DevOps Automation

IBM DevOps Model RealTime 12.0.2 (2024.06) has been just released a few days ago with a nice set of new features in this quarterly release. 

 Using the Clang 15 compiler it is now possible to create new target configuration for TargetRTS that is prebuilt for MacOS with ARM processors (M1/M2 ..).

Significant effort has been invested into building and testing DevOps Model RealTime on this platform, but it is not ready to be fully supported, so this release is marked as EXPERIMENTAL. We are looking forward to your feedback of your experience of DevOps Model RealTime on MacOS ARM architecture.

The Copy Element URI command is now available in the context menu of Code View and Code Editor. It places a URI on the clipboard which the Navigate by URI command can use for navigating to a particular line of a code snippet of a model element. This feature is very useful when you want a colleague to look at a specific line of code in a model you are collaboratively developing.

In our new GitHub repository for gRPC Library and Samples you will find a library for embedding a gRPC server in your applications. In this repository you'll also find a sample client and server application that shows how to use the library with a Model RealTime application.

For better usability for creating destructors a new command has been added to Add UML -> Special Operations context menu.

If you want to try IBM DevOps Model RealTime, please feel free to contact me and I will send you a 30 day trial.

IBM DevOps Code RealTime 1.0.4 (2024.06)

DevOps Code RealTime got many enhancements added in the last months and I want to point to some very interesting ones.

MacOS on ARM (Apple silicon) support

In this release a new target configuration for the Clang 15 compiler for MacOs with ARM processor has been added: "MacT.AArch64-Clang-15.x."

A new TCPServer library is now available which allows to embed a TCP server in your realtime application. By doing so you can control the application from the "outside" by sending TCP requests to it. You can also detect outgoing events from the application by means of receiving TCP requests from it. The library is provided as a sample that you either can use as is, or customize according to your needs. 
The new sample application is provided to show how to use the library and it includes a Node.JS client application that can be used for sending TCP requests to the application.

It's now possible to use newer JVMs than Java 17 for running Code RealTime. Information about which Java (and version) that will be used is printed in the Art Server output channel at start-up.

The community edition is available via VSCode Marketplace or Eclipse Theia Marketplace - Open-VSX for download. Additional Information can be found here.
