Designer 6 - Application System

We have installed Oracle 8i as back-end on server and have also installed Repository Administration Utility with it. Than we installed Designer 6 on another PC connected to server through network. Now when I run designer with username scott (who is defined as manager in repository) the system shows a dialog box for application system. When I type any name and press 'Create' it gives an error- 'Open failed on activity' and does not create a new application system. I have tried to do this through respository object navigator also but again the same result. I ahve checked the permissions and have also reconciled the user and reconstruct the packages but nothing worked.
Moreover, I have tried with usernames internal and system as well but they are not defined in the repository users.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks.

I don't wish to spread doom and gloom, but the ORA-01422 message was the start of a long and miserable saga of Repository corruption and data loss for our site. It has taken me almost six months (on and off - I had other things to do) to recover about 95% of our data model, and we have lost most of the version history in the process.
Have a look at SRs 4947235.993 and 16210050.6 on Metalink.
I don't get onto these forums very much - too busy recovering repositories! - so I am sorry I didn't see your post earlier. I suspect that by the time you see the ORA-01422 error, it's too late to do anything about it. The Designer meta-model, unfortunately, doesn't give you all the information you need to resolve the issues on a row-by-row or element-by-element basis. The only solution I found was to delete as many of the corrupted entries as I could locate, then validate the remaining elements using the External References Utility, and then export the good bits to a clean repository.
The ROB (Repository Object Browser) is a useful aid in this exercise, as it seems to be more resilient than the RON, and will actually show you the duplicated elements. (I'm not sure that the ROB was in Version 6 - my problems were on Version 9i.) Of course, you can't manipulate data through the ROB, and you can't access the error elements through the RON, so you need to be somewhat devious about finding ways to eliminate the duplicates, but it can be done (mostly).
Hope this helps a bit.

Grouping collected versions of Designer 6 application systems in 10g

Hello,
I wasn't sure how to make the Subject clear, hopefully I'll explain my problem anyway.
I'm testing the migration of application systems from Designer 6 to Designer 10g. Some of the v6 application systems are versioned in the sense that we created new versions and froze the current one, i.e in the RON, select Application > New Version in v6. So, we may have several 'versions' of an application system called TEST, i.e.
TEST (1)
TEST (2)
TEST (3)
... and so on to TEST (X). X is live, the rest are frozen.
In the 10g RON, each version (all frozen and live) of TEST appears as a separate Container in its own right. Imagine we have this situation with other named application systems we've migrated - we're dealing with a big list in the RON.
What I want to do is group all my TEST containers under a 'TEST' top level container to make navigating a bit easier (so I can expand the top level only if I want to see all the versions underneath). I did this and used the option 'Copy Application System' to copy TEST (1) and TEST (2) into this TEST top level. Unfortunately the audit info for TEST (1) and TEST (2) under the new TEST container has been lost - they now have today's date. As they're copies, I still have TEST (1) and TEST (2) as explicit Containers in their own right, but I can't see how to group them as I'd like without losing this audit info.
So - is this possible? If so, what am I doing wrong?
Hope I've explained myself. I should add we're not switching versioning on in 10g yet, so we've the GLOBAL_SHARED_WORKAREA for the moment.
Thanks, Antony

Michael,
Thanks again. We need to bring older versions of the frozen application systems, e.g. TEST(4), as we have interdependencies with other application systems (in terms of shared objects). Otherwise we would have only brought the latest versions over to simplify things.
When you say at the end of your reponse to 'start the SCM's method of versioning', you're talking about switching the versioning on in 10g, right? We were going to migrate our v6 content and use the GLOBAL_SHARED_WORKAREA for the moment, and enabling versioning and all that entails would be the next phase.

In Designer, old application system disappears after New version and ORA-01562

In Designer 2.1.2, after starting (RON 2.0.24.1.1) Application / New version,
error ORA-01562 occurred (because I have a smaller rollback segment on line).
Now I can't find in repository
old version (1) of my application system,
but new version (2) exists in repository.
Unchecking the 'Show Current Versions Only' check box doesn't help.
Even Designer API statement:
'SELECT id, name, version
FROM ci_application_systems'
displays only new version (2).
Means this that Designer:
- first changes old version number to new version number and commits
- and then copies new version to old?
How to return old version number (without Designer API)?
Thanks and regards
null

Answer from Oracle
(MetaLink Technical Forums):
'When Designer versions it takes a snapshot of the first version
and then changes the originals version number to 2.
If designer run out of rollback segments while creating a new version
it will not show the old version again.
This is a bug (818860). It is in the resolution stage.'

Hi Timo.
In my application all the navigation rules are defined in faces-config.xml.
But I found following statement in the "fusion developers guide"
'**You cannot specify dialog:syntax in navigation rules within the faces-config.xml file if your Fusion web application uses ADF Controller features such as task flows. However, you can use the dialog:syntax in the control flow rules that you specify in the adfc-config.xml file.**'
Since, my application is using faces-config.xml for defining navigation rules and using task-flow as well, I suspect , this is the root of my problem.
Do u have any solution for it?
Thanks

Oracle Designer Import - Missing Application Systems

Hi,
I'm tryiing to import an Oracle Designer data model into SQL Developer Data Model 3.0, which I downloaded today. I seem to have my connection to the Designer repository set up OK and I can select the non-versioned Workarea. When I click Next none of my application systems are displayed. The Oracle Designer build is 9.0.4.6.19 and the the DMBS is version 10.2.0.4. Any suggestions as to what I'm missing, greatly appreciated.
Ian

Phil,
Any idea on liikely timeframe for a fix? Our situation is basically that we are worried about potential issues with Designer as we upgrade to Windows 7 and Oracle 11gr2 some time next year. Other parts of the company use PowerDesigner and that is one alternative; we're hoping Oracle Designer will continue to work but we want to be proactive and we'd also like to look at the SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0 as another option. I can show people here some of the features, but a clean import of the Designer data would be a huge plus as we have 3,000 + database objects. If this is something that is slated to be corrected reasonable short-term, I'll just wait to give any demonstrations and push the product further until that functionality is available. Alternatively, if this is not available any time soon, I can try to demonstrate some of the functionality with a "build from scratch" modeling exercise.
Thanks,
Ian

Error when trying to create an Application System

Hi everybody,
I've installed on my computer Personal Oracle 8i and Designer 6.0. For the installation, I used valuable informations from someone called Mark (he's on this list - thank you very much) but I still have a problem: when I try to create a new Application System, I got the following error messages:
RME-00011: Operation 'open' on ACTIVITY has failed
RME-00011: Operation 'INS' on ci_application_systems has failed
Does anybody know what is causing these errors? I searched through help but the proposed solutions are very generic. They just say "Try to find more specific errors".
Can someone help me, please?
Thanks in advance,

How to synchronize two applications system

HI,
I work witj Designer 9i, in a Non-versioned Repository. I create a copy of an application system on the same repository.
I would like to know if there is some mechanism that will synchronize the two application system copies. What i want is how to automate the replication of any modification I made to the copy, in the original application.
Thanks for your help,
Malika

Hi Roel,
I want to do this because in our organization the repository is non versioned, and we want to make copies for the application system in purpose to sure that only Data modeler and DBA will access it. The developers can't update it. In the original application system we will replicate the changes and then developers go on with their Treatment modules.
Thanks for your reply ,
Malika

Multiple Application Systems

Hi, everybody!
I'm developing an ERP application on Designer 6i r4, made of
multiple modules (e.g., "Global", "Sales", "Financial" etc.).
Some elements of each module (e.g., "Business Functions") need
to be available for use in the other ones.
1. What is the best structure to do that?
- A single Application System for the ERP, with children Folders
for each module?
- An Application System for the ERP, with children Application
Systems for each module?
- Other structure?
2. Do I need to perform some special operation to "share" the
elements with the modules?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Tetsuya,
here are more details for the procedure mentioned above:
Datafiles of transport requests are in most SAP-Installations located in /usr/sap/trans/data. They are named R<# of transport request>.<SID>
The cofiles are in most SAP-Installtions located in /usr/sap/trans/cofiles. They are named K<# of transport request>.<SID>
Do NOT change the names of the files. We've discovered that it's safer to zip those files, as some virus scanners in email-servers may scramble the files.
Locate the files in the appropriate directory of the target system and go to the import-queue using STMS.
Chose Extras / Other requests / Add to add the request to the queue (note: you must use the request number of the source-system e.g. <SID>K900123)
When you start the import, choose option "Overwrite Objects in unconfirmed Repairs", when you want existing objects to be overridden.
Hope, this helps

RME-02105 AND ORA-00955 WHEN EXPORTING APPLICATION SYSTEM

WHEN TRYING TO EXPORT APPLICATION SYSTEM FROM RON.
and after resbonding to the messsage "Export tables are already populated,you want to clear them?" by "yes" ,I RECIEVED THE ABOVE ERRORS .
I USE ORACLE databse 8.1.7 with Oracle Designer 6i Version 6.5.52.1.0.
is ther any help?

OK,
I have read the link and I have talked with our DBA. He says taht we are working with a 9.2 (9.2.0.7 exactly) version. In this version he believes taht the only way to use the flashback query feature was through the use of the utility package DBMS_FLASHBACK. Therefore, the sentence ALTER database flashback that would work on a 10g version off does'nt have sense on 9.2.
Anyone knows how to avoid the flashback error in a 9.2 environment?

Merging application systems between workareas

Hi,
We have a number of application systems with shares to and fro and these should be migrated to designer 6i. During a pilot one of these application systems is migrated. Now the rest has to be migrated and we come across a "problem". During the transfer from designer 6.0 to 6i new application systems are created and so we get some doubles. The idea was to create a versioned repository and insert all application systems. After this has been done we plan to insert the already migrated application system into the same repository but into a different workarea, a private workarea.
We hope that we can merge modules between these workareas. Does anyone have experience in this kind of matter??? Please advise.
Regards,
Pascal

This depends on your requirements, some industries require encryption, others not.

Check Note 973450 - Oracle Advanced Security: Network encryption

Has someone physical access to the network? Is it a separated (isolated) network?

Copying application system within a repository

We have a scenario whereby a certain application system needs to be copied. The logic behind this is to have an extra version of the application system, after which the source version will be frozen. The newly-made copy will be used as a new work-copy. We do not want to use version control.
When copying application system 1 (AS1) to AS2, it appears that certain references are going crooked. The copying itself was effected by right mouse clicking on highlighting AS1. (Should 'external references' have been checked before the actual copying action?)
After actually having copied the application system, the following happens: Relationships can now be found cross-application system. For instance a business function in AS2 can refer to another one in AS1. This is not the desired effect. We would like for AS2 to act independent of AS1.
Is this possible? Does anybody have any experience in this kind of matter? Designer version 9.0.4.5.6 is used. Any feedback would be more than welcome.
Kind regards from the Netherlands.

Hi Brett,
You can export the application system present in the 6i repository into a dump file using Export utility available under Utilities--> Export menu option in Repository Object Navigator and then import it into the 9i repository using the import utility available under Utilities--> Import menu option again in Repository Object Navigator.
If there are User Extensions in the 6i repository, then you will need to extract these User Extensions before exporting the application system and load these user extensions into the 9i repository before importing the dump into the repository.
Extracting and Loading of user extensions can be performed using the Extract User Extensions and Load User Extensions utilities available under User Extensions in Repository Administrative Utilit

Application System

After I created a repository in Oracle Designer R6.0 Front Panel 6.0.3.1.0 in Windows NT Version 4,0.When I create an Application system, the error meassage ORA-01403 no data found. If I go through Repository Object Navigator also the

ORA-06502 PL/SQL numeric or value error.

If you are using a ORACLE8 server then your large_pool_size of the SGA is probably to small. I've got the same problem. I raised the size of the large_pool within the SGA to about 15Mb and than the problem was gone.
