Actifsource V8.0.0

We worked very hard to make the Actifsource Generator much faster. Actifsource 8.0.0 is the result of this effort!

• Parallel Code Generator for Resources with different templates
• Parallel Code Generator for Resources with same templates
• Parallel Model File Reader
• Parallel Model Validator
• Parallel Name Indexer

Using the new Actifsource 8.0.0 Parallel Build Features the performance increases by factor 4 (!!) for our reference model compared to Actifsource 7.0.0:

• ACTIFSOURCE 7.0.0: 02:37 (Single Threaded Edition)
• ACTIFSOURCE 8.0.0: 01:12 (Mutli Threaded Edition: 1 Thread)
• ACTIFSOURCE 8.0.0: 00:50 (Mutli Threaded Edition: 2 Threads)
• ACTIFSOURCE 8.0.0: 00:41 (Mutli Threaded Edition: 3 Threads)
• ACTIFSOURCE 8.0.0: 00:39 (Mutli Threaded Edition: 4 Threads)
• ACTIFSOURCE 8.0.0: 00:38 (Mutli Threaded Edition: 5 Threads)

See Eclipse/Window/Preferences/Actifsource for the generator and validator settings:

• Use the Actifsource Community Edition for NON-commercial projects only

Installing Actifsource

• Actifsource sets the memory settings automatically after installing and restarting
• The Restart-Button displayed after the plugin installation, restarts eclipse in such a way that it still uses the old memory settings
• To prevent OutOfMemoryExceptions you need to completely close eclipse (File, Exit or Close-Button) and start it again

Performance

• Parallel asr File Reader
• Parallel Name Indexer
• Parallel Code Generator for Resources with different templates
• Parallel Code Generator for Resources with same templates

Core

• MultiExtends for Relations according to MultiExtends for classes

Animation according to Hunkeler

• RecordInformationen ohne Elemente sollen akzeptiert werden. (Fortschrittsbalken aktualisieren)
• Zusätzliche Konfiguration und index_xxx.html für Offline Datenanalyse
• Historyfiles mit anderem CRC sollen automatisch übergangen werden (nach Änderung der Software)
• Hauptdiagramm wird sporadisch nicht aktualisiert
• Bei Zoom mit doppelklick soll der angeklickte Bereich dargestellt werden. Bei erneutem Doppelklick soll das herausgezoomte Diagramm nicht wandern.

• Actifsource Validation as ANT Task
  <validate threadcapacity = "8" verbose = "true" resourcescope="project:TestAnt">
    <environment ref="env" />
  </validate>
