erwin Evolve 2020.2.0 - Release Notes

Extended Service Release 2020.1.1

Extended Service Release 2020.1.1

Following the successful introduction of Web Modeler, this 2020.1.1 release brings significant enhancements with Undo/Redo in Web Modeler, a much faster Global search, improvements in the Analytic Accelerator Service along with enhancements to XML Import and Communicator for Word (C4W) to make the tool more capable.

Undo / Redo in Web Modeler

Now able to Undo and Redo changes to shapes and object values in the Web Modeler using CTRL+Z and CTRL+SHIFT+Z.

Global Search with a higher rate of indexing

Global Search is now much faster at indexing large amounts of changed data.

Improvements in the Analytic Accelerator Service

It can now optionally show names or the script names of the objects, which makes queries more convenient.

The table that contains the changes made to each object now shows the current value in addition to the previous value. Previously the current value had to be obtained from the object's table. This change again makes querying data simpler, with less need for complex joins.

XML Import

Option to import associations by type, source, and target instead of GUIDs.
This ensures associations will get updated if necessary rather than duplicated.

See here for more details.

Communicator for Word Filtering (C4W)

Now has the ability to filter based on property values to produce reduce sized XML files.

See here for more details.

Evolve static page client-side caching

Improved the performance of both static sites, and some static areas of dynamic sites, by intelligently caching content on the client browser as needed.

Fixes to stability and useability of Web Modeler

And many bug fixes and tweaks to ensure the user experience

Product Licensing

Product Licensing

As of the 2018 release of erwin EA/BP Server, licensing is migrating to the standard erwin Inc. license system. During the migration, there will be a grace period, whereby existing customers can continue to use their existing Casewise licenses. erwin do not intend to force customers onto the new licensing, and will work with them to ensure a successful migration.

If you are considering upgrading to 2018, you should not be concerned with the new licensing system, as its usage is optional at the moment.

The license types available for erwin EA/BP Server include:

License

Description

erwin EA Server

The main server license which supports Evolve. This is usually supplied with a number of EA Contributor licenses. It often packages together both a Dynamic and a Static site license.

erwin BP Server

The main server license which supports Evolve. This is usually supplied with a number of BP Modeler licenses (aka eModeler). It often packages together both a Dynamic and a Static site license.

erwin EA Contributor

A single named user license, that enables users to modify content through a site.

erwin BP Modeler

A single named user license, that enables users to modify content through a site and use BP Modeler (aka eModeler).

 

Activating your erwin License:

The process for activating an erwin EA/BP license is very simple.

1.Support will provide you with a single license file per Server machine that requires licensing.
For example:

2.Having installed the software, copy this file to your server's desktop.

3.Double click on the file. You will be presented with a warning:

4.Press "Yes" to allow the tool to change the registry.

5.The software now has the purchased licenses activated on the server. To verify this, load the License Manager.
Open erwin CW Suite - Start Here...

6.Click on License Manager, and login.

7.License Manager will show the license code, activation count and various other attributes.

 

Returning your erwin License

If you need to move the license from on server to another, this can be performed up to 3 times, without contacting support.

1.Press "Return" in the "Online" section of the License Manage dialog
This will contact the licensing system, and return the license to the pool

2.Activate the software as usual on your new server.

If you run out of activations, you can have the counter reset, by contacting support.
