Problems
fixed in v7.0.0.1 iFix001
|
Problem ID |
Description |
|
|
Rose Add-Ins |
RATLC01186777 |
Unable to select the following Add-In’s after installing Rose on Vista: o
Rose C++ |
|
Rose Add-Ins |
RATLC01188007 |
Unable to generate code for the following Rose Add-In’s
on Vista: o
Rose C++ o
Rose Ada83 o
Rose Ada95
Since Vista does not allow writing to the "Program
Files" directory, source code generation would fail. Code is now generated in user directory. User
directory is defined by the environment variable "USERPROFILE". |
|
Rose ANSI C++ |
IC50743; RATLC01186025 |
Unnecessary "Warning: Unresolved relation..."
error could occur. |
|
Rose ANSI C++ |
IC51343; RATLC01006367 |
ANSI C++ synchronization issues could occur. The Resource strings for 'Class modification(s)' and
'No
model updates have been performed'
were missing. Also, a check on comment style was performed for both
forward and reverse engineering which resulted in wrong setting for the file
change flag. |
|
Rose C++ |
PK39011; RATLC01187403 |
A
system error could occur when generating Rose C++ code. While generating code, the "FullyQualifiedInclusionProtectionSymbol" feature was added to include fully
qualified name for the “InclusionProtectionSymbol" property in
the header
file. Note: A check is added to allow code generation
only for appropriate modules. |
|
Rose Data Modeler |
RATLC01188008 |
The Rose Data Modeler may hang when attempting to forward
engineer to database. Rose Data Modeler attempted to generate log file directly
in C: drive. |
|
Rose Framework |
RATLC01188160 |
Permission error when attempting to save Rose Model
after loading Framework. This was due to Frameworks being read-write vs.
read-only. |
|
RATLC01187965 |
The Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is not
available in Vista. However, it is available for download from
Microsoft at:. Download this and install as a pre-requisite to
run Rose Help |
|
|
Rose Registry Entries |
RATLC01188075 |
All registry entries now made through
HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Also, changed corresponding reads to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER and if not found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, to read from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. |
|
Rose VB |
RATLC01187966 |
Unable to activate Rose VB
Add-In on Vista. |
|
Rose VC++ |
RATLC01187964 |
Unable to forward and reverse engineer using
Rose VC++ Add-In when Rose installed on Vista. |
|
Rose VC++ |
PK41407; RATLC00554424 RATLC00144994 |
Allow Rose to recognize both
.NET 2002/2003 and .NET 2005 installations. Previously, a separate Test Fix
would have to be applied to integrate with either .NET 2002/2003 or .NET
2005. The Test Fix is no longer
necessary. |
