From Designer 6.0 to 6i

There is a repository from Designer 6.0, DB-Version: Oracle 8i
Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.5.0.
I have to migrate this repository for Designer 6i, DB-Version:
Oracle 8i Release 8.1.7.0.0.
Chapter "Migrating data from an existing pre-6i repository to a
new one":
To use a repository from a release of Oracle Designer earlier
than 6i, you must migrate the data in it from a live release
2.1.2 or release 6.0 repository (this is the "source
repository") into a release 6i repository that you have already
created (this is the "target repository").
But I haven't button "Migrate" in Designer 6.0.
What can I do?

The migrate button is available from the Target Repository
Administration Utility.

  • Is it possible to print from design view in CS3

    I've got a summary print out / display page for a CF application that I'd like to be able to print out in Design view.
    DW CS3 only seems to print the code page and I don't want to print from a browser as that will only show the options currently selected - I'm after having all options displayed.
    Is it possible? Any suggestions other than printScreen?

    No, you can't print from Design view. It seems as though screen capture is your best option,

  • Import from Designer crashes with IMAGE data type

    Hello,
    I'd like to report an issue with Data Modeler while importing from Oracle Designer. If you consider this a bug, please let me know if I need to do anything else to request a fix for it.
    I've used the import > Oracle Designer Model tool to import an application model. The import runs fine for a while, then crashes with a message "There are errors in import - check log file".
    The application to be imported has 509 domains, 963 entities to import.
    The summary info displayed after the import (when I close the error message pop up) is:
    All statements: 1472
    Imported statements: 538
    Failed statements: 0
    Not recognized statements: 934
    The log file has the lines below:

    I see the issue with the IMAGE data type in the log. The model to be imported does have domains and entities using this data type. The domain actually did get imported, but it shows as "Unknown" logical type, even though there is an Image type available in the Data Modeler type list. None of the entities using IMAGE got imported.
    Please let me know if you can provide a fix or workaround for this (other than changing the format in Designer).
    Thank you,
    Beatriz.

    Hello Beatriz,
    definitely this is a bug. The problem with entities is not IMAGE data type it's supported there (it's overlooked for domains). The problem is volume information - Initial, Maximum, Average, Growth rate. No workaround for that.
    Domain can be changed manually if it's just one affected.

  • Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

    Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
    My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
    I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
    I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

    Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

    HI,
    How to change the status of test cases in Test Plan from Design to Ready using Excel VBA

    Thanks Florin,
    Your piece of code has worked alot, and it was very helpful in changing the Status of the Workitem to "READY" for all the Users fo the workitem.
    Points have been rewarded for your help.
    Process: We have acheived this using the "Work Item Exits", Usng "AFTER_EXECUTION" Method.
    Note: The Exit will be executed if "exit_cancelled"  statement is present/used in the work item method. if not it is not taking to the exit code. I'm unable to find the reason for it. Florin can u please explain this point.
    Please check the link for adding the code in Work Item Exits.

    Please find the Code:
    method IF_SWF_IFS_WORKITEM_EXIT~EVENT_RAISED.

  • Import repository from Designer concerning non-versioned applications (EA2)

    Hello
    I've downloaded last version of Data Modeler -> v3.0 EA2 because correcting bug about import from designer for non-versioned applications.
    I tried to import from my Designer connection but I can see only versionned applications ! I would like to see all the applications (like in Data Modeler v2). Version 3 EA2 is supposed to correct the problem ?!
    The exact version is V3.0.0.653 ! Is that right ????
    Thanks to all!

    Hello,
    On our designer we have ; one workarea and 22 Applications system and several sub-application system. Only a couple on these applications systems are versionned.
    I would like to import the 20 applications and sub-applications in Data Modeler but even if I have the Data modeler EA2 I cannot see them ! I was talking about the Data modeler version lattest version (EA2). Is it the V3.0.0.653 ?
    thanks regards,

  • Export from Designer to Erwin. Is it possible?

    Hi all,
    I need to create a Data Model and send to my customer in a Erwin format (ER1), but I don't have a Erwin licence.
    Can I create this data model in a Oracle Designer, and export to a Erwin format?
    Tx,
    Everson

    Hi Emerson,
    I understand - I think it comes down what the requirement is and how much you're willing to spend!
    Is the model you're creating a Logical or Physical Data Model (or both)?
    If it's Logical, and you want to be able to view it in Erwin, you'll need to use a third-party product to convert it from Designer to Erwin (hence link to http://www.metaintegration.net/). I don't think this will be cheap :-(
    If it's a just Physical Data Model, i.e. tables, FKs, etc, you can generate the DDL from Designer and this can be reverse-engineered into Erwin. I assume it will look the same as it did in Designer on the basis the tables will not have changed. If your Logical and Physical Model in Designer are very similar, i.e. entities map directly to tables 1:1, you could argue that what you reverse-engineer into Erwin closely resembles a Designer Logical Model.
    Hope that helps.

  • Migration from Designer: wrong alias for used table/view in views

    Hello,
    I am using SQL DM version 3.3.0.744.
    when importing a view from Designer, a query is build with aliases for the used tables/views which are the same as the table/view name. When using a where clause in Designer, you refer to the alias of the table/view, like t1.col1= t2.cola. Here t1 and t2 are the aliases of the underlying tables.
    In Designer the following DDL is generated:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW VIEW5
    (COL2
    ,COL1)
    AS SELECT T2.COLA COL2
    ,T1.COL1 COL1
    FROM TAB2 T2
    ,TAB1 T1
    WHERE t1.col1= t2.cola
    After importing the view in Data Modeler, the following DDL is generated:
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW VIEW5 ( COL2,
    COL1 )
    AS SELECT
    TAB2.COLA COL2,
    TAB1.COL1 COL1
    FROM
    TAB2 TAB2,
    TAB1 TAB1
    WHERE
    t1.col1= t2.cola ;
    So by using the wrong alias, the where clause is invalid and the query builder doesn't show the joins.
    The solution for this is to use the alias of the used table/view instead of the table/view name. Can you raise a bug for this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joop

    Thanks for your time. I did all possible way, but still the same problem. I mean
    EXP 8... IMP 8
    EXP 8... IMP 9
    EXP 9... IMP 9
    Today I found that, NLS_LANG of two databases are different. Oracle 8i is : WE8ISO8859P1
    AND Oracle9i is : WE8MSWIN1252
    So I created a new database from scratch with Oracle 8i character set :WE8ISO8859P1 and then use imp9i to import the file. Still the same problem.

  • Passing parameters from Design Studio to Explorer

    Is it possible to pass parameters (filter selections) from Design Studio to BO Explorer?
    Thanks,
    Anders

    Hi Andres,
    I could figure out the solution for all these options.
    I used if-esle statement to handle the blank parameter values
    To pass multiple values for the parameter, I converted the "; " separator to _]_ so as to convert the list in the format recognized by Explorer. Note that there is a space after ;
    To pass multiple parameters, I used the syntax "_;_" to include the second parameter in the url (refer to the last else statement in the below mentioned code)
    Hope this helps in case you haven't found any solution yet.
    //specify global variables for each filter and capture the filter selections in them
    var1=DS_1.getFilterText("Dim1");
    var2=DS_1.getFilterText("Dim2");
    //Use below mentioned code for the On Click event of the button
    if (var1.length <= 0 && var2.length <= 0)
        APPLICATION.openNewWindow("http://xxxx:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Aecg_Tff_55Oon3UKgf2BZ0");

    I try to generate BC4J components from Designer definitions from SCM.
    In Designer:
    I make workarea (WA27) as rep_owner
    and child application (AP27) below WA.
    I create one table (TABLE1) and one (Java) module to that simple table (TABLE1).
    I check in and out application table and module.
    In JDeveloper:
    I make connection to SCM Database as user rep_owner
    Test succeed and I see below “Connection1”Functions tables , procedures .. of the repository.
    I do not see among tables just created table (TABLE1).
    I make workarea an project below that WA.
    Then I right-click on new project and choose Business Tier/Designer Generation +
    Designer BC4J and click OK
    Designer BC4J Generator Wizard starts
    Wiard continues and I choose to workarea: WA27 and next
    In next phase wizard shows only workarea WA27 not application below that.
    I designer too old or do I need changes to definitions of the repository.

    Language of the module have to be Oracle Forms (not JAVA).
    After change wizard will find that container (= application) AP27 and modude(s) below that. OK!!!!

    Thanks for the response, Suresh,
    I believe this is an installation/configuration issue.

I am able to start Form Builder from DOS command (ifbld90.exe). I am also able to start Report Builder (rwbuilder.exe) and Designer (des2k61.exe) from DOS. I am able to Run Oracle Report Builder from Designer, but just not Form Builder. I also checked the Windows registry settings and they seem alright to me.
