Release Notes : Prior Release Notes : Release Notes Version 6.5 : Appendix - Category and Method Name Changes
Appendix - Category and Method Name Changes
Modifications were made to a large number of category and method names on objects and accounts in order to adhere to a standard naming format. This included formatting all names in title case, including spaces between all words, removing terms such as “category”, “calculation” or “calc” from the names and in some cases making the name more descriptive of what the method does. Expect a large number of warning messages notifying you of the name changes the first time a model is loaded in RiverWare 6.5. These messages will include the text “Replacing old category name” or “Replacing old method name” for each changed name on each object. There should be no change in model behavior or results. Once the model is saved in RiverWare 6.5, the warning messages will not appear for subsequent model loads.
All name changes are listed below in the following six tables:
• Name Changes on All Reservoir Object Types,
• Name Changes on All Power Reservoir Object Types, Name Changes on All Power Reservoir Object Types
• Name Changes on Storage, Slope Power and Pumped Storage Reservoirs, Name Changes on Storage, Slope and Pumped Storage Reservoir Objects
• Name Changes on Reach Objects, Name Changes on Reach Objects
• Name Changes on Other Objects, Name Changes on Other Objects
• Name Changes on Accounts, Name Changes on Accounts
