Importer updated to model Enumerations as a <named>CodeSimpleType containing
enumeration literals and an empty <named>CodeType that specializes the
<named>CodeSimpleType, as described in NIEM-UML Spec, clause 7432
Importer updated to use <<References>> connectors, when modeling a
ComplexType definition that uses a property declared in a separate namespace
Properties of <<AssociationTypes>> that are modeled as (UML) AssociationEnds
will also be modeled as an attribute in at least one UML class (the
NamespacePropertyHolder if necessary), to ensure that they are available for
modeling a reference to that property, from a type definition in some other
namespace
Importer now uses the attribute [appinfo:externalAdapterTypeIndicator="true"]
to identify <<AdapterTypes>>, rather than relying on the name ending with
"AdapterType"
The stereotype <<InformationModel>> is now applied to all packages created by
importing NIEM Schema Files The tagged values for this stereotype are now
populated by information extracted/derived from the schema file
All abstract properties are now created with the marking "{union}"

will be automatically added to the Schema Composer profile
Primitive types (from the "niem-xs" namespace) will not be automatically
added to the Schema Composer profile
Connectors with the <<Augments>> stereotype will be copied to the subset
model where appropriate
The cardinality of attributes involved in a NIEM model transform, may now be
restricted using the Schema Composer

no longer generate a global element in the schema file containing the client class
The client class will be generated using a reference to that element in the
namespace of the supplier class
Added support for generation of Global Elements for Properties of PropHolders
that are modeled as AssociationEnds
NIEM 3: Names of complex types generated for Enumerations corrected so that
they end with "CodeType" (rather than "CodeSimpleTypeCodeType")
Internal: NIEM 4 should generate only a single type for each Enumeration type
(The NIEM 40 model contains two enumerations, a base and a specialization for each
Code type)

builder
Model Patterns now available for each supported DBMS
. Creates a structure that automatically organizes database objects into
separate packages of each type
. Each database model consists of a stereotyped package ('DataModel') that
contains a logical and physical sub-package, as well as a report specification
artifact that easily generates a database report
. Each physical sub-package is stereotyped as 'Database' and stores DBMS,
Default Owner & Default Connection properties (as tagged values)
. Each database creates the package types that are available in the selected
DBMS
. Any database object created in one of these packages is automatically saved
into the appropriate package
. Any ODBC import invoked from within the data model package structure
automatically loads the data model diagram and saved the objects into their
relevant package

to the child table
. Alternatively select an existing column in child table by name
. Extended properties (like On Delete, On Update) of the foreign key are now
directly visible on the window
. The name of the optionally created Foreign Key index is automatically shown
Table Column properties dialog improved:
. List of columns is now the primary focus of the dialog

. Typing in cell with prompt 'New Column'
. Context menu in column list
. Hot key - Ctrl+N
. All column properties are editable directly within the list
. Reorder a column via the context menu items or hot keys, Ctrl+Up or
Ctrl+Down
. Delete an existing column via the context menu item or hot key, Ctrl+D
. All properties relevant to the selected column's datatype are visible and
accessible directly on the window
. Constraints, indexes, checks and triggers are available conveniently on
second tab
Table Constraints properties dialog improved:
. Conveniently located together with the column properties
. List of constraints (this includes Indexes, Primary and Foreign Keys, Check &
Unique Constraints and table Triggers) are now primary focus and can be edited
inline
. Create a new constraint in one of three ways:
. Typing in cell with prompt 'New Constraint'
. Context menu in column list
. Hot key - Ctrl+N
. All constraint properties are editable directly within the list
. Reorder a constraint via the context menu items or hot keys, Ctrl+Up or
Ctrl+Down
. Delete an existing constraint via the context menu item or hot key, Ctrl+D
. All properties relevant to the selected constraint's stereotype are visible
and accessible directly on the window
. Involved columns (both assigned and available) are shown directly on the
window
. Adding assigned columns is done simply by either double clicking an available
column, or using the context menu or hot key Ctrl+Left
. Unassigning columns is done simply by either double clicking an assigned
column, or using the context menu or hot key Ctrl+Right

InterBase
. DDL Execute Engine
. Generated SQL Script to Execution Engine according to dependency order,
then simply "Execute" each single one or "Execute All" in one go.
E.g. change a column's length will generate following statements in
order(suppose the column is used in an index):
#1 Drop index,
#2 alter the column (unless you drop and then add the column, so you
never lose your data!)
#3. Create the index
. Duplicated script combined in one. E.g. in some databases, changing column
type or length will generate the same scripts, EA now groups the scripts for you
. Compare the database to the model

. The compare runs on multiple levels in a simple click:
Table: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC
Column: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC
Constraint: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC
Constraint Column: EA Only / ODBC Only / EA & ODBC
. Actions on the difference (actions integrated in a combo box, which only

filled with valid actions according to the context)
Table:
EA Only: Pair | Generate Create Script
ODBC Only: Pair | Create table in EA | Generate Drop Script
EA & ODBC: UnPair | Re-name table in EA model | update EA
model(include all columns and constraints) | Generate Script for (Re-create /
Rename / Comment / OwnerChange / Privilege) and other properties
Column:
EA Only: Pair | Delete column from EA model | Generate Add Script
ODBC Only: Pair | Add column to EA model | Generate Drop Script
EA & ODBC: UnPair | update EA model | Generate Script for (Rename /
comment / Default value / Length / Precision / Scale / NotNull / AutoNum / Seed /
Step) and other properties
Constraint:
EA Only: Delete constraint from EA model | Generate Add / Create
Script
ODBC Only: Add constraint to EA model | Generate Drop Script
EA & ODBC: update EA model | First Drop and then Add / Create |
Generate Script for comment and other properties
. Round-trip Database Engineering.

Compare and show differences between Enterprise Architect and model
connected through ODBC
Set actions to synchronize: It is possible that some differences' action
set as "EA====>ODBC" while some differences' action set as "ODBC====>" EA.
The database and EA model should be synchronized. You can validate it by
running the Difference tool again.

XMI
The basic workflow is as follows
. Each modeler receives a copy of the original package
. Each modeler imports and baselines the package
. Each modeler makes their changes (additions, deletions and modifications)
. Each modeler then exports their package creating an XMI file and a Merge file
based on their changes
. The original model is then updated with each modelers changes, using the
Merge files
. Changes not in the Merge Files (E.g other modelers additions, deletions and
updates) are ignored
. The resultant model accurately reflects the sum of the modelers work

Release 3.10 is a minor version update which rolls up all the patches and
refinements since the 3.00 release.
Special note regarding replicated models: This version of EA will update your model
files (.eap) when you open them. Do not try and update a Replica project - always
update the Design Master first, then synchronize the Rreplicas with the Master to
copy the changes to the Rreplica. You may also elect to create new Rreplicas from
the updated Design Master and discard the old version 2.5 Replicas.
The main features are:
- Addition of a dockable 'tab bar' to provide easy access to testing scripts for an
element
- Addition of a dockable 'tab bar' to provide easy access to system tasks, project
issues and glossary
- Addition of a dockable 'tab bar' to to provide easy access to maintenance items
(changes and defects) for and element
- Addition of 'Hyperlink' element for creating links to other documents and
webpages and placing on diagram (element toolbar)
- RTF documents can now have heading levels up to 9 deep
- Provide ability to rename or delete the pre-defined model views (Use Case,
Logical, Dynamic etc.)
- Ability to place 'diagram properties' in a text element on a diagram (freely

list is included at the bottom of this note. The main highlights are:
- improved GUI with dockable windows and more toolbars
- relationship matrix for managing requirements traceability
- improved reverse engineering of ODBC data sources
- foreign key information is now included DDL import/export
- ability to copy complete diagrams
- additional modeling elements
- an ActiveX read-only interface based on XMI
Once again, many thanks to all those who have supported EA and offered their ideas
and encouragement. Also a special thanks to those who took the time to evaluate the
beta version of this release and report back bugs and issues.
Please note: For up to the minute details on the latest build of Enterprise
Architect, check the Latest News section of the user forum at:

Special note regarding replicated models: This version of EA will update your model
files (.eap) when you open them. Do not try and update a Replica project - always
update the Design Master first, then synchronize the Rreplicas with the Master to
copy the changes to the Rreplica. You may also elect to create new Rreplicas from
the updated Design Master and discard the old version 2.5 Replicas.
