Well it would appear to be a problem with this particular model. In past cases where I have seen this behavior you will find you get the following error message when trying to open a particular specification:
This functionality <...> is not currently supported In previous cases this type of error has arisen when mixing database objects and non database objects. For example creating a relationship on a diagram between a Class and a Table, creating relations between tables and use cases in a use case diagram. Most (but not all) of these types of issues should no longer be a problem in 2001A, since several code changes were made to the data modeler to avoid this type of problem. Perhaps you are running into a corner case that was not addressed. So first thing to check for, is are you using Data Model elements outside of a Data Model diagram? If so try deleting these objects. The best way to figure out what is causing the problem is to attempt to hunt down the problem, the suggestion would be to go to each table in the Rose browser and double click on it, in order to open up the specification. Good chance if you hit a problem table you will get an error along the lines of, "This functionality open sepecification is not currently supported" If only one or two tables show this problem, then just deleting them may be the quickest "fix". However be aware that a "bad" table can propagate the problem, i.e. If you have FK relations between mutliple tables, [t1]<---[t2]<---[t3]<---[t4] Then a problem in t1 may cause the problem also to show up in t2,t3,t4. In this case deleting only t1, will clear the problem in the other tables. I have only seen this 2 or 3 times with current release so do not have a lot of history of what exactly is causing the problem. If the above doesn't help, and you can send the model, then we can probably fix it. If you need to send the model, please do not reply to this email, instead foward it along with a description of the problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Patrick Kennedy Rational Support > -----Original Message----- > From: Visser, Cathi (EARN) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 9:56 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: (ROSE) Data Modeler doesn't perform actions > > > > I have a large data model in Rose Enterprise 2001A 7.5.0103.1929. > > I have 89 tables in the schema.
