Importing Rational Software Architect EMX

Rational Software Architect (RSA) is a modeling and development environment, which leverages UML for architectural design for C++ and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (Java2EE) applications and web services. Import of the RSA file, i.e. the .emx file, is supported in Visual Paradigm, so that users can simply migrate the work from RSA to Visual Paradigm and also perform further modeling on the imported models in Visual Paradigm.

1. Save your work in Rational.
