Java class diagram - extending built-in classes

$
0
0

Hi all,

I'm a new user to PowerDesigner, and I am starting with a basic class diagram. I've created some classes that should extend the built-in class java.lang.Exception. However, when I try to select a class to inherit from, I cannot find Exception; the only classes that are listed are the ones that I have created myself.

 

Is there something special I must do to be able to use the built-in Java classes? I've read the product manual trying to figure this out, and had no luck. I'd appreciate any help figuring this out.


PD 16.5, Oracle 11.2 reverse engineering problem with foreign keys

$
0
0

General

- reverse engineering of big (almost 2k tables) schema, directly from DB is actually impossible due to 'server does not respond' status.

- reverse engineering from create.sql files is really fast.

- TOAD for Oracle generates this kind of create.sql files. The files are arranged in such a way that first all the tables are created and then all indexes and constraints(primary and foreign keys etc.) done. This structure of the create.sql file is reasonable since otherwise the tables have to be arranged in some rigid sequence, that even probably does not exists.

 

Problem

When PowerDesigner 16.5 reverse engineers Oracle 11g create.sql file of above structure, the subsequent command of 'ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT' are not recognized at all. No error message is produced and required foreign keys are not created in model. Dividing the ALTER TABLE command onto simplest commands that include only one constraint each time, didn't help. On the other hand, inserting the constraints into 'CREATE TABLE' command, fixes the problem. But such syntax is non-practical, as it was mentioned above, since requires some rigid sequence of the table creation.

 

Could it be fixed by some kind of the PowerDesigner customization or this is bug? Is there some timeline for fix?

Where's my crows feet?

$

0

I'm sure this is an easy (silly) question, so apologies. I am using PD 16.5 and have just reverse engineered an Oracle 11g database which has created a physical data model with around 25 or so tables. The problem is, that the relationship lines between the tables have arrows on them, rather than crows feet?!?

 

I have played with the settings under Model Options, and tried all of the notation values (Relational, CODASYL, Conceptual, IDEF1X) and none of them seem to change the line to be crows feet??

 

When I double-click on the relationship line and view the detail of the relationship, I am teased with the crows feet notation at the top of the window, between the Child Table and the Parent Table, but it just won't show it in the main view. What am I missing?

 

Thanks in advance

Structuring an EA repository (TOGAF/PD/and a sensible TRM)

$

I am trying to take the first baby steps using PD as an EA  repository. As always, trick is in the establishment of a  structure that works well. Realize this will vary by  enterprise,  but am hoping to locate some good reference models to help.  Does not seem to be much out there from a big-picture EA  perspective. Anyone else having the same issues? Any  resources  out there to help? Anyone like to collaborate and learn from  each other's mistakes? NOTE - my starting point is the  PD-TOGAF  framework. Thanks. Bruce.

Missing Data Movement Model

$
0
0

I am trying to use PowerDesigner 15.3 (installed from ASE15.7) to map a replicated environment (icon for 1 RepServer, icons for ASE, repdef...) and present a nice diagram of our replicated environment.

 

In all the doc I read, it's said to go to File> New Model and choose "Data Movement Model" but I don't have this option. I only have "Free Model" and "Physical Data Model".

 

How can I import the "Data Movement Model" into PowerDesigner?

 

Thank you

portal question - shortcut targets

$
0
0

I am having an issue with navigation in the portal when I use shortcuts in a diagram.

 

First - my environment

- using 16.5 client/repository

- browser is Chrome

 

The use case:

- In an EA model I have an infrastructure diagram

- In this diagram I added shortcuts to other infrastructure diagrams. These reside in a sub-folder directly beneath the folder I am currently working in.

- When on the portal, clicking on these shortcuts takes me to the Shortcut properties (would ideally like to go directly to Target Object!!)

- On the property sheet for the Shortcut, one of the properties is Target Object - when clicking on this link it basically goes nowhere (i.e. stays on property sheet)

 

On the Client software, I can change this behavior by going to Tools > General Option > Dialog and changing the shortcut proprty sheet options.

 

As stated, ideally I would like the shortcut icon in the portal diagram to go to the target object. If that cannot be done, then I would at least like to be clicking on the target Object property in the Shortcut Property Sheet and actually end up at the Target Object.

 

NOTE: When the diagrams are all in the same folder, then this all works fine - clicking on the shortcut in one diagram goes directly to the property sheet of the Target Object (another Diagram). I was really hoping to be able to pretty seamlessly navigate through diagrams using appropriately placed shortcuts as visual cues. Since we are doing a fairly comprehensive coverage of EA, diagrams being "linked" in this fashion are not always going to be in the same folder.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Problem with Alter Script generation

$
0
0

I recently upgraded from Powerdesigner 16.0 to 16.5 and since then the generation of alter scripts for the latest changes to the data model are not running correctly.  A change to a "code" table that is referenced by many other tables fails (MS SQL Server 2008) because of the existence of a Foreign Key reference.  The tool use to generate these scripts correctly, i.e. they dropped all foreign key references and then altered the table and then recreated the foreign keys.  Not sure what has happened after the upgrade.  Does anyone else know what might have changed. 

 

I hope I have the correct forum, this is my first post under SAP (use to use Sybase often enough but the tool hasn't given me any trouble in a very long time).  I'll probably open a support case Monday, as this issue has only been noticed for the first time this last week but is a serious issue.  Still hoping it might be something simple that others already know.

 

thanks,

Resources for PowerDesigner custom development

$
0
0

I have been using PowerDesigner for over a year now and have just begun looking into extending PowerDesigner.  I am starting off with baby steps by adding a custom check to the check model option. What I have noticed is that there is not really a lot of resources out in the SAP web site. The metamodel is widely available and published but there are not many concrete examples of developing code for the different extensions.  Does anyone know of a resource that is available to help with custom development? Google has not been very helpful finding one.

 

Also, if anyone has an example of how to do a check on a Logical Data Model.Entity to see if it inherits from another Entity (specifically one named CODE) I would be grateful for the help.

Hello,

using PD 16.1,

in a XEM i have the following structure of Extended Objects:

screen1.PNG

 

The following code is reading a part of this structur :

Dim m As ExtendedObject
Dim n As ExtendedComposition
Dim so As ExtendedSubObject
Dim prio
Dim col
 Set col = InputModel.GetCollectionByStereotype("InformaticaMapping")
 For Each m In col    If m.Code = "M_xyxyxyxyxyxxyxy_Nachladen" Then        Output ">" & m.Code        Dim ec  As ExtendedCollection        Dim ecc 'As ExtendedCollection        For Each ec In m.ExtendedCollections            Output "ec-->" & ec.Name & "  -  " & ec.ClassName & "  -  no Stereotype"            For Each ecc In ec.Content                Output "ecc---->" & ecc.Name & "  -  " & ecc.ClassName & "  -  " & ecc.Stereotype                Dim eccec As ExtendedCollection                For Each eccec In ecc.ExtendedCollections                    Output "eccec------>" & eccec.Name & "  -  " & eccec.ClassName & "  -  no stereotype"                    Output "------>" & eccec.UOL                                          If ec.Name = "Source/Target2PDM" Then                        Dim x                        For Each x In eccec.Content                             Output "--- ------>" & x                             Output "--- ------>" & x.Code & " - " & x.Stereotype & " - " & x.GetExtendedAttribute("PDM Name")                             If x.Stereotype = "PDM" Then                                Dim y                                y = getPDMbyName(x.Code)                                If x = y Then Output "------- PDM object found !!! -----"                             End If                        Next x                                            End If                                                       Next eccec            Next ecc        Next ec  End If
 Next m

 

which creates the output:

? select_objects()

So far so good, but: every thing is working fine because i created all my objects using the PD forms:

screen2.PNG

 

but now i need to create the objects via VBS automaticly.

 

I figured out as the point to insert the subobjects into the content object of ec-->Source/Target2PDM  -  Extended Collection

 

    

   For Each ec In m.ExtendedCollections            If ec.Name = "Source/Target2PDM" Then                    Dim ecc            For Each mst In MSTL                Set ecc = ec.Content.CreateNew(PdCommon.cls_ExtendedCollection)

 

but when i try i always get the following error:

screen2.PNG

all ways trying to use createobject and then adding the object also failed

 

Any suggestions???

 

Thanks in advance

In order to implement a particular algorithm, I hae some difficulties to handle DataStructureColumn in TransformationSteps (creating and manipulating them), more particulary in a datajoin.

 

Is there someone have an example to make it ?

 

Thanks a lot,

Creating Dependency Matix between a Conceptual Data Model and a Logical Data model

Hi, I mapped the entities of a Logical Data Model as the source to entities of a target Cconceptual Data Model using the Mapping Editor. I wanted to create a Dependency Matrix with Conceptual Entities as row headers and Logical Data Model Entities in the Column Heading. I tried all the tricks in the PowerDesigner Help file with a spectacular failure. I attempted to define the Dependency Matrix in the Conceptual Data Model. The entities of the CDM showed up in the row heading all right but nothing in the column heading.

 

Thank you.

Listing of tables in a diagram

How do I get a .CSV of tables in a particular diagram ?

 

In Erwin, diagram names were expandable within the Model Explorer (Object Browser in PD). And you could then see tables only in that diagram.

 

In the List report Wizard, I could not see a way to know which property to put a filter on. The context sensitive help does not exist for various Filter fields to know what they mean.

 

Basically if there was a Graphical Selection option for the List Report, just like for the Report Wizard, it would have helped, but I don't see the Graphical selection when doing list reports.

Hi all,

 

We developped specific customisations within SAP Sybase PowerDesigner using scripts and extended models. 

 

Is there any method to protect such work ?

 

Thank upfront for your feedback.

How to make a symbol available for a given Diagram type ??

I am working with an EAM and would like to create a view that includes Business Function and Business Service. These two are not made available in the same diagram type. Has anyone tried to do something like make an Object (ex. Business Function) available in a diagram (ex. Service Oriented Diagram) when it is not available by default. I thought this would be easier since the object I am trying to make available (ex. Business FUnction) is already available for other diagram type in the same model (i.e. EAM)

 

Anyone done this? Successfully? What am I missing?

 

Thanks

Problem with licence - PD 16.5 SP2 x64

Hello,

 

I just updated PD to the last version.  While I use a x64 bit computer, I installed the x64 version (which didn't exist previously) but PD tell me my licence is invalid:

 

Error PD 16.5 SP2.JPG

 

When I check "details", I found : "This platform x64_n <> i86_n".  Need we regenerate a new licence file or must I switch back to i86 version ?

 

Kr,

Thierry
