Design Model applications?

The last step in creating a new application has a checkbox with "Save this definition as a design model for reuse" next to it. I could not see an explanation of "design model" in the HTML DB user's guide or on the Internet.
Questions
1) Does this mean you can have one or more template applications to speed up the development of new application?
2) How do you change an application from not being a Design Model to being one? I created a template application without marking it as a Design Model. How can I make it one? I have the application export, but when I import it, I cannot designate it as a Design Model application.
3) In the past I created some "test" applications with the checkboxs checked. I have since deleted these "test" applications, but they are still in the list of Design Model applications. How do I remove them from the Design Model list?

Mike,
When you use the create application wizard, then the page definitions of the pages you’re adding to your application are saved as a model. So all the information about your form pages, report pages, tabular form pages, and if selected, your analysis pages, are all saved if you choose that option. When you use the create application wizard the next time, you will be able to re-use that application definition, perhaps modify it, add new page definitions, change existing page definitions, etc. And then you can create a new application based on that updated model. You can not go back to a model to modify an existing application, nor can you create a model for an application that previously didn’t have one.
Please note that a model only stores information about your pages. Your other selections, like what theme you want to use, if you want to copy over any shared components, what kind of authentication you want to use, etc. are not stored in the model. So if you want to save a full application for future re-use, it’s best to export it, or create copies of the application.
In order to delete an application model, you can go to your application administration, then click on manage service and go to application models. There you’ll find a list of models and a button to delete those that are no longer needed. Deleting a model has no effect on any existing applications.

Marc

  • ERD designer model dump file from Oracle Consultancy

    Hi,
    I downloaded the following link:
    Oracle Designer 6i Model (application system dump file, version 1.0) 2.48M (zip)
    from this site:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/designer/content.html
    then I uploaded to a database, but I don't understand the tables imported there.
    Could you please tell me more about these tables???
    Tx.

    Edgardo
    If you are referring to the zip file that you get when you download 'Designer Model (application system dump file, v1.0)' then this is an application export that you should load into Designer directly. Do this by performing the following steps with the unzipped file:
    1. Invoke the RON as the user which will own the resulting application system
    2. Select Utilities > Import
    3. Select 'Import from an ORACLE database file', and click Next
    4. Browse to the unzipped file, and click next
    5. If you see a dialog telling you that there are already temporary export tables, think carefully about what they might contain. Generally you can ignore this content, but the repository user you are using might have been in the middle of an export or import. If it's OK to overwrite them, click Yes. If you click No the process will abort.
    The resulting application system contains the Designer meta model definitions and diagrams.
    Hope this helps

  • Create Application Design Model

    Hi,
    APEX version is 3.2.1.
    When you create a new application, there is the option to choose an existing application design model.
    But in our case there are no existing application design models and I don't find how to create one.
    Any ideas? Is it possible to create an application design model from an existing application?
    Thanks,
    Matthias

    Hi Bill,
    The last step of creating an application using the Application Creation wizard contains a checkbox that allows you to save your definition (i.e. the options you selected) as a design model, which can then be re-used in the first step of the Application Creation wizard in future (it's very easy to miss that final checkbox).
    Another option you might find helpful is the 'Application Builder Defaults' option which appears in the 'Tasks' list on the right hand side of the Application Builder home page (if you're using a later version of APEX that is). Here you can define the default theme, tab level etc to use as your defaults.
    Another option you might find helpful is the publish/subscribe functionality which is a huge aid in reusing 'standard' functionality/look & feel etc across all your applications. You can (for example) copy and subscribe to a master List Of Values, and then when the master list of values (in another application) is modified you have the option of either pulling down the changes from subscribing application, or having the master application push out the change to all the subscribing applications (which could be in the hundreds etc).
    Hope this helps,
    John.

  • ANNOUNCE:  Designing JSF Applications: a Storyboard Approach — Part 2

    Hello,
    In the second article of this series on using storyboard design for Web applications, Steven Murray explains how to map the Storyboard design to a JSF implementation, giving special attention to Storyboard Controllers.
    Here is an excerpt:
    In part 1 of this series we discussed how to create storyboard designs for Web applications. In part 2 we are going to focus on how to map the design to a JSF implementation, giving special attention to Storyboard Controllers.
    Controllers are the heart of the presentation tier, where they manage the behavior of the UI and direct the flow of information between the presentation and business models. Almost every article I read on JSF, and even the specification itself, references Model View Controller (MVC) without providing any concrete examples on how to actually use it in a JSF project. I hope to change that with the introduction of the Presentation Model.

  • How to design Java application?

    What are the general guidelines and best practices to keep in mind while designing Java application?
    Hi
    I recently completed Java programming tutorial from Sun and practised core java (I have previous programming experience). Now I understand the basics of Inheritance, Abstraction , Polymorphism,Encapsulation
    Now i am writing Java code without much difficulty, but am not sure of application design. This is my main problem: "DESIGNING" the application. Say if i have given a task to create an application in Java, What should I start up with? How to think about? Any formal/informal guidelines I should follow while developing class hierarchies? I am really confused (abstract class or interface or sub class..?). Should I start by model everything, before writing code?
    It would be very useful for people like me to have a SET OF GENERAL GUIDELINES/BEST PRACTICES, which we can follow while start developing a new java application.
    Please provide me some guidelines/thoughts/books/resources/tools I should read or Use
    Thanks in advance
    Scott

    Not necessarily. While some programmers may be Software Engineers others may not have the knowledge base of someone who has read at least one SE book. An practical example is outsourcing. Typically, the code writing (programming) bit is outsourced with the requirements gathering (an SE task), cost management (project mgmt. or SE task), time management (PM or SE), etc. kept locally.
    Look, I'm not going to reply further because this is going to run on and on and on. To put it into my local patois, "Alz I'm gonna tell youse is ta read da software engineering book, okay?"*

  • Designing SAPUI5 Application

    Hello, I am trying to gather some feedback regarding development of complex applications using SAPUI5. The scenario I have is to replicate an application which was developed in WebDynpro Java a couple of years back in SAPUI5. The WebDynpro Java Application is a loose replica of transaction IW32.
    How would I go about designing an application that has more about 100 fields spread out across 5 steps? What would the data design need to look like from a Gateway service perspective? Also how would I handle dynamic screen design i.e. Not all 100 fields are visible to all users of the application, in WebDynpro Java I play with visibility by reading the data from ECC - doing this in Java Script seems to be more challenging.
    Any thoughts / ideas will be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    I would follow the below step for developing Fiori like app:
    1. Design Thinking - Take the 1:1:3 approach - 1 user, 1 Role and 3 Screens
    2. Do the prototyping of your app with the help of kit, see below for the link
    3. Build the Odata Model to get data from business suite
    4. Develop the app using ECLIPSE with SAPUI5 add-ins.
    Here the link for Fiori design guidelines

  • Design model of cProjects

    Hi Experts,
    I am interested in understanding the design model of cProjects.
    I mean the way design patterns are used and also the general architecture of cProjects.
    Thanks in advance.
    best Regards,
    Arti.

    Hi Arti,
    Release 4.0 onwards, cProjects is a web dynpro abap application. It deploys MVC architecture so that the application code is kept separate from the user interface. You may search papers on MVC architecture to understand more on the functionality and deployment.
    Here is a [Patent Application Publication|http://www.google.co.in/patents?hl=en&lr=&vid=USPATAPP10327686&id=SYmUAAAAEBAJ&oi=fnd&dq=SAPcProjectsgantt+chart] published by Meyringer on cProjects Gantt Chart. I think this one refers to cProjects 3.0, but helps to understand the technical architecture behind the cProjects graphical view.

  • Approach to designing model layer

    Hi,
    I am keen to understand different approaches/routes to be followed to design model layer of an ADF project.
    As an example, the embedded URL shows the logical hierarchy strucutre of various business modules -
    http://www.slideshare.net/AnkitGupta55/hierarchy-23178558
    The logical structure will govern how the data will be shown to the user based on his selection of a value of in a top level LOV/Query component.
    For Ex:  if the user choose Child 1, then he should be able to see hierarchy : Main > Child 1 > Sub child 1
    Every module in the diagram has a backend supporting table, however, the tables may not have the similar relationships. So a follow up query would be - Is it mandatory to have an identical table relationships as depicted in the diagram.
    Also, request you to share suggestions on designing Entity Objects, View Objects etc.
    JDeveloper Version - 11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1
    Best Regards,
    Ankit Gupta

    Hi,
    Every module in the diagram has a backend supporting table, however, the tables may not have the similar relationships
    What do you refer to as module? The blocks as I see them can be treated as entities with associated VO. The relation between the two can be defined using entity associations or view links. Unfortunately its not easy to answer your question without knowing what you do know and what you don't know about ADF BC. Have you tried ADF (e..g running a tutorial) or have you only theoretical experience with the product. If you write ....
    request you to share suggestions on designing Entity Objects, View Objects etc.
    What exactly are you looking for and what does "etc." stand for in regards to the technology aspect it would represent? Entities and VO can be derived from an existing database infrastructure. If you don't have this, starting with teh ADF BC Diagrammer is a good way to start with. All documentation are accessible from otn.oracle.com/products/jdev

  • Running Design studio application in Netweaver platform

    HI All,
      I have developed a complex Dashboard project with nearly 105 queries in Design Studio(1.2) application in BI BOBJ 4.1 SP 3 and its working fine.
    All my data sources are BW queries.
    Now we want to see if we can deploy the application directly on Netweaver  platform instead of BOBJ and create an Portal iView based out of Design Studio application.
    Please let me know the steps to migrate the reports.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Accessing a SAP BW table data to display content in Design Studio Application

    Hi,
    I am working on a Design Studio application that contains a link to all the reports for different business users in an organization. The end user should see the links to only those reports he/ she has access to. This access rights are stored in a SAP BW table. I want to pull that data from SAP BW table to my application so that I can implement a layer of security in my application.
    1) What would be a good idea to get SAP BW table data in a design studio application.(This data is not used to populate my application, but will be used to check access rights for a user who is going to open this application).
    2) What will be a good option for deployment of this application ? On SAP Netweaver platform or on SAP BI Platform

    Hi Michael,
    Let me present my issue in a more clear format,
    I have a web template launch page that was created using BW 3.5. This web template has only one web item and that is 'role menu'. This role menu will display all the available list of web templates for each user as per the access rights of each user. Hence this web template was the only door for my end users to access BEx reports.
    While we were migrating to 7.x we found that there were no equivalent item available in 7x  version. As a workaround, I migrated all the queries and web templates from 3.5 to 7x but I didn't migrate the door. I asked my Basis team to replace the connection parameters for the links present in the door.
    So now all my users still use the 3.x web template but when they click on items in the list, they will be accessing reports that are of 7x version.
    Now my IT is planning to upgrade IE and knowing that bex 3.5 tools are not compatible with BW 7.4. This sounds like the role menu won't work at all with 7.4.
    I started exploring Design Studio to search for an alternative for Role Menu component. I created an application using HTML template in Design Studio. Now I am looking for different approaches to implement the same functionality in Design Studio. Can you please provide some inputs on this scenario.

  • Why we need Custom controllers in Model Applications

    Hi Friends
    In Adaptive RFC Model Application we can use both the controllers for creating contex structure
    wat is the main aim for using custom controller
    it has any special feature in custom conrollers
    i read both the controllers have same functionality n flexibility
    any body differentiate these two controllers
    n which one is efficient for connecting Model applications
    Regards
    Narayana

    Hi Narayana,
    There are many situations when you need custom controllers over component controller.
    Suppose you have one DC and you want to make some part of this DC as Public which may include Local context nodes, elements, methods or model context with specified methods to process some functionality. By Interfacing a custom controller with all the exportable methods and context you reach to a certain level of security.
    In this case you are distributing your module in multiple custom controllers which ultimately reduces complexity of programming, code and obviously execution time.
    This is up to  the developer, if he/she wants to create custom controllers or not, but yes in certain situations you should go for custom controllers. It is always good to have multiple custom controllers when you are using single DC for different modules.

  • Unable to execute existing Design Studio applications from BI Launchpad after updating to 1.4!

    Hello Experts,
    We upgraded our SAP BO from 4.0 to SAP BO 4.1 SP5 and also updated our Design Studio from 1.2 directly to 1.4.
    Upon testing the existing application in Design Studio it so happens that the existing application is sucessfully executed in local mode. However it does run from the BI Launchpad.
    I tried creating a new application in Design Studio 1.4 whick works fine in both local and BI launchpad but my previous created application in 1.2 (now loaded in Design Studio 1.4) should also work, I don't know the reason why it dosen't work.Need help on how to proceed further.
    Attached is the error which I get when ezecuting application in BI Launchpad.
    Reply Awaited.

    I read the article http://scn.sap.com/community/businessobjects-design-studio/blog/2014/11/26/ds-14-server-installation and it mentions just smooth execution of existing Design Studio application after updating to 1.4. Wish that would have been the case with me too!
    Looking forward to finding solution of the problem.

  • Import Oracle Designer model dependencies between objects

    Hello,
    I am using the Oracle Designer model import to fill Data Modeler. There are some views which have dependencies on each other, resulting that views which depend on other views are incomplete.
    Is there a way to rerun the import again in the same relational model, since the import utility now opens a new relational model again.
    Is there a kind of logging where you can find these kind of errors?
    Best regards,
    Joop

    Thanks Phillip, but I was actually referring to the version level of the Designer repository itself, not the database instance in which it resides. I seem to remember that you could not upgrade your Designer repository without also upgrading the Oracle Designer client as well; hence my question about compatibility between SQL Developer Data Modeler and various Repository versions.

  • Unable to open Design Studio Application in BI Launchpad after installing a plugin

    Hi,

    After that I have developed one plugin extension and installed it in Design Studio Client in the local desktop, then I have installed the same plugin in BI Platform too as shown below:
    After the installation of this plugin, whenever I try to open the Application in BI Launchpad I am getting an error screen as shown below:

    Hi,
    this exception is a server side exception. This means, the content is in the server logs. Please follow the support note for BIP which you can take from Design Studio 1.2 Release Information -> Design Studio - Support Note for BIP Add-On and you can attach the last exception callstack (you should be able to find this log ID).
    the first step would be to get the server run again - you can try to "uninstall" the extension, doe this help (always APS restart is requried).
    having the exception we can see what is wrong. Definitely something on the extension installation - is this plugin created by your own - any specialities there?
