What's new in ERStudio Data Architect Professional 11.0.0 Build 8883

Apr 28, 2015
  • Change Management:
  • Allowing you to collaborate in an Agile environment, Change Management Center gives you the ability to easily track and manage the changes made by Repository check ins.
  • Welcome Page:
  • Newly implemented in version 11.0 of ER/Studio Data Architect is the interactive Welcome Page. A starting point for new and more experienced users. Containing links to your recent files, plus the ability to create new models and open the reverse engineer or import wizards in a single click.
  • The Welcome Page includes a number of helpful videos to guide you through some of the more important features, and for new users, a simple getting started video.
  • If you do not have Internet connectivity, there is an auto-sensing offline page that shows limited interactive content, but is still filled with useful information and the same useful quick links to get you quickly back to where you left off.
  • Auto-Naming Standards:
  • Naming Standards have been an effective method of keeping your models in line with any organizational naming conventions and compliance that is in place, however now the Auto Naming Standards feature allows you to create and modify while automatically applying your naming standard templates (NST) to your models.
  • New Installer:
  • Streamlining the install process, the new WiX installer means you have an easier install, with less keystrokes.
  • Enhanced Platform Support:
  • The ability to suppress index names for Teradata. This option is available within the Entity Editor DDL and the DDL Generation Wizard.
  • Support added for Advanced Compression with Oracle Database 11g.
  • Glossary Integration:
  • The business glossary is an extremely important source of information for collaboration between all stakeholders including data modelers, business analysts, developers, and subject matter experts. Your Team Server glossaries are now able to be linked directly in to the ERStudio interface. If a glossary term is used in the Name, Definition, or Notes of a model object, it is highlighted to identify that you have a definition in your Team Server Glossary. Holding your mouse cursor over the highlighted term pops up the short definition while clicking on the term will navigate to that term in the Team Server Glossary.
