Features of IBM Rational Publishing Engine
Meets complex style and format requirements
Planning organizations must produce documentation from their systems and software engineering data that meets complex style and format requirements. These requirements might be imposed by clients, business partners, government or industry regulatory bodies; for example: engineering or contract documents, audits, compliance or stakeholder requirements. IBM Rational Publishing Engine automates the generation of these types of high-fidelity documents from the data in your IBM Rational suite and other products.
Uses templates to get started quicker
Predefined templates and guided tours help you quickly get started. You can design the content and format of your documents with a full suite of tools for creating and editing templates. Template tools are intuitive with features such as drag-and-drop and preview capabilities.
Creates elegant, easy-to-read, multi-source documents
With IBM Rational Publishing Engine, you get a document generation application that can help you create elegant, easy-to-read, multi-source documents. You can run the document generation manually or in batch mode for unattended use. This software enables you to spend less time on manual document creation and tasks associated with keeping documents current so you can focus more on your primary business objectives.
Accesses data from third-party applications via XML and REST
IBM Rational Publishing Engine can report upon data from IBM Rational products. Software Product Compatibility Reports provides the full list of Rational product data sources. It can also access data from third-party applications via XML and REST interfaces. You can generate reports from within supported applications or generate them directly from IBM Rational Publishing Engine.
Supports requirements traceability for documentation
IBM Rational Publishing Engine provides requirements traceability to help you document the relationships between various entities (such as requirements or test cases) throughout the document lifecycle and determine how they impact each other. This allows you to trace the data, assess risk, perform impact and work breakdown analysis, and track and manage the process.

IBM renamed the IBM RPE - IBM Rational Publishing Engine
IBM is renaming IBM Continuous Engineering to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management and renaming the family of products in this portfolio. IBM recognizes that product development is getting more complex with shrinking product lifecycles, more technical savvy and demanding customers, and growing compliance and regulatory requirements; and IBM wants to make sure our product naming does not compound this complexity. IBM wants customers to be able to easily identify a products’ function by its name.
IBM wants to ensure that our existing customers recognize our focus/investment, and that the marketplace in general and new customers in particular can easily identify which of our products cover major development disciplines – requirements, test, etc
Listing of the major product renaming:
- IBM Collaboration Lifecycle Management (CLM) renamed to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM)
- IBM Rational DOORS renamed to IBM Engineering Requirements DOORS Management DOORS Family
- IBM Rational DOORS NG renamed to IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next
- IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) renamed to IBM Engineering Workflow Management (ETM)
- IBM Rational Quality Manager (RQM) renamed to IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM)
- IBM Rational Rhapsody renamed to IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody
- Rational Rhapsody Model Manager renamed to IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody – Model Manager
- Rational Method Composer (RMC) renamed to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Method Composer (MEC)
- IBM Rational Publishing Engine (RPE) renamed to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Publishing (PUB)
- IBM Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager (RELM) renamed to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Engineering Insights (ENI)
