Installing and migrating

Before you can design or develop an application with Rational® Systems Developer, you must install and configure the tool. You might also need to migrate or import any existing data that you created with other tools.

For information about product installation, system requirements, limitations, and optional features, read the installation guide and release notes.

If you have models that you created with a previous version of the Rational modeling tools, you can import your data for continued development on the Rational Software Development Platform (RSDP) using special import features. If you have Java™ or C++ application code that was created with other software development tools, you can import the software files using the Eclipse import capabilities available in the RSDP environment.

Important: To import Rational Rose® models or Rational XDE™ models, you must first download and install the Rose import feature or XDE import feature by using the Rational Product Updater. You can then use the tutorials, samples, and help topics to get started.
