4. Enterprise Modeler: What's New

(Home)     Previous     Next


1. PNG Format for Snapshotting the Modeler to an Image

You can now save snapshots in PNG format.



2. Major Toolbar Enhancements

Frequently Used Buttons Are on the Toolbar
Because the following tasks are often used, they are located as icons on the toolbar instead of in a hidden drop-down button:
  • Start
  • Stop
  • Restart
  • Status


Tasks Moved to the Toolbar Drop-Down Button
Because the following tasks are not typically used frequently, their icons were moved from the toolbar to a drop-down button on the far right side of the toolbar:
  • Expand All
  • Collapse All
  • Preferences
  • Show Me Demo
  • Help


New Buttons and Operations on the Toolbar
  • Import
    • The Import operation is always enabled except when you select an Architect Modeler design element.
    • If nothing is selected or in the project yet, you can import an Identity Vault to begin your project.
    • If an Identity Vault is selected, you can import a driver set.
    • If a driver set is selected, you can import a driver.
    • If a driver is selected, you can import a channel or any object (for example, a policy, resource, or job) that can be contained by a driver.
    • The Import operation is disabled if you select an Arcihtect Modeler design element.
  • Deploy
    • The Deploy operation is disabled if nothing is selected or if you select a domain group or Architect Modeler design element.
    • If an Identity Vault is selected, you can deploy the driver sets and notification template collections.
    • Designer doesn't deploy the vault. (The vault is conceptual, and the servers need to be installed when you set up eDirectory™.)
    • If you select a driver set, you can deploy the driver set settings and its drivers.
    • If you select a driver, you can deploy the driver settings and the objects that the driver contains (for example, policies, resources, and jobs.)
  • Compare
    • The Compare operation is disabled if nothing is selected or if you select a domain group or Architect Modeler design element.
    • The Compare operation is enabled and compares what's deployed in a live system when you select an Identity Vault, driver set, or driver. The compare is on the object and child objects. (This means that the compare is basically a tree compare from the selected object down.)


Other Enhancements and Bug Fixes
  1. The driver type reports a generic driver when it is an AD driver. Click here for details.
  2. The Dataflow view is dimmed after another project is deleted. Click here for details.
  3. Copying a driver in the Outline view places the object in the upper left corner of the modeler. Click here for details.
  4. Cutting and pasting a driver from the Outline view no longer leaves the modeler in a state. Click here for details.
  5. Toolbar actions are disabled when multiple objects are selected. Click here for details.
  6. The Modeler toolbar and context menu no longer differ for an eDir-to-eDir object. Click here for details.
  7. The Dataflow editor now adds a Remote Driver application as expected. Click here for details.
  8. Adding the Honeywell application to an Identity Vault now works as expected. Click here for details.
