PREEvision 7.5 SP5 1.2 Installation and compatibility information Reference: For detailed information about the installation and compatibility of PREEvision 7.5 in general, refer to PREEvision 7.5 - Installation and compatibility information. New Java version Update of 3-tier environments Java 1.8.0_74 is now provided with the PREEvision client installation. Existing application server runtimes should also be updated to Java version 1.8.0_74. 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 PREEvision 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 7.5 versions: Client version Server application version Database server script version 7.5.0 7.5.0 7.5.0.27 7.5.1 7.5.1 7.5.0.27 7.5.2 7.5.2 7.5.2.00 7.5.3 7.5.3 7.5.3.00 7.5.4 7.5.4 7.5.3.00 7.5.5 7.5.5 7.5.5.02 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. Further information > Installation and compatibility information Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 8
PREEvision 7.5 SP5 1.3 New features KBL import and export using metrics The import or export of KBL files can now be started via metrics. Therefore, a KBL Import Block and a KBL Export Block are available. This allows the simple execution of a series of exports or imports and also the automation without user interaction. Synchronize lightweight enumeration attribute values across reuses The attribute values of lightweight custom attributes of data type Application Enumeration are now kept synchronous across reuses. An event-triggered metric ensures that the attribute values are identical for all reuses. Therefore, the metric "simulates" a typeof relation between the attribute value of the enumeration and the enumeration literal defined in the data type. The metric is only executed if the respective artifact is changed. If the attribute value is not identical for all reuses, the metric aligns the values and sets the value that was changed last as attribute value for all reuses. Caution: The Metric Executor EnumEntrySync is contained in the demo and initialization model under Administration Metrics Utilities EnumEntrySync Metric Package and must be initialized via Factory Reset or manually integrated.

Backup/restore and migration The following migration paths from PREEvision 7.0 to PREEvision 7.5 are supported with the mentioned restrictions: 2-tier to 2-tier migration from PREEvision 7.0 to 7.5 > without history (migration of latest model version only) 2-tier to 3-tier migration from PREEvision 7.0 to 7.5: > without history (migration of latest model version only) > must be carried out in two steps: 1. Technology change from 2-tier to 3-tier must be performed first (on PREEvision 7.0) 2. Afterwards, data migration from PREEvision 7.0 to 7.5 can be performed. 3-tier to 3-tier migration from PREEvision 7.0 to 7.5: > with or without history possible > improved performance of history migration Backup of 2-tier models from PREEvision 7.5 and restore to PREEvision 7.5 is only supported without history (last model version only). For backup/restore including history use a database dump instead. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 57
PREEvision 7.5 Caution: Please contact the Vector support for getting information about: > the appropriate migration procedure if you are planning to migrate to a new PREEvision version. > the appropriate migration procedure if you are planning to switch the system from 2-tier to 3-tier > which PREEvision version shall be used for valid backup and restore. Compatibility 2-tier environments: The following table shows compatible client and database server script versions for specific PREEvision versions: Client version Database server version 5.5 (2.0.10) Database server version 6.0/6.5/7.0 (2.0.13) 5.0.x read-only read-only read-only Database server version 6.5/7.0/7.5 (2.0.14) 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 7.0.0-7.0.2 not compatible compatible compatible from 7.0.3 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 exactly the same PREEvision 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. Client version Server application version Database server script version 7.5.0 7.5.0 7.5.0.27 Licenses and license server PREEvision workspace and PREEvision.ini Operating system: character set For PREEvision 7.5, new licenses are required. Existing workspaces from earlier PREEvision versions cannot be reused for PREEvision 7.5. 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.

PREEvision 7.5 6.3 New features Further information > Feature highlights > Requirements engineering > software, system and communication design > Communication design > Wiring harness design > Design of safety relevant systems > Product line engineering > > Usability improvements > Administration 6.3.1 Complete support of Software Component Template Feature highlights PREEvision now fully supports the Software Component Template. Missing event types and artifacts to model internal behavior of software components have been added. Further new features are: > Import and export for 4.2.1 > Customizable export of extracts beyond ECU and system extract, e.g. for bus or communication based extracts > Extended consistency checks for compliant modeling CAN Design according to SAE J1939 PREEvision supports the network protocol SAE J1939 for commercial vehicles including ISOBUS 11783 for forestry or agricultural tractors and implements. J1939 allows easy integration of tractors with engines, transmissions and implements. ISOBUS 11783 supports a unified and easy control of the additional equipment from the cockpit of the tractor. PREEvision is now ready to model and manage the increasing communication complexity of commercial vehicles: Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 59
PREEvision 7.5 > Import and export of J1939 designs via DBC and > Extended multiplexing for CAN > Modeling of controller applications > compliant software and hardware network design > Dedicated editors Custom attributes PREEvision offers a new concept for customizable attributes. The former concept of different attributes for different layers with e.g. requirement attributes, diagnostic attributes or attributes for tests and tickets is replaced by this new concept, which is applicable in every layer. If there is an attribute missing for a special purpose, just one attribute for this demand can be created. The appearance and presentation of the new attributes in the property editor can be defined in an easy way. With this concept it is also possible to implement Special Data Groups (SDGs) including support of import and export. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 60
PREEvision 7.5 Additionally, custom attributes are supported for the DBC and KBL import and export. Change marker When working in the team it is crucial to be aware of any changes that were made by other team members or outside partners. The new change marker concept allows the easy and reliable identification of any changes made during development. No matter if an attribute, a value, a relation or even a hidden artifact has been changed. The change marker is a delta icon that is shown in the Model View, Property View and in tables. The change marker can easily be removed, either manually by the user or automatically via life cycle change or check-in. A change history is available for detailed information of the changes and offers a possibility to compare formatted texts. The benefits of the change marker at a glance: > Reliable tracking of all the changes made in the model > Fast and reliable identification of all the changes made in the model > Easier cooperation between OEM and supplier > Easy removing of change markers Scratchpad and merge The scratchpad is a safe working environment stored in the PREEvision database to find new solutions, because all the work done in the scratchpad is not immediately integrated into the bigger model context. In the scratchpad new artifacts can be designed and existing artifacts can be redesigned as copy or branch. The benefits of the scratchpad at a glance: > Fast and easy drag and drop to start sketching out ideas > Safe working environment to find new solutions > Easy merging of artifacts created in the scratchpad back to the model Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 61
PREEvision 7.5 After finishing the design in the scratchpad the artifacts can be integrated into the bigger model context with the new merge functions. The new merge operation considers identities, attributes, relations and child artifacts and support six different merge strategies. Partial model support The partial model support of PREEvision provides a tailored view showing only dedicated parts of the entire PREEvision database model to the user. The model parts of interest are defined in the Scope Definition Perspective and only these model parts are delivered to the client of the user. This concept reduces resource needs of the client PC and hides unnecessary model complexity from the user. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 62
PREEvision 7.5 If partial model support is activated, the scope definition is a mandatory step after initial login to the client. When loading the E/E model for the first time or if no scope has been defined, the Scope Definition Perspective will be displayed. Within this perspective, the Model View only displays the package structure of the E/E model. To define and activate a scope, the following steps are necessary: 1. Select the packages to be included in the scope. 2. Drag them to the Project and Scope View and drop them on the project. A scope is created containing the selected packages and the Administration. 3. Select the scope, open the context menu and select Activate Scope. The scope is activated. When reconnecting to the project the scope will be automatically loaded. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 63
PREEvision 7.5 Use case diagram 6.3.2 Requirements engineering Use case diagrams provide a user-centric perspective on a system by showing the intended functionality and the benefits of the system from the perspective of the users. They visualize the relations and dependencies between users and use cases. Use case diagrams are behavior diagrams and follow the Unified Modeling Language 2.0 (UML 2.0) specification. Available elements are: > Use cases > Use case systems > Actors > Include and extend relations > Extension points > Generalizations Additionally, a fulfillment association between Requirements, Customer Features and Use Cases is available. All general diagram features are also supported by use case diagrams. Use case diagrams can be created under any artifact in the Product Goals layer. RIF 1.2 import Support Excel import for customer features RIF 1.2 files can now be imported as Requirements, Customer Features or test artifacts. The RIF format (RIF 1.1a or RIF 1.2) is automatically recognized during the import without user interaction. The RIF configuration files have been extended. It is now possible to define settings for the Property View for the imported requirement attributes including: > the position, where the attributes page is shown in the categories list. > definition to show attributes as a list page and/or as a table. > definition of attribute grouping. The Product Goals import via Excel now also supports Customer Features. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 64
PREEvision 7.5 Configurable reports Comprehensive and flexible control of the reporting content is now possible. This allows creating single-source report templates which can be tailored to different audiences and depths during report generation. The report template defines: > the content and structure of the report > mandatory report sections > optional report sections which can be flexibly included/excluded in/from the report > additional parameters, e.g. the start and end date for generating charts For report generation, the sections/content to be included in the report can be selected and available parameters can be defined. The settings for report generation can be saved to a configuration file for later use. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 65
PREEvision 7.5 6.3.3 import and export versions perspectives software, system and communication design 4.2.1 import and export is now supported. 3.1.4 import and export is no longer supported. The predefined perspectives for have been simplified and the number has been reduced. packages packages are now supported for the roundtrip with other tools. Therefore, within the Library, a Virtual Package Root containing a Virtual Package structure can be created. By using the new Virtual Package structure it is possible to determine the package structure and content to be exported. On import, the package structure is imported in a Virtual Package structure with the same structure. New artifacts may be assigned to specific virtual packages. special data groups (SDG) special data groups are fully supported now including definition, editing, import and export. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 66
PREEvision 7.5 Configurable customized export The customized export can be preconfigured now. By using model queries, customer-specific extracts can be generated. Example: Export a "Cluster Extract" containing only communication content to protect the IP of the software. Support of system signal and system signal group Customer-specific propagation rules are executed during the customized export. The result is a customer-specific extract. For supporting communication fan-out scenarios it is possible to design SYSTEM-SIGNALs (System Signal) and I-SIGNALs (Signal) as well as SYSTEM-SIGNAL- GROUPs (System Signal Group) and I-SIGNAL-GROUPs (Signal Group). One System Signal has different I-Signals for the same bus for different receivers: One System Signal has different I-Signals for different buses: Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 67
PREEvision 7.5 Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 68
PREEvision 7.5 6.3.4 Additional constraints for the signal router Communication design New constraints can be defined for the signal router. CAN: Support of frame with different frame ID on same bus Frame IDs for CAN bus systems can be flexibly configured considering the following use cases: > The same frame has different frame IDs on different bus systems. > The same frame has different frame IDs for different senders on the same bus system. CAN FD: Mode 2 and container IPDU concept Via 4.2.1, CAN FD Mode 2 (extended payload) is fully supported. With the introduction of the container IPDU, dynamic payload mapping, e.g. for CAN - CAN FD gateways, is now possible. Default values for meta model attributes Global default values for meta model attributes can be defined in the Administration. When creating a new artifact the default value is set and a default marker indicates that the current value is a default value and has not been changed by the user. Inconsistencies between default values of custom attributes, which are synchronized with PREEvision meta model attributes, can be avoided. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 69
PREEvision 7.5 Abstraction concept 6.3.5 Wiring harness design In the ECU network and wiring harness design different user groups work on different abstraction levels together. These groups work in separated product lines, but need a possibility to link their artifacts. This is possible with the new abstraction relation. The abstraction relation is available for specific artifacts and is a "type-of" relation: > The abstract artifact is the "type". > The concrete artifacts are the "instances". The abstraction relation can be set on the Abstraction property page. Material data Materials are introduced in the library. Materials can be grouped into different categories (hierarchically). Each material can be described with its characteristics. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 70
PREEvision 7.5 Materials can be assigned to: > components > hardware parts > hardware types The classification of the materials at the instance is supported: Extensions for wiring harness router The routing behavior for cables has been changed: > The complete cable is no longer routed within the geometry. > Now, each core of a cable is routed within the geometry. Behavior of the routing of cable cores: > All cores are routed separately and parallel through the same segments. > Exception at the beginning and the end of a cable: Cable cores are allowed to be routed in different segments, but only after/before the last branch-off. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 71
PREEvision 7.5 KBL installation instructions The existing KBL import and export was extended to support KBL installation_instructions. No mapping to standard PREEvision attributes is possible as instruction types can be freely defined: > Import to and export from the newly introduced custom attributes. > For each instruction type an attribute definition is created in PREEvision. > Predefined attribute definitions in PREEvision can be used and will be recognized. Installation instruction values are stored at the artifact where the parent information (in KBL) is stored: Example: Connector occurrence with installation_instruction in KBL leads to Wiring Connector with attribute value for the defined instruction type. Hardware modules in diagram palette Hardware Module Types can be displayed in the palette of the Electric Circuit Diagram (extra section). Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 72
PREEvision 7.5 Adding a new Hardware Module with the selected type to the diagram from the palette is possible. The icon, which is set on the type, is displayed in the palette and is used in the diagram. New refactoring The new refactoring Type change to EEComponent is available and supports the type change from a Wiring Harness Inline Connector to an EE-Component. Wiring harness and schematic diagram improvements The following diagram improvements are available: > Select all via <CTRL>+<A> > Move > Select and move in one action > Change routing option (e.g. from oblique to rectangular) > Placing and moving of components in Wiring Harness and Connector Template Diagram > Populate: no more loops and merging of overlapping edges > Permanently displaying fan area Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 73
PREEvision 7.5 Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 74
PREEvision 7.5 6.3.6 Safety analysis: Fault tree analysis Design of safety relevant systems The following extensions have been made with regard to fault tree modeling: > Support of AND, OR, NOT and XOR gates > Improved visualization of gate symbols > House events with probability 0 or 1 > Reuse of Malfunctions with alias names > Support of variants of fault trees For the qualitative FTA, the following improvements have been introduced for performant calculation of minimal cut sets: > Cut off order can be defined > Quantitative importance is calculated > Results are structured in packages according to cut set order > Advanced highlighting for malfunctions included in minimal cut sets The following improvements have been introduced for the quantitative FTA: > Exponents of failure rate can be added easily Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 75
PREEvision 7.5 > Calculation and diagram configuration considers unit of failure rate lambda > Improved visualization of failure rates and calculated probabilities in fault tree Safety requirements Other technology New artifact classes for safety requirements are supported: > Hardware Safety Requirements > Software Safety Requirements A new artifact class Other Technology has been introduced: > According to ISO26262 for description of technology different from E/E technologies (e.g. mechanical or hydraulic technology) > Supported in Component, Network, Electric Circuit and Wiring Harness Diagram Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 76
PREEvision 7.5 6.3.7 Reuse unit renamed to asset Product line engineering Reuse Unit has been renamed to Asset. All artifact classes, views and attributes have been renamed accordingly. Reuse of product lines Reuse of Product Lines is now possible if no checked-out Assets are contained in the Product Line. When trying to reuse a Product Line which contains checked-out Assets, an error will be displayed and the checked-out Assets will be displayed in the Information View. Improved roles and rights concept Concurrent model operations 6.3.8 The roles and rights concept has been improved: > Only visible artifacts are transferred from the application server to the client. > Invisible artifacts are no longer transferred to the client. has been improved with regard to concurrent model operations: > The waiting time of client users for dedicated server actions has been reduced. > Model update operations of different users are running concurrently on the application server. > Commit operations of different users are running sequentially. > Parallel read operations during a write operation are possible. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 77
PREEvision 7.5 6.3.9 Usability improvements Property view The following improvements have been introduced for the Property View: > In the Property View, recently visited pages are now highlighted by a light green background color. > The table sort mode has been removed. If table entries are sortable, the up/down buttons are always displayed in the table toolbar. > Drag and drop to the Property View has been improved. During the drop action only allowed target pages are displayed. > It is possible to define a grid layout for the Property View. In this way, properties can be displayed next to each other. > The quick search is now available in the Property View to search for attribute names and values. The quick search field can be displayed in the Property View via the button in the action bar or via the shortcut <CTRL>+<F>. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 78
PREEvision 7.5 Tables The following improvements have been introduced for table editors: > Columns can be grouped via table context menu Group Columns. Several groups can be defined. Groups can be configured in the Add/Remove/Reorder Columns dialog. > Predefined column filters are persisted. All filter options are displayed. In this way, a simple change of the filter options is now possible. > Table filters can be defined directly in the table editor via table context menu Filter. Tables: Copy and paste behavior The copy and paste behavior of multi-selections in tables has been improved: > Discontiguous values can be pasted without empty cells. > Only contiguous values from different columns can be copied. > A preference is available to define if empty values overwrite existing values. > The paste action is only performed for the visible area. The tree is not automatically expanded. > The paste action is automatically aborted, when a read-only cell is reached. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 79
PREEvision 7.5 > The paste action is available for a selected cell range: > Case 1: If the target quantity is smaller than copied values: paste only into target range. > Case 2: If the target quantity is bigger than copied values: paste with repetition. Tables: Chart wizard Creation of charts for tables is now supported via wizard. The underlying ODT template is created automatically. Several charts and ODTs can be defined. For configuring the chart, predefined filters and aggregation functions are available. Copy and special paste In addition to the universal paste behavior, a customized behavior is needed, for example, to paste the structure of a copied Requirement Package and reuse all leaf artifacts. Therefore, a custom paste action can be defined for a meta class via a new metric executor (Metric Executor Paste). This allows to define which relations are to be copied (default: all external relations are copied) and whether the new Relation Editor should be opened or not. The Relation Editor can also be manually opened by the user via context menu Open with Relation Editor to view and detach relations. If a metric for a special paste action has been configured, it can be selected in the context menu, the drag and drop menu or via the Special Paste dialog (shortcut <CTRL> +<SHIFT>+<V>). The Special Paste dialog offers all paste actions for the selected meta class. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 80
PREEvision 7.5 The standard paste action is still available and unchanged. Automatic grouping folders Artifacts can be automatically grouped in folders. The grouping algorithm can be configured in the object configuration (Grouping Folder). Unique attribute values Server-side consistency checks Uniqueness checks and unique ID generation has been introduced. Uniqueness checks can be implemented to check whether an attribute value, entered by the user, is unique, e.g. the name of an ECU shall be unique. Furthermore, it is possible to generate short unique IDs that are compliant to a customer-defined pattern. For example, human readable IDs for Tickets or Requirements can be defined. Uniqueness is ensured for the current model including the history of the current model. Attribute values which are not unique cannot be committed and have to be changed for being able to perform a commit. Uniqueness checks and ID generation are configured within the model and can be applied to customer-defined meta classes and attributes. Server-side consistency checks have been introduced to: > improve performance, > enable uniqueness checks and > ensure consistency checks are executed on the complete model, even if only a partial model is loaded in the client. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 81
PREEvision 7.5 Online checks are executed on client side during runtime and on server side before a commit operation. Findings reported by the online check are highlighted in the Model View and displayed in the E/E Online Check view. Online check results are also associated to the corresponding artifacts and are displayed on the Online Checks property page of the artifact. Automatically creating and arranging diagrams The highlighting of online check findings in the Model View has been adapted as follows: > Artifacts with a finding are indicated by a colored decorator according to the severity. > Artifacts without a finding, but containing a child artifact with a finding are indicated by a grey decorator. Online checks are automatically initialized on the server. For existing E/E models, the action Administration Execute Online Checks on whole model has to be executed once by an administrator in order to create the finding associations. It is possible to ignore online check findings for a specific artifact or meta class. In this case, the finding association is still set but the finding is no longer displayed in the Model View and the E/E Online Check view. PREEvision now provides a possibility to automatically create, arrange and refactor diagrams. With the help of metrics, diagrams can be automatically created and arranged according to a predefined layout. In this way, for example, it is possible to quickly create a new diagram for a large number of newly imported artifacts or to rearrange an existing diagram. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 82
PREEvision 7.5 Artifact picker Diagram handling Extensions for editors The Assistance View has been renamed to Artifact Picker. The following improvements have been made for the Artifact Picker: > A navigation bar (breadcrumbs) is displayed within the Artifact Picker to show the parent hierarchy of a selected artifact. > The type-ahead filter now also works for trees. > From the Property View, the Artifact Picker can also be opened for drop-down lists. The following improvements have been introduced for the general diagram handling: > Artifact Pickers can now be configured for diagrams. The definition of the Artifact Picker is attached to the Diagram Configuration. Direct drag and drop from the Artifact Picker to the diagram is supported. > Reusing an artifact in the current workspace and inserting it into a diagram can now be performed in one step via <SHIFT> and drag and drop. > Formatting of number is now possible in the label configuration. For example, it can be configured to display no decimal digit for the segment length in a Geometry Diagram. By default, no decimal digit is displayed if the value does not have one. The decimal digits can be configured in the label configuration, e.g. to display two decimal digits: {0,number,#.00}; to display the value as defined in the attribute field: {0}. > The populate behavior has been aligned. <F8> opens the Populate dialog on all diagrams now. The selected populate options are stored for each diagram type. A new editor reference type Default To Command-ID Reference has been introduced which allows to register further (third party) editors for an artifact class. Registered editors are available in the Open with context menu. Optionally, it is possible to configure the editor to be opened via double click on the registered artifact class. Vector Informatik GmbH Version 7.5 SP5 83
