I have a quite large model that i want to run a Reporter Pro report. loading takes quite a lot of time and at the end, Reporter tells me that there is not anough memory to complete the action.
I remember that there is an undocumented rhapsody.ini entry that resolves the problem but i do not remember the details. can somone help me out
Thanks

I'm looking forward to hear about that secret inifile entry.

I ran into the same problem, but it turned out, that it was reason enough, for me to order more RAM for my PC.

Hi Guys

I'm familiar with this, but having had a two week holiday can't now find the settings in the help documentation either!! I do have a document from support which is attached.

I find the ini settings have a minor affect on model load time. If you don't need every part of your model for every report, then consider using some automation to help with partial model reporting. We'll be presenting on this subject in the UK TeleLogic user group conference in November (so please come). We'll also make the presentation material available following the conference. If you can't wait then the basis of the approach is:

- assume you don't need the whole model for every type of report - though this won't always be the case we find it to be the case most often.
- add a package stereotyped <<ReportPackage>> (define that stereotype in your site default profile)
- in the <<ReportPackage>> package, you can put report specific information (like version history, author, etc). But more pertinant for your purpose you can place dependencies on the packages that the report should include.
- run a macro on the <<ReportPackage>> that traverses the dependencies and unloads all but the relevant parts of your model.
- once you've reported the partial model, tidy up using a macro which reloads the entire model.

We use this. It speeds up reporting hugely.

Other than that, there's much prior art on structuring models with subprojects which might help.

Good luck

Matthew

Hi

For completeness, here's another undocumented Rhapsody.ini file setting:

[CODE][ReporterPLUS]
LoadImageMaps=TRUE[/CODE]
This does what one might expect: click on a model element on a diagram in a generated HTML report, and it will hyperlink to the section for that model element.

(To support this, the template must output a bookmark at the start of the section for each model element. The name of the bookmark should be the $GUID attribute of the model element.)

regards,
Simon

PS. To directly answer the original poster's question; the INI setting required is ModelSize, which can be increased from the default 1 up to 10. Further details in the document that Matthew uploaded...
