4.2.i.Rhp831.PreRelease (28-APR-2023)

Important fix to textual activity diagram listener due to unexpected bug in 4.2.h related to stm listener overlap now available on github. Don't forget to rename top-level folder SysMLHelper without the version number before moving into Profiles folder. Also ensure that previous profile is not just renamed but removed from Share/Profiles completely (as Rhapsody will open first filename it finds rather than the explicit path to .sbsx).

 Also added some significant usability functionality to populate dependent or depends on requirements/elements on diagrams (if not present). As this works well, I refactored the existing select dependent elements helper to provide same intelligent pull-down list options rather than separate menus. 

V4.2.i.Rhp831.PreRelease (28-APR-2023):

#646 27-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Fix issue introduced with 4.2.h with textual activity diagrams being called stm - rather than act - (F.J.Chadburn)

#647 28-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Add a populate dependencies helper to help with populating missing requirements on diagrams (F.J.Chadburn) 

#648 28-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Re-factored select depends on and select dependent helpers to use same intelligent populate menu approach (F.J.Chadburn)

#649 28-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Cope gracefully when dependent/depends on elements can't be populated on same diagram as selected graph node (F.J.Chadburn)

#650 28-APR-2023: BusinessValue: Updated/re-factored to make use of same populate/select dependency helpers as the ExecutableMBSE profile (F.J.Chadburn)

#651 28-APR-2023: SysMLHelper: Updated/re-factored to make use of same populate/select dependency helpers as the ExecutableMBSE profile (F.J.Chadburn)

#652 28-APR-2023: SysMLHelper: Fix template_for_act functionality so that activity diagram is created with template property (F.J.Chadburn)

4.2.h.Rhp831.PreRelease (24-APR-2023)

Incremental improvements from usage and exploration of new DOORS NG workflows now available on github. Don't forget to rename top-level folder SysMLHelper without the version number before moving into Profiles folder. Also ensure that previous profile is not just renamed but removed from Share/Profiles completely (as Rhapsody will open first filename it finds rather than the explicit path to .sbsx).

Enhancements mainly relate to incorporation of context diagram package menus into the use case package menu form to allow both to be done at same time and also some helpers to support a workflow with DOORS NG where Rhapsody remains the master but an OSLC link is established to the remote requirement.

V4.2.h.Rhp831.PreRelease (24-APR-2023):

#640 02-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Automatically name statecharts when they are created, stm - <Block name>, as statechart_3 doesn't really help as a name (F.J.Chadburn)

#641 07-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Add options to create context diagram package and signals package when creating the use case package structure (F.J.Chadburn)

#642 21-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Add menu to automatically establish trace dependencies to remote requirements to facilitate surrogate approach to DNG reqts (F.J.Chadburn) 

#643 21-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Add model check for requirements that have dependencies on DOORS NG requirements to warn if specification text differs (F.J.Chadburn)

#644 24-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Get the csv export to include Identifier of requirement if an OSLC relation exists to remote version of it (F.J.Chadburn)

#645 24-APR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Add additional helper info to remind users to open csv and save as Excel before importing into DOORS NG (F.J.Chadburn)

4.2.g.Rhp831.PreRelease (26-MAR-2023)

Incremental improvements from usage/creation and testing of training material now available on github. Don't forget to rename top-level folder SysMLHelper without the version number before moving into Profiles folder. Also ensure that previous profile is not just renamed but removed from Share/Profiles completely.

Enhancements mainly relate to round-trip of requirements from Rhapsody to DOORS NG via csv route with the ability to then switch master so that requirements on diagrams are switched to remote artefacts once imported into DOORS NG. For this to work requirements can't have newlines/carriage-returns, hence various ways to smooth this. Also some right-click tables added to requirements packages.

#635 23-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Export requirements to csv to import into DOORS NG user interface dialog added to improve situational awareness (F.J.Chadburn)

#636 23-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Get export to csv to give a more user-friendly dialog if file is locked/open in Excel (F.J.Chadburn)

#637 23-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Added Table View - Action to Requirement menu to the requirements package right-click menu (F.J.Chadburn)

#638 24-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: When harvesting annotations such as Rationale for csv avoid duplicating text when both dependency and anchor exist (F.J.Chadburn)

#639 26-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Get export to csv to warn and provide option to fix if requirements or comments have newlines (F.J.Chadburn)

#628 08-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Added Java code to switch anchors to trace dependencies, so enable easier switch to DNG in future (F.J.Chadburn)

#629 08-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Get csv export of requirements to include columns for comments where an incoming trace dependency exists (F.J.Chadburn)

#630 08-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Added SwitchAnchorsToDependencies to hep file and plugin (default to not show, hence user needs to tweak .hep file (F.J.Chadburn)

#631 08-MAR-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Don't override double-click for packages to minimise issues with new users accidentally popping up the open diagram dialog (F.J.Chadburn)
