1 ASG-Rochade Bus for Rational Data Architect Release Notes Version 2.04 for Windows May 8, 2014 RDA This publication describes all new features, changes and fixes of the ASG-Rochade Bus for Rational Data Architect (RDA) (herein called RDABUS) introduced in this release as compared to RDABUS Version Product Information 2 Issues The ASG-Rochade Bus for Rational Data Architect (RDABUS) enables the upload of Logical and Physical Data Models from IBM Rational Data Architect (RDA) and IBM InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA) to the ASG-Rochade Repository, and the download of Logical and Physical Data Models from the ASG-Rochade Repository to RDA and IDA. RDABUS uses the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) to read and create data models in RDA. 2.1 Using Extended Rochade Names As RDABUS uses the Extended Rochade Names feature (XNS), make sure that the following prerequisites are installed: Rochade Client >= V7.0 ROCHADE Java API >= WebAccess or Metability should be used for work with applications which were filled by RDABUS upload to Rochade (XNS). There are certain limitations when you use AutoPilot for such applications. If you open such an application, you will receive an AutoPilot message that explains these limitations.

2 2.2 Namespaces used with RDABUS and Rochade XNS CDM-RIM CDM/ENTITY is used as the namespace for: CDM/ATTRIBUTE CDM/SUBTYPE-SET CDM/IDENTIFIER CDM/VALIDATION-RULE is used as the namespace for: CDM/VALID-VALUE If during the RDABUS upload "Name Space = ERwin Model" is selected, the following additional namespaces are used: CDM/MODEL is used as the namespace for: CDM/SUBJECT-AREA CDM/ENTITY CDM/RELATIONSHIP CDM/DATA-TYPE CDM/VALIDATION-RULE RDM-RIM RDM/MODEL is used as the namespace for all item types starting with RDM/... RDM/DB2-DATABASE is used as the namespace for: RDM/DB2-TABLESPACE RDM/DB2-TABLESPACE is used as the namespace for: RDM/DB2-TABLESPACE_PARTITION RDM/TABLE is used as the namespace for: RDM/COLUMN RDM/REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINT RDM/CHECK_CONSTRAINT RDM/TRIGGER 2

3 RDM/COLUMN is used as the namespace for: RDM/ORACLE-CONSTRAINT_STATE RDM/INDEX is used as the namespace for: RDM/ORACLE-CONSTRAINT_STATE RDM/INDEX_PARTITION RDM/REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINT is used as the namespace for: RDM/FOREIGN_KEY_COLUMN RDM/CHECK_CONSTRAINT is used as the namespace for: RDM/ORACLE-CONSTRAINT_STATE RDM/VIEW is used as namespace for: RDM/COLUMN RDM/ORACLE-TABLESPACE is used as the namespace for: RDM/ORACLE-PHYSICAL_FILE RDM/ORACLE-DATABASE is used as the namespace for: RDM/ORACLE-LOGFILE_GROUP 2.3 RDABUS handling about item type deletion 3 Compatibility RDABUS using XNS works as follows: All items (dependent and independent) are deleted from Rochade, if they are not longer contained within the uploaded RDA Model. Modeling Tool Versions supported: IBM Rational Data Architect 6.1 to 7.5 and IBM InfoSphere Data Architect to 9.0. Manufacturer: IBM This version of RDABUS works with applications that are based on CDM-RIM 1.53 and RDM-RIM 1.24 (or higher). 3

4 4 Changes Version LDM Batch export added: - IDA Plugin com.reischmann.toolbus.ida.ldm.rdabus.exporter - RDABUS File Upload program: RDABUS_LDM_BATCH_ULPOAD.EXE New CDM RIM 1.53 required New RDM RIM 1.24 required Version New Version of IDA 7.6 LDM export plugin used. Additional Attributes uploaded from IDA to ROCHADE: - IDA Label mapped to CDM/CALLED-IN-PHYSICAL - IDA Annotation / Note1 mapped to DESCRIPTION - IDA values used for CDM/CASE-DATA-TYPE of CDM/ATTRIBUTE Additional Link uploaded from IDA to ROCHADE: - CDM/HAS-PARENT-ATTRTYPE for CDM/ATTRIBUTE of Subentities Version Support for IBM InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA) 7.6. New CDM RIM 1.51 used. New RDM RIM 1.22 used. Version Support for IBM InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA) Version RDABUS is a new Bus interface between the ASG-Rochade Repository and Rational Data Architect (RDA). 4

5 5 Installation Instructions Installation Prerequisites for RDABUS Note: Every single BUS has to be installed in a separate subdirectory. Prerequisite for RDABUS is that the BUS will be installed in a separate subdirectory (e.g. C:\Rochade\RDABUS). Application based on CDM-RIM and RDM-RIM RDABUS works with the CDM-RIM 1.51 and RDM-RIM 1.22 (or higher). To install the CDM-RIM, please call the ADM installation first (NT/Unix/...), and then the Application installation. You may also import the CDM-RIM from the..\rdabus\rochade\cdm-rim and..\rdabus\rochade\rdm-rim subdirectories of the RDABUS installation subdirectory (e.g. C:\Rochade\RDABUS). After the ADM installation and Application installation for RDABUS, you have to generate the CDM-RIM and create an application based on that RIM. If your Rochade contains already an application based on CDM-RIM of a lower version and you want to use this application with RDABUS, then this application has to be reorganized. Please also check if all item types of your application are activated (via Update View in the AutoPilot Application Administration). 5.1 System Requirements During installation you temporarily need about 5 MB of free disk space. Software Requirements - Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 Windows Server R2 - Rochade Client 7.0 (or higher) - Rochade Java API corresponding to your Rochade version - Rochade API DLLs corresponding to your Rochade version - A subject area based on CDM RIM 1.51 (or higher) or RDM-RIM 1.22 (or higher) with Tree-like Structure ON - Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 or higher You can download MSXML from - The required ROCHBUS components are included in this ABIBUS package 5

6 5.2 Installation Rochade applications, such as RDABUS, are installed in two steps, the ADM installation and the Application installation. The ADM installation requires that you have Operator or Administrator rights; hence this installation should be carried out by a system or database administrator. RDABUS is not yet available to the end user after the ADM installation. The application installation installs RDABUS on the local computer. This includes copying all the required programs and libraries to the local directories, as well as setting up the installation program for applications. The only prerequisite is that the applications have been installed in the administration environment. After the Application installation has been completed, RDABUS is available to the end user. To start ADM installation 1. Double-click the icon of your Rochade ADM installation (ADM icon) for starting the ADM installation. 2. In the subsequent dialog select RDABUS. To start Application installation 1. Double-click the icon of your Rochade Application installation (Application icon) for starting the application installation. 2. In the subsequent dialog select RDABUS. Remark: RDABUS can also be installed and executed from a File Server. A default target directory is suggested, but you may choose a different directory if you wish. The installation directory will be created, and all necessary files will be copied into this directory. An RDABUS icon will be created in the ROCHBUS folder. Note: Customization of the TOOLBUS interface is described in the ASG-Rochade Bus for Rational Data Architect User's Guide. 5.3 Starting and Using RDABUS Starting and using RDABUS is described in the ASG-Rochade Bus for Rational Data Architect User's Guide. 5.4 Installing, Starting and Using the Eclipse Plugin for RDABUS Installing, starting and using the Eclipse Plugins for RDABUS is described in the ASG- Rochade Bus for Rational Data Architect User's Guide. 6
