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.

SQL Developer Data Modeling - import from Oracle Designer Model

Hi,
I do want to try to import model from a Designer repository.
The first step is to create connection to the repository (9i version).
I have created the one, however any attempt to test the connection or to go to the next step simply finishes with error "4", without any valueable message.
Any idea or suggestion ?
Thanx.

A clarification of the Data Modeling feedback application and this forum. The developers are part of the SQL Developer development team, but as for all our features, each developer has a focus area, so the Data Modeling developers will tend to answer those questions. There will not be a separate Data Modeling forum, so once we're production all SQL Developer Data Modeling questions will be on this forum. We want to encourage all users to get into the habit of tagging posts. Having the posts tagged means that users can skip them if they're not their focus area and users can search using the tags. The more tags are used in all the forums the better. You may well find find the answers to your questions are outside this forum!
As SQL Developer Data Modeling in in its first early adopter phase, we have provide a feedback application, where users can provide feedback, log bugs and ask questions. We did the same for SQL Developer before it's initial production release and found this to be very useful for the product.
I'm happy for "How To" questions to be on this forum, as the answers benefit the broader community.

Import model from Designer looses domains

Hello,
I have tried to import a model from Oracle Designer into Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler, and found that the domains where not imported. As a consequence all attributes defined by domains (most of ours) are defined by the domain "Unknown" after the import.
How can I import the domains from Oracle Designer?
Thank you,
Carsten

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

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

Unable to Create Entity Model from existing oracle database

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2013, .net framework 4.5, entity framework 5.0 and oracle 11g database.
Issue Description: I need to develop WCF service to exposing the account information which needs to get the data from 20 oracle tables. Trying to create entity model from existing oracle database. first i tried creating just two tables it
was created but it took more than 30 minutes. then i selected remaining few tables it took more than a days but nothing created just showing spinning the wheel. then i tried with fresh project and selected all the tables but same issue nothing created and
also there is no error. during this process i checked database query monitoring there is a big sql statement collection tables metadata. i don't know what was wrong the query taking too much time to complete the process.
we tried multiple machine and different oracle database all are same issue.
Sql server database -looks good no issues.
Any help/tips/ideas welcome to overcome this issue.

Hi Sakthimp,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
Your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue only occurred with oracle database, moreover Oracle developed the Entity Framework for Oracle itself, I suggest that you can consult your issue on Oracle forum/community:
you will get better solution and support there.

How to push Process model to design model?

I just learned how to capture business requirements and a logical design using the logical data modeler and process molder to create data flow diagrams, with composite, primitive and transformative processes in SQL Developer 3.0
I know in Oracle Designer we were able to associate entities to business functions and transform the business functions into modules of type PL SQL or screen, etc.... We could create detail design documents from this information in Oracle Designer. In Oracle Designer the modules would be associated to the physical table definitions. However, the data flows in SQL developer are associated to logical entities.
My question is can these objects/items (processes primitive, composite, transformative) be transformed into design items similar to how we transform a business function in Oracle Designer into a modulel?
Thanks
Mark
Mark Kramm

Hi Mark,
there is no support for applications and modules in Data Modeler.
Design can be exported to reporting repository and there is no limit in how you can utilize these meta data. Column groups and UI defaults can be defined at table and column level - I know some people are generating APEX applications and process model can be very helpful for that.
In Oracle Designer the modules would be associated to the physical table definitions. However, the data flows in SQL developer are associated to logical entities.Each entity can be mapped to unlimited number of implementations in form of tables in relational and physical models. You need to engineer logical model to one or more relational models. There is small wizard appearing in context menu of data flow diagram node in browser - "Transform Process model roles to Physical role". You can create roles in process model and assign them to processes connected to data stores. Then this wizard will create these roles in selected physical model and CRUD settings will be transferred to permissions to select, insert, update and delete for related tables. This is just example that physical model can be reachable from process model.
We'll add more utilization of definitions in process model in future releases.

Problem with "Capture Server Model from the Database"

I've installed Oracle-Developer-Suite 10g and Designer 9.0.4.5.6. The repository databse is Oracle 10g and the application database is Oracle 9i (about 700 tables for the application). After I started the Designer Editor, I got the follwoing message:
"No network notification service has been configured for this Repository instance. A desktop-only notification has been started."
What does it mean? What's wrong with the configuration? How can I avoid this problem?
Then I tried to "Capture Server Model from the Database". It took hours to read the data from the database. After reading the data, the following message occurs:
"138 overlaps could not be eliminated by AutoLayout as there is insufficient room to layout the items. Select a large area and retry"
I can not save the uncommited data into the repository.

1. Designer 9i was made to capture 9i DB functionality. So no it will not capture full 11 DB functionality.
2. Yes I have had some problems capturing from an 11DB and have written a bug on it.
Bug.7138247 (74) CANNOT DESIGN CAPTURE A TIMESTAMP(6) FROM 11G DB:
this is fixed in Designer 10.1.2.5

Import model from OWB repository

We have an OWB repository with several 100 tables, mappings, etc. what we try to import but SQL Modeler seems to import nothing although it gives no errors.
We've found that before importing all the OWB environment variables must be set.
Which we did.
Then it seems to connect to the repository, do some processing and returns but without any changes in the model.
Did anyone import model from OWB successfully?
We are using version 10.2 OWB and database.
Bye,
Gabor

OK ive imported from Designer into OSDM just fine.
Good. Glad this works.
However things I dont like so far ...;)
The properties palete can you make it like owb in that when i open it and change context in the browser it updates? I dont want to have to keep going show properties.
In future releases User Interface will be adresses to be more intuitive and to be more SQL developer alike
Pushing the OK button does not appear to do anything the properties window stays open so how is it different to apply?
Sorry, but we don't understand. Pushing OK should work and should close the property window.
Things I dont like... the number of clicks to see information ( no hotkeys or shortcuts )
Agree. In future releases User Interface will be adresses to be more intuitive and to be more SQL developer alike
Next Early Adopter will have new dialog for entities and tables
No drag n drop columns from 1 table to another. No right click on browser nodes to create keys etc No CTL drop no SHIFT drop
You can drag columns
an enhancement request will be created
Why cant I reorder columns by moving them in the browser? Then I could move them visually. This also applies to property paletes if I have to go to the effort of highlighting a current row then why cant I just grab it and move it?
You can reorder columns/attributes by the "up" and "down" arrows after you highlighted the column or attribute in their respective property window.
an enhancement request will be created for doing this from the browser and the grabbing
Appears to be no ability to set common properties over a number of attributes. If I select a number of columns I cant pull up a property pallete to set a common attribute on them.
an enhancement request will be created
I could not get the enginer to logical model to enable
Should work. when you have the relational model, use the engineering to logical model icon (2 red arrows) or the design menu option and do engineer to logical model
Otherwise looks promising
Thank you!!

Analysis, Design model, round-trip engineering

ok, here's the point.
We work with the problem domain and develop the analysis model. The analyst at this stage doesn't concern himself with the implementation details, some low-level code patterns and the programming language (well, let's forget for now about C's multiple inheritance and Java's workaround for it). So, when most of the analysis work is done, we end up with major classes (populated only with some basic attribs & behaviour; then, we have a high-level representation of business processes and corresponding activity diagrams. Of course, this model will be refined at a later stage, but for now it will do.
Say, we have the model in a project. Now we move to the design level. More and more details are added to the model, sequence/collaboration diagrams are added, we concern ourselves much more with the detailed class behaviour.
And here's the first question. Should we leave the original high-level diagrams intact and produce separate detailed ones? Generally, they represent the same process, but at a more detailed level. What about duplication of diagrams? Or should we elaborate the existing ones (but then we lose the clear and simple bird-eye view of the problem domain).
After that, we make a decision to implement the system as a set of EJB's. So, we've switch to component modeling at system design. UML model for these components differs quite a lot from a traditional one, so it can be quite painful to refactor the existing interaction diagrams. But do we need to do it? I agree that having <<EJBImplementation>>, <<EJBRealization>> , etc stereotypes displayed in the analysis model is not a nice solution.
Another question - is it a good idea to start a separate project for system design and just import/copy the required pieces from a higher-level design model? Or can we get away with combining all stages in one project file?
Please, read all of the above in the light of round-trip engineering. So, finishing after analysis stage, is not an option, but to lead the whole project to as low level as implementation details.
I'd like to hear from you, some hands-on experience with similar projects, your approaches. Feel free to comment on the flow of events.
Best regards,
Andrew

For full process control, on a large project, you will have a architecture design which will always reflect the target system but has little to do with the implementation design. If the architecture needs to change it means something was "wrong" with it (which could come about due to a change order or a refinement of the specification of the system.) There might be other associated high level documents which occupy the same level - such as the project plan. This would typically be the project initiation phase which occurs before software design starts.
Of course you would keep all of the documents. Just as naturally each version would be checked into the version control system.

That is always going to be a architecture or requirements decision (even if it is implicit.) If not then it suggests that there are probably at least three levels to the design process and the J2EE decision is in the top most layer (maybe there is a "high" and "low" level architecture process.) And architecture design must describe why J2EE was choosen and what if any alternatives were considered.
Again this document will be retained (and checked into version control.)

separate project for system design and just
import/copy the required pieces from a higher-level

In the abstract yes.
Why? Because in an ideal design environment, a "high" (system) level design is created by a small very experienced set of developers. Then it is handed off to many junior developers for "low" (detailed) design. That doesn't work if you are using the "same" design. This is only somewhat mitigated by design tools that somewhat support this process (or least last time I checked they didn't support it very well.)
Keep in mind that this is the ideal, and it is unlikely (probability wise) that you are working at or with a company where doing this is feasible much less encouraged.
Please, read all of the above in the light of
round-trip engineering. So, finishing after analysis
stage, is not an option, but to lead the whole project
to as low level as implementation details.
Round trip. You start with the documents that have been checked in. You branch the version control tree or just up the version numbers of the docs (depending on how "deliverables" are being handled) and start over.

Update Entity Model from Database in edmx

Dear All
Thank you for your attention.
I would like to know the easy way to modify the edmx after changes of database.
e.g. I modified a order table 's primary key from OrderNumber to ID
and so the foreign key constraint to another table is also changed from OrderNumber to ID
then open existing edmx and 'Update Model from Database'.
The tables are changed but there are errors
Error 1
Error 111: Properties referred by the Principal Role t1 must be exactly identical to the key of the EntityType Model.t1 referred to by the Principal Role in the relationship constraint for Relationship Model.FK_t2_t11. Make sure all the key properties are specified
in the Principal Role.
and two relations exists
How to modify the current edmx to let it works?
Thanks
Best Regards
mintssoul

Hello mintssoul,
>>I would like to know the easy way to modify the edmx after changes of database.
I suggest you could firstly delete these modified entities in the design window(it will delete these type definition in emdx file) and then use Update Model from Database command to re-generate these entities.

Mathematica Link for LabVIEW Integrates Design Models and Measurements

Mathematica Link for LabVIEW, a new technical computing
application created by BetterVIEW Consulting, is now available.
This software bridges National Instruments LabVIEW graphical
development environment and Wolfram Research Mathematica
technical computing software to help engineers and scientists
more easily acquire and analyze measurements throughout all
phases of the design process.
Mathematica Link for LabVIEW combines the data acquisition,
analysis, and graphical user interface capabilities of LabVIEW
and the modeling and analysis algorithms of Mathematica to speed
development of custom applications in hundreds of industries,
from quantum mechanics to automotive. With this software,
engineers can control a LabVIEW application (Virtual Instrument
or VI) from Mathematica or access Mathematica from within a
LabVIEW VI.
Mathematica Link for LabVIEW features built-in, high-level
functions for creating a communication path between LabVIEW and
Mathematica to achieve seamless integration throughout the
design flow, from the first mathematical model to validating the
final design. For example, engineers and scientists can easily
send numeric computations to the Mathematica kernel and return
results to LabVIEW, visualize LabVIEW data using native
Mathematica data visualization functions, and create simple, yet
flexible simulation and control VIs that take advantage of the
symbolic programming capabilities of Mathematica.
Integrating two leading technical computing systems like
Mathematica and LabVIEW brings technical professionals one step
closer to having the ideal, start-to-finish work environment.
With Mathematica Link for LabVIEW, entirely new, hybrid
workflows become possible, thus enabling users to quickly and
easily find solutions to complex problems--solutions that would
be difficult, if not impossible, to realize using only one of
the component packages.
Mathematica Link for LabVIEW requires Mathematica 4.1 or later
and LabVIEW 6i or later, and is available for Windows and
Macintosh platforms. For more information about Mathematica Link
for LabVIEW, visit:
http://www.wolfram.com/products/applications/labview

Socalledvita-
What functionality are you looking from the Amplitude and Level Measurement Express VI? There is not one-one replacement you can use. However, there are definitely ways of calculating the DC and RMS values of a signal as well as finding the max and min points, etc. Please be more specific in what you are trying to accomplish.

Update Model from database does not update Nullable Property -- Possible bug?

Hi,
I don't know if this is the correct forum.
When updating Model from database seems does not update the entity nullable property.
and it will not update the Default Value from the Backend (MSSQL) also.
I am using VS2008 SP1 3.5EF, XP64Bit Machine.
Thanks
vb.net GUI

maybe related..
today.. i changed the PK size.. from char(10) to char(36)
got many problems.. easy to fix...
but some query stop working:
Table1Record.Table2Reference.Load(); //i'm trying to load table2 from table1..
throw this error: A relationship multiplicity constraint violation occurred: An EntityReference expected at least one related object, but the query returned no related objects from the data store.
i get this error only when PK is greater than char(10)...
with SQL profiler.. i saw that PK was truncated to char(10) :
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT [... some fields...]
FROM [dbo].[Table1] AS [Extent1]
INNER JOIN [dbo].[Table2] AS [Extent2] ON [Extent1].[NoTable2] = [Extent2].[NoTable2]
WHERE [Extent1].[NoTable1] = @EntityKeyValue1',N'@EntityKeyValue1 char(10)',@EntityKeyValue1='a2164b14-e'
(NoTable1 is the PK changed from char(10) to char(36))
i'm working with VS.NET 2008
so, i looked at Model1.Edmx... in notepad
CSDL was not changed when i did the "Update Model from Database" !!!
here is SSDL part:
        <EntityType Name="Table1">
          <Key>
            <PropertyRef Name="NoTable1" />
          </Key>
          <Property Name="NoTable1" Type="char" Nullable="false" MaxLength="36" />
here is CSDL part:
        <EntityType Name="Table1">
          <Key>
            <PropertyRef Name="NoTable1" />
          </Key>
          <Property Name="NoTable1" Type="String" Nullable="false" MaxLength="10" Unicode="false" FixedLength="true" />
Cool.. i found the prob.... but why ? and how to correct this ? manually change Model1.Edmx in notepad ??
why the maxlength property is readonly in Model Browser pane ??
what about VS.NET 2010 ?! same prob ??
is it a bug or by design ?
I hope this can help someone.. I spent a few hours on this prob

I have a Visual composer models designed and saved in MyModels folder of my userid. It was by mistake. But now i want to open them using the other userid, it says Server Error: Failed to open my model. How can i move models from MyModel folder to Public, so that it can be accessable from any userid.
Appreciate if you can provide inputs ASAP.
Regards,
Lakshmi.

Hi
Follow the process Below -
1. login with your user ID
2. Go to 'Model (Left Upper Corner) ->Export model & then save to desktop.
3. Create New Model in 'Public Folder'.
4. Again go to 'Model' -> 'Import' Model.
