Patch 6.5.1 - 05/11/02

Improvements

  • [Intranet documentation] New options are now available to adjuste the diagrams size displaying ; XSL modification.   More information  ...

  • [Class diagrams] In the OLM, "Private" visibility is now affected by default to the columns as they are created.

  • [Memory optimization] If the target of an object was a diagram belonging to a model that was not included int the workspace, important memory lost occured. 

  • [Memory optimization] Memory optimization of the profile ressources.

  • [Profile] A backup file is now automatically created when a profile is modified.

  • [Profile] When a stereotype is added, the parent stereotype by default is the same than the selected stereotype.

  • [Progress scripts] Improvement of the alphanumeric fields generation with the SQL-WIDTH option.

  • [Update scripts] The comments of the objects are no longer automatically generated. They follow the options specified for the scripts generation.

  • [Script generation] [DBMS generation] The foreign keys that are not implemented are no longer generated in the update scripts.

  • [Rtf documentation] In every reports, the "Linked to a free object" level returned the list of the free objects only, that are linked to the current object (previous management of the links with the free objects). From now on, this list contains all the objects (of any type) linked by the free link to the current object.
    The form supporting this level has been modified. The (*OBJET.NOM*) characteristic returns the name of the linked object. The (*PATTE.ROLE*) characteristic returns the description of the role of the current object played in the free link.

  • [Target object] When a free object with a target to another object is created, the icon of this free object is now in accordance with the type of object selected as target.

  • [Target object] The target object (link providing the ability to access an object) is used in two cases : either from a free object or from the free link for the linked objects. The list displaying the objects and the types is now in accordance with the meta model (the new types of objects are now taken into account).

  • [Script generation] An option has been added for the DBMS script generation to dissociate the creation of the tablespace/storage as they are assigned to the objects. It is now possible to generate a DBMS script without tablespaces creation, but with their affectation to the tables / index / constraint.

  • ["Insert image" function] The "Insert image" function worked only with wmf files. From now on, every types of image files (gif, bmp, ...) can be inserted.

  • [Query] When a criterion is created on NOM_STEREOTYPE, the list of the actual stereotypes is now available in the values.

  • [Query] When a query with parameters is executed, the possible values are displayed in the pulling list.

  • [Business Process module] A check box has been added in the wizard for decomposition, to disable the generation of the context (flows, ...). 

Corrections

  • [DTD] The DTD provided in the version 6.5 did not take into account the characteristics of the arrows of flows and generalizations.

  • [Dictionary] A fatal error sometimes occured in the dictionary at the closing of a diagram, if this diagram has not been previously saved.

  • [Dictionary] The updating of the icons in the dictionary did not work properly as the profile was modified.

  • [Creating a new model] A crash occured if the "New diagram" dialog validation was done with the "Enter" key.

  • [Creating a new model] If the profile file was not found, on R:\, Win'Design for example, Win'Design crashed as a new diagram was created.

  • [Palettes display] As the "Display my palettes" option was selected in the palettes pop up menu, and if no palette has been previously defined, a crash occured.

  • [Queries] A failure occured at the execution of a query on the activity.

  • [Table Copy/Paste] The user type was not the right one in the following sequence :

1. Creation of a new model, with a table and a column with a user type. 
2. Creation of a new model
3. Creation of another user type in this new model
4. Pasting the table 2 x

  • [Progress scripts] The problem concerning selection in the Progress scripts generation has been corrected.

  • [Icons printing] Sometimes, according to the printer type, the icons were not correctly printed.

  • [Pop up menu of the objects] The « Associated free objets » function of the pop up menu has been suppressed.

  • [Intranet documentation]  A failure occured when several users were simultaneously connected to generate the intranet documentation, as the locking was not working properly.

  • [Associated icons] When icons have been associated to the objects in the profile and if these icons were no longer physically accessible (if a file has been moved for instance), the icons disappeared in the profile.

  • [Updating scripts] The adding of columns in a same table is now done in the right order in the updating scripts, for DBSM having the ALTER ADD COLUM instruction as Oracle 9i.

  • [Dictionary] The "free objet creation" function is available again in the pop up menu of the dictionary. The free object is automatically created with the object selected in the dictionary as target.

  • [WMF export] The wmf export of the diagram image was not always working properly.

  • [Profile] When an object was added in the palette, the object preview was not displayed.

  • [Query] The execution was not working properly if the last criterion or last link was suppressed.
