Yesterday the RSARTE team delivered the first version of a plugin that provides a number of utilities for fixing subtle and hidden problems in an RSARTE model. Over time we have identified a number of such problems in models which have been migrated from Rose RT (often caused by limitations or bugs in the version of the Rose RT importer that was used in the migration). There are also examples where bugs in older versions of RSARTE have introduced problems in a model, problems that are hidden and hence can be really tricky to detect and fix without some kind of tool support.
The Model Fixup plugin can initially be used for checking if your model contains any problems that can be fixed by the plugin. If such problems are found, you can then use the plugin for correcting the model.
This first version of the plugin provides 5 different fixup utilities. You are encouraged to install the plugin and at least use it for checking if your model is affected by any of the known problems.
Go here to download and read more about the Model Fixup plugin. It's a good idea to bookmark that page and visit it occasionally, because as we learn about new kinds of model problems we will deliver updated versions of this plugin.
