What's New in Version 17.0
Includes MetaWizard Import/Export Bridges 9.1
This version of ER/Studio Data Architect includes version 9.1 of
the MetaWizard Import/Export Bridges, which includes
several new bridges and improvements.
To ensure compatibility
with ER/Studio Repository synchronization, this version of ER/Studio Data
Architect requires ER/Studio Repository (Team Server) version 17.0 for all
Repository operations.
ER/Studio Portal is no longer supported
by ER/Studio Data Architect. Most functionality formerly provided by ER/Studio
Portal is now provided by ER/Studio Team Server. Users that formerly used the Repository
tab to browse the portal can use a Web browser instead.
License Enforcement
When working with the Repository,
all users must use the same license type. ER/Studio now enforces this by
marking the Repository as an Enterprise Team Edition Repository when a user
with an Enterprise Team Edition license logs in. Subsequent log in attempts by
users with a non-Team Edition license will not be allowed
For the more recent
list of known issues and bug fixes in this release, see http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/ERStudioDA/170/en/Release_Notes.
