Purpose

This tool mentor describes how to use Rational SoDA to create a Business Object Model Survey. SoDA automates the generation of the report so that it is created quickly and accurately. You can generate a Business Object Model Survey with either the Microsoft Word or Adobe FrameMaker version of SoDA. This works only if the Rational Rose model follows the structure and naming convention for the Business Object Model.
