IBM® Rational® Software Modeler 6.0.1.1 provides new functionality in the following categories and components:
Performance improvements
- Model query performance is improved, providing as much as a 50% faster model query returns.
- The memory management for the architectural discovery feature is significantly improved, providing increased performance when you work with complex model files.
- The memory management for the diagram editor is improved, providing increased performance when you work with model files.
- In previous versions of the product, when you used complex model files, adding attributes or ports to a diagram element might take an extended period of time. The time required to complete these tasks for complex model files is significantly reduced.
- In previous versions of the product, when you used complex model files, adding, renaming, or removing a package might take an extended period of time. The time required to complete these tasks for complex model files is significantly reduced.
- In previous versions of the product, a generic Eclipse resource change listener was used to receive all types of resource change events. A new listener has been implemented to only listen to post-change resource events. As a result, the product no longer attempts to process build notices and pre-change events, and provides increased performance in various standard development and team development scenarios.
- In previous versions of the product, when you worked with large numbers of elements in class diagrams, the pop-up menu might take an extended period of time to display. The time required to complete this task for complex model files is significantly reduced.
- In previous versions of the product, when you worked with complex model files, scrolling through a large diagram using the Outline view might result in a slow response from the product and a CPU utilization of 100%. The time required to complete this task for complex model files is significantly reduced.
OCL improvements in UML modeling
- You can now add OCL pre-conditions, post-conditions, and body conditions to operations.
- You can now parse operation constraints. Also, you can now take advantage of the content assist functionality when you work with operation constraints.
- In this version of the product, when you validate an OCL constraint, the validation checks operation constraints.
- This version of the product includes support for the OCL parser finding enumeration literals and nested classifiers.
- This version of the product includes rename re-factoring support for the following model elements:
Note: Re-factoring support only applies to the models that are open in your workspace.
- Classifiers
- Enumeration literals
- Operations
- Packages (as they pertain to qualified names)
- Parameters
- Properties
Team environment
- You can now ensure that all model element UUID values are unique.
- You can now assign a new UUID to an unreferenced model element.
This fix pack includes Rational Software Modeler 6.0.1 and the following interim fixes:
- (PK10974, PK10976) An error occurs when you compare and merge three model file versions by using Compare with each other option.
- (PK14275) An index-out-of-bounds error occurs when you compare and merge model files.
- (PK15320) Error occurs after merge of models.
- (PK11004) The compare and merge operations might not function properly after you perform a cut-and-paste refactoring to duplicate model content.
- (PK12102) An error occurs when you print a diagram or preview a print operation for a diagram that is from a previously created workspace.
- (PK14841) An error occurs during validation.
- (PK02927) An error occurs in an OCL expression if a named classifier or feature in the user model contains any characters beyond the basic ASCII character set.
- (PK03169) An error occurs when you process multi-line OCL expressions.
- (PK07166) An error occurs when you attempt to use the oclAsType() operation to construct valid OCL expressions.
- (PK07772) An error occurs when you attempt to evaluate the allInstances() OCL operation on a UML metaclass. The evaluation does not return a result.
- (PK09674) The basic view types, such as Note and Text, are only exposed by an internal interface.
- (PK11514) The architectural discovery feature does not efficiently use the computer’s memory when it runs the Singleton and Inheritance pattern rules.
- (PK13418) Methods are missing from the IImportDataModel interface.
(PK13332) When you publish a diagram that contains two class instances that are connected by a link instance, the model might not publish properly.
- (PK02588) An error occurs when you drag a reflexive association class onto a diagram, in which two copies of the class are displayed.
- (PK09305) Performance degradation might occur when you scroll through a large diagram. In some scenarios, the CPU utilization is 100%.
- (PK10670) Association classes are not properly instantiated.
- (PK10846) You cannot allow items in an activity diagram to display icons when you use the Stereotype Shape Image mode.
- (PK11448) When you open a diagram, the following error might be displayed and the diagram does not open: "Unable to create part"
- (PK12931) If you create a class that implements an interface, that class inherits all the interface methods. If you then create a subclass of that class, the interface methods are no longer available.
- (PK12973) When you change the type of the data store to a signal, the element on the diagram has two slashes on each side.
- (PK13849) Associations from the AsociationClass class are not selected when you click Ctrl+A.
- (PK13991) When you add a UML association between two Java classes, model corruption might occur.
- (PK15533) When using a large project (60 MB), modeling actions like adding an attribute or adding a port takes a very long time (40 seconds).
For information about installing IBM Rational Software Modeler Fix Pack 6.0.1.1, installation prerequisites, installing from a command line, and setting up a local mirror of the update server, see the installation instructions at http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rsm/60/install_instruction/6011/install.html.
No additional hardware requirements are necessary to install this fix pack.
You can install this fix pack for use with IBM Rational Software Modeler 6.0, 6.0.0.1, or 6.0.1. Before you install the fix pack, you must install IBM Rational Product Updater 6.0.1.
Note that in addition to the operating systems listed in the Version 6.0 Installation Guide, the following operating systems are supported if you install this fix pack:
- Windows® Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 1
- Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 1
If you use local updates and have more than one product installed, you must download the 6.0.1.1 fix packs for all installed products to your local update site. This is because there are dependencies among them. If you have multiple products installed and download only one fix pack and run the Rational Product Updater, the Updater will give you a warning when you search for updates that one of the required updates is missing. Again, this situation only applies to customers who use local update sites.
To simultaneously install the fix packs, download them to your local update site. Then install all fix packs at the same time from the update site by using the Rational Product Updater.
An error might occur when you compare and merge model file versions. The following error message is displayed if you encounter this problem: "EMF error occurred while merging resources."
To work around this problem, run validation on the model file versions to ensure that there are no unreferenceable elements; then compare and merge the model file versions again.
