Here is the "fix" to my instructions on how to use ArchE. First you must start the reasoning framework you wish to use by : A possible cause of the problem can be that, in the new ArchE version, reasoning frameworks have to be manually started manually by the user. If none of the reasoning frameworks are activated, no relationships exist and no scenarios can be defined/saved/analyzed ... If you haven't activated the available reasoning frameworks(e.g., modifiability or performance), try the following: Go to Window -> Show View -> Other... -> ArchE External RF Samples and click on the ChangeImpactModifiability RF View. Then click on the "Start" button on the bottom panel. This should activate the modifiability reasoning framework and show some colors on the modifiability scenarios of the Scenarios panel. After the modifiability reasoning framework is started, a list of dependency responsibilities should appear, and you should be able to create/edit/save modifiability scenarios (selecting the right scenario type in the combobox of the Scenario dialog). A similar procedure should be followed to activate the performance reasoning framework, and see performance relationships and create/edit/save performance scenarios. 2. When creating a scenario, after selecting "New scenario" and seeing a dialog box, look just below the text box for the scenario text. The box is labeled "type". The dropdown will list the reasoning frameworks that are active. Select the one you want and it will be populated. 3. When you save the scenario the reasoning framework will fire. Watch the lower left corner to see the progress bar. This should do it. Another tip: Go to Project -> Persist Factbase This will save the scenarios, responsibilities, etc in teh database. Just using Save in the menu will not
