UML modeling - compare and merge

• New compare and merge delta filters

You can use predefined new delta filters to suppress a subset of deltas that you don't want to see in the Compare editor. The filter can also be created dynamically and customized. In addition, the deltas can be grouped and sorted. Delta filters, sorter, and grouper can be imported and exported from one workspace to another.

UML modeler

• When you perform a search using either the Find and Replace window or the Model Search page, you can limit the number of search results by defining a maximum number of matches. When you select the Limit number of matches to: check box, the search stops as soon as possible after hitting the specified number of results. This improves the search performance by preventing broad searches that can take a long time to complete.

• The following improvements were made to slot values functionality:
• Provided new functionality to add literals for uml primitive types: string, boolean, int, unlimited natural
• Provided new functionality for "deep delete" (i.e. delete the actual literal or instance in addition to removing it from the slot)
• Display the values in the value column instead of object IDs for instance spec's values and literals
• Prevent editing of "values" for enumerations and classifiers; for these elements, we display the name of the literal' or the name of the instance
• Prevent creation multiple slots when adding instances (making it out of sync with the attributes) -- just add the values into the same slot
• Handle the case when the attribute type is changed by displaying "Invalid value" when displaying the properties
• Addressed issues with using non-UML primitive types
• Create opaque expressions instead of strings for instance specification's values
• In the General properties page for a selected slot, display "Slot values: n" for multiplicity > 1
• Allow multi-line text editing of slot values for instance specifications
• Validate the supported UML literals: boolean (true, false), int, unlimited natural (special handling for * and -1)
• String UML literal can be nullified using cell editor by pressing X

• The Project Explorer view and Select Element dialog box now display the imported elements for element imports and package imports. You can browse and work with these imported elements (including models and packages) in the importing model. You can also browse shared resources. This permits you to view a collection of UML models in a hierarchical view. This broadens the options for model partitioning and team modeling strategies. Historically some users have found it unacceptable to adopt a partitioning strategy based upon the use of multiple "top-level" UML models, because they have a requirement to be able to see everything arranged in a logical hierarchy. Now a multiple-model partitioning approach can be considered in cases where that requirement exists.

• You can now add input and output gates to sequence diagrams. A gate is a connection point that relates a message outside an InteractionFragment with a message inside the InteractionFragment. Two types of gates are supported:
• Formal gates are used on interactions
• Actual gates are used on interaction uses

Using gates, you can split a large sequence diagram into smaller ones, draw messages between diagrams, and easily trace call and return message relationships from one diagram to another.

Transformation core

• In version 7.0.5 of Rational Software Developer and Rational Software Modeler, you can run transformations outside of an Eclipse session or workspace session by specifying the following syntax on a command line:

eclipse -data <workspace-path> -application com.ibm.xtools.transform.core.transformationRunner -transformConfigs "[-R]<transform-config-path1>,[-R]<transform-config-path2>,..."

However, this command might not produce the expected output if a transformation has user interface dependencies. If a transformation has user interface dependencies, you should use the following syntax:
eclipse -data <workspace-path> -application com.ibm.xtools.transform.core.workbenchTransformationRunner -transformConfigs "[-R]<transform-config-path1>,[-R]<transform-config-path2>,...\"

If the installation location or Shared Resources directory for Rational Systems Developer is in a directory in the path C:\Program Files\IBM\, you must run Rational Systems Developer as the administrator. To run as administrator, right-click the program shortcut and click Run as administrator.

On Windows Vista, the Program Files directory is usually virtualized in order to allow users who are not running as the administrator to have write access to this protected directory. However, the virtualization workaround is not compatible with Rational Systems Developer.

If you selected an installation location or Shared Resources directory in the path C:\Program Files\IBM\ and you do not want to require running Rational Systems Developer as administrator, complete one of the following steps:

• If you selected an installation location in a directory in the path C:\Program Files\IBM\, reinstall Rational Systems Developer (and any other programs sharing the same installation location) and select an installation location that is not in the path C:\Program Files\IBM\, such as C:\Program Files_IBM\.
• If you selected a shared resources directory in the path C:\Program Files\IBM\, reinstall Rational Systems Developer and all Rational Software Development Platform product (regardless of their installation location) and select a Shared Resources directory and installation locations that are not in the path C:\Program Files\IBM\, such as C:\Program Files_IBM\.

For more information on running Rational Systems Developer on Windows Vista, see the technote.

Uninstalling the fix pack

If you updated a previously installed version to version 7.0.5.1, you can revert to the previous version by using the rollback feature of Installation Manager. For instructions on uninstalling the product, see the Installation Guide.

The rollback feature uninstalls the updated resources and reinstalls the resources from the previous version. You can only roll back one version level at a time.

When you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it will be restored with same features that were associated with that version; any features that you added after upgrading to version 7.0.5.1 by using the Modify Packages wizard will be removed, and any features that you removed will be restored.

During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your system when you install a package. If you changed the default setting or deleted the files by using the Remove Stored Files option on the Roll Back preferences page (File > Preferences > Rollback Files), Installation Manager will require access to your installation repository or media. If you installed the product from a repository, you must have listed in your Preferences (File > Preferences > Repositories) the repository from which you installed the previous version of the product. If you installed the product from CDs or other media, they must be available when you use the rollback feature.

Before you roll back Rational Systems Developer, Version 7.0.5.1, complete the following steps:

1. Log in with a user account that has the same privileges as the account that was used to install the packages to be uninstalled.
2. Close Rational Systems Developer, Version 7.0.5.1 and any other applications that you installed by using Installation Manager.
3. If any applications started by Rational Systems Developer are still open or running, such as a browser, close them.

To roll back an updated package, complete the following steps:

1. Start IBM Installation Manager.
2. On the Start page, click Roll Back Packages.
3. In the Rollback wizard, from the Package Group Name list, select the package group that contains the packages that you want to roll back and click Next.
4. Select the version of the package that you want to roll back to and click Next.
5. Read the summary information and click Roll Back.
