The following is a summary of the changes from Version 9.

Major Changes

  • We've added several new methods to the Repository class and organized them into fields named after the object type they apply to. This means that existing methods in the class have also been moved to the appropriate fields. For example, the Repository.GetAllModels() method, which affects model resources, has been renamed to Repository.Model.GetAllModels(); similarly, Repository.ImportBlockSimXMLFile has been renamed to Repository.BlockSim.ImportBlockSimXMLFile, etc. The Version 9 methods still exist so your code is not broken, but they are deprecated and may be removed in future versions of the API.
  • In Version 9, you had to get all of a single resource (e.g., all models) from a repository before you could update a single one. In the latest version, we've added new methods that allow you to get just a single resource from the repository and update it.
  • We've added new methods that allow access to FMEA and related data from Xfmea/RCM++/RBI.

Control.GetAllXfmeaControls Returns an array of cXfmeaControl objects that represent the Xfmea controls in the current project.
Control.AddXfmeaControl Adds a new Xfmea control to the current project. Returns a Boolean value; when true, indicates a successful save.
Control.UpdateXfmeaControl Updates the properties of a given control resource in the current project. Returns a Boolean value; when true, indicates a successful update.
Control.GetXfmeaControl Returns a cXfmeaControl object that represents a given control resource in the current project. Returns nothing if the control does not exist or is not in the current project.
XFRACAS.XFRACASCommandTimeout Gets or sets the wait time before terminating the attempt to execute an XFRACAS command.
XFRACAS.AddSystemMetric1 This can be used to insert reported run hours and the date of the reported run hours.

Xfmea.AddItemToSystemHierarchy Adds a new system hierarchy item to the current project. Returns a Boolean value; when true, indicates a successful save.
Xfmea.UpdateItemInSystemHierarchy Updates the properties of a given system hierarchy item in the current project. Returns a Boolean value; when true, indicates a successful update.
Xfmea.GetAllXfmeaFunctionsDictionary Returns a dictionary object that contains all available FMEA functions associated with a system hierarchy item. The dictionary syntax is Dictionary(Of Integer, XfmeaFunction), where the ID numbers are the keys, and the XfmeaFunction objects that represent the FMEA functions are the associated values.
