Workaround: Click again into the formatted text field. Borders of diagrams and tables in a report are not correctly printed (1715978292643) Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Artifacts referenced by a placeholder in a report are not automatically selected (34777, 1774840069822) 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. Software composition types cannot be changed via custom model import (1782615368223) 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: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. Workaround: In the report toolbar, click the Select artifact at placeholder button to select the associated artifact in the Model View. 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 creates illegal model state (1774840030000) 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. "Update Reuse Unit" is only possible if latest version is contained in the model (1774844322645) 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. Backup requires increased hard disk space (1790491522658) Creating a project backup of a multi-user project requires significantly increased hard disk space. Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. 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. Delete action not available (1791307788454) - 18 - Sporadically, the Delete action is no longer available in the shortcut menu and cannot be executed via shortcut. Workaround: Restart the PREEvision client.

Borders of diagrams and tables in a report are not correctly printed (1715978292643) Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Artifacts referenced by a placeholder in a report are not automatically selected (34777, 1774840069822) 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. Software composition types cannot be changed via custom model import (1782615368223) 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: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. Workaround: In the report toolbar, click the Select artifact at placeholder button to select the associated artifact in the Model View. 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 creates illegal model state (1774840030000) 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. "Update Reuse Unit" is only possible if latest version is contained in the model (1774844322645) 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. Backup requires increased hard disk space (1790491522658) Creating a project backup of a multi-user project requires significantly increased hard disk space. - 76 - Workaround: Check out the Logical Function Type before moving it from the Library. Workaround: Add the latest version of the Reuse Unit to the current model. In addition to the backup directory, the "richtexts" directory within the PREEvision workspace allocates a lot of space. Version 6.5 SP9 © Vector Informatik GmbH PREEvision 6.5 SP3 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 SP9 - 77 - PREEvision 6.5 SP3 - 78 - Version 6.5 SP9 © Vector Informatik GmbH PREEvision 6.5 SP2 8 PREEvision 6.5 SP2 This chapter contains the following information: 8.1 Version numbers 80 8.2 Installation and compatibility information 81 8.3 New features 82 8.4 Fixed issues Common Diagrams and tables Product Goals Logical Function Architecture System Software Architecture Hardware Architecture Geometry Communication Product line management Change management Metrics and reports Collaboration Administration, installation and migration 83 83 84 84 84 85 85 86 86 87 87 88 88 88 8.5 Known issues 90 © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP9 - 79 - PREEvision 6.5 SP2 8.1 Version numbers Version numbers Documentation - 80 - Application Version number PREEvision client 6.5.2 LibreOffice dictionaries 4.0.3 PREEvision license server 2.0.0 PREEvision database server (2-tier) 2.0.13 PREEvision database server (3-tier) 6.5.1.3 PREEvision application server (3-tier) 6.5.2 Manual Version number PREEvision manual 6.5.2 PREEvision operating manual 6.5.2 PREEvision system requirements 6.5.2 Version 6.5 SP9 © Vector Informatik GmbH PREEvision 6.5 SP2 8.2 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.

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. The following table shows compatible client, server application and database server script versions PREEvision 6.5 and 6.5 SP1: Client version Server application version Database server script version 6.5.0 6.5.0 6.5.0.24 6.5.1 6.5.1 6.5.1.3 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. © Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.5 SP9 - 93 - PREEvision 6.5 SP1 To apply to internal IT guidelines, the execution of LibreOffice is now managed by Execution of LibreOffice managed PREEvision only.

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. Double click does not Sporadically, double clicking on an artifact may not open the defined standard editor. open the standard For example, instead of a table, diagram or report template, the form editor is always editor opened. Workaround: Keep pressed and double click again. Afterwards, double click again. and double click opens the form editor. Afterwards, a double click correctly opens the standard editor. Formatted text field cannot be edited 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 and tables in a report are not correctly printed (1715978292643) Borders of diagrams or tables (OLE objects) contained in a report are not correctly printed using the print function of LibreOffice. Initialize current model with default setup requires parent package (1774831442676) 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. Workaround: In LibreOffice, first use Export as PDF... and print the PDF document afterwards. 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 creates illegal model state (1774840030000) - 108 - Moving a checked-in Logical Function Type from the Library to a Logical Function creates an illegal model state.

Overwriting the PREEvision.ini is not allowed as well. Operating system: character set 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. - 114 - Version 6.5 SP9 © Vector Informatik GmbH PREEvision 6.5 10.3 New features Collaboration Platform as 3-tier environment Automatic locking 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. 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 SP9 - 115 - 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. - 116 - Version 6.5 SP9 © 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: > © Vector Informatik GmbH Internal hardware components and electric details can also be modeled in the Electric Circuit Diagram and the Wiring Diagram, now. Version 6.5 SP9 - 117 - PREEvision 6.5 Specification of diagnostic requirements Test data management > 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. 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 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) > - 118 - Metrics, requirements coverage, test progress, etc. Version 6.5 SP9 © Vector Informatik GmbH PREEvision 6.5 Usability improvements for diagrams 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: Usability improvements for the > Recently changed property pages are now highlighted with bold font color. property view > The LibreOffice editor can now be opened by clicking on the Description label. > Usability improvements for drag and drop operations (Assistance view) 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. 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 SP9 - 119 - PREEvision 6.5 Compare of artifacts 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 > 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. Software architecture 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 Architecture 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. Safety features 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. - 120 - Version 6.5 SP9 © Vector Informatik GmbH PREEvision 6.5 PREEvision tables in PREEvision tables (table editors) can now be included in a report via the new reports placeholder type PREEvision table. Charts in reports New metric blocks have been introduced which allow the generation of charts. Via the new report placeholder type Chart, the generated charts can be integrated in reports. Compile complete metric source codes All metric Source Code artifacts can now be checked for compilation errors at once. The action can be started from the shortcut menu of the Metric Model via Metrics | Compile all Sourcecodes. The result is displayed in the Information View. Product and release management integrated in Collaboration Platform Product and release management functionalities are now integrated in the PREEvision Collaboration Platform. The former product option PREEvision Product and Release Manager is no longer available.
