoft Visual Studio is also supported. Cygwin delivers the open source
standard Red Hat GNU gcc compiler and gdb debugger on Windows.

Further help on installation
• You should not need this as steps are provided but for the record:
• Rhapsody 8.3.1:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB2MU_8.3.1/com.ibm.r
hp.installing.doc/topics/rhp_c_iu_rational_rhp_installation.html
• As an aside: If you want to try Rhapsody in Ada then install your Ada
compiler first. The GNAT GPL compiler can be downloaded from:
https://www.adacore.com/download

Installing more than one version at the same time
• E.g. 8.3.1 and 8.3
• This has been done by Rhapsody techies for years, for demo and testing
purposes. However, there are some caveats and generally it is bad idea if
user does not have admin rights. Main issues are with add-ons, and require
the user to switch .dlls by running a command line command as
administrator (rhapsody.exe /RegServer). See:
• http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21967746
• Importantly, the main issue you will face is with add-ons that use the API,
including Java. They may not work at all or may work with unexpected results
because they are calling the wrong Java API
• As such, it is recommended to uninstall the previous version before
installing the later version

iFixes
• iFixes are patches to GA releases. A carefully formed google search will
usually help you find IBMs Fix Central website. If you are forming a
deployable package (particularly with a Jazz server back-end), then consider
these in your package

Installing Rhapsody
RUNNING THE INSTALLATION WIZARD

Extract the files
• The Rhapsody installer is packaged as a compressed file. Unzip the file to a
local folder by right-clicking and choose Extract All… and then Extract on the
dialog that launches
• Rhapsody_eval_8.3.1_Windows_32.zip

• Right-click the setup.exe file and choose Run as administrator (this can help
avoid issues with permissions)
• Choose language,
e.g. English (United States)
and click OK
Run setup.exe (as administrator)

Welcome to the wizard
• Click Next >

Software license agreement
• Assuming you do, click I accept the terms in the license agreement
• Click Next >

Choose Edition
• Ensure IBM Rational Rhapsody Developer is selected (even if you’re going to
use one of the other Editions – this will install all the Editions in the Start
menu)
• Click Next >

Choose languages
• Select C++ and C (the assumption is that we are installing for systems
engineering purposes only (C++) but since the Cygwin compiler includes C we
may as well check the box)
• Choose Development environment and RTOS setting and click Next >

Destination Folder
• A number of options are now possible that may choose depending on your
admin rights and Windows User Access Control (UAC). Fundamentally,
Rhapsody will need to install some installation folders in an area that has
read-write access (this is important)
Rhapsody can’t be
installed in a single
location under
“Program Files” due to
system restrictions

Installation choices
• Either, 1. Install for single user, not in one location (default)
• Or 2: Install for all users, and Program Files
• Or 3: Install in one location
The read-only area goes into
Program Files (x86) and read-
write area goes into
C:/Users/<username>
The read-only area goes into
Program Files (x86) and read-
write area goes into
C:/ProgramData/
The read-only and read-write
areas goes into same folder
but folder cannot be in
Program Files, e.g.,
C:/Rhapsody831/

Destination folder
• Click Next > based on the decision previously. If this is a personal machine
not used by anyone else then stick with the default, option 1 (it will be
easier).
If you’re packaging Rhapsody
and the IT policy is to install
for all users, option 2, then
further steps may be
required to get windows to
show the C:/ProgramData
folder and make the IBM
subfolder writable to users
(see later slides)

Silent installation options
• Information on silently installing Rhapsody is in the on-line Help:
• https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSB2MU_8.3.1/com.ib
m.rhp.installing.doc/topics/rhp_c_iu_silent_sw_installation.html
• You can use "ALLUSERSINSTALL=1" to install read-write part in ProgramData
and read-only part in Program Files (this isn’t documented in the Help)

Development environment paths
• Rhapsody will now check your registry to see what compilers are installed.
• Click Next >

Development environment paths
• Rhapsody should’ve automatically found the C:cygwin compiler folder and
marked it with a green tick (if not, you may have a problem)
• Click Next >

Add-on installation
• A number of add-ons we need are not installed by default. Choose to install
all add-ons by right-clicking on the root
• For example, click This feature, and all subfolders, will be installed on the
local machine

Add on choices
• Choose to select the following Add-ons (and deselect the others).
In the screenshot on the left
I’ve chosen to install Rhapsody
Model Manager (new in Jazz
6.0.5) client extension but not
the Design Manager client
extension (as I will deploy the
new /am not /dm Jazz server)
nor Visual Studio Workflow
integration (as I don’t have VS)

Notes on Add Ons
• Important: Some of these add-on products require separately purchased
licenses. In case you’re interested:
• Rational Rhapsody Gateway Add On - Requirements Traceability connects
Rational Rhapsody to IBM Rational DOORS®, IBM Rational RequisitePro®, and
other requirements authoring tools provided by other vendors for
requirements traceability throughout the lifetime of a project, and to
navigate online between the design and the requirements. Basic export to
Rational DOORS and Rational RequisitePro is included in base products.
Advanced bidirectional Rational DOORS and Rational RequisitePro
synchronization, impact analysis, coverage analysis, and integration with
other authoring tools is included with the IBM Rational Rhapsody Tools and
Utilities Add On.
• Rational Rhapsody XMI Toolkit - XML Metadata Interchange imports and
exports model information to or from other tools and is part of the Rational
Rhapsody Tools and Utilities Add On.
• Systems Engineering Add On provides functions to assist in the development
of SysML and Harmony profile projects.

Notes on Add Ons
• Rational Rhapsody TestConductor Add On provides model-driven testing to
automate testing tasks; defines tests with code and graphically with
sequence diagrams, statecharts, activity diagrams, and flowcharts; and runs
the tests interactively or in batch mode.
• Rational Rhapsody Automatic Test Generation Add On is the engine in the
Rational Rhapsody Testing Environment that verifies the functionality of the
system. It uses the UML model information and the generated source code
as the basis for analysis and to create executable test cases.
• Automotive, AUTOSAR system authoring and behavioral design and
AutomotiveC profile provides support for development of applications
including behavior for AUTOSAR with Rational Rhapsody Developer for C and
includes the AutomotiveC, AUTOSAR, and FixedPoint profiles.
• Automotive, AUTOSAR system authoring includes the AUTOSAR profiles for
designing AUTOSAR with Rational Rhapsody Architect for Software in the C
and C++ languages, and Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers
and Rational Rhapsody Designer for Systems Engineers.

Specify license path
• If you already have DOORS installed and are using the same FlexLM server to
host Rhapsody then select I will supply license information later (as you will
already have the TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE variable set-up with the server
name)
• If this is a fresh install on stand-alone machine then you may need to use the
evaluation license to test the install so browse to this file instead. Click Next
> when ready

Ready to install the program
• De-select create desktop shortcut. We don’t want this as we want to launch
Designer Edition rather than Developer by default (or accident). Click Install

InstallShield Wizard completed
• Installation will commence and complete (circa 5 mins). Wait for the
installation to complete
• Click Finish when done (alas, we are not yet finished!)

Troubleshooting
• Note: Failure to install correctly, e.g. dll’s not being registered, may be the
result of failure to install all the necessary visual studio re-distributables:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-
visual-c-downloads. This can result in issues with Gateway and/or
reporterPlus: http://www-
01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21447281
In theory the installer should
detect this, and install the
necessary prerequisites if
you run the setup.exe.
However, in some cases it
may be necessary to
download and install
manually

Obtain and install iFix
THESE STEPS ARE IMPORTANT

Go to IBM Fix Central
• Locate the IBM Fix Central website

Search for Rational Rhapsody, 8.3.1 and Windows
• Search for Rational Rhapsody, 8.3.1 and Windows

Select 8.3.1-RAT-RHAPSODY-IFix1
• Check the box fir 8.3.1-RAT-RHAPSODY-IFix1 and click Continue

Sign in
• Sign in if not already signed in (or create an IBMid)

Download the Rhapsody83iFix001_x86.zip
• Click to download the Rhapsody831iFix001_x86.zip and the Readme.html

Run the Rhapsody83iFix_x86.exe
• Unzip and with Rhapsody closed run the Rhapsody83iFix_x86.exe as
administrator

Install and finish
• Wait for it to complete and then Finish

Unzip the replacement RhapsodyRoot.zip
• To finish the iFix installation go to the C:Program Files
(x86)IBMRationalRhapsody8.3.1 folder
• Locate the RhapsodyRoot.zip and copy to a read-write location on your disk,
and unzip it
The RhapsodyRoot folder
contains a replacement
folder called RTCIntegration

Rename the existing RTCIntegration folder
• Rename the existing RTCIntegration folder in Program Files
(x86)IBMRationalRhapsody8.3.1 to oldRTCIntegration

Copy and paste the iFix version of RTCIntegration
• Copy the iFix version of this folder from the unzipped RhapsodyRoot folder
into the Program Files (x86)IBMRationalRhapsody8.3.1 location
You will need admin permissions to do this

Post installation changes
THESE STEPS ARE IMPORTANT

How to unhide ProgramData folder
• If you chose option 2, to Install
for All Users …
• … then the read-write
part will have been installed into
C:/ProgramData, which may be
hidden by Windows. You may need
to set the Windows the Folder
options to Show hidden files, folders
and drives

Giving read-write to the ProgramData folders used
• If you installed for All users (option 2) and you are not an Administrator for
your machine then you will need to talk to your IT department to give you
Full control, of the C:ProgramDataIBMRationalRhapsody contents
• You don’t need to do this if you installed with the default installation location

Locate the rhapsody.ini file
• With Rhapsody closed, locate the rhapsody.ini file in the Rhapsody
installation folder
• If you installed with default location then this will be in
C:/Users/<username>/IBM/Rational/Rhapsody/8.3.1
• If you installed for all users then this will be in
C:/ProgramData/IBM/Rational/Rhapsody/8.3.1

Locate the rhapsody.ini file
• Click to Edit in Notepad
Be careful not to edit the
rhapsody.ini file while Rhapsody
is running and the rhapsody.exe
will try and write to it, and you
don’t want to corrupt it

Change the DefaultEdition
• In this instance it is assumed that the default edition for training is Designer
for Systems Engineers (which supports simulation). Locate the DefaultEdition
property and change it from Developer to SystemDesigner. The
DefaultEdition is the edition that is launched when you double-click on a
project (.rpyx) file in Windows, as opposed to opening a project from
Rhapsody
• If you want Rhapsody to create new projects in a particular folder, create the
folder and add a ProjectsDirectory= line to the [General] section:
• Exit Notepad and Save the changes to the .ini file

Test the default edition setting
• Browse to the users
IBMRationalRhapsody8.3.1SamplesSystemSamplesTollRoad folder
in the read-write part of the install. Double-click the TollRoad.rpy file to
open Rhapsody
• Click No when asked if you
want to upgrade unit format

Test the default edition setting
• The project will open. Verify from the title bar that Designer for Systems
Engineers launches as the default edition (not Developer)

Test launching the Gateway
• Return to the Rhapsody project, right-click in the browser and choose
Rational Rhapsody Gateway > Open

IBM Rational Rhapsody Gateway launches
• The Rhapsody Gateway user interface should launch. This is a good test that
it is installed and licensed (it is part of the Tools & Utilities Add On)
• Select File > Exit to close it (or click the X in top right to close the Window)

Open the Features for the DefaultConfig
• Return to the Rhapsody TollRoad project and expand the Component
category to locate the DefaultConfig configuration nested under the
DefaultComponent
• Right-click the DefaultConfig and choose Features
• Click on the Settings tab

Change the Environment setting to Cygwin
• Scroll down to the locate the Environment setting. Change the setting from
MVSC to Cygwin
• Click OK
• Locate the simulation tools menu bar. Click the Smart Build icon to invoke
the compiler and start the build

Create a new folder
• Click Yes when asked whether to create a folder for the build
• The build should start (you may get warnings about animation library that
are raised by the linker)

Verify animation toolbar appears
• A console window should appear (don’t close it). Return to Rhapsody and an
animation toolbar will have appeared. This indicates the installation is good
to go
• Click the red Stop button in the Animation toolbar to close the simulation.
The console window should disappear

Duplicate section warnings from compiler
• Removing ‘duplicate section’ warnings
• When the application builds Rhapsody will link with a library installed. This
will work but if there is a mismatch between the compiler used you may get
duplicate section linker warnings.

Create Execution Environment
• To remove the warnings you need to recompile the framework with your
installed Cygwin compiler version
• To do this choose Simulation > Create Execution Environment

Check that warnings are removed
• Wait for the environment to rebuild itself (this can take a while, 5-10 mins)

Verify linker warning are removed
• Choose Full Build to rebuild the TollRoad’s DefaultConfig configuration again
and verify Linker warnings are removed (in the Log pane of the Output
window)
• Click the red button in the Animation toolbar to close the simulation. The
console window should disappear
• Close Rhapsody (and Save the changes)

Browse to the Start menu
• Open a File Explorer and browse to the Start Menu for Rhapsody
• C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsIBM
RationalIBM Rational ToolsIBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.1
• A number of shortcuts are provided here

Create a desktop shortcut for Rhapsody DiffMerge
• For the useful shortcuts we’re going to create a copy on the Desktop and pin
to the taskbar to make them easy to launch
• Right-click Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge and choose Send to > Desktop
(create shortcut)

Create shortcut for Designer Edition
• Locate the Rhapsody shortcut in the 8.3.1 > Rational Rhapsody Designer for
Systems Engineers subfolder
• Right-click the Rhapsody shortcut (in the correct folder!) and choose Send to
> Desktop (create shortcut)

Rename shortcut
• Press [Window+D] to switch to the Desktop
• Rename the Rhapsody shortcut to Rhapsody Designer for Systems
Engineers 8.3.1 to make it clearer which edition this is launching (a similar
approach could be taken if you wanted to use Architect for Systems
Engineers)
• If desired, right-click and choose
Pin to Taskbar

Finally, test the shortcut
• Launch the shortcut your going to use (e.g. from taskbar) to ensure that the
Designer for Systems Engineers Edition is launched
• Phew, we’re done. Have a cup of tea ;-)
• Note: The shortcut for launching Designer ends rhapsody.exe" –
system_designer –lang=cpp
• The shortcut for launching Architect for Systems Engineers edition ends
rhapsody.exe" -system_architect -lang=cpp
