PREEvision 6.5 SP11 1.2 Installation and compatibility information Reference: For detailed information about the installation and compatibility of PREEvision 6.5, refer to PREEvision 6.5 - Installation and compatibility information. Migration to PREEvision 6.5.11 Caution: When using PREEvision 6.5.10 or older releases of PREEvision, Vector identified the risk of unintended delete actions and successive loss of modeling data under certain prerequisites. The risk only exists when working with the PREEvision 2-tier Collaboration Platform and when PREEvision clients with different licenses (e.g. PREEvision Architect and PREEvision Electric Designer) are accessing the same project. The risk also exists when a roles and rights concept is defined in the PREEvision authority model and used. The issue has been corrected in PREEvision 6.5.11 (see issue 1792049819824 in chapter Fixed issues). Vector strongly recommends to all customers to migrate to PREEvision 6.5.11 when the above mentioned circumstances are given and to contact the Vector support if necessary. Migration to PREEvision 7.0 2-tier database server version 2.0.14 PREEvision 6.5 SP11 should be used for migrating to PREEvision 7.0. With PREEvision 6.5 SP9 a new version of the 2-tier database server script is available (version 2.0.14). Existing 2-tier database servers must be updated to version 2.0.14. The following table shows the compatibility between the different PREEvision client and database server versions: Client version Database server version 5.5 (2.0.10) Database server version 6.0/6.5 (2.0.13) Database server version 6.5 (2.0.14) 5.0.x read-only read-only read-only 5.5.x compatible compatible compatible 6.0.x not compatible compatible compatible 6.5.0-6.5.8 not compatible compatible compatible from 6.5.9 not compatible not compatible compatible Note: The PREEvision 6.5 Manual and Operating Manual are no longer up-to-date regarding the new 2-tier database server version and compatible client and database server versions. Installation of Visual C++ 2010 during client installation During PREEvision client installation, Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable is automatically installed. If Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable is already installed on the computer, a dialog will be displayed asking the user whether to reset or uninstall the existing installation. In this case, select the option to reset Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable to its original state. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-9 -
PREEvision 6.5 SP11 Database access rights Restore parameters Migration to a 3-tier environment The database access right QUERY REWRITE is no longer required for installing and running the PREEvision database server. The following client/server parameters no longer have to be set for restore/migration: > -DenableDummyFileCreation > -DdisableCheckinChecks For a restore, required parameters are automatically set on the server now. For a migration from PREEvision 5.5/6.0 to a PREEvision 6.5 3-tier environment, first, carry out a 2-tier to 2-tier migration to PREEvision 6.5. Afterwards, migrate to the new 3-tier environment using backup and restore. For migration, a separate environment is required including a separate database instance. Reference: For detailed information about the migration, refer to the Operating Manual. Update of 3-tier environments In a 3-tier environment, the PREEvision client, the database server and the PREEvision application on the application server are only compatible within exactly the same version. Using a new client version on a previous server version or a previous client version on a new server version is not supported and may lead to data inconsistencies or data loss. The following table shows compatible client, server application and database server script versions for specific PREEvision 6.5 versions: Client version Server application version 6.5.0 6.5.0 6.5.0.24 6.5.1 6.5.1 6.5.1.3 6.5.2 6.5.2 6.5.1.3 6.5.3 6.5.3 6.5.1.3 6.5.4 6.5.4 6.5.1.3 6.5.5 6.5.5 6.5.5.0 6.5.6 6.5.6 6.5.6.0 6.5.7 6.5.7 6.5.6.0 Database server script version 6.5.8 6.5.8 6.5.6.0 6.5.6.1 (update is optional; installation script for Linux fixed) 6.5.9 6.5.9 6.5.6.0 6.5.6.1 (update is optional; installation script for Linux fixed) 6.5.11 6.5.11 6.5.6.0 6.5.6.1 (update is optional; installation script for Linux fixed) - 10 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH
PREEvision 6.5 SP11 For an update of an existing 3-tier environment, all components with a changed version number must be updated, which may include the: > PREEvision client > PREEvision database server script > PREEvision application on the application server Reference: For detailed instructions on how to update a 3-tier environment, refer to the Operating Manual. Execution of LibreOffice managed by PREEvision Installation of LibreOffice dictionaries To apply to internal IT guidelines, the execution of LibreOffice is now managed by PREEvision only. Users are no longer able to separately start LibreOffice without PREEvision running. Additionally, the installation path of the LibreOffice installation integrated in PREEvision is read-only. The described changes only apply to the LibreOffice installation integrated in PREEvision, external LibreOffice installations remain unchanged. LibreOffice is integrated in the PREEvision client for editing formatted texts and report templates. To enable the LibreOffice spell check, a dictionary with the corresponding language is required. The dictionaries (LibreOfficeExtensions_v403.zip) now have to be separately installed into the PREEvision installation directory after the PREEvision client installation: Reference: For detailed information, refer to the Operating Manual.

PREEvision 6.5 SP11 1.3 Fixed issues Fixed issues in PREEvision 6.5 SP11 You will find the important fixed issues in the following table. Please note that some issues are depending on specific configurations, views or models. 1791675642687 The model import does not abort when new UUIDs are generated. 1792029548454 The NullPointerException which occurred when opening the property page Mappings for ECUs does not occur any more. 1792034188454 It is now possible to open the LibreOffice editor for rich texts of attributes of checked in artifacts. The LibreOffice editor can be opened via <Ctrl+O>. Additionally, a corresponding button to open the editor is also available in the attribute cells of table based editors. 1791679948454 A lock is possible, if another user has locked several sub packages, which are reused in the main package. 1792049819824 A commit after tree lock of a parent of a not visible artifact does not delete the artifact any more. 1791682668454 The error that caused the loss of formatting in generated reports under certain circumstances has been fixed. 1791679892687 The actual problem occurred in the backup and restore of 6.5.9. The problem was fixed with the following backup and restore scenario: Backup 6.5.10 2-tier. Restore with 6.5.10 3-tier works properly. The subsequent backup 6.5.10 3-tier also works properly.

PREEvision 6.5 SP11 1.4 Known issues Formatted text field cannot be edited Borders of diagrams and tables in a report are not correctly printed (1715978292643) Artifacts referenced by a placeholder in a report are not automatically selected (34777, 1774840069822) Software composition types cannot be changed via custom model import (1782615368223) Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type creates illegal model state (1774840030000) "Update Reuse Unit" is only possible if latest version is contained in the model (1774844322645) Backup requires increased hard disk space (1790491522658) Delete action not available (1791307788454) Sporadically, a formatted text field will not be properly enabled for editing after clicking into it. Workaround: Click again into the formatted text field. Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Workaround: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. For generated reports, automatic selection of artifacts in the Model View has been disabled due to an error in LibreOffice. When clicking on a placeholder in a report, the selection is not automatically updated. Workaround: In the report toolbar, click the Select artifact at placeholder button to select the associated artifact in the Model View. The custom model import does not work when an existing software composition type of the target model shall be changed by the import (e.g. by adding a new software prototype). In this case, the import is aborted with an error message. Workaround: Perform a complete model import which creates new UUIDs for the imported artifacts. Manually merge the relevant changes from the imported data into the existing software composition type. Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type from the Library to a Logical Function creates an illegal model state. A dependently versioned artifact is created with different revision information than its parent. Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. The Update Reuse Unit action is aborted with an error message, if the latest version of the Reuse Unit is not contained in the current model. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. Creating a project backup of a multi-user project requires significantly increased hard disk space. In addition to the backup directory, the "richtexts" directory within the PREEvision workspace allocates a lot of space. The hard disk space is allocated during backup creation only. After completing backup creation and closing the client, the allocated hard disk space is released. Workaround: Provide sufficient hard disk space. Sporadically, the Delete action is no longer available in the shortcut menu and cannot be executed via shortcut. Workaround: Restart the PREEvision client.

Workaround: Click again into the formatted text field. Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Workaround: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. For generated reports, automatic selection of artifacts in the Model View has been disabled due to an error in LibreOffice. When clicking on a placeholder in a report, the selection is not automatically updated. Workaround: In the report toolbar, click the Select artifact at placeholder button to select the associated artifact in the Model View. The custom model import does not work when an existing software composition type of the target model shall be changed by the import (e.g. by adding a new software prototype). In this case, the import is aborted with an error message. Workaround: Perform a complete model import which creates new UUIDs for the imported artifacts. Manually merge the relevant changes from the imported data into the existing software composition type. Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type from the Library to a Logical Function creates an illegal model state. A dependently versioned artifact is created with different revision information than its parent. Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. The Update Reuse Unit action is aborted with an error message, if the latest version of the Reuse Unit is not contained in the current model. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. Creating a project backup of a multi-user project requires significantly increased hard disk space. In addition to the backup directory, the "richtexts" directory within the PREEvision workspace allocates a lot of space. The hard disk space is allocated during backup creation only. After completing backup creation and closing the client, the allocated hard disk space is released. Workaround: Provide sufficient hard disk space. Sporadically, the Delete action is no longer available in the shortcut menu and cannot be executed via shortcut. Workaround: Restart the PREEvision client. - 26 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH

In this case, select the option to reset Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable to its original state. The database access right QUERY REWRITE is no longer required for installing and running the PREEvision database server. The following client/server parameters no longer have to be set for restore/migration: > -DenableDummyFileCreation > -DdisableCheckinChecks For a restore, required parameters are automatically set on the server now. For a migration from PREEvision 5.5/6.0 to a PREEvision 6.5 3-tier environment, first, carry out a 2-tier to 2-tier migration to PREEvision 6.5. Afterwards, migrate to the new 3-tier environment using backup and restore. For migration, a separate environment is required including a separate database instance. Reference: For detailed information about the migration, refer to the Operating Manual. Update of 3-tier environments to 6.5 SP8 In a 3-tier environment, the PREEvision client, the database server and the PREEvision application on the application server are only compatible within exactly the same version.

Manually merge the relevant changes from the imported data into the existing software composition type. Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type from the Library to a Logical Function creates an illegal model state. A dependently versioned artifact is created with different revision information than its parent. Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. The Update Reuse Unit action is aborted with an error message, if the latest version of the Reuse Unit is not contained in the current model. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. Creating a project backup of a multi-user project requires significantly increased hard disk space. In addition to the backup directory, the "richtexts" directory within the PREEvision workspace allocates a lot of space. The hard disk space is allocated during backup creation only. After completing backup creation and closing the client, the allocated hard disk space is released. Workaround: Provide sufficient hard disk space. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-47 -

Database access rights Restore parameters Migration to a 3-tier environment The database access right QUERY REWRITE is no longer required for installing and running the PREEvision database server. The following client/server parameters no longer have to be set for restore/migration: > -DenableDummyFileCreation > -DdisableCheckinChecks For a restore, required parameters are automatically set on the server now. For a migration from PREEvision 5.5/6.0 to a PREEvision 6.5 3-tier environment, first, carry out a 2-tier to 2-tier migration to PREEvision 6.5. Afterwards, migrate to the new 3-tier environment using backup and restore. For migration, a separate environment is required including a separate database instance. Reference: For detailed information about the migration, refer to the Operating Manual. Update of 3-tier environments to 6.5 SP5 In a 3-tier environment, the PREEvision client, the database server and the PREEvision application on the application server are only compatible within exactly the same version. Using a new client version on a previous server version or a previous client version on a new server version is not supported and may lead to data inconsistencies or data loss. The following table shows compatible client, server application and database server script versions for specific PREEvision 6.5 versions: Client version Server application version 6.5.0 6.5.0 6.5.0.24 6.5.1 6.5.1 6.5.1.3 6.5.2 6.5.2 6.5.1.3 6.5.3 6.5.3 6.5.1.3 6.5.4 6.5.4 6.5.1.3 6.5.5 6.5.5 6.5.5.0 Database server script version For an update of an existing 3-tier environment, all components with a changed version number must be updated, which may include the: > PREEvision client > PREEvision database server script > PREEvision application on the application server Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-51 -

Execution of LibreOffice managed by PREEvision Installation of LibreOffice dictionaries To apply to internal IT guidelines, the execution of LibreOffice is now managed by PREEvision only. Users are no longer able to separately start LibreOffice without PREEvision running. Additionally, the installation path of the LibreOffice installation integrated in PREEvision is read-only. The described changes only apply to the LibreOffice installation integrated in PREEvision, external LibreOffice installations remain unchanged. LibreOffice is integrated in the PREEvision client for editing formatted texts and report templates. To enable the LibreOffice spell check, a dictionary with the corresponding language is required. The dictionaries (LibreOfficeExtensions_v403.zip) now have to be separately installed into the PREEvision installation directory after the PREEvision client installation: Reference: For detailed information, refer to the Operating Manual. - 52 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH
PREEvision 6.5 SP5 6.3 Changes LibreOffice documents incompatible to Microsoft Word In PREEvision an integrated LibreOffice editor is used for editing formatted texts and generating reports. If a document which was created in LibreOffice is opened in Microsoft Word, its presentation may be incorrectly changed or it might not be possible to open the document. This applies to ODT documents as well as to documents stored in DOC format via LibreOffice. To avoid possible incompatibilities, ODT files created with PREEvision shall only be opened or edited with LibreOffice. Additionally, PREEvision no longer supports to create Word documents (DOC). Therefore, the following changes have been implemented: > The menu item Save As... has been removed from the main menu of the LibreOffice editor. > The *.doc format can no longer be selected during report generation. > The file extension "doc" can no longer be set as "savetype" for the Report Executor metric block. Note: The documentation for generating reports as well as for the Report Executor block are currently outdated in the PREEvision manual and do not contain the restrictions mentioned above.

PREEvision 6.5 SP4 7.4 Known issues Double click does not open the standard editor Formatted text field cannot be edited Borders of diagrams and tables in a report are not correctly printed (1715978292643) Artifacts referenced by a placeholder in a report are not automatically selected (34777, 1774840069822) Software composition types cannot be changed via custom model import (1782615368223) Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type creates illegal model state (1774840030000) "Update Reuse Unit" is only possible if latest version is contained in the model (1774844322645) Backup requires increased hard disk space (1790491522658) Sporadically, double clicking on an artifact may not open the defined standard editor. For example, instead of a table, diagram or report template, the form editor is always opened. Workaround: Keep <CTRL> pressed and double click again. Afterwards, double click again. <CTRL> and double click opens the form editor. Afterwards, a double click correctly opens the standard editor. Sporadically, a formatted text field will not be properly enabled for editing after clicking into it. Workaround: Click again into the formatted text field. Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Workaround: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. For generated reports, automatic selection of artifacts in the Model View has been disabled due to an error in LibreOffice. When clicking on a placeholder in a report, the selection is not automatically updated. Workaround: In the report toolbar, click the Select artifact at placeholder button to select the associated artifact in the Model View. The custom model import does not work when an existing software composition type of the target model shall be changed by the import (e.g. by adding a new software prototype). In this case, the import is aborted with an error message. Workaround: Perform a complete model import which creates new UUIDs for the imported artifacts. Manually merge the relevant changes from the imported data into the existing software composition type. Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type from the Library to a Logical Function creates an illegal model state. A dependently versioned artifact is created with different revision information than its parent. Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. The Update Reuse Unit action is aborted with an error message, if the latest version of the Reuse Unit is not contained in the current model. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. Creating a project backup of a multi-user project requires significantly increased hard disk space. In addition to the backup directory, the "richtexts" directory within the PREEvision workspace allocates a lot of space. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-71 -
PREEvision 6.5 SP4 The hard disk space is allocated during backup creation only. After completing backup creation and closing the client, the allocated hard disk space is released. Workaround: Provide sufficient hard disk space. - 72 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH

PREEvision 6.5 SP2 9.5 Known issues Double click does not open the standard editor Formatted text field cannot be edited Borders of diagrams and tables in a report are not correctly printed (1715978292643) Artifacts referenced by a placeholder in a report are not automatically selected (34777, 1774840069822) Software composition types cannot be changed via custom model import (1782615368223) Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type creates illegal model state (1774840030000) "Update Reuse Unit" is only possible if latest version is contained in the model (1774844322645) Sporadically, double clicking on an artifact may not open the defined standard editor. For example, instead of a table, diagram or report template, the form editor is always opened. Workaround: Keep <CTRL> pressed and double click again. Afterwards, double click again. <CTRL> and double click opens the form editor. Afterwards, a double click correctly opens the standard editor. Sporadically, a formatted text field will not be properly enabled for editing after clicking into it. Workaround: Click again into the formatted text field. Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Workaround: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. For generated reports, automatic selection of artifacts in the Model View has been disabled due to an error in LibreOffice. When clicking on a placeholder in a report, the selection is not automatically updated. Workaround: In the report toolbar, click the Select artifact at placeholder button to select the associated artifact in the Model View. The custom model import does not work when an existing software composition type of the target model shall be changed by the import (e.g. by adding a new software prototype). In this case, the import is aborted with an error message. Workaround: Perform a complete model import which creates new UUIDs for the imported artifacts. Manually merge the relevant changes from the imported data into the existing software composition type. Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type from the Library to a Logical Function creates an illegal model state. A dependently versioned artifact is created with different revision information than its parent. Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. The Update Reuse Unit action is aborted with an error message, if the latest version of the Reuse Unit is not contained in the current model. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. - 98 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH

In this case, select the option to reset Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable to its original state. For an update of a multi-user environment from PREEvision 6.5 to 6.5 SP1, the authority model must be reinitialized. Therefore, proceed just as usual for a migration: 1. Export the latest version of the existing authority model. 2. Initialize a new authority model with PREEvision 6.5 SP1. 3. Merge customer-specific changes from the PREEvision 6.5 backup into the newly initialized authority model. Reference: For detailed information about the migration of the authority model, refer to the Operating Manual. Update of 3-tier environments to 6.5 SP1 In a 3-tier environment, the PREEvision client, the database server and the PREEvision application on the application server are only compatible within exactly the same version. Using a new client version on a previous server version or a previous client version on a new server version is not supported and may lead to data inconsistencies or data loss.

PREEvision 6.5 SP1 10.5 Known issues Perspective configurations are missing/defective after migration (1776954442658, 1778004672658) Double click does not open the standard editor Formatted text field cannot be edited Borders of diagrams and tables in a report are not correctly printed (1715978292643) Initialize current model with default setup requires parent package (1774831442676) Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type creates illegal model state (1774840030000) When migrating a 2-tier model without files (files are excluded from the backup), perspective configuration files are not automatically added to the model during migration. When migrating with files (files are included in the backup), the perspective configuration files added during migration are partly defective. Workaround: After the migration: 1. Load the latest model version of the migrated model. 2. Delete all existing contents from the Administration Perspective Configuration Model (if available). 3. Use Administration Initialize current model with default setup and select the Perspective Configuration Model to be merged with the current model. Sporadically, double clicking on an artifact may not open the defined standard editor. For example, instead of a table, diagram or report template, the form editor is always opened. Workaround: Keep <CTRL> pressed and double click again. Afterwards, double click again. <CTRL> and double click opens the form editor. Afterwards, a double click correctly opens the standard editor. Sporadically, a formatted text field will not be properly enabled for editing after clicking into it. Workaround: Click again into the formatted text field. Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Workaround: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. When selecting a specific package to be initialized with the default setup, the same package has to be already available in the current model. Otherwise, the contents will not be merged. For example, selecting only the "Compare Configurations" package to be integrated in the model does only work, if the "Compare Configurations" package is already available in the current model. Workaround: Manually create the parent packages of the items to be integrated. Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type from the Library to a Logical Function creates an illegal model state. A dependently versioned artifact is created with different revision information than its parent. Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. - 116 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH
PREEvision 6.5 SP1 "Update Reuse Unit" is only possible if latest version is contained in the model (1774844322645) Highlighting is lost when clicking on the diagram palette (1774855790452) Type change makes replace from history impossible (1775905862680) Diagram layout is not correctly copied for rotated devices Viewer licenses cannot change table column widths The Update Reuse Unit action is aborted with an error message, if the latest version of the Reuse Unit is not contained in the current model. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. The highlighting for a selected artifact is lost when clicking on the diagram palette. The problem occurs in the Geometry Diagram and in the Wiring Diagram. Workaround: Select the artifact in the Model View or the Favorites and pin the view. Replacing a version with a version from its history is not possible if the artifact type has been changed, e.g. from ECU to Sensor. Workaround: Instead of a type change, create a new artifact. Copying a diagram layout into another diagram does not work correctly for rotated devices. Workaround: Manually adjust the diagram layout. When working with a viewer license, table column widths cannot be changed. When opening tables, the column width may not be changed either through dragging the separator with the mouse nor setting the width explicitly in the Property View.

PREEvision 6.5 11.2 Installation and compatibility information Compatibility 2-tier environments: The following table shows the compatibility between the different PREEvision client and database server versions: Client version Database server version 5.5 (2.0.10) Database server version 6.0/6.5 (2.0.13) Database server version 6.5 (2.0.14) 5.0.x read-only read-only read-only 5.5.x compatible compatible compatible 6.0.x not compatible compatible compatible 6.5.0-6.5.8 not compatible compatible compatible from 6.5.9 not compatible not compatible compatible 3-tier environments: In a 3-tier environment, the PREEvision client, the database server and the PREEvision application on the application server are only compatible within the same PREEvision version. The following table shows compatible client, server application and database server script versions for specific PREEvision 6.5 versions: Client version Server application version 6.5.0 6.5.0 6.5.0.24 Database server script version 3-tier Collaboration Platform The PREEvision Collaboration Platform is now available as 3-tier environment. Reference: For detailed information about the installation of the 3-tier environment and for migrating from 2-tier to 3-tier, refer to the Operating Manual. Reinitializing the authority model For an update of a multi-user environment from the PREEvision 6.5 release to any PREEvision 6.5 service pack, the authority model must be reinitialized. Therefore, proceed just as usual for a migration: 1. Export the latest version of the existing authority model. 2. Initialize a new authority model with PREEvision 6.5 SP. 3. Merge customer-specific changes from the PREEvision 6.5 backup into the newly initialized authority model. Reference: For detailed information about the migration of the authority model, refer to the Operating Manual. Licenses and license server For PREEvision 6.5, new licenses are required. With PREEvision 6.5, a new version (2.0.0) of the PREEvision license server is available. It is recommended to update existing license servers to version 2.0.0. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-121 -
PREEvision 6.5 PREEvision database server: Oracle clusters (RAC) are not supported PREEvision workspace and PREEvision.ini Operating system: character set Oracle clusters (RAC) are not supported. Existing workspaces from earlier PREEvision versions cannot be reused for PREEvision 6.5. Overwriting the PREEvision.ini is not allowed as well. Please do use an operating system with a full character set of your language. For example, in order to support Japanese in PREEvision, the Japanese operating system has to be installed. An English operating system with Japanese character set might not support all characters. As a consequence, this may result in displaying wrong characters in PREEvision. - 122 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH
PREEvision 6.5 11.3 New features Collaboration Platform as 3-tier environment PREEvision Collaboration Platform is available as 3-tier environment, now. The 3-tier platform contains all features of the current 2-tier platform and provides the following new and additional features: > Branches: Branches are available to check out a historic artifact revision to start a parallel development line. Branches can be created during check-out on the basis of any artifact version. In the Check-out dialog the user defines whether a new development line for an artifact shall be started by creating a new branch. Branches are visible in the Model View, the Version History and the Property View. > Search in history: The search option Current and historic model versions is available. In the search result view, historic artifacts are indicated by a grey font color. The column Model version provides the corresponding model version. A historic artifact version can be inserted in the current model as new artifact or as reuse. > Life cycle history: On the Lifecycle property page, an additional life cycle History table is available. The life cycle history displays all life cycle state changes an artifact has passed through during its life cycle. > Subversion integration: File handling in PREEvision s 3-tier environment is now supported by the open source revision control system Subversion (SVN). Working copies of file structures can be created which improves the handling of large file structures and provides the base functionality for several use cases, for example test data management. > Middleware license server (optional): Server licenses can be managed in the integrated middleware license server. Alternatively, node-locked licenses can be used. Automatic locking With PREEvision 6.5, an automatic locking concept has been introduced. The user can now directly start editing or start an action without prior locking. This works for all actions in PREEvision including diagrams and shared locks. With the automatic lock handling, lock conflicts can be reduced, since only the minimum required locks are determined and obtained. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-123 -
PREEvision 6.5 AUTOSAR AUTOSAR 4 compliant data types as well as communication parameters are available in PREEvision. Additionally, the modeling of partial networking is supported. With the AUTOSAR use case, PREEvision is part of the Vector AUTOSAR Solution and the exchange workflow with DaVinci Developer and DaVinci Configurator Pro is possible. LIN bus communication LDF 2.0 import and export is now available. A schedule design for LIN communication can now be modeled. - 124 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH
PREEvision 6.5 Use case oriented perspectives PREEvision now starts with a cockpit view on the user interface. The cockpit provides use case oriented entry points into PREEvision. With just a few clicks you reach the user interface that is available for your use case. An expert mode is also available that corresponds to the former PREEvision E/E standard perspective. With the help of Model View and Property View filters, perspectives can be customized to display only the artifacts relevant for the use case and keep the user interface clearly arranged. Electric details in wiring harness The following features have been introduces regarding hardware modeling: > Internal hardware components and electric details can also be modeled in the Electric Circuit Diagram and the Wiring Diagram, now. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-125 -
PREEvision 6.5 > With the Copy Layout function, completely modeled hardware components (including internal components) can be comfortably copied from one to another hardware layer. > In the Electric Circuit Diagram, the current path can now be populated. > The wiring harness synthesis can now be executed without creating splices. Specification of diagnostic requirements PREEvision supports the specification of diagnostics master-slave systems with diagnostic-specific attributes. > Use of PREEvision Network Diagram to model diagnostic relevant information as overview. > Extended modeling of diagnostic relevant information in PREEvision (diagnostic classification, DTCs, measurement signals, controls). > Export to CANdela and complementation of diagnostic specification in CANdela Test data management PREEvision can now be combined with vtestcenter for test and test data management: Testing phases with bi-directional traceability between artifacts: > Requirements management > Test engineering > Test implementation: Automated tests and test lists for manual execution > Test execution planning > Test execution documentation import and archiving Analysis and reporting (graphical and table form) > Metrics, requirements coverage, test progress, etc. - 126 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH
PREEvision 6.5 Usability improvements for diagrams Usability improvements for the property view Several usability improvements have been implemented in diagrams, especially for move and resize actions as well as for the alignment of labels. In the Property View, the following usability improvements have been implemented: > Recently changed property pages are now highlighted with bold font color. > The LibreOffice editor can now be opened by clicking on the Description label. > A navigation bar at the top of the Property View displays the parent hierarchy of the currently selected artifact and can be used to navigate to any artifact within the hierarchy. Usability improvements for drag and drop operations (Assistance view) An Assistance View is now available to support drag and drop operations. Depending on the currently selected drag and drop target, the Assistance View displays artifacts suitable for the drag and drop operation. The Assistance View is automatically loaded when clicking on a Property View table or a table editor to which artifacts can be added. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP11-127 -
PREEvision 6.5 Compare of artifacts Software architecture Safety features The compare functionality has been revised and now supports to compare model parts. The compare can now be started from the shortcut menu via the following items: > Select as left side for compare > Compare with <artifact> > Compare with each other (if two artifacts are selected) The shortcut menu items are available in the Model View, Version/Commit History and in tables. The compare algorithm now considers reuses, files and formatted text. Additionally, configurations for the compare function can be created to determine the artifacts, attributes and relations to be compared. The compare result is now displayed in a double-tree editor and can be exported to Excel. The software architecture layer has been optimized and aligned with the AUTOSAR standard. Using a library-based approach according to AUTOSAR, it is now possible to work with types and prototypes in the Library. Additionally, the instance-based approach is supported as well. Therefore, it is now possible to work directly with software instances in the System Software while the associated (proto-) types are automatically synchronized in the Library. By these changes, the memory consumption of the complete software architecture layer has been reduced and the usability has been improved for AUTOSAR users. In PREEvision 6.5, malfunction mapping has been introduced, allowing EEarchitecture artifacts to be annotated (mapped) with malfunctions. Malfunctions carry safety-relevant constraints such as the failure rate which allows a quantitative safety approach on the annotated artifacts. PREEvision provides a safety characteristics library to create a catalogue of malfunctions which fit to the respective level of modeling. - 128 - Version 6.5 SP11 Vector Informatik GmbH
