Enhancement Request in Project Libraries and Classpath dialog

Hello,
in the Libraries and Classpath section of the Project Properties we can move up/down single classpath entries only. Adding some libraries and ordering them is pretty much work.
Please allow moving multiple selected entries (this was possible in 904).
From our point of view libraries should be added at the beginning of the list. Most times we add user defined libraries that we want in the beginning of the classpath.

Hi,
I filed an ER

Libraries and Classpath option panel is empty

Hi All,
Just installed Jdeveloper 11g 11.1.1.1.0 on Vista 64b.
Added my jar file into "Manage Libraries" whent to the project properties, "Libraries and Classpath", but this pannel is empty, blank, does not have any options....
Any ideas what is wrong?
Jar file itself already copied in to the project, so I do not have issue of using it
Thank you.

Hi,
the same environment but when I go to project properties, "Libraries and Classpath" I can see all my project libraries and also Add library... button shows my jar to add to Project

JDeveloper project libraries and Maven dependencies

hi
Using the Apache Trinidad Maven JDev Plugin, I am wondering how JDeveloper project libraries and Maven dependencies are supposed to be related (or "matched", or "kept in sync", or "work together", or ...).
With the Maven settings.xml configured like this ...
<settings>

<localRepository>C:\my-maven-repository</localRepository>

</settings>... I tried this ...
C:\projects>mvn -v
Maven version: 2.0.9
Java version: 1.6.0_05

        </hash>
      </list>
      Notice the path for the JAR file in my specific Maven repository, to be relative to my specific project location.
questions:
(1) This seems to severely limit the options to share such a JDeveloper project file between developers in a team (e.g. using Subversion), because they would need their Maven repository and their JDeveloper project to be in the same (relative) location. Is this intended? Are there any options to work around these limitations?
(2) If a project evolves, and additional libraries need to be configured in a JDeveloper project, what would be the preferred approach to keep these in sync with Maven dependency configurations?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Hi Jan,
Yes, some of the current approach is not ideal.
+"Maven's primary goal is to allow a developer to comprehend the complete state of a development effort in the shortest period of time."+ - By having the pom.xml define for the project, I get the ability to run site goals, junit tests and other maven reports - get a feel for the project state. Even with a very basic pom.xml file containing the groupId, ArtifactId, version, SVN repository definition and the release plugin you gain the ability to use "mvn release:clean release:prepare" to help with tagging the source in SVN. These represent progress as up to this point the team has not had access to this.
+"Making the build process easy".+ - The approach does make the build part easier for JDeveloper 10.1.2. As a maven build, it is now possible to check the project into SVN and have it built by Bamboo, without having to include an installation of JDeveloper 10.1.2 (for library access) on the CI server.
+"If I understand correctly, in your approach, you are trying to keep both pom.xml and JDeveloper project files up-to-date manually?"+ - The only reason for keeping the JPR in sync with the pom.xml file is to allow the developers to still make use of features such as selecting run from the right click menu. At present, I am still slowly getting up to speed on how JDeveloper works and interacts with OC4J. Ultimately, you would want a maven plugin that will deploy the packaged WAR or EAR to the OC4J stand-alone or remote instance. This plugin would probably wrap the commands that the IDE uses, e.g.
If you right click on the deployment profile for a project (JDeveloper 10.1.2) and select the Platform > Standalone OC4J options, you find:
Deploying Ear+
${java} ${jvm.max.heap.size} -jar ${admin.jar}
${oc4j.url} ${username} ${password}
-deploy -file ${ear.file}
-deploymentName ${j2ee.app.name}
Binding Web Apps+
${java} -jar ${admin.jar}
${oc4j.url} ${username} ${password}
-bindWebApp ${j2ee.app.name} ${j2ee.web.app.name}
${oc4j.web.site} ${j2ee.context.root}
And for Platform > OracleAS Remote DCM:
${java} -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=HTTPClient
-jar ${Oc4jDcmClient.jar}
${dcm.servlet.url} ${username} ${password}
redeploy ${remote.oracle.home}
${ear.file} ${j2ee.app.name} ${oc4j.instance.name}
With a maven plugin- wrapping the deployment (possible even to the embedded OC4J) you could then look at get away without maintaining the libraries in the JPR. The JPR the becomes the configuration file for the IDE interaction only without affecting the build. For debugging, you can deploy to a standalone instance and start it using:
java -server -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=4000 -jar oc4j.jar
Then connect to the port specified. The primary project I was working on was developed in Netbeans and deployed to SJSAS. I have since switch this project to working with JDeveloper 11.1.1 as the IDE and doing remote debugging from the IDE connecting to the SJSAS debug port.
Note, that the maven plugin development for the managing of these aspects should be easier with JDeveloper 11.1.1 and the integrated WLS.
Have you used this approach in a project that uses ADF Business Components? - Yes, I have used it on one of the smaller ADF projects that had already been produced by the team. This project has all the maven features and ability to deploy to the remotes AS via ant scripts. The approach worked in both the dev and test environments. However, for final deployment, I still used the deployment profile to be consistent with the rest of the team.
Regards,
Graeme.

GOOD FEATURE ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: Locking Projects

I have an excellent Feature Enhancement request for iLife '08 & wanted to post it somewhere in hopes it gets to the hands of the right people that can make things happen so I'm not wasting 5 minutes posting.
I (like anyone) like saving my iLife Printed Books, Calendars, etc. on my MacBook so I may always order more copies if needed. However, I fear somewhere somehow someone will be playing on my Mac & will accidentally move stuff around or even delete text / words / layouts / effects from an iLife printed project of mine which I ordered & may want to reorder years down the road.
*I'd like an advanced options area with options typically displayed in any kind of publishing software. Options in mind include "Group Objects", Ungroup Objects, Lock, Unlock, etc.*
Does anyone else here agree with me??

To add to Larry's suggestion....passwords and protected accounts are always good:
1. Put your iPhoto Library(ies) on an external drive and eject or disconnect the drive when you are not using the computer. Then, no one else can get into your projects. I have ten iPhoto Libraries on my external drive.
2. Make an iPhoto Library just for your projects and put that one on an external drive. That way, your photos are available to whoever wants to view them, but the projects library can be left alone.
3. Have you considered not letting others access your computer without your permission? If they are not responsible enough, setting up different user accounts would be the way to go. You can limit their access to your files.
If you want to suggest that Apple do something more global, feel free to make your suggestion here, as Larry recommended:

Enhancement Request: Sorting column-names AND Saving Package in clipboard

Hi,
I would like to have the following features:
- Sorting with the column-names (A-Z) would be very nice like I can do in the worksheet or the columns-tab but not in the data-tab
- Saving source code of packages not only to file but to clipboard.
Thanks, Juergen

Hi Juergen,
Sorting with the column-names (A-Z) would be very nice like I can do in the worksheet or the columns-tab but not in the data-tabThat's already requested on the SQL Developer Exchange. Go vote on it there to add more weight.
Saving source code of packages not only to file but to clipboardYou can add that one as a new request, but I'd say chances are small to see this implemented.
What I do is ctrl-a (select all), then ctrl-c (copy to clipboard). If you don't like using the keyboard, you can do it through the Edit menu. Isn't that enough to satisfy everyone's needs?

K.

Projects and Project Libraries

I've been happily using Projects since they were introduced in LabVIEW 8-something.
I've got a Project whose task involves examining directory trees containing other VIs. In some cases, the VIs my code examines have the same name as one of the VIs being used in the code (I'm running in Development Mode, not from an executable). To avoid "name clashes", I did a search on NameSpaces and learned about Project Libraries.
So I've successfully ported all of the files in my Project into a similarly-named Project Library. The code works just fine.
Today, I opened my Project to look at one of my VIs, and to my horror, the Project had none of the files showing. It also didn't show the Project Library (where I "knew" all the files were located). A tad worried, I looked on my disk, and found the Project Library (.lvlib) file -- if I double-click it, there are my files!
What I'm having trouble doing (maybe because it is impossible!) is getting a view "inside" my Project Library from the Project Explorer. Given the close relationship between Projects and Project Libraries (the second is created from the first, for example), I would have expected to see such a link. Does it exist? Or are you expected to open both a Project (which, in my case, has files that are not in the Project Library) and the corresponding Project Library?
Note I did a search through the NI Documentation on Project Libraries, and what I read emphasized the close relationship between a Project and an associated Project Library, including giving them the same (or similar) name and keeping the files in the same folders. [Hmm -- I just realized I did not name my Project and Library identically -- I called the Project "Project XYZ", and the Project Library "Library XYZ" ...].
Experience "from the field" would be most welcome!

Would you mind posting your project so someone could take a look at it?
Dear Handy,
     Humble Pie time (again!). When I saw your request, I said (to myself, silently) "Just how dumb do they think I am?". So this morning, I brought back an earlier pre-Library version of my Project, captures some screen shots of "Before", and started to (re-)create my Library. I couldn't remember exactly how I did it before, so I followed the steps in the LabVIEW 2011 Manual. I did a "New, Library" from My Computer in the Project, and dragged stuff into it. This time, I noticed there was a lot of "saving VIs" that I didn't recall from my earlier (first) Project Library. When I was done, there, in Project, right where I was expecting to see it (but wasn't!) was my Project Library!
     So what did I "do wrong" before that caused the Library to "disappear" from the Project? Who knows, but I clearly did something (mysterious) incorrectly -- I'll try not to do whatever-it-was again!
     Onward and upward (or maybe onward and downward, since Austin, home of NI Week, is south from here ...).

Project libraries, polymorphic VIs, and access scope

I'm trying to be good and arrange all my VIs appropriately in project
libraries*, marking each VI as public or private as I go. But I have
found that, when a polymorphic VI is called from outside a project
library, LabVIEW uses the access scope (public/private) from the
instance VI, not the polymorphic VI. It seems that the scope for the
polymorphic VI is simply ignored; you can even call a private
polymorphic VI, as long as the instance VI is public. I assume this has
something to do with how the actual instances are dropped on the
diagram via the polymorphic VI. Is this the intended behavior? It just
doesn't seem like the way things should be, at least not in my head.
The attached example contains a project library (Case Lib.lvlib) with three VIs:
Poly (private)
Case DBL (public)
Case I32 (private)
There
is also a Use Case DBL VI that calls Case DBL via Poly and a Use Case
I32 VI that calls Case I32 via Poly. Use Case DBL runs fine. Use Case
I32 has a broken arrow.
Originally, I had made a library with a
public polymorphic VI and private instances, because that's what makes
intuitive sense to me. Calling the polymorphic VI from another VI
didn't work because the instances were private.
(Cross-posted from LAVA.)

Good observations, these are all issues we are working on addressing in future versions of LabVIEW. Ultimately the behavior we are going for is having the library scope checking be on the poly VI and not the instances, but I can't say at this point in which version of LabVIEW you would be able to see this changes. Thank you for the feedback.

Deploying libraries and projects...

Hello All
We have problem trying to make a distribution on a compiled library.
The application that we had consist of many projects. We separate the
service objects and the objects in different projects, because we need to
reference a service object from another and develop a three tier application
so we had to divide like this form :
Project Service Object 1
Project Object 1
Project Service Object 2
Project Object2
where Object1 makes a call to Service Object 2.
The problem is that we want to deliver the application and compile the
project that contains objects in order to don´t give the source code, so
someone told us that we have to separate the service objects from objects in
order to compile the projects that contain the objects as libraries and let
the services objects in another projects without compile.
So the previous schema finally seems like this :
Project Service Object 1
Library Object 1
Project Service Object 2
Library Object 2
To compile this, the manual told to compile in order so We start with :
Project Object 2 -> Configure As Library -> check compile -> generate
.lgf -> run fcompile and get .dll. (OK)
Project Object 1 -> Configure As Library -> check compile -> generate
.lgf -> run fcompile (ERROR)
the error
said that there was not .lib.
That was
strange because generating Object2
fcompile
generates .bom, .lib and finally .dll. (??)
Please if someone out there know something please told us....
Probably a library can´t have a supplier project with service object in
it...
Thanks For Help

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the answer. I couldn't follow how the custom Manifest file will help in our case. Could you please provide some more details?
My problem is I don't know in which order I need to compile the projects. I can do this manually but I am looking for a solution that will do this automatically.
As the project grows it will be too hard to decide the order manually.
Thanks

Private inlined VIs and packed project libraries

So, I'm trying to build a packed project library and it has a few *private* VIs that are crying out to be inlined (simple VIs used in a for loop etc). However, this seems to be causing a few issues:
1. When I attempt to build the lvlibp I get an error stating "You cannot include inlined VIs inthis build if you remove the block diagram from the VI or if callers adapt to VIs in the packed library.". Whilst this makes sense to me for public packed library VIs, why does this matter for private ones - surely the VI will already get flattend out into the calling VI during the build process?
2. If I try and set the Source File Settings for the inline VI to not remove the block diagram (as suggested by the error), the error still does not go away (I would really like to keep the ability for callers to adapt to VIs in the packed library).
Here's a stripped out project (with instructions) showing the issue.
It seems like a bug to me, but any ideas?
Thanks,
Shaun

I was just going through the instructions to reproduce the error. Because the error says "You cannot include inlined VIs in this build if you remove the block diagram from the VI OR if callers adapt to VIs in the packed library," it seems like as long as you maintain your settings for the caller to be able to adapt the VI, then I would expect this error to continue to occur.

Feature Request - use native Windows file browsing dialog

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before. I wasn't able to find anything with a search in the forum, so I'll post it here.
An enhancement request for SQL Developer would be to have it use the native file browsing dialogs in Windows. I'm using Windows 7, and it would be nice to have a native Windows dialog pop up when I go to open or save a file, rather than the ugly (I think) default one, which must be a generic Java file browsing construct. The native dialog would allow it to include all the links to Windows 7 libraries, favorites, and other things like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. if those were installed.
I'd be curious to hear what others think about this idea.
Thanks,
Brian

At the risk of starting a Windows/Linux/Mac flame war, or pissing off Java developers, I'm not really into the whole Java write once, run anywhere approach. Particularly when it comes to look and feel. There are merits to cross-platform development when it comes to application functionality, but look and feel is a bit trickier. Windows has specific features that Windows users are used to seeing and using. Mac the same. Linux the same. I think this is especially true when it comes to dealing with the file system. So applications should adjust to the native environment nicely and not introduce elements that don't "fit in". Just MY $0.02. :-)
I'm not a Java developer, but IvanG pointed out that it SHOULD be pretty easy to invoke a native Windows dialog box from Java. That would be my choice.
Thanks!

Enhancement Requests for AWM10g

Hi, before I start in on the enhancement requests I want to say that I am pretty impressed with AWM10g. Definitely a huge step forward in creating AWs. Having said that, I think there are a few enhancements that could be done to the tool to make it even more user friendl.
Note that these are in no particular order, just ones I came up with while using the tool. I'll add any others that I come across.
Please don't take this as nit-picking - just trying to help make it better.
Thanks!
Scott
1. On dimension hierarchy types, instead of "value based" call it a "parent / child based" (thats what everyone knows it as)
2. When creating levels, allow more than one level to be created at a time (currently it closes the dialog after each level is created, forcing you to go back and choose "create levels" over and over again). This may be as simple as having a "Save and create another" button or something.
3. When typing names in the "system name" boxes, it would be nice if we could simply type the descriptions using spaces, and have the system name automatically replace with an underscore. Right now its a bit tedious to remember to type all names using underscores.
4. In "mapping" view, move HELP, APPLY, and REVERT buttons off of bottom status bar and up to the top toolbar. There is lots of unused space at the top, creating a second bar at bottom just eats up screen real estate
5. On "create dimension" dialog, no need for an entirely separate tab for "implmentation details" (that only has two values - generate unique keys or use the existing keys). Put this on the front tab so users don't have to keep selecting over to it (unless of course there are additional values that can show up there?)
6. Mapping dimensions with multiple hierarchy - seems odd that we have to remap shared levels. Is it possible to make this where you would map all the values in the first hierarchy, and then only map the "missing" levels in the second hierarchy? Seems like an opportunity for hosing things up
7. Drag and drop ordering when setting up the dimensions in a cube would be nice. Interface is the same as prior version of AWM (pretty clunky)
8. Bug - when typing in any "name" field, if you highlight the entire field and delete all characters, under the "description" fields only a single character gets deleted.
9. When there are multiple hierarchies for a given dimension, some sort of visual indicator of which one is set as default (without having to drill into details of each one)
10. Its difficult (impossible?) to resize panes (for instance, when doing the mapping). Seems like sometimes I click on something by accident (other than the < and > arrows) that resizes the panes, and then I can't figure out how to get them back (other than exiting and restarting)
11. When writing template out to same name as one that exists, AWM2 is not giving a "do you want to overwrite" prompt
12. Some sort of clear visual indicator or message when a dimension is not completely "mapped". I had a dimension where I mistakenly forgot to map the leaf level dimension member. I didn't find out about it until I ran a load and the load blew up.
13. On the XML logging at the end of a load process, the dialog box isn't big enough to show entire error messages if they occur. Since I haven't found a way to actually write the output to a txt file, this makes it hard to debug what is wrong with a solve.

Anthony - thanks! In the meantime, I've come up with a few more requests / suggestions (and will probably have a few more yet to come...)
Thanks again!
Scott
1) Rather than just showing the "working" bar while a load / solve is going on, would it be possible to replace this with some sort of functionality that queries against the OLAPSYS.xml_load_log table? And perhaps allow the user to click "refresh" or have it auto-refresh at a certain number of minutes so that users can actually see the progress being made?
2) Since CATALOG view is no longer available, remove the options to have AWM write the log files

OWB 10gR2 - some enhancement requests

Hi, I've been working with OWB 10gR2 for approximately a week now, and I've come across a few (minor) bugs, as well as a list of enhancements that I think would make the tool better. I'd like to surface these in this forum so they can be either disagreed with or have workarounds suggested, as well as getting this list in front of Oracle. Also I'm new to the tool, so maybe there are ways to accomplish what I want.
p.s. as a side note - please don't take these as criticisms of the tool. I'm actually very impressed with OWB 10gR2, but just want to surface some ideas that I think would make the tool better.
Thanks,
Scott
---Bugs:
1.     If I enter a quote character in one of the business description fields (i.e. for a cube or dimension), it causes the DDL scripts to blow up. It probably mentions the list of valid characters in the users guide somewhere - but if a character isn't legal, it should be flagged when I try to enter it originally not when deploying
2.     I can enter illegal strings in an expression operator that fail validation there, but the whole map still passes validation. For instance, I put in an expression (for a varchar2 field) using a single quote at the start, but mistakenly with a double quote at the end. I didnt bother to validate this within the expression. The whole map validated fine, but (of course) blew up with the illegal syntax when generating the code.
3.     I get the following error when trying to browse a cube (ROLAP, not MOLAP) through OWB, but I'm able to pull the cube up fine using either the excel add-in or biBeans: CubeDV_OLAPSchemaConnectionException_ENT_06952???
---Enhancement Requests:
1.     Add a deploy button in control center next to the to default actions and reset actions buttons
2.     Allow an option to have dimensions and cube defaults set to either deploy all, deploy data only, deploy catalog only, deploy aggregations (for cubes). Also, why is the default set to deploy data only? Does deploying the CMW2 metadata involve huge performance impacts or something? It seems like the CMW2 is almost free so it should be turned on by default. Its a pain to use the dimension wizard, but then have to go in to each dimension afterwards to set this option.
3.     When using configure on dims and cubes in control center, the first time the configuration properties dialog pops up, everything is fine. However, when you try to configure the 2nd object, the background focus switches from control center back to design center. This makes navigation very slow if you have lots of items to change. I've noticed this behavior in a few other places as well.
4.     Some dialogs do not have maximize buttons (i.e. dimension wizard dialogs), and default to a very small size. It is possible to have size of dialogs dynamically scaled to screen resolutions, and attempt to size columns so they fit properly. Or better yet, have each dialog remember how large it was last time, and automatically open up to that size?
5.     When generating the autobind relational table while creating a dimension, it seems to be randomizing the order of the attributes within a level (although it does sort the top level attributes first, followed by lower level attributes), at least when using the dimension wizard. It would be nice if the attributes in the relational table came out sorted in the same order as they are specified in the attributes tab.
6.     When using a unmapped display set there doesnt seem to be a way to refresh the set (i.e. remove the items that have since been mapped) unless you select all and then unmapped again. Would be nice if you could simply choose unmapped again and have it refresh the object
7.     While doing a mapping, right click on canvas allows option to generate. Would be nice to also add the validate option to this menu
8.     Validating mappings takes a decent amount of time would be nice if a busy icon was displayed to let user know that OWB hasnt locked up.
9.     default size of job details dialog is too small, and even if I maximize I still have to go through and manually adjust the size of each pane. Similar to enhancement #4
10.     Horizontal size of operators in mapping seems to be determined by the length of the operator name, instead of tying directly to the icon. Looks strange. Very minor
11.     When displaying dimension objects in a mapping:
a.     For the surrogate key columns add an icon to indicate this attribute is a surrogate key. Likewise, since its not legal to map anything to this column, remove the little arrow next to it (the one that turns gray when something is mapped to a column), or perhaps don't even show this column at all.
b.     For the business key columns add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key (or make color different, etc.)
12.     Similar to #11, for the cube operator in a mapping:
a.     For the surrogate key columns if they cant be mapped to, then dont show them
b.     For the business key columns add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key
c.     Separate the measure columns from the dimension columns
13.     For the Aggregation operator can you move the <None> default operator to the top of the list. At the bottom, it means you always have to scroll to use the most common operations (which are at the top of the list), i.e. sum and avg, etc.
14.     In the log on prompt, if I choose SQL*Net connection, every time I start it up it defaults to the details being shown (even when I chose no detail last time), with cursor in the host box. I should be able to have the details hidden, and this dialog should ALWAYS default to having the active cursor in the password box on startup
15.     When printing in a mapping, the page setup print dialog is very slow. Also, the print setup dialog shows margins, but you cant adjust them. It would be nice if this could be changed here
16.     Add a print preview icon to all of the toolbars. Printer icon is there, print preview should also be.
17.     In the dimension attributes, we need a way to tag an attribute as being the insert record date or the update record date. The corresponding MERGE SQL should be updated to use these attributes.
18.     It would be nice if the mapping canvas defaulted to an unlimited sizei.e. when I want to add new operators and the screen is already full, I either need to shrink the zoom factor down to the point where I cant read the icons anymore, or I have to pick up the new operator and drag at the bottom / right side until it scrolls enough to drop it where I want. If the canvas had an unlimited size, I could simple use the scroll bars to scroll to where I want.
19.     Scroll wheel functionality to zoom in / out (and have it zoom in around the currently selected object)
20.     Option to have operations automatically resize when longer attribute names are added to them (can workaround by mimimizing and then maximizing, but would be better to have the operators automatically adjust size to fit)
21.     Ability to sort output attributes in an operator (just like table column sort functionality). If I create a new operator, it would be nice to group it with related operators instead of always having it at bottom.
22.     re: column sort functionality drag and drop instead of up/down arrows would be nice
23.     It would be nice if, when adding output attributes to (for example) the expression operator, it would choose the default data type the same way the dimension attribute wizard works (i.e. if it sees ind in name, automatically choose char(1)
24.     Change the zoom in button so that it zooms in on the currently selected operator i.e. if I click on a particular table and then hit the zoom in button, it should keep the table I selected centered
25.     When in a mapping, clicking on a line should highlight the attributes on both the source and target operators (to allow easier visual ID of where data is coming from / going to)
26.     AWM has a feature where table attributes can be sorted so that mappings between them don't have "crossed" lines. Similar functionality in OWB would be very appreciated. It may be harder to automate this, but even manual drag and drop of attributes within an operator would be nice.

if you could copy/paste this whole thing into the submission form (see feedback option under the numbers menu). The more people that request these features, the more likely we are to see them in an update or the next version.
