Product notes

Changes simulation configuration options so that you can extend the working duration for tasks until the last resource assigned to each task is done

Once you have specified the time required for resources and assigned the resources to tasks, a simulation waits for the required resources to be available before it calculates the working duration for a task. You can now specify that the working duration for a task ends only when the last resource assigned to the task is done. The default behavior is for the working duration to equal the time allotted for a task.

To change your simulation configuration preferences to extend the working duration for tasks until the last resource assigned to each task is done, complete the following steps:

Click Window > Preferences, and then click Business Modeling > Simulation > General.
For the "Wait for resources' required time to end before completing a task" radio buttons, click Yes.
Click OK.

Provides configuration options for the dynamic analysis of a process model with a large number of nested processes and possible cases that help prevent out-of-memory errors

If you have a process model with a large number of nested processes and possible cases, identifying the static cases might cause WebSphere Business Modeler to hang or run out of memory. Updates to the business modeling preferences give you options for analyzing a process model that has a large number of possible cases without generating these problems.

Navigate to the business modeling preferences for dynamic analysis by clicking Window > Preferences, and then clicking Business Modeling > Dynamic Analysis.

To limit the scope of a dynamic analysis, you can clear the Match process case names between Static and Dynamic Analysis check box. Making this configuration change means that no computation of the static paths occurs at path generation time. If you leave the check box selected, all possible paths, including subprocesses, are computed.
To cap the number of static cases identified and matched during profile analysis, you can type a limit in the Maximum number of paths to analyze for selected process field. Try starting with a maximum value of 32000. For very large models, limiting the number of paths analyzed could mean that not all of the highest-probability paths are analyzed.

Update to the help documentation: Installation location for WebSphere Business Modeler as a set of Eclipse plug-ins with WebSphere Integration Developer must be the ...\rwd\eclipse directory

Problem history:

The V6.0.1 installation instructions recommend that you create a new folder to hold the WebSphere Integration Developer features. This statement refers to the WebSphere Business Modeler features that you are installing into WebSphere Integration Developer. The release notes state that this recommendation be taken as mandatory. The creation of a new folder has been found to cause configuration issues that stop WebSphere Business Modeler from functioning properly. In particular, a new folder causes the Modeler perspective and functionality to become inaccessible.
The Interim Fix 3 readme states that creating a new folder is no longer recommended and that you accept whichever folder is presented to you as the default installation location. Unless the default installation location is the ...\rwd\eclipse directory, the installation causes a WebSphere Business Modeler configuration error that the com.ibm.com.etools.xmlutility_5.1.0 plug-in is missing.

Fix: When you install WebSphere Business Modeler as a set of Eclipse plug-ins with WebSphere Integration Developer, you must specify the ...\rwd\eclipse directory as the location for your installation.

If you have installed WebSphere Business Modeler in its own folder, you can correct the configuration by completing the following steps:

Click Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration. The Product Configuration window opens.
In the left navigation pane, select the the root element of the tree. In WebSphere Integration Developer, for example, this element is labeled "WebSphere Integration Developer".
In the right pane, click Add an Extension Location. The Browse for Folder window opens.
Specify the ...\rwd\eclipse directory inside the folder that you created for the WebSphere Business Modeler feature, and click OK.
Restart WebSphere Integration Developer or the Rational product with which you have installed WebSphere Business Modeler.

Action must be taken before the fix for layout deficiencies in complex process diagrams can take effect

To make the interim fix changes take effect, complete the following steps:

Collapse all the diagrams that have already been expanded.
Save the diagrams.
Expand the diagrams again.
