4.2.o.Rhp831.PreRelease (20-SEP-2023)

Improved richness in remote requirement/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).

4.2.n.Rhp831.PreRelease (17-AUG-2023)

Improved richness in remote requirement/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).

Reminder that it is a design philosophy that all the helpers provided by Executable MBSE Profile (there are 72 menu command entries in the hep file) give a dialog explaining what they do before they perform any action. This helps use of the menus for reporting as well as actuation and users can invoke the menus with less risk of unexpected changes.

V4.2.n.Rhp831.PreRelease (17-AUG-2023):

0689 14-AUG-2023: ExecutableMBSE: First implementation of 'Synchronise remote links based on local surrogate traceability' menu to provide visibility of traceability in DOORS NG (F.J.Chadburn)

0690 15-AUG-2023: ExecutableMBSE: Refined 'Synchronise remote links...' to provide a bit more information and use a set rather than list so that duplicate links on local are ignored (F.J.Chadburn)

4.2.m.Rhp831.PreRelease (10-AUG-2023)

A reasonable step forward in terms of workflows around requirements management, particularly aligning around use of the surrogate approach with remote requirements (in DOORS NG) with the switcher taking the approach of first establishing trace links to enable matches to be reviewed in model first.

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 an additional feature to the use case package creation form to automatically create and apply a none new term stereotype with format during requirement package creation. Tested with 9.0.1. iFix 004 amongst others.
