Migration Jdev 11.1.1.1 to Jdev 1.1.2, IDE visual problems with ADF design

Migration Jdev 11.1.1.1 to Jdev 1.1.2, IDE visual problems with ADF design
CONTEXT
I’ve been working my project with Jdev11.1.1.1, when I migrate to JDev 11.1.1.2. I realized that my project didn’t compile successfully as before besides I couldn’t see the design view in a WYSIWYG mode on my JSF pages.
I had installed (initially) in C:\oracle\Middleware Jdev 11.1.1.1 with WLS 10.3 (default in Installer)
A couple days ago I realized about the new Jdev release JDev 11.1.1.2 and I decided to migrate because of the IDE improvements such as Bugs Solutions, Maven support, code templates, etc).
The new version seemed to be non-compatible with WLS 10.3 because I couldn’t mount it in the same middleware so I installed the new one in C:\oracle\Middleware11g2, JDev 11.1.1.2 with WLS 10.3.1 (default in Installer).
EXAMPLE
I have created a new sample Project named JDev112App, it only has 1 java class, 1 ADF template and 1 JSPx to show the errors and differences between releases of the IDE… However, I also have added the screenshots of the Project in each IDE, also I have included a screenshot of my real project (Business App).
NOTE. Business APP project is under subversion SVN and the migration was done successfully when JDEv 11.1.1.2 opened it (it migrated automatically).
What should I do?? .. thanks

I think that the problem could be preferences/settings migration from Jdev 11.1.1.1.0 to JDev 11.1.1.2.0, because I migrated not only the application but also the JDev preferences ( "Documents&Settings...Jdeveloper..." ).
I have installed in a new machine without previous version of Jdev the new release JDev 11.1.1.2.0 and when I deploy my test application with errors ( showed in this post ), it works fine and also the design view is correct.
I am not SURE but I think the bug or problem could be also the preference/settings migration between JdeveloperS.
Can anybody tell me the real reason?? How can I fix it ... I don’t want to import each of my settings manually in JDev 11.1.1.2.0 ( I mean templates, javadocs settings, connections, repositories, etc).
Thanks in advance for your help,

    Hi,
    I guess maybe some kind of missconfiguration with OC4J 11.
    My solution by the moment was to install TRINIDAD 1.0.6 in JDEV 10.3 and use the migrated application. After some corrections on the code the application is working =).
    Next I'll try to use JDEV 11T3 with 1.2.6 Trinidad components.
    My best regards

  • 2 problems with jDev 11.1.1.4.0

    Hi,
    I'm using JDev 11.1.1.4.0 and I'm developing a portal that consumes some portlets.
    I have 2 problems:
    1) The first one is shown when JDev starts:
    AM oracle.webcenter.portal.dt.config.PortalConfigUtil getPageTemplateFromConfig
    SEVERE:
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    +     at oracle.webcenter.portal.dt.config.PortalConfigUtil.getPageTemplateFromConfig(PortalConfigUtil.java:69)+
    +     at oracle.webcenter.portal.dt.config.PortalConfigUtil.getDefaultPageTemplate(PortalConfigUtil.java:55)+
    +     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)+
    +     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)+
    2) The second one is about the automatic code that JDev generates when the portal calls the portlet. He generates some HTML (or ADF) code that alterates the HTML page tamplate that I have. It creates a class for the body tag and, doing this, my page can't show the background image.
    It puts the portlet code into a html talble's row, and above that row it creates a row with a border (1px). In this situation I have a blue line shown that I don't want and I don't need.
    Somebody could help me to fix these problems?
    Thanks in advance

    You can't, just open a new thread on the other forum.
    The problem might be a jdev problem, the reason I would post it on the other forum is that the portal version does things not well known here...

    Check whether all the relevant services are up. If the problem still persist then there might be some issue with your JDeveloper.

  • How to integrate EBS with ADF Jdev

    Hi all i have no idea of integrating EBs with JDEV . so can any one please tell me how can i integrate EBS with JDev using Oracle Applications Adapter ?

    There are no guidelines and standards available at present for the custom ADF development with respect to EBS. So if you really want to do it, there will be lot of custom coding required just for the integration purpose like managing sessions, apps specific data etc.

  • Problem with app migration from JDeveloper 11.1.1.0 to JDeveloper 11.1.1.2

    Hi Fusion developers,
    I'm migrating an application to JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 from JDeveloper 11.1.1.0 environment.
    I've installed the JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 Studio package on a new laptop with Windows XP Pro service pack 3
    and copied the application from a JDeveloper 11.1.1.0 environment. I opened the application with JDev 11.1.1.2
    and JDev converted the application.
    When I run the application, I received a ClassCastException from MyFaces Trinidad. I've pasted the stacktrace
    below.
    I checked the 11.1.1.2 release notes and didn't find any Trinidad issues. Does 11.1.1.2 use a different Trinidad
    release? If so, are there Trinidad config settings that I should modify?
    Thanks,
    Bob

  • Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

    I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
    1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
    Fatal error - missing component
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
    2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
    I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
    So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Apple's migration tool?  It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
    You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

  • After Migrating from 10g to 11g Geeting problems with Guided navigations.

    After Migrating from 10g to 11g Geeting problems with Guided navigations and section navigations not working.
    And we are getting the following error <<odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW)>> where we have used navigations.
    In 10G we have Guided navigation Reports to display the Reports links and intermediate reports for conditionally displaying the Dashboard section(Reports) but after migrating to 11g Guided navigation reports and conditional reports are not working..
    We know that in 11g section navigation replaced with conditions and Guided navigation replaced with action link.. but
    do we need to recreate those reports in actions and condition or is there any work around avoid reworking.

    Hi Both,
    Thanks for the reply ...
    For Guided navigation we are getting like below error:
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

  • Problem with JMS migration when using Ctrl+C to stop the managed server in cluster

              Hi,
              I am having a clustered weblogic application running on Weblogic 7.0 SP5. My application
              uses JMS as a asynchrous communication. We have MDB which listens to these JMS
              messages.
              If something is being processed on Managed Server 1 and while the request is in
              process, i am stopping the the MAnaged SErver 1 using Ctrl+C.
              After this, i go to admin console and migrate teh JTA and JMS. After this, i am
              expecting other running Managed Server should restart the incomplete transaction.
              But this is not happening. The Managed Serve2 doesn't process the requst.
              But when i restart teh MAnaged SErver 1 again, it takes up the same request and
              processes it.
              Is this a known problem with Weblogic that it doesn't support Ctlr+C case?
              Please note that the same thing is working fine when i stop the server using Admin
              console(Normal shutdown OR forced shutdown).
              Any comments in this regards are apprecciated.

  • Problems with migration on a new install

    I turned on my new 27" iMac, and when it asked if I wanted to import info, I was not ready because I did not have the right cable to connect my Time Machine External B/U, so I passed, and created a Bootcamp partition.
    I installed Windows XP just fine, and then installed Parallels on the main admin account, and made sure it worked. then tried to import my prior user account by connecting both computers with an ethernet cable, and turned on file sharing. I had problems with lots of spinning beach ball of death on the old mac, so I figured moving to the new machine would get rid of it.
    So I used Migration assistant to import from my current computer connected with Cat 5 cable, and it got 99% of the way through, then hung, like it could not gather the final info from the old computer to finish the migration, so I forced quit Migration on both computers, since there is no other way to exit w/o a successful install.
    The account was there, though when I log in as that user, I see lots of folders I don't have permission to access like my documents and downloads.
    So I go back to the old computer, and do an updated time machine back-up, then connect that external HD to the new iMac and do a 2nd import to a fresh user. All goes well, and I am able to log in, however, my new install of Parallels does not show up on the desktop, rather my old Parallels shows up with its different name. And I am getting spinning beach balls for 10-20 seconds in Safari, which I don't like, as something from the old computer must be corrupt to be doing this like a preference file or ?.
    I have had a Mac since the early 1990's, and always only had one account that I used to run the computer, never creating a "User" account to run day to day, and I am not fully understanding the relationships between admin & user.
    So my questions are;
    1. what is the best way to take my documents, movies, photos, music and such from the 2nd migration, and transfer to a freshly created user account that would have no corrupted preferences causing the spinning problems. Do I put them in the shared folder, then access them from the new account, and transfer them that way, or does the admin do it?
    2. What do I do about the applications that were imported, can the main admin move them and possibly the above documents to the main applications folder?
    3. What about fonts and such, should they be put in the main library, or a user library?
    4. Where can I find info on the allowable actions & limits of admin and users? what they can & can't do.
    5. On my admin desktop, I can see my HD, Bootcamp partition, and Parallels shortcut. It is not visible on my test account, or another user account I created for #1 above. How can I give that user access?
    6. How can I access the new Parallels install that shows up on the admin hd, instead of the old imported one in my user account?
    7. How can I access the 2 external HD's that show up in admin and not users?
    8. Can I safely delete the user that was created from my first unsuccessful migration that I had to force quit and has permission issues?
    Thanks for your help, really appreciate getting up to speed on users...

    No offense, though none of your replies are of any help. I am not migrating from a PPC to Intel, I don't need to reinstall, I am not a new user migrating for the first time, and I am not having any font problems.
    Let me try again.
    If I have a problem with an imported user account like it hangs doing certain things, how do I move all the data to a new user on the same PC, just drag all the documents, library, and similar folders to the shared folder, or the user folder?
    Users/Shared
    Users/User

    I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install, just installed and it greyed out.

    Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
    Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
    Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
    Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
    P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

  • Problems with time characteristics after migration to BI 7.0

    Hi,
    Our company migrated from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0 Netweaver 2004s recently.
    After the migration we have problems with various time characteristics like 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER, etc. in the Query Designer.
    In the old BW3.1 Query Designer version we could choose at the properties of an time characteristic to display Key, Key and Text, Text and so on. After the migration to BI 7.0 we now can only choose Key.
    The InfoObject definion of the time Characteristics in RSD1 is the same in the old version and in the new version.
    I am very  grateful vor every hint how i can show again the other display options in the properties, so that our powerusers can build their queries in the way they are use too.
    Thanks
    Ralph Nist

    Hi Pom,
    thanks for your answer, but we are on FEP 10 already.
    So must be something else.
    Cheers
    Ralph

  • Problems with migrating 4.6 packages to 5.0

    I have lot of 4.6 (SP3) packages which needs to be migrated to 5.0 SP2 platform(SCCM). I tried convert and install 4 different generic packages:
    Paint.net - OK, runs fine
    Chrome OLD - fail (depency to Java)
    Chrome NEW - fail (depency to Java)
    Java - OK, runs fine
    Reader OLD - fail (not compliant to existing OS, probably packaged on XP)
    Problem with Chromes are that shortcuts do not appear anywhere, but the package is installed via SCCM. Reader is failed already during convertion to 5.0 SP2, because Sequencer machine is W7. I converted all packages with Powershell, seems to be the only
    way.
    Main problem is, that after convertion to 5.0, I tried to open Chrome with Sequencer to delete depency to Java, and sequencer fails to open the converted package. So I´m thinking, should I continue to evaluate packages one By one, and are these problems
    because of depencies or something else?
    Error while opening converted package with Sequecer: ID 5010, "An Attempt to prepare the package for editing failed, class not registered. HRESULT 0x80040154.

    I have not heard of issues opening the packages but either way, I'm not sure deleting the Java files from the package would be the best path forward.
    I believe the conversion tool has been a complaint by many. The consensus seemed to be re-sequencing applications was the most reliable method to use.
    Personally, I'd try converting, test. If it doesn't work I open up my recipe and re-sequence.
    Re: Java, if I was you I'd read this series of posts from Dan: http://packageology.com/2014/02/sequencing-java-the-definitive-guide-part-1/
    My personal preference is to keep the latest version of Java on my build as a local app and sequence an older version only when a specific application requires it. I'd imagine Chrome really doesn't need a virtual Java and could use one that's part of the
    build
