Hi,

I'm fairly new to System Architect - I attached an encyclopaedia and made some changes to the configuration settings, when I selected OK, I received the following warning message.

"An existing copy of USRPROPS.TXT was found in your encycolpaedia and was left as is. But note that it might be incompatible with the new copy of SAPROPS.CFG that was just placed in to the encyclopaedia"

Have I transgressed some unwritten law here? Can anyone explain what these two files do and what this means.

Thanks.

When an encyclopedia created with an older version of SA is opened in a newer version of SA, SA offers you the option to upgrade the SAPROPS.CFG in the old encyclopedia.
This is normally the recommended action, as new features may require the newer properties.
Be aware that all users of that encyclopedia should be using the same version of SA - to ensure compatibility.
(NB SAPROPS.CFG is the default shipped property set and is not to be modified by a user)

While this operation occurs, you are warned that the USRPROPS.TXT file you have in the encyclopedia may not be compatible with the new SAPROPS.CFG. For example a definition type you have customised may no longer exist (if a methodology has been removed). It is very rare that the USRPROPS.TXT will be incompatible - but the message is kind of a 'heads-up'.

So in answer to your question:-
SAPROPS.CFG - is the Telelogic methodology master file
USRPROPS.TXT - is the user customizable property file

No you have not done anything wrong.

Thanks
Ian
