Error Received: Invalid repository user or password!
THe repository is on a SQL 2008R2 Server, using an OBDC connection. Authenticity of the login id is "WIth Integrated Windows Authentication".
I'm trying to login with repository ID = Public. I can see in the PMUSER table the UserID has a null password.
In the Repository Definition - the "Test" works.
We are using PD16.0 on our project and we are starting to develop releases in parallel. I am evaluating how the branching functionality works. The documentation does a pretty good job at explaining branching but is severly lacking in explaining integrating branches. What I am finding is that the integrating is not working as I expect. Here are the steps of my test:
Is this the correct behavior for checking in a change to a branch that is not the default branch?
Hi
I am fairly new to PowerDesigner tool and would appreciate the help. I am trying to modify an exisitng CDM but the CDM is all over the place and the biggest challenge I have right now is to update the case from UpperCase to MixedCase for certain attributes. There are about 1500 of such attributes/data items that I need to change the CASE for. I don't know how it happened because at the model level, the CASE option for data items/attributes has been set to MixedCase. Instead of changing all 1500 manually, i was wondering if PowerDesigner offers a way to change the case in an interactive/batch mode.
Thanks for the help
Have you experienced any issue with migrating the metadata for the Primary Key column not migrating to the children after you established the relationship.
Steps to reproduce the errors.
1.Create a relationship from Parent to child and add a comment to the Primary Key in the parent table.
2.Save the model
3.Update the Parent Primary key definition and open the child FK attribute which is the primary key of the parent. You do not see the updated comments on the child FK.
Is there a fix for this problem? If so, what version onwards the fix is available? I am using 16.0 PD.
I am having difficulty getting LDAP authentication to work with the PowerDesigner Portal service. I can still connect with the ADMIN account or any other non-LDAP account (i.e., PD account) via the portal, but that won't work very well as a long term solution.
I am able to authenticate using LDAP with the full client product without issue.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know how to determine which objects have NOT had permissions (GRANT) applied to them in a model?
I've created a list report that shows the Object, Grant, and User, but I need to know which objects have not had privileges created for them.
Once that is available, anyone know how to create an Excel file from which I can import grants to objects?
Thanks.
Hi,
I recently installed Power Designer 11 on Windows 7.
Everything went ok, except for the last part.
It gets stuck at the 'Registering Modules' section and doesn't seem to progress.
Any ideas or solutions to this issue?
Best Regards,
Timothy
When generating a LDM from a CDM, PowerDesigner builds a FK reference as an "Integer" from a PK specified as a Serial (8). When the PDM is created the FK reference is transformed to an "INT4". The FK reference should be specified as a " Long Integer" so that the FK reference in the PDM would become "INT8". Where can this conversion or mapping be modified so that we so not have to manually update the column specifications in the LDM? See example below. We are using the PostgreSQL 9 DBMS properties file.
I know just the basics of PowerDesigner and I have the following issue. We are developing an applicatrion which may run on SQL Server or Sybase ASE. In case of making any changeson the db schema we create a script containng all the changes before applying it to the database. We can do it for each RDBS but it would be very convenient if we could "translate" this delta script from SQL Server to ASE or from ASE to SQL server.
Maybe if use mapping? I am afraid I have never used it before

I want to start using the PowerDesigner Portal 16.1, but I’m having trouble setting up this feature of PowerDesigner.
1- I select the Portal option.
2- I select the PowerDesigner Portal Server option
3- I select the Install new Tomcat 6.0 option, and use the default ports.
4- I choose to install a new JRE (default option).
5- I set the parameters of my connection to the repository, but an error occurs while testing (Java error: cannot test database connection)
I have used the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver 3.0 and 4.0 for the installation, but the results were the same as in the previous screenshot.
Instead of using the default JRE that comes with the installation, I have used the JRE 6.0 and 7.0, but the results were the same as in the previous screenshot.
I can connect to the database with PowerDesigner without a problem (using the ODBC), so I know that the user and password are correct.
In order to check the log file, I have finished the installation of the portal. While trying to log-in, a “not able to connect to server…” message obviously showed up.
As expected, the log has mostly “Failed to initialize database connection” error messages. I could not gather much insight from this file. I am sending it in attachment, as it could help more expert users to decipher what can be the reason for this issue.
Have any of you had the same problem while installing the Portal? What could be the problem with my setup? This is bringing a lot of problems for my project, as I need the PowerDesigner Portal up and running, in order to allow non-PowerDesigner users to access the contents of the repository.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards,
Mario Silva
some prospects asked me for a chinese version. are there any plans?
Any suggestion how to structure the PD repository (i.e. TOGAF)?
Why it takes so long to post a question/answer? Any thing you post takes couple of days with the moderators to release. Why there is a big delay in postings? There are people waiting for response and this forum takes forever to get a posting out for couple of days.
Very disappointed with the way this forum performs.
I am sorry but I am not very happy the way the forum is performing.
I did some moving of diagrams and entities recently between CDM’s in Sybase Powerdesigner 15.3
And I discovered I ended up with some double entities (one base and a shortcut one referencing to that base entity in the same model).
Anyhow: I like to know if there is a way to merge the entity and its shortcut into one again (without breaking shortcut references to other models).
Thanks a lot in advance,

I'm trying to make a copy of a conceptual model (*.cdm) that resides in the repository, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. The model currently resides within one folder in the repository. My goal is to create a separate copy of this model in a different folder in that repository.
I have tried checking out and checking back in, but PD won't allow me to specify a different folder, name, or version during check-in. Can anyone help?

Could anyone tell me, how can I add event icon at the begin of some flows (see fig. below)? There is no such icon by default.
Thank you.

"I am writing an article on Business Architecture and how it relates to the Zachman Ontology. I found, downloaded and reviewed a 16 meg presentation from www.sybase.com/zachman. Around 25-26 minutes into the 31 minute presentation, an Impact Analysis model was displayed and briefly discussed. I would like to footnote, reference or hyperlink a Sybase/PowerDesigner document or artifact on the Web that discusses the Impact Analysis. While I intend to briefly discuss the Impact Analysis in my article, I DO NOT intend to present any significant detail. However, I do hope the reader will click on the footnote, reference or hyperlink and seek out additional information.
As a published author, I most certainly understand copyrights and simply want to redirect the readers of my article to an excellent document or artifact freely available in the public domain of the web on the Sybase/PowerDesigner Impact Analysis. Please recommend which Web based document or artifact that I could use as a footnote, reference or hyperlink that explains the power and potential of the Impact Analysis."
Well, we held our inaugural PowerDesigner user group meeting at the Morgan Stanley offices in Canary Wharf on Wednesday, and it was great! I hope that I’m not the only one to think so, and that we have many more...
The half-day meeting included the following sessions:
* PD 16.5 demo
* Introduction to SAP HANA
* Using the PD Glossary and Library
* Reporting in PD 16.5
* Dealing with large models and many concurrent modellers
* What's different now that PD is owned by SAP?
If you didn't manage to get there, would you attend future events like this one?
