Chapter 2. Cobol2AngularJSDotNet

2.1. BLU AGE II 5.2.1 Cobol2AngularJSDotNet Release Note

Global Notes:

  • 5.X products are parts of the “Blu Age II – Legacy to cloud” product family, built on Kepler (Eclipse 4.3);

  • Product documentation is available at http://wikimod.bluage.com/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page;

2.3.1. Cobol

2.3.1.1. Fixes

2.3.1.1.1. Transmodeling

  • An error involving ON SIZE ERROR statements has been fixed.

  • An error on IF statements containing missing mappings has been fixed.

2.3.1.2. New features

2.3.1.2.1. Append attributes to an existing entity already modernized

Merging modernized attributes to an existing bean is now possible.

A new entry in the bean modernization wizard can be checked in the generation target sub-section. This entry can only be checked if a MagicDraw project is opened and for the following generation options :

  • Value Object

  • Bean

  • PK_MODEL Entity

  • Constant

Once this entry is checked, the merging class selection is available and can be used to choose the target class in the model which will receive the appended attributes.

The target class has to be stereotyped in accordance with the selected generation option, which means that, for instance, the viewer only shows classes stereotyped VO for a "Value Object" generation option.

Attributes are then appended to the selected class when the Finish button is pressed.

[Note]Note

  • If some attributes have the same name as previously generated ones, they will be ignored at merging time, but existing attributes will have their mappings updated to take into account both legacy attributes.

  • If multiple classes have been selected in the bean modernization wizard, all of their combined attributes will be merged in the target class.

2.3.2.1. Fixes

2.3.2.1.1. Generation errors
