We need to be able to see the return codes on datasources and handle links gracefully depending on the return codes.. some are critical and bad.. others can be ignored particularly 500 series errors

When using GC's some users wont have permissions to see the objects at the end of the link so when PUB follows those links and put them into a datasource they will work for users that have permissions but crash when a user does not have permission...

I'd like to have a comprehensive document on Rhapsody's code generating capabilities, i.e. what diagarms / model elements generate code.

Before starting to build a model, where code generation is the target, users should know in advance, what model elements will generate code. I've wasted a lot of my and customer service engineers' time om elaborating Sequence Diagrams, which turne...

It would be useful to be able to gracefully break processing in code when bad conditions are detected rather than continue on until critical failure hiding where the issue occured.

There is a lot of error checking that can be done which would allow us to gracefully exit processing with a useful message rather than continue process until some component fails due to the bad conditions. A stop all processing function or a uniqu...

ELO PUB should have the ability to install Eclipse Extension from the market place or other repositories.

ELO Pub as of IFix005 now does not support Javascript.. its major language because of limits in delivery licensing. PUB is already quite limited in that it does not allow external plugins to be installed. Allowing external plugins would allow user...

It would be very usefull if pointer types could be defined in argumments

Pointer / reference type is widely used in C/C++ programs, so Rhapsody should also support this. It would highly improve the efficiency of the generated code.
