Hi,
I haven't given up questioning the Rose file-format yet. There are things
still comming up when I'm working with Rose that puzzels me.
Here is one example. Davyd Norris answered a previous mail from me, where he
explained thet the idea behind the .MDL-format was to be able to treat the
MDL-file as a project file consisting of several packages of source-code (or
something like that).
Well, I did. I needed to move som packages from one model to another. These
packages contained diagrams showing classes which were located in other
packages of the model (typically reverse-engineered or created from Rose
(like the MFC6.0 import).
Now, in my new model, I have restructured the layout of packages, so the
MFC6.0 is not located in the same "path" (Rose Browser path not file path)
as it was in the "old" model. That's when the trouble occurse. When adding
the packages with the previously mentioned diagrams from the old model to
the new, Rose is not able to locate the MFC6.0 classes used in the diagrams.
This is due to the "hardcoded" path stored as attributes in the .mdl file
(see code-extract below):
.... snip ....
superclasses (list inheritance_relationship_list
(object Inheritance_Relationship
quid "36CCD64E0278"
supplier "Logical View::Design Model::Utilities::MFC 6.0::CObject
Classes::CObject"
quidu "365C7A6F009C"))
operations (list Operations
(object Operation "Close"
quid "365C7A6F00CE"
... snip ....
I.e. the 'supplier' tag creates a major problem.
Is there an easy way to "update" my diagrams (i,e, the supplier-reference)?
Since the classes referred to in my diagram does exist in my model, Rose
should be able to locate them ? Or ?
I know it boils down to a sound architecure and all this, but on my way to
create this architecture, operations as the one I've perfermed is sometimes
neccessary.
Looking forward to any response to this query :-)
Regards
Arne
