Describing the Sub-Projects of an AD Project
An AD project can be split into a number of sub-projects.
You can also describe the dependency link between the different sub-projects.
Prerequisite
You must first define a work environment for a project in progress. See "The Current Design Project pane", page 21.
Accessing the Breakdown of a Project into Sub-Projects
To access the list of sub-projects of an AD project:
1. Open the Sub-projects properties page of the projet that interests you.
2. Expand the Sub-project section.
The list of sub-projects of the highest level appears.
The Sub-projects properties page of a project is used to access the list of sub-projects of the project described.Connecting a Sub-Project to the Current Project
The projects are created by an Application Design Functional Administrator or by an Application Designer.
For more details on these profiles, see "The functional administrator for application design", page 3 and "The application designer", page 3.For more details on project creation with HOPEX Application Design, see Creating an Application Design Project.Connecting an existing project to the current project:
1. In the Current Design Project > Current Project Definition pane, click Sub-projects.
The list of sub-projects of the highest level connected to the project appears.
2. In the Sub-projects section, click Connect.
A window for connecting an AE project appears.
3. Find and select the project that interests you and click Connect.
The project appears in the list of sub-projects of the project described.
To access the hierarchy of projects in the Current Design Project > Current Project Definition pane, click Hierarchy of Current Projects and expand the Sub-project folder of the projects that appear in the tree.Displaying the Properties of the Current Project
You can specify the list of projects on which the current project depends. For each of these projects, you can also specify which result of the current project is impacted by this dependency.
Creating a project dependency
To specify that the current project depends on another project:
1. In the Current Design Project > Current Project Definition pane, click Sub-projects.
The list of sub-projects of the highest level connected to the project appears.
2. In the Project Dependencies section, click New.
The creation window for the Project Dependency opens.
3. In the Project Expected field, find and select the project that interests you and click Add.
The project dependency is created.
Specifying the result of a project dependency
To specify the project deliverables impacted by a project dependency:
1. Open the Characteristics property pages of the dependency that interests you.
2. In the Deliverables Concerned section, click Connect.
The connection window for the Project Result opens.
3. Select the project result that interests you and click Connect.
The result appears in the list of deliverables concerned.
Specifying the requirements of a project dependency
A requirement is a need or expectation explicitly expressed, imposed as a constraint to be respected within the context of a project. This project can be a certification project or an organizational project or an information system project.For more details on the requirements of a project specification, see "Creating Projects", page 31.To specify the project requirements imposed by a project dependency:
1. Open the Objectives and Requirements property pages of the dependency that interests you.
2. In the Requirements Imposed folder and click Connect.
A Requirement connection window opens.
3. Select the requirement that interests you and click Connection.
The requirement appears in the list of requirements imposed.
