New Features
| Summary | Details |
|---|---|
| Technical - Support for Visual Basic | Support has been implemented for the delivery and analysis of Visual Basic. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Visual+Basic+-+Prepare+and+deliver+the+source+code and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Visual+Basic+-+Analysis+configuration. |
| Techncial - Share Assessment Model Settings - BETA | The Share Assessment Model Settings option has been introduced in the Global Configurations settings in the Admin Center. This feature allows you to apply the same Assessment Model customization to all applications managed in AIP Console. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Settings+-+Assessment+Model+Strategy#AdministrationCenterSettingsAssessmentModelStrategy-ShareAssessmentModelSettings for more information. |
| Technical - Simplified Delivery Mode | "Simplified Delivery mode" has been implemented for those users that want to deliver source code from one single unique location - i.e. a dedicated folder - and do not want to retain any version delivery history for future rescans. This feature is only available via the AIP Console Automation tools (the Jenkins plugin and the CLI tool) available here: https://github.com/CAST-Extend/com.castsoftware.aip.console.tools. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/1.23+-+Simplified+Delivery+mode+overview. |
Feature Improvements
| Summary | Details |
|---|---|
| GUI - Architecture Studio - Model/Library Component lists | Minor improvements to the list of existing Models (Architecture and Quality Rule) and Library Components: all items can now be edited by clicking the row in the table. In addition, the Edit icon has been removed and replaced with an Edit menu option in the "hamburger" menu. |
| GUI - Architecture Studio - Library Components display | A minor improvement has been applied to the filter toggle button available in the Library Components list: the toggle allows the display to show either 1) all components, or 2) only custom/user defined components. Previously the toggle button filtered on standard components delivered with AIP Console. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/AIP+Console+-+Architecture+Studio+-+Library+Components. |
| GUI - Transactions - Architecture Model Check | It is now possible to access an Architecture Check direct from individual transactions. When the option is invoked, a choice of existing Architecture Models is provided, together with a Check option on each. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Application+-+Transactions+-+Transactions#ApplicationTransactionsTransactions-UsingtheCheckarchitectureoption. |
| GUI - Architecture Studio - Check Content | The results of the Check Content action now display information in the header of the results list indicating that the results may contain sub or external objects - if these types of objects were configured for inclusion. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/AIP+Console+-+Architecture+Studio+-+Model+editor#AIPConsoleArchitectureStudioModeleditor-itemeditorItemeditor. |
| Technical - Support for Visual Basic | Support has been implemented for the delivery and analysis of Visual Basic. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Visual+Basic+-+Prepare+and+deliver+the+source+code and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Visual+Basic+-+Analysis+configuration. |
| GUI - Function Point - License | When a global license key is in use that does not include the ability to count Function Points, a message will be displayed in the Function Point screen to explain this (i.e. why all values are 0 and why it is not possible to use the compute function point action. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Application+-+Function+Points+-+Overview. |
| GUI - Reference Finder | Improvements have been implemented to the Reference Finder feature: 1) The layout of the Reference Finder creation panel has been revised. 2) It is now possible to search (optionally) for a pattern in a specific BEGIN and/or END zone. 3) You can choose to target object names or full names. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Application+-+Config+-+Reference+Finder. |
| GUI - Architecture Studio - QR Models | It is now possible to define a set using an "Assessment Model Scope" property. These are predefined properties which are used in the definition or quality rules, for example, "ABAP Artifacts" or "COBOL Copybooks". This option can speed up the definition of sets. Note that "Assessment Model Scopes" can only be used with Quality Rule Models and not Architecture Models. If you use one, you must ensure that this scope exists in the chosen context for your model otherwise publish will fail. |
