What's new in version 4.6.1.10

  • General Enhancements
    • Multi Value Attribute capability.

Statemate was enhanced to support Multi Value Attribute. This capability allows defining attributes in the Attribute Definition File as allowed to have multiple occurrences for a single element, with different values.
The format of attribute record in the Attribute Definition File includes now the multiplicity field:

#attr description:

    {

    #name:<Attribute name>

    #type:<Attribute type>

    #multiplicity: <yes/no>

    #value:<Default value>

    #legal values:<For enumerated type>

    #enforced: <yes/no>

    }

When multiplicity is set to ‘yes’, this attribute may appear multiple times for a single element.

Check-model will not report "Elements with non-unique attribute definitions" for multi-value attributes.

Multi-value attributes will be exported to DOORS as a concatenated string, when values are separated by semi-colons.

The 'Insert' button in the Attributes matrix was enhanced to support a Copy option for multi-value attribute. When the selected row is of a multi-value attribute, pressing 'Insert' will open a sub-menu,
New or Copy, and the new inserted attribute line will accordingly be created as new (empty) or copy of the selected attribute.

    • A new preference was added in the Databank Browser section "Preserve Attributes graphic data in chart-file".
      When it is set to 'Yes', it will works as before (default setting).
      When setting it to 'No', the 'attribute resources' section will not be included in the chart file.

 

  • Dataport/Dataimport Enhancements
    • New Dataport function was added, to retrieve description of use-case:
      char * stm_r_uc_description(stm_id st_id, int *status);
    • Three new Dataport functions were added, to retrieve occurrence Id's of Activities, Actors and Use-cases by name:
