Overview

Like other software products that allow developers and analysts to define software from an object-oriented perspective, the Modeler captures business objects as classes with attributes and connects them via relationships. However, this is where the similarity ends. Unlike other modeling software, the OlivaNova Modeler allows analysts and developers to capture actual business logic, business rules, and system constraints without having them write any code. These rules and constraints are then translated by the Transformation Engine into language and architecture-specific code that is ready for compiling and deployment.

Features:

  • Business/Object Modeling
  • Data Modeling
  • Model Integrator
  • Legacy System Modeling
  • Rules/Constraints Definition
  • Conceptual GUI Definition
  • UML Support
  • XML Support
System requirements
  • OS: Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP
  • Microsoft Service Pack 4 or above is required with Windows 2000 to be able to work with old project versions. This Service Pack updates some Microsoft Foundation Classes that have problems when the class objects version is changed.
  • MSXML 4.0 (required)
  • Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) library, for DDL Import facility
  • Microsoft ADO Extensions for DDL and Security (ADOX) object library, for DDL Import facility


Is this UML?
If your organization is already modeling software in UML, then using our Modeler will require very little adjustment. While the underlying semantics of the modeling language are driven by OASIS, a language developed for its preciseness and lack of ambiguity, it is very similar to UML and we use standard UML notation within the Modeler to make it easy to read.
