It can be used to identify objects that need to be reviewed, or apply internal status flags. This new feature includes a new tab in the Object Browser, a new report, a new administration screen and new right click menu options.

Added the ability to export the documentation of an entire repository to PDF. This is useful for archiving systems in their current state or providing the documentation to third parties. This feature is accessed on the repository administration screen.

Added the ability to use square brackets to group search terms within the Object Code Browser and Object Pattern Browser.

Added the ability to fully expand a single node when viewing the Source Explorer or Business Rules Explorer.

Added a new feature to the Enterprise Explorer tab which allows the user to backtrack through an application. The quick browse tab displays all calls made to the current program.

Added the ability to compare old and new exports of COBOL or C# code.

Added the ability to build a runtime package from an extraction target package.

Released ATPComm, a feature that allows external communication between your Windows programs and programs running in your ATP runtime environment. This is a Shadow/EntireX replacement.

Added support for entering comments when checking in objects. The comments appear in the history of the object and are available during the runtime build process.

Added support for cursor placement using a mouse click.

Added support for the Natural REQUEST DOCUMENT command. Added the ability to search for particular objects on the Alias tab (a SaveAs feature).

[Only available for GDA, PDA, LDA, DDM objects] Finds all objects that call the selected object and provides the option to check out these related objects.

@USERINADGROUP adds the ability to check if a user belongs to a specified active directory group and @EXECSTOREDPROC executes a stored procedure referenced by the call.

Adds the ability to make a runtime target the extraction target of another runtime target to follow promotion methodology for code release.

Adds the ability to compare two executed traces and adds a feature to find verbs within an executed trace.

Adds a new user level 'Security Administrator' which only has access to the User Security administration features, not the Target administration.

Adds the ability to search the user list in the User Security window.

Adds the ability to sort group arrays.

Adds the ability for the compiler to terminate an IF statement as soon as a condition is first true.

ATP can display the definition of a data item when the mouse is hovered over the data item within the object code. The tooltip is hot so clicking on the tool tip will move the mouse pointer to the definition location.

Objects placed on a MAP can be automatically aligned to the left, right, top or bottom using new toolbar buttons.

Each user can now chose to turn on an auto complete feature for variables, system variables and commands used within the editor of ATP.

RunTime packages can now be rolled back to previously deployed versions. This powerful feature allows all of a package or individual objects within a package to be reverted to the previously released version. The rollback happens within seconds and can be implemented immediately if a release does not go as planned.

ATP can be set to alert the user via e-mail when specific events occur within ATP. Events include: * If an object the user has checked out is re-assigned by an administrator to another developer * When any of the users changed objects are rolled into a runtime * When any development target the user has access to is changed, this includes checkins from any other developer * When any RunTime target the user has access to is changed, this includes objects from any other developer * When 'watched' objects are checked in

Administrative users can now choose to see the in flight changes to program objects that have been checked out by other users.

Remote execution trace controller interface now contains a program flow chart visual to aid in gaining an overall program flow view of what happened in the trace.

Added the ability to start programs in normal run mode or debug mode from the Object Explorer instead of requiring a portal entry point.

Added the ability to create and edit user level messages within the Natural environment.

Added a feature to capture the actions of a user from the perspective of the program, recording each object the user interacts with, and what action was taken. This information can be used to determine if program or user error is involved in an issue.

Added the ability to monitor the testing of changes to the program code. This is accomplished by using Remote Execution Trace feature. The Program Detail report is accessed from an executed trace request and reviewed for lines of code that have not been tested.

Displays all active programs in the current thread as the program is executing. The current program location is always on top.

A new macro that allows the insertion of native Java or C# code directly into eavRPM.

A new user specific setting for the displayed font size in the script editor.
