Chapter 1. Version: 9.0.2

1.1. Modeler

1.1.1. New Features

• Command line installation for Modeler (ACTP-9671)

The Modeler's installer now supports the following command line arguments: • /S - Silent mode. Executes the installer without user interface / interaction.

• /MODELER_USER_LANGUAGE="xy_XY" - Specifies the Modeler's target language (e.g. "de_DE" for German or "en_EN" for English).

• /MODELER_JDK="root_folder_of_preinstalled_jdk" - Specifies the JDK which should be used to start the Modeler. The parameter is only evaluated in silent mode . If it is used in silent mode, the JDK bundled with the installer is not installed.

• /MODELER_LICENSE_DIRECTORIES="license_folder1;license_folder2;..." - Specifies a single or multiple license folder(s) from which the Modeler should pick up license files. Multiple folders must be separated by semicolon (";").

• /D=target_folder - Specifies the target folder to which the Modeler should be installed to. IMPORTANT: Must be the last parameter on the command line and must not contain quotes even if the path contains blank spaces!

• Environment configuration for resolving stream dependencies (ACTP-7704)

It is now possible to configure the Model Hub environment against which the stream dependencies are resolved.

1.1.2. Improvements

• Improve Marker Decoration Performance (ACTP-9686)

Marker decoration performance has been significantly improved. • Extended workspace validation (ACTP-9442)

The Modeler now displays a warning in the problems view if model projects of the same module share the same name.

1.1.3. Fixed Bugs

• Fixed UI freezes (ACTP-9861)

Fix a bug where the Modeler UI could get unresponsive when the configured model hub connection was not reachable.

• Exception when opening "Model Hub Versioning" view for the first time (ACTP-9735)

The "Model Hub Versioning" view can now be opened reliably.

• Fix and document how to configure client certificate to connect to Model Hub via SSL (ACTP-9644)

Client certificate-based SSL communication with Model Hub has been fixed. There are two separate ways to configure the Modeler to use the client certificate:

(9)

(2) by referencing a Java Key Store via VM variables set in "MODELER_INSTALL_DIR\eclipse\modeler.ini". The two variables needed are Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=PATH_TO_KEYSTORE_FILE and

-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=PASSWORD. Both means of configuration are in-line with the Java specification. Therefore further details can be found there.

• Modeler Preferences are stored per-workspace. (ACTP-9582)

Modeler Preferences are now stored separately for every workspace.

• Fixed a bug in 'Release to...': Compiler always used Java source level 1.7 (ACTP-9483)

The 'Release to ... ' build functionality hard-coded the Java compiler level to Java 1.7. This has been fixed to default to the JVM version in use. The sourceCompatbility and targetCompatibility can be overridden in modeler.ini using the following settings under -vmargs

-vmargs

-Dactico.workspace.build.compile.source-compatibility=1.6 -Dactico.workspace.build.compile.target-compatibility=1.6

Where target compatibility is optional . When setting source, the target is set to the same value. • Missing UI feedback when interacting with Model Hub in offline mode (ACTP-9416)

Interaction with Model Hub in offline mode will now open up a dialog which allows the user to decide whether the connection should be established.

• Model Hub accessibility decoration in Model Hub Versioning view was never refreshed once it was set

(ACTP-9414)

The Model Hub accessibility decoration - a red cross overlay icon - was never removed once it was added. • Model Project Descriptor Editor does not allow to add libraries with uppercase letters (ACTP-9341)

The Model Project Descriptor Editor now allows to add library dependencies with valid maven coordinates. • Move Model Project will not change dependencies of moved Model Project (ACTP-9314)

Move Model Project refactoring does not break dependencies anymore when a project is moved.

• Replace local resource with older revision should produce outgoing instead of incoming change (ACTP-9313)

Replacement of local resources with previous Model Hub revison now produces outgoing changes. • PMML Import Wizard is broken (ACTP-9204)

Fixed a bug that prevented import of PMML models.

• Fixed several issues with the Model Hub preference page (ACTP-9129)

The Modeler now uses the offline mode per default when the Model Hub connection is not configured yet. The Model Hub connection can now be set 'Offline' without having filled out all fields correctly. Also, in case there are validation problems on the page, the error message does not change (or even disappear) when the input focus is switched from one field to another.

1.2. Rules Modeling

1.2.1. Improvements

• Dependency to commons-io was removed (ACTP-9640)

(10)

• Skip model validation for projects with unresolved dependencies (ACTP-9342)

Model validation is skipped when there are unresolved dependencies. Unresolved dependencies lead to many consequential errors that will usually be resolved once the dependencies are fixed.

• Double-Checked locking in generated source code (ACTP-8961)

Fixed the finding "Code Correctness: Double-Checked Locking" in the generated code.

1.2.2. Fixed Bugs

• Unexpected error for structure attributes (ACTP-9843)

Fixed a bug where a "write-only" error is issued for an attribute that is referenced but does not exist. • Fixed a bug in the model validation (ACTP-9841)

If a rule project A uses an unknown data type then it's validation will produce an error. If A has a reference on another rule project B than A should automatically be revalidated as soon as the data type was defined in B. This did not happen and was fixed.

• Test Suite can not find Tests after refactoring a Model Project (ACTP-9773)

Fixed a bug where Test cases could not be found by Test Suites after moving a Model Project to another Module or changing it's Model Project Id.

• Rule models could not be selected in various Wizards (ACTP-9647)

Fixed a bug that prevented from selecting a rule model when using Import Wizards or the "Extract Branch ..." refactorings.

• Fixed some issues with Test Data Import (ACTP-9639)

• Expected collection values now are represented by the empty collection literal "{}" instead of being imported as missing.

• Empty string values now are represented by the empty string literal "" instead of being imported as missing.

• Time and Date-Time values now are represented with the corresponding literals instead of being imported as strings (or ignored).

• Error Marker in Test Editor is not visible (ACTP-9415)

Fixed a bug that prevented visibilty of error marker in Test Editor. • Output parameter assignment not visible in properties view (ACTP-9411)

(11)

Chapter 2. Version: 9.0.1

2.1. Modeler

2.1.1. New Features

• Allow to define the stream name initially (ACTP-7928)

When creating a new Module it is now possible to set the stream name. • Migration from Modeler 6,7 and 8 (ACTP-6802)

Modeler 9 provides an import wizard to migrate rule projects created with ACTICO Modeler 6 and 8 and from Visual Rules Modeler 6, 7 and 8.

2.1.2. Fixed Bugs

• Imprecise compare results for changed resources after reconnecting a Module (ACTP-9277)

In case of Module re-connections the Modeler's compare functionality showed imprecise differences. Both file versions - local and remote - were shown as outgoing and incoming at the same time. With this bugfix the Modeler presents all changes as outgoing changes.

• Unsuspected problem markers are displayed (ACTP-9264)

Fixed a bug that kept already fixed problem markers in the Modeler. • Overwrite local changes on deleted model project fails (ACTP-9220)

An error was fixed that prevented users to overwrite locally deleted model projects. • Model Hub Connection is not usable after a while (ACTP-9213)

Fixed a bug where the Model Hub Connection was not usable because of unprocessed responses from Model Hub.

• Exception on deleting a Module containing Model projects (ACTP-9206)

An error was fixed that led to failures while deleting Modules containing Model projects. • External OIDC authentication together with mapped user ID leads to problems (ACTP-9088)

Fixed a bug that led to situations where the current user was mistakenly not considered himself. This occurred only with the authentication method EXTERNAL_OIDC, in connection with attribute mappings that mapped the userId to another field.

• Internal error with wrong Model Hub credentials (ACTP-9076)

Fixed a bug where Modeler was not able to handle invalid user credentials. • "Model Project Dependencies" classpath containers disappear (ACTP-8946)

Fixed a bug where the "Model Project Dependencies" classpath containers disappeared after deleting and recreating a Model Project.

• Errors when Model Hub Connection is in offline mode (ACTP-8940)

When trying to work with Model Hub Versioning although the connection is set offline, a dialog is shown, asking to activate the connection.

(12)

2.2. Rules Modeling

2.2.1. Fixed Bugs

• Deletion of a Rule Project does not lead to outgoing change (ACTP-9261)

Fixed a bug where the Model Hub Activities view was not updated after deleting a Model Project. • Error when running rule tests (ACTP-9153)

An error was fixed that prevented the test execution environment to load all rule model dependencies. • Selecting literals with Java implementation leads to error dialog (ACTP-9038)

Fixed a bug that led to error dialog popping up when literals with external Java implementation were selected in ACTICO Modeling Explorer.

• Reject of rule element deletion in compare leads to corrupt model (ACTP-8943)

Fixed a bug where models got corrupted when a rule element deletion was rejected in the compare editor. • Compare with local history and each other (ACTP-8941)

Fixed "Compare with local history" and "Compare with each other" which did not have any effect. • Opening a flow rule fails (ACTP-8914)

Fixed a bug that prevented opening flow rules that contained references to structural types in the flow rule editor. Enhanced the editor by rendering those references as boxed groups that can be expanded and collapsed.

• Changed parameter name for setting log level in Rule Test executions (ACTP-8687)

A new VM argument "-DlogLevel=debug" is introduced, which changes the log level in Rule Test executions. This parameter replaces the former "-l debug" program argument. Allowed values correlate with Log4J's log levels.

• Error Decorations in the Test Editor (ACTP-7029)

Fixed a bug where Error Decorations in the Test Editor are not always displayed correctly, i.e. it could happen that only a warning was displayed when there also was an error for the decorated element.

2.3. DMN Runtime

2.3.1. Fixed Bugs

• Umlaut in DMN Decision Table is not encoded correctly (ACTP-8815)

Fixed a bug that produced errors when a DMN service was called and provided string value results that contained special characters like Umlauts.

(13)

Chapter 3. Version: 9.0.0

3.1. Modeler

3.1.1. New Features

• ACTICO Modeler 9 (ACTP-8576)

ACTICO Modeler has undergone major modernizations and a few new concepts have been introduced. Significant changes are:

• Introduction of modules to group model projects and models. Modules are versioned, released and deployed in Model Hub.

• Easier management of dependencies. The ruleproject.vr was replaced with a new editor. Maven based projects using a pom.xml are not supported.

• Dependencies can be resolved from Model Hub. There is no need to have all model projects in the workspace anymore. Modeler does not require a Maven repository connection.

• Versioning of model projects in Model Hub instead of Team Server

• Compare and Merge functionality was improved and upgraded to latest version. • Late binding using stream dependencies.

• Introduction of a new model project type "Extension" to write java code for Rules service types, actions types and function implementation. This replaces the support for Eclipse based java projects.

• Support for Java 11 (ACTP-7272)

Java 11 is supported and preferred. Oracle Java 8 can still be used. • Default heap size (ACTP-4996)

The default heap size of the Modeler was increased from 780MB to 2GB

3.2. Rules Modeling

3.2.1. Improvements

• Rules Modeling Guide (ACTP-5017)

Restructured the Rules Modeling Guide.

• Reworked Documentation Generation for Rule Models (ACTP-2760)

(16)

Chapter 5. Version: 8.1.14

5.1. Modeler

5.1.1. Improvements

• Improve Marker Decoration Performance (ACTP-9686)

Marker decoration performance has been significantly improved.

5.1.2. Fixed Bugs

• Fix and document how to configure client certificate to connect to Model Hub via SSL (ACTP-9606)

Client certificate-based SSL communication with Model Hub has been fixed. There are two separate ways to configure the Modeler to use the client certificate:

(1) By importing the certificate into the trust store of the JDK that is used to start the Modeler

(2) by referencing a Java Key Store via VM variables set in "MODELER_INSTALL_DIR\eclipse\modeler.ini". The two variables needed are Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=PATH_TO_KEYSTORE_FILE and

-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=PASSWORD. Both means of configuration are in-line with the Java specification. Therefore further details can be found there.

• Deadlock when starting Modeler (ACTP-9553)

Fix a bug that prevented starting Modeler.

5.2. Rules Modeling

5.2.1. Improvements

• Double-Checked locking in generated source code (ACTP-8961)

5.2.2. Fixed Bugs

• Compare Editor does not work for a Rule Model or a Rule (ACTP-9719)

Fixed a bug where the Compare Editor for a Rule Model or a Rule threw an exception and therefore did not show comparison content.

• ErrorMarker on Decision Rule Element is not visible (ACTP-9715)

Fixed a bug where an error marker was not visible on Decision Case Rule Element. • Fixed a bug in the model validation (ACTP-9531)

Fixed a bug that produced error messages whenever the model validation starts. • Renaming of element name sometimes impossible (ACTP-9497)

Fixed a bug where it was sometimes not possible to rename an element name within the property view since the mouse cursor position is set to the first position each time the element name was clicked. In addition, the element and error marking symbols flashed continuously.

(17)

Fixed a bug that prevented visibilty of error marker in Test Editor. • Output parameter assignment not visible in properties view (ACTP-9411)

(18)

Chapter 6. Version: 8.1.13

(19)

Chapter 7. Version: 8.1.12

7.1. Rules Modeling

7.1.1. Fixed Bugs

• Fixed a bug that prevented from merging specific changes (ACTP-8345)

Fixed a bug that prevented saving a rule when a merge of a specific change rather than the entire set of changes had been performed.

(20)

Chapter 8. Version: 8.1.11

8.1. Rules Modeling

8.1.1. New Features

• Visual Rules model migration (ACTP-7826)

Added migration for Visual Rules models created with version 6.4.7 and later, version 7 and version 8. The following features had changes in the meta model and are not supported anymore. Those are removed during migration:

• Option "Enable individually (with imports)" in the action configuration of rule tests which offers to enable individual actions without disabling all imported actions. Option is replaced with "Enable individually". • Possibility to define the mapping of a structure attribute to a JSON attribute so that you can process JSON

attributes which don't follow the Java attribute naming constraints. The mapping is removed.

• For the resource type "HTTP Resource", the authentication method "Client Token Forwarding" is reverted back to "Identity Management Context-ID".

8.2. DMN Modeling

8.2.1. Fixed Bugs

• Validation error in "Movie Ticket Pricing DMN" example model (ACTP-7882)

Introduced new Item Definition Seating to fix the validation error in Movie Ticket Pricing DMN example model.

(21)

9.1. Rules Modeling

9.1.1. Fixed Bugs

• Inherited attribute in group was not displayed correctly, when default value was assigned to it (ACTP-7066) A bug related to the display of inherited group attributes of rules structures was fixed. The bug occurred when a structure with a grouped attribute was used as super type and a default value was assigned to the inherited group attribute.

9.2. DMN Modeling

9.2.1. New Features

• DMN Content Assist supports "Dot Notation" (ACTP-7861)

The DMN Content Assist (Ctrl+Space) is much improved. Specifically, after a dot it now only lists the names of information items possible at this location.

9.2.2. Fixed Bugs

• Inplace Editor changes are not applied if content assist was open (ACTP-2939)

(22)

10.1. Modeler

10.1.1. Fixed Bugs

• Fixed a bug in authentication dialog when connecting against Model Hub (ACTP-6548)

Fixed a bug with authentication dialog when connecting against Model Hub. The dialog opened too often which was unnecessary.

10.2. Rules Modeling

10.2.1. Fixed Bugs

• Saving Test Suites failed (ACTP-6594)

(23)

11.1. Rules Modeling

11.1.1. Improvements

• Service Types in Context Palette will not be shown anymore (ACTP-5793)

To reduce visual load, the Service Type of a Service is not displayed any more in the flow rule editor's Context Palette (the palette shown on the right side of the flow rule editor).

• Search Reference View shows verbose contents (ACTP-5464)

Rule element search results were cluttered with very detailed results. The logic for displaying those results has been reverted to a less detailed version.

11.1.2. Fixed Bugs

• Removed unnecessary dependencies during Rule Tests (ACTP-6304)

Fixed a bug where unnecessary dependencies are located on classpath during Rule Testing. • Fixed some bugs related to the Team Server functionality in the Modeler (ACTP-5348)

The HEAD branch was displayed for a tag even if it was created for another branch. The initial selection of the branch in the "Replace With" dialog sometimes was wrong. "Replace With" failed when a resource in a project was replaced.

• Fixed a bug where tooltips cannot be disabled (ACTP-3385)

Fixed a bug where tooltips in the flow rule editor are displayed even if their display is explicitly disabled. • Locked package resource on Team Server blocks the entire project for other users (ACTP-2316)

A Modeler bug was fixed that led to a whole Team Server project being locked, when instead only a project resource should be locked.

• Comparison prevented by ClassCastException (ACTP-2172)

Fixed ClassCastException when comparing models with empty string list.

11.2. DMN Modeling

11.2.1. Fixed Bugs

• Enhancements for Copy&Paste in DMN Expression Editor (ACTP-5889)

Copy&Paste now supports nested structures in arbitrary hierarchy levels. It also behaves more consistent regarding inserting/overwriting elements. Cut just cuts the values instead of removing columns or rows. Also, Paste now overwrites values instead of inserting new columns/rows. In contrast, Drag&Drop moves or inserts columns or rows. If a context entry is copied, a single-entry context automatically is created when pasting on a cell that accepts a DMN Expression.

• Editing DMN elements does not work without "DMN for Avaloq" license feature (ACTP-5830)

The Modeler's license check mechanism has been corrected for users without "DMN for Avaloq" license feature. The previous version had a bug that prevented many DMN editing operations in case the "DMN for Avaloq" license feature was not available.

(24)

Chapter 12. Version: 8.1.7

12.1. Modeler

12.1.1. New Features

Fixed a bug, that showed a validation error when assigning Integer.MIN_VALUE to an Integer field.

12.2.2. Other Changes

• Revision list in "Restore from Team Server Dialog" is sorted by Date (ACTP-5093)

The Revision list in "Restore from Team Server Dialog" is now sorted by Date instead of Revision.

12.3. Rules Runtime

• Upgraded library javax.mail (ACTP-5515)

The library javax.mail was updated to a newer version due to the vulnerability SONATYPE-2017-0492.

12.4. DMN Modeling

• API reference was missing in help (ACTP-3428)

Fixed a bug where the API reference was missing in the help content

• Incorrect literal handling of "java.util.Calendar" type when variable type is "Any" (ACTP-3365) A bug preventing correct assignment of a " Date" type with a Java implementation of " java.util.Calender" to an " Any" type was fixed.

• Fixed inconsistent behaviour between "date()" function and "#" notation when executing in different time

zone (ACTP-2240)

Having a time zone with daylight saving time (e.g. CET) in the Modeler but not during Rule execution, dates defined with the #-notation in daylight saving time (e.g. #2018-05-04#) were transformed to the day before (eg. #2018-05-03#).

13.3. DMN Modeling

13.3.1. Fixed Bugs

• Generate Services in Rule Model (ACTP-5252)

Fixed a bug in the action "Generate Services in Rule Model..." preventing the action to generate all necessary packages if the DMN model uses imports.

• FEEL Namespace Declaration is missing in DMN file (ACTP-3441)

(26)

14.1. Rules Modeling

• Constant declarations in generated code are ordered inconsistently (ACTP-2773) Constant declarations in generated code now have a fixed order.

Fixed a bug that prevented loading of large DMN Model

• Delete on decision table inputvalue cell deletes the input column (ACTP-3115)

Fixed a bug in the DMN expression editor that caused the deletion of whole input column in a decision table when just the cell should have been cleared.

• Rule Test invalid after updating flow rules using "Generate Services in Rule Model..." (ACTP-3105)

Fixed a bug that disabled code generation of replaced Rule Model by "Generate Services in Rule Model..." action.

(28)

16.1.1. Fixed Bugs

• ClassCastException while double clicking a Rule Test inside a Test Suite (ACTP-3127)

Fixed a bug which prevented ClassCastExcetion while double clicking a Rule Test inside a Test Suite. • Compare & Merge Dialog (ACTP-3007)

Fixed a bug that caused broken buttons and missing icons within the compare and merge dialog. • Typos in Rules Modeling Guide (ACTP-2896)

Fixed some typos in the Rules Modeling Guide.

16.2. Rules Runtime

16.2.1. Fixed Bugs

• SOAP XML request can not be parsed by runtime (ACTP-3222)

Fixed a bug where a SOAP XML request can not be parsed by runtime when two tags are nested but have the same name.

(29)

Chapter 17. Version: 8.1.2

• New collection function indexOf (ACTP-2302)

New collection function indexOf(Any List, Any) is introduced. The function returns the index of the first occurrence of the specified element in the list, or 0 if the list does not contain the element. If the list is null, 0 is returned. It is also possible to search for null in the list.

17.1.2. Improvements

• Removed "Simple Rules" feature (ACTP-2572)

ACTICO Modeler provides the functionality to create Rules Services, Flow Rules and Data Types for DMN Decision Services.

• "Add Existing Requirements" action is available inside Decision Service Editor (ACTP-2893)

"Add Existing Requirements" action is included inside Decision Service Editor. Additionally by default it includes all transitive dependencies of all selected DMN Elements.

• Include transitive requirements in "Add Existing Requirements" action (ACTP-2892)

Added a new checkbox "include transitive" to the "Add Exisiting Requirements" popup dialog. When checked, the action also adds all transitive requirements to the diagram. The default value of the checkbox is unchecked.

(31)

From now on using the "Add Existing Requirements" action is possible when multiple DMN elements are selected.

• Enabled key bindings for global actions iniside Decision Requirement Diagram and Expression Editor (ACTP-945)

From now on actions like copy, paste, cut, select all, undo, redo is possible using the "Ctrl+C","Ctrl+V","Ctrl +X","Ctrl+A","Ctrl+Z" and "Ctrl+Y" keys respectively. These actions are available while inplace editing inside Decision Requirement Diagram and Expression Editor.

17.2.2. Improvements

• Bottom-up layout for "Arrange All" action (ACTP-2956)

Changed the layout for the "Arrange All" action from top-down to bottom-up. As a result the requirements now point upwards.

• Variable and element names in content assist (ACTP-2907)

Content assist now only lists the variable name of a DMN Element instead of both element name and variable name. The element name is shown in brackets behind the variable name.

• Renamed "Show Existing Requirements" and "Show Existing Notes" (ACTP-2894)

"Show Existing Requirements" and "Show Existing Notes" actions are renamed to "Add Existing Requirements" and "Add Existing Notes" respectively.

(33)

Chapter 18. Version: 8.1.1

• Code Generator respects Data Type with name "Object" (ACTP-2105)

Code Generator uses full qualifed names for types and does not fail by data type with name Object.

18.1.2. Fixed Bugs

• Inherited groups throws exception in Rule Explorer (ACTP-2734)

Fixed a bug that prevented expanding of Data Tape containing inhereted attribute group(s) in Rule Explorer • Code generation for imported XML types failed (ACTP-2688)

Fixed the bug that produced invalid default value during XSD Import. These had impact on code generation. • Modeler online help (ACTP-2661)

Fixed an issue which, when Modeler is running in German, prevented the online help to list the following manuals:

• Java Integration Guide • Database Integration Guide • Function Reference

• XSD import does not consider nullable boolean type (ACTP-2444)

The XSD import created boolean instead of java.lang.Boolean for XSD xsd:boolean that might be null.

18.2. Rules Runtime

18.2.1. Fixed Bugs

• Support for deep nested xml sequences (ACTP-2106)

XML support was extended. Runtime is now able to convert deep nested xml sequences to java and and vice versa

18.3. DMN Modeling

• Moved the initial location of the decision service frame (ACTP-2493)

Slightly moved the initial location of the decision service frame when opening a decision service without layout information. This prevents overlaps of Input Elements with the decision service frame.

• Improved Decision Service resizing/repositioning behavior (ACTP-2490)

If a Decision Service is moved or repositioned such that it will overlap elements, those elements are automatically repositioned to avoid any potential misinterpretation of the Decision Service Diagram

(34)

regarding which elements are encapsulated in the Decision Service and which are not. Moreover, Input Data Elements can not be placed on a Decision Service any more.

18.3.2. Fixed Bugs

• DMN jars are not added to ACTICO Rules Dependencies (ACTP-2709) Fixed a bug that prevented retrieving DMN dependencies.

• Improved Error Location in the Problems View (ACTP-2130)

Fixed the Error Location in the Problems View for invalid Input and Output Values in Decision Tables and for invalid allowed values in Item Definitions. Instead of 'unknown' the actual location is displayed.

18.4. DMN Runtime

• Usage of qualified names with list values for input entries in decision tables (ACTP-2649)

An input entry in a decision table is a list of unary tests. A qualified name is a valid unary test .The value assigned to the qualified name is matched against the input expression value. If the values are equal, the input matches. If the assigend value of a qualified name is a list of values, the input expression value is now additionally matched against each value in the list. If the list contains the input expression value, the input matches.

18.4.2. Fixed Bugs

• Decision service with input decision(s) (ACTP-2564)

Fixed an issue which prevented the execution of a decision service with an input decision.

18.5. Avaloq BRE Adapter

• Avaloq Business Rules Adapter Guide (ACTP-2219)

Created Eclipse help documentation and PDF document for Avaloq Business Rules Adapter. • Dmn extension "editable" (ACTP-2195)

Added DMN extension "editable". The extension is supported for Item Definitions and Input Data. Elements that are defined as non-editable are read-only and have all actions disabled.

Requires Avaloq Adapter license.

• DMN extension "enumeration" (ACTP-2192)

Added DMN extension "enumeration" for item definitions:

• An item definition can be added as enumeration via context menu New Element > Enumeration

• Added new property section for enumerations, which allows the following actions: • Add literals to the enumeration

• Remove literals from the enumeration

(35)

Requires Avaloq Adapter license. • DMN extension "inheritance" (ACTP-2191)

Added DMN extension "inheritance" for item definitions and enumerations. An extended item definition contains all item components of the super type, while an extended enumeration contains all literals of the super type.

Added the "Extends" field in the respective property section to specify a super type for an item definition or enumeration:

• For an item definition all item components of the super type are copied into the item definition. • For an enumeration all literals of the super type are copied into the enumeration.

All inherited item components and literals are decorated and read-only.

Added the action "Update Extended Item Definitions" to the context menu of "Project Explorer" and "Rule Explorer", which synchronizes the inherited item components and literals of all item definitions and enumerations within the selection with the item components and literals of their super types. Requires Avaloq Adapter license.

• Avaloq extension elements and attributes (ACTP-1776)

Added "Avaloq" property section to display extension element "targets" for Dmn Elements, and extension attributes "metaClass" and "principal" for Item Definitions.

(36)

Chapter 19. Version: 8.1.0

19.1.1. Fixed Bugs

• Download source code for libraries (ACTP-2225)

Fixed a bug which prevented the download of source code jars for dependent libraries, even when the "Download source code" checkbox on the "Libraries" preferences page was active.

• Icon decorations in content assist (ACTP-2171)

Icon decorations in the content assist are now correctly displayed again for input (I)/output (O) data elements and read-only (r) attributes.

19.2. DMN Modeling

• Reuse elements like decisions, business knowledge models or item definitions across multiple models

(ACTP-2514)

Elements of existing DMN models can now be reused in other DMN models via imports. This allows decisions, input data, business knowledge models, knowledge sources, and item definitions to be shared and reused across multiple models. An Import tab was added to the properties view for a DMN model.

You can also just drag&drop elements from another model to your decision requirements diagram, and an import is added automatically.

Also, DMN hrefs with no location URI, an imported location URI or a namespace are now supported. DMN imports are resolved using the namespace defined by the import.

• "Question/Answers" for decisions (ACTP-2505)

The "Question" and "Allowed Answers" fields have been removed from the "Settings" tab. They are now only shown on the separate tab "Question/Answers".

• DMN model name is used as default for namespace and namespace prefix (ACTP-2501)

The DMN model name is used as default for the namespace within the DMN model properties. Also, the default namespace prefix is derived from the imported model name when adding a model import. • Decoration of imported model elements (ACTP-2301)

Imported model elements are decorated with a small grey arrow in the top-left corner and are read-only. This way you can easily see which elements are actually references to elements from other models.

• Various improvements for DMN imports and model validation. (ACTP-2299)

• Content assist on type references now additionally lists imported item definitions

• Holding the Ctrl-key now turns type references in the "Properties" view into hyperlinks, leading to the item definition.

(37)

• The DMN model validation respects references to imported elements in literal expressions. A reference must be prefixed.

• The DMN model validation now validates type references, i.e. references to local and imported item definitions as well as FEEL data types.

• Fixes an issue where the navigation to elements from the "Problems" view via double-click did not work. • Fixes an issue in the expression editor where the whole expression was displayed with a red underline

instead of just the erraneous parts.

• Fixes an issue in the expression editor where the expression was not validated if it was just created. • Handling of unresolved model elements (ACTP-2242)

Decision requirements editor can now properly handle unresolved model elements. This can happen, when referenced elements from other models cannot be found because the corresponding models are not available or do not contain the elements anymore. Unresolved elements can be moved and deleted from diagrams. However, requirements starting or ending in unresolved elements cannot be created.

• Create and delete DMN models (ACTP-2063)

A DMN project now allows multiple DMN models. They can be created inside an existing project via the New > DMN Model menu entry. DMN models can now also be deleted, renamed, and moved via drag&drop.

• Automatic validation of DMN models can be deactivated (ACTP-1805)

Automatic validation of DMN models can be deactivated by turning off the "Validate Modeler Projects Automatically" option in the "Projects" menu.

19.2.2. Improvements

• Improvements for Content Assist (ACTP-2494)

The Content Assist has been further improved to only propose content suggestions relevant to the specific input field. Additionally, basic data types are now displayed without the FEEL prefix.

• Decision Service Diagrams (ACTP-2253)

A diagram showing all elements of a decision service is automatically created when you open an existing decision service for which a diagram was never drawn before.

• Clarification of behaviour of unary test - (dash) when input is null (ACTP-2093)

The DMN Modeling Guide now describes the behaviour of the unary test - (dash) in more detail.

Specifically, the test fails when the input is null , unless null is explicitly mentioned in the list of allowed

values. This is according to the DMN specification but proved to be unexpected to some users.

19.3. DMN Runtime

• Reuse elements like decisions, business knowledge models or item definitions across multiple models

(ACTP-1367)

Qualified names and types of imported elements are now supported in FEEL expressions. The first element of a qualified name or type may be the namespace prefix. The namespace prefix is required for imported elements. It is separated from the name by the '.' character.

(38)

Chapter 20. Version: 8.0.2

• XSD Importer ignores default values of attributes (ACTP-1620)

During an XSD Import, Modeler now imports the default values of XSD elements into the default values of the corresponding elements (structures, attributes) in the rule model.

20.1.2. Other Changes

• Rules Runtime (ACTP-2252)

Rules Runtime is updated to version 6.8.1.

20.2. DMN Modeling

• The ACTICO modeler now supports Namespace-based URIs in element references (ACTP-2121)

Namespace-based URIs that are used in the href attribute of Requirement Elements in the DMN files are supported.

20.2.2. Fixed Bugs

• Inplace editor for DRG element name closes immediatly when adding new elements (ACTP-2135)

Fixed a bug where the inplace editor for a DRG element name closed immediatly when adding new elements.

• Allowed values for ItemDefinition couldn't be removed (ACTP-1954)

Fixed a bug which prohibited the user to remove allowed values of ItemDefinitions. • ACTICO Modeler uses "DMN" as type for import but should use the DMN xsd URI (ACTP-1524)

Fixed a bug where dmn:import elements where created with "DMN" as importType instead of the DMN xsd URI (http://www.omg.org/spec/DMN/20151101/dmn.xsd).

20.3. DMN Runtime

20.3.1. Fixed Bugs

• ACTICO Modeler uses "DMN" as type for import but should use the DMN xsd URI (ACTP-1524)

Fixed a bug where dmn:import elements where created with "DMN" as importType instead of the DMN xsd URI (http://www.omg.org/spec/DMN/20151101/dmn.xsd).

(39)

If the condition of a FEEL filter expression evaluates to true, the item is selected. If the condition evaluates to false or any other result, the FEEL filter continues now the evaluation of further list items but doesn't select them. Previously, the evaluation result of the filter expression at all was null. Filtering with numbers is not affected.

20.4. Avaloq BRE Adapter

• The ACTICO Modeler supports Import of DMN Models (ACTP-2070)

You can add import to other DMN Models via Import Tab in Property Views for DMN Model. It is also possible to reuse DRG Elements from imported DMN Models in DRD Diagrams

(40)

Chapter 21. Version: 8.0.1

21.1.1. Fixed Bugs

• Unable to remove or move package reuse (ACTP-2056)

Fixed a bug which helped to remove, move up and move down of package reuse. Previously these actions were disabled.

• Node descriptions are displayed in bold (ACTP-2018)

Fixed a bug that node descriptions are displayed in bold again • Synchronize XML datatypes does not work (ACTP-2015)

Fixed a bug which helped to synchronize XML data types. Previously this could cause

NoClassDefFoundError org/eclipse/emf/compare/match/IEqualityHelperFactory when synchronizing XML data types.

• Refactoring is not working properly for ISA and ValuesOf usages (ACTP-1772)

Fixed a bug when refactoring ISA and VALUESOF expressions. • Explicit and Implicit Boolean checks behave different (ACTP-1607)

Fixed a bug that caused different behaviour for explicit (booleanValue = true) and implicit boolean checks (booleanValue).

21.1.2. Other Changes

• Misleading information about default value (ACTP-1693)

Current Modeler doesn't set the default value for all data types as "null". Previously it sets the default value as "null" which misleads information for some data types.

21.2. DMN Modeling

• User-friendly path information for error markers (ACTP-1817)

DMN Validation problem entries in the problems view are now displayed in a user-friendly path to the affected element in the location column.

21.2.2. Fixed Bugs

• Validation can fail with an exception if the name of a named element is null (ACTP-2099)

Fixed a bug in the DMN validation that occured if a named DMN element had no name assigned. Fixed a bug in the content assist function for the DMN expression editor that occured if the DRG contained a cycle in the requirements.

• Paste does not work anymore in expression editor (ACTP-2085)

Fixed a bug that prevented pasting into a cell in the DMN expression editor.

(41)

Changed description of business knowledge model and function definition attribute return type. Changed screenshot to show attribute.

• Allowed values for decision table are not validated (ACTP-2020)

Fixed a bug in the DMN validation that resulted in the allowed values for input clauses and output clauses of a decision table never being validated.

• Wrong validation message for default output value of decision table and allowed values of item definition

and messages are not shown in problems view (ACTP-2019)

Fixed a bug that resulted in the wrong validation messages to be displayed for the default output value of a decision table and allowed values of an item definition. Also, the error messages did only appear in the DMN expression editor but not in the problems view.

• Restoring workbench layout produced errors at startup (ACTP-2012)

Fixed a bug related to restoring the workbench layout on startup that produced lots of error messages in the error log.

• Fixed link in DMN Modelling Guide (ACTP-2008) PDF document contained an invalid link.

• Movie Ticket Pricing DMN example uses unlocalized weekdays (ACTP-2001)

Fixed a bug where unlocalized weekday strings were used in the Movie Ticket Pricing DMN example. • Renamed components Movie Ticket Pricing DMN examples (ACTP-1985)

Renamed the Movie Ticket Pricing DMN model. Renamed the Movie Ticket Pricing DMN Call model. Input data names are now using spaces, but variable names are still the same.

• Changed decision table of business knowledge model Calculate Bonus Points (ACTP-1974)

The hit policy unique of the decision table expects the decision table rules to be unique. Changed input entries for rule 2 and 5 in order to be unique. Added allowed input and output values to business knowledge model Calculate Bonus Points and Calculate Base Price.

• Help text in decision table hit policy (ACTP-1828)

Fixed a bug in the content assist for the decision table hit policy where the help text was not displayed completely in the popup window.

• Embedding an expression in a new context was prevented (ACTP-928)

(42)

Chapter 22. Version: 8.0.0

22.1. Modeler

• New startup parameter for customizing "modeler.home" directory (ACTP-1605)

Previously the Modeler was using multiple different locations for storing it's license, secure storage data and internal Library Repository. In order to provide a central location for these data items a new " modeler.home" directory with the default location of " <user_home>\.actico\acticomodeler" was introduced. This default is overridable by specifying the vmargs parameter " -Dmodeler.home=<path_to_custom_folder>" in " <modeler_installation_dir>\eclipse \modeler.ini". Notes: 1) If the specified folder location is not writable an error log entry will be created and the default location will be used. 2) The last line of modeler.ini needs to be empty - otherwise the last (non empty) line will be ignored.

22.2. Rules Modeling

• Code generation for multiple selected projects (ACTP-1751)

The Generate Rule Code action generates code for all rule models in all selected projects. Previously, the action was available only for an individual Rule Model. Now it is possible to select multiple Rule Projects and generate code for all selected projects in one step.

Improvements:

• It is possible to generate code for not yet loaded Rule Models (grey icon)

• The incremental code generation action now takes into account the currently selected Rule Projects and Rule Models

• The full code generation is now available in the context menu of the Rule Project

22.3. DMN Modeling

• Decision Model and Notation (DMN) Support (ACTP-1598)

ACTICO Modeler now supports the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard version 1.1. A new "DMN Project" type has been added that allows to model and execute DMN-conformant Decision Requirements Diagrams and decision logic using the FEEL expression language. Please see the "DMN Modeling Guide" for more info.

(43)

(44)

Chapter 23. Version: 6.8.0

23.1. Modeler

• Eclipse Oxygen (VRFF-1727)

Modeler is now based on Eclipse Oxygen. • Java 7 support dropped (VRFF-1726)

All components now require Java 8 to run. Java 7 support has been dropped.

This includes Modeler, Team Server, Execution Server, Identity Management and Builder. • Java Type Library must import java.lang.Number as Any (VRFF-1702)

Java Type Libraries now import java.lang.Number as "Any" instead of "Float" ( java.lang.Double). Previously this could cause ClassCastExceptions when the given java.lang.Number was not java.lang.Double.

• Java Type Library must import java.lang.Number as Any (VRFF-1660)

Java Type Libraries now import java.lang.Number as "Any" instead of "Float" ( java.lang.Double). Previously this could cause ClassCastExceptions when the given java.lang.Number was not java.lang.Double.

• Extend 'ASA' keyword in order to retrieve an enumeration literal from a String (VRFF-1441)

Enhanced the existing ASA keyword in order to be able to retrieve an (internal or external) enumeration literal by string. Examples:

• redLiteral := "RED" ASA Color

• New "selectAndJoin()" function to join lists into one list (VRFF-1439)

A new function selectAndJoin() has been added that performs join operations on provided list elements (aka flat-map operation). Example:

• myJoinedElements := selectAndJoin( inputCollection : this.myCollectionProperty ) • Query for all literals of an enumeration (VRFF-1367)

Added the new keyword VALUESOF in order to be able to retrieve a list containing all literals of a specified (internal or external) enumeration. Examples:

• colorLiterals := VALUESOF Color

• colorStrings := select(VALUESOF Color : toString(THIS))

23.1.2. Improvements

• "Java Type Library" also imports Javadoc from attached source jars (VRFF-1416)

During a "Java Type Library" synchronization, Modeler now also imports Javadoc from (Eclipse) source attachments of jars containing the classes. Previously the sources had to be in the binary jars themselves. • New function formatNumber(pattern, locale) (VRFF-1412)

Standard functions for pattern- and locale-based number formatting have been added. Specifically, the following functions are available:

(45)

• formatNumberLocalizedPattern(Float f, String pattern, String localeId) • Code generation for multiple selected projects (VRFF-1209)

The Generate Rule Code action generates code for all rule models in all selected projects. Previously, the action was available only for an individual Rule Model. Now it is possible to select multiple Rule Projects and generate code for all selected projects in one step.

Improvements:

• It is possible to generate code for not yet loaded Rule Models (grey icon)

• The incremental code generation action now takes into account the currently selected Rule Projects and Rule Models

• The full code generation is now available in the context menu of the Rule Project • Automatic refresh with filesystem (VRFF-1195)

Modeler now enables automatic file system synchronization by default. This should eliminate the need to press F5 to refresh the workspace in most cases. See Eclipse Preferences: "General" > "Workspace" > "Refresh using native hooks or polling" and "Refresh on access".

• Performance Improvement - Validation (VRFF-1186)

Rule Model validation performance has been greatly improved, especially for large workspaces. This speeds up many tasks in Modeler.

• Add keyboard shortcut for opening structures (VRFF-998)

Added the new shortcut "Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S" ("S" for structure) to quickly navigate to a specific data type. Picking the data type from the browser reveals it in the "Rule Explorer" and additionally shows it in the "Properties" view.

• Test Case XML export does not contain Test Case names (VRFF-776)

Test Case names are included when exporting XML from Test Editor. They are also considered when importing Test Cases from XML.

23.1.3. Fixed Bugs

• XML Type Library Import does not import attributes when complexType also contains a list (VRFF-1713) XML Type Libraries are now correctly imported when elements consist of a complexType with a list (maxOccurs="*"), but also include XML attributes. Previously the XML attributes were skipped in certain situations.

• Different rounding behavior of formatNumber(Float number, String pattern) (VRFF-1606)

Function formatNumber(Float number, String pattern) now has the same rounding behavior as the other formatXX() functions, i.e. a value of 0.5 is always rounded up. Previously it rounded up or down to the nearest even number.

• Default values of enumeration attributes (VRFF-1473)

The Properties view now allows to enter default values for attributes of enumerations when the attribute is within an attribute group.

• Compare with empty list in Rule Test should lead to test error (VRFF-1468)

Fixed a bug that prevented a rule test from properly failing when empty list was encountered either on 'expected' side or on 'actual' side.

• Error when selecting Flow Rule (VRFF-1437)

Fixed a bug that caused an error when a "Call Flow Rule" element was newly added to an existing flow rule and a flow rule to be called was picked from the selection dialog opened via the "..." button.

(46)

• Content of Rule Model deleted (VRFF-1433)

Fixed a bug that caused the deletion of the contents of a Rule Model, if a Test Suite, Usage Matrix or Dependency Diagram with same name has been deleted in Modeler.

• Import of rule tests misses type information (VRFF-1419)

During a rule test import, data type information is now also correctly imported even when values are empty. • Warning about "precision loss" is shown on positive values, but not on negative (VRFF-1410)

Precision loss warning is now also shown for negative numbers. • Error when updating dependencies of a Rule Project (VRFF-1393)

Fixed a bug which sometimes prevented Modeler from updating dependencies of Rule Projects. (This happened when Maven settings specified a profile which was not active in the pom.xml.)

• Unable to use Enumeration constants as test input (VRFF-1364)

Enumeration constants can now be used in rule tests in order to define expected results. Examples: • MyEnum.LITERAL1

• MyEnum.LITERAL1.myProperty

• MyEnum.LITERAL1.myListAttribute[1]

• Excel export of usage matrix ends with OutOfMemoryError (VRFF-1357)

Fixed a bug that could cause an OutOfMemoryError when usage matrix was exported to Excel. • Extension of licence file is case sensitive (VRFF-1239)

License files can now have an extension of either .TXT or .txt. Previously, only lowercase .txt worked. • Usage Matrix does not consider dependencies (VRFF-1216)
