Modifications with visual database tools

Hello,
Visual Studio .net IDE is giving error while working with Oracle 9.0.2
(the IDE .net Visual studio Is a realese version - 7.0.9466 .net frameWork version 1.0.3705):
"this backend version is not supported to design database diagrams or tables"
Many Thanks in Advace for any help.

You can get both products to run on the same machine. To do this MSDAORA needs to be led to an 8.1.7 path and ODP.NET needs to be let to a 9.2 path. With the Oracle Home Selector, which should be installed as part of your 9.2 installation and accessible from the Start Menu -> Programs -> Oracle -> Oracle Installation Products, you can switch between the two Oracle Homes, depending on which application you are going to be using.

Unspecified error (MS Visual Database Tools) in SSMSEE

Hi all,
I got some issue.
Last few days ago, I downloaded Visual Studio 2010 Express Beta2 from Microsoft site and install it and tested the software. After that I found that my SQL Server Express 2005 is not working correctly. So, I remove/uninstall the VS 2010 and I need to install VS2005 SP1. You can read my previous error at here http://tinyurl.com/yzr3jhu (Sorry I made it tinyurl!)
After that solved, now I got another issue. Here is the steps:
1. I open SSMSEE (For SQL Server 2005 Express)
2. I right click on one of my Database's Table and select "Design"
3. The error prompt. > Unspecified error (MS Visual Database Tools)
Because its in Urgent, I uninstall my SQL Server 2005 Express + Management studio and restart and install this "SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE" file. its SQL Server 2005 Express Advance.
After installation, I restart my laptop and do the above step again, the same error occurs.
So, have no way. And I search on Net and this SQL Server forum. I found that they're talking about Server 2005 to 2008 for the above error message!!
I then go check my current SQL Server Express Version from Management Studio by using
Select @@Version. So surprising I got the below error!!

It said SQL Server 2008!!!!
How comes???

Hi,
As we know that Visual Studio 2010 ships with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition which will be install if you select it when installing Visual Studio 2010. But in fact, uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 will not uninstall SQL Server 2008 Express. I think that’s why it displays as the version of SQL Server 2008 SP1.
So in this scenario, you have 2 instances of SQL Server Express (2005 and 2008) and SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) 2005. But if you use SSMSE 2005 to connect and instance of SQL Server 2008, you may get the above error when using Table Design functionality or others.
To solve this problem, please use SSMSE 2005 to connect to your SQL Server 2005 Express instance or you can download SSMSE 2008 if you want to use SQL Server 2008 Express. To ensure you connect to the correct instance, you can find the instance name in the properties of SQL Server using SQL Server Configuration Manager.
If you have more questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
Chunsong

How do we use Script (batch file with msbuild/msbuild project) to build Cordova Project created with Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova?

I use Visual Studio to create Cordova projects. I need to build Cordova projects using msbuild and buildbot via script for my project but I can find only information about how VS combine with Cordova CLI to build multi device hybrid application.

Hi Samseth,
Yes, correct, the only thing we can find on the MSDN is:
Deploy and Run Your App
And that's the reason why Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova existing.
I think you may get more detail compile information from here:

Libgit2 Error - Trying to checkout/clone a git repository with Visual Studio Tools for Git

I'm trying to clone a branch from our git repository using Visual Studio Tools for Git. I'm doing the following:
1. We have a local server that stores all our repositories and they are tracked using GIT+Stash
2. I create a subbranch B1 from master in repository X using stash
3. Stash will give me a URL in the form http://user@stash:7990/src/x/repository.git
4. I go to Visual Studio (where I already installed Visual Studio Tools for Git) and follow the instructions to clone this branch to my local machine using the procedure as described in: Open and Clone a Git team project http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850445.aspx#remote_3rd_party_connect_clone
5. Visual studio shows the following error: An error occurred. Detailed message: An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Zlib (Error).
Failed to inflate packfile
What is libgit2? Is there anything I should change in my settings or paths? The only workaround I have found for this issue is to clone my branch through Source Tree (third party tool) and then open visual studio, then any other functionality will be fine
(e.g. commits, push, sync, pull etc, all this I can do directly from Visual Studio)... but why can't I clone from Visual Studio?
Notes:
- We're not using TFS (i.e. we only use Git and I'm effectively trying to do the step found in this URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850445.aspx#remote_3rd_party_connect_clone)
- We use Atlassian Stash (installed in our servers) to create the repositories and branches
- I'm using Visual Studio 2012
David

Hi David,
I am sorry that I can't reproduce your issue on my machine. I can't set the shared folder path (\\DEVELOPMENT) as local path, but I can set D:\folder which maps to the
\\DEVELOPMENT path as the local path.
Maybe you can submit one feedback on the Microsoft Connect site here above your issue:

Homgeneous System Copy with Java and DB2 with database tools.

Hello,
we have an single java stack (netweaver 2004s) and tried a system copy with database tools.
Source System: DP2, dp2adm, db2dp2, sapdp2db
Target System: SP2, sp2adm, db2sp2, ???
We followed the documentation "System copy for SAP systems based on sap netweaver 2004s SR1 JAVA. We exported the SDM on the source system made a redirected restore with db tools and tried to install a new target system.
During the import in the target system using sapinst we get in the

What I didn't understand is, that in the documenation it is mentioned, that you have to use the same java database connect user. But during the installation of the target system (SP2) I cannot change the java database connect user to sapdp2db. I'm only allow to enter sapsp2db. That might then cause the connection problem.

Visual admin tool&configer tool

whta is main difference of visual admin tool&configer tool

Hi Raghava,
This is a post by some gentleman, I tried figuring out the thread but could not succeed.
VISUAL ADMINISTRATOR
The J2EE Engine Visual Administrator is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables administration of the whole cluster, all cluster elements, and all modules running on them. It provides remote monitoring and management of managers, services, libraries, and interfaces working on each element in a single GUI
Visual Administrator includes functions for:
a) Obtaining general information about a service, manager, interface, or library (for example, its name, group, and so on).
b) Logging on to the J2EE Engine via the Visual Administrator tool
c) Administrating and changing the properties either specific or common for each service or manager
d) Configuring the global properties
e) Runtime administration and control.
Read out more about its features on VISUAL ADMINISTRATOR.

CONFIG TOOL :-
The Config Tool enables offline configuration of the J2EE Engine cluster elements. It is XML-based and allows exporting the system configuration for later use.
When you run the J2EE Engine Config Tool via a GUI or text-only interface, it connects to the database and scans the server configuration. The information provided is passed to the corresponding interface that is used for configuration.
Each change you can perform corresponds to a particular task in the Batch Config tool.
All modifications made using the J2EE Engine Config Tool can be exported to an XML file for later use.
two types:-
a) GUI Config tool :- The J2EE Engine GUI Config Tool enables offline configuration of J2EE Engine cluster elements concerning serviceu2019s and manageru2019s properties, adding new server processes, changing Java parameters, exporting the system configuration to an XML file, and so on.
After installing the SAP Web AS Java, a configtool directory is created, containing a configtool script file. Double clicking on this file starts the Config Tool.
b) Text Only Config tool:- The text-only Config Tool enables you configuration of J2EE Engine cluster elements using a text-only based interface. It enables you to change the cluster element properties, JVM settings, add new elements, export the system configuration to an XML file, and so on.
After installing SAP Web AS Java, a configtool directory is created under <SAP_install_dir>/<system_name>/<instance_name>/j2ee, containing a consoleconfig script file. Double clicking on this file starts the text-only Config Tool.

JSF/ADF Application Visual Drawing Tool Integration

Can any one recommend a visual drawing tool that can be integrated into a JSF/ADF application that is data aware (something like Visio)? I need to generate an UI with printed outputs that is very graphically rich and is based on underlying data. I believe I could use Viso's SDK but, would like to use a more Java friendly tool.
Thanks.

Hi,
These concepts are quite long to ellaborate (a few chapters long on the Developer Guide :) ). Here are my thoughts about your questions, i'll try my best:
1) All queries to the database like this one you have to do through a View Object. In your project, you can select new -> view Object, and type in your SQL in the text area. In this particular case, you can do something like "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = :uName". Then in the next screen you define a Bind Variable with the same name, in this case "uName". Then you have to create an Application Module in the same way (new -> Application Module), binding your new View Object to it. As soon as you do it, you will see that your Data Control Palette on the right side of JDev has a new entry. From there it's a matter of dragging and dropping the methods on the UI.
2) In a similar way, all updates to the DB go through View Objects. As you used the wizard, you will notice that there are some Entity Objects in your project, one for each table in the DB. You can create a View Object based on one or more Entity Objects to allow updates. Whenever you change any attribute on the VO that maps to an attribute in an EO this change is posted to the DB. This said, you can simply drag and drop the View Object from the Data Control Palette to your page and it will retrieve and update data.
There are tons of concepts behind all i said, this is only a glimpse of what ADF BC and Faces do. I recommend reading the Dev Guide that comes with Jdev, you can find it on the menu (help -> table of contents) and also do some tutorials (help -> start page) that are the simplest things you can do with ADF.
Hope it Helps!

After REFRESH the cached object is not consistent with the database table

After REFRESH, the cached object is not consistent with the database table. Why?
I created a JDBC connection with the Oracle database (HR schema) using JDeveloper(10.1.3) and then I created an offline database (HR schema)
in JDeveloper from the existing database tables (HR schema). Then I made some updates to the JOBS database table using SQL*Plus.
Then I returned to the JDeveloper tool and refreshed the HR connection. But I found no any changes made to the offline database table JOBS in
JDeveloper.
How to make the JDeveloper's offline tables to be synchronized with the underling database tables?

qkc,
Once you create an offline table, it's just a copy of a table definition as of the point in time you brought it in from the database. Refreshing the connection, as you describe it, just refreshes the database browser, and not any offline objects. If you want to syncrhnonize the offline table, right-click the offline table and choose "Generate or Reconcile Objects" to reconcile the object to the database. I just tried this in 10.1.3.3 (not the latest 10.1.3, I know), and it works properly.

Using Excel with Visual C++ 6.0 (need a graph control that behaves as much like the one in CVI as possible)

I hate to beat this to death but I was unable to find a
clear answer to this question. Does NI provide Excel control from within
Visual C++ 6.0?
I read that NI supports the ANSI-C library only for Visual C++ 6.0 users:
Thread : "Re: Benifits of using measurment
studio for VC++ 6.0?"
NI REP : drohacek
Quote : "we made the decision to support Visual
C++ 6.0 users only through the ANSI-C interface and not through the Measurement
Studio MFC-based class libraries."
If there is a suggested way of controlling Excel from within Measurement Studio
for Visual C++ 6.0 then I’d love to know it.
If not, can a plain statement be made basically stating that if you want
to control Excel you can’t use a Visual C++ 6.0 environment even with Measurement
Studio support?
With .NET of course you can just decide to have Excel support added during
project creation. CVI can act as an ActiveX server and easily control
Excel just by building off the examples shipped with CVI. I see that
there is support, using the Measurement Studio for Visual C++ 6.0 Project Wizard,
for taking existing CVI projects and converting them to Visual C++ 6.0 projects
or for calling CVI libraries from a .dll from within Visual C++ 6.0. I suppose I could do the work
in CVI and then convert the project but I'm so deeply tied into all my MFC calls that I don't see
how I can cleanly include the CVI libraries into my existing VC++ 6.0 projects.
What I'm really after here is a visual graph control like the one in CVI that I
can use from Visual C++ 6.0. I purchased a 3rd party graph control for use
in VC++ 6.0 that works well but isn't really visual. I mean you can't
enter any values in it until you run the program and fill it out programmatically.
Then you can see which columns are two narrow, quit the program, adjust the
column width of your now empty control, and repeat, until you get the thing
looking the way you want. If I could call into Excel from within Visual
C++ 6.0 the way I do from within .NET
then I could use Excel to hold the table and just read in the values into my table
control at run time. Basically I'd use Excel as a visual development tool
for all my tables.
I do all my coding from within CVI and Measurement Studio for Visual C++
6.0. I'd use CVI for everything if I didn't depend so heavily on certain
outside controlled C++ .dll's. Could you please suggest then what I can
do to get Excel support for Visual C++ 6.0?
Last question :
Is there any plan to ever have a NI table control like the CVI table control for
use in Visual Studio? One that you can
completely set up before you do any compiling?
I imagine that the way Microsoft sets up their environment makes this idea impossible. Otherwise someone would
have come up with a truly “visual” table control before now.
Thanks,

Hello Grant
You can most certainly use Excel with VC++ 6.0. Measurement Studio won't provided you with any classes to talk to Excel in VC++ 6.0. This is because Excel allows control via Automation and you can use its automation API to do anything you need with Excel. This is what CVI uses as well.
You can see this MSDN article on how to set this up. This mentions VC.NET, but it should work the same way.
Here is one that talks about VC 6.0 and Excel.
Here is a code project article about this.
Even with .NET, you have to do thru the Excel Automation support. Excel started shipping with Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) which are .NET wrappers about the Excel Automation object model. C++ Automation is definetely not as nice as .NET, BTW
See this document for more information about the Excel object model.
I would not recommend using the CVI Excel libraries if all you want to use them for is Excel automation. You will end up creating un-necessary dependencies and go through extra layers that way. You can make calls straight to Excel from VC++ without requiring CVI.
One quick observation about your excel approach. If you decide to use Excel as your table, you might be requiring everyone who uses your application to have Excel installed on their machines. Just wanted to make sure this was acceptable to you.
Have you looked at the Datagrid Activex control, which is one of the common controls that ships with Visual Studio? You can add it to Visual Studio by right-clicking and picking it from the list of installed activex control. If you have not already, you should check it out.
Microsoft has made significant improvements in the number of controls they provide with .NET. They have a Datagrid control that seems to be what you need.
Measurement Studio did add some high level classes for Excel and Word Automation that simplify some common tasks, but these exists for VS 2003 C++ and VS 2005 C++, not for VC 6.0. Underneath, we end up using the same Excel automation classes, so you can easily setup something similar for VC 6.0. Plus you can find alot of references online on how to use the Excel Automation object model with C++.
We currently have no plans in Measurement Studio to create a table control unfortunately. I am assuming when you said graph, you actually meant table, since Measurement Studio already provides a ActiveX graph controls for VC++ 6.0 that is very similar to the CVI graph.
On a side note, VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?
To summarize
- Yes, you can use Excel with Vc++ 6.0 without mstudio.
- Try using the Datagrid Activex control if you just need a table.
- Measurement Studio provides high-level excel and word classes for VC++ 6.0
- Measurement Studio provides a graph control for VC++ 6.0 which is very similar to the CVI graph.
- Measuremnt Studio does not have a table control.
- VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?

site is located at the same server, I'm able to access the Central Administration with Visual Studio 2013, but I can't access my development SharePoint Web Application.
I'm sure I do have access to the configuration database, in Visual Studio 2010 I'm able to delete and add SharePoint Connections without any problems. The URL of the development SharePoint connection (like sp1.sharepoint.contoso.com) is not named like
the URL of the Central Administration (like servername:5000). The port of my development SharePoint is 80, but I can't access with servername:80 too. My account is in the group of the local administrators, Visual Studio is started as Administrator
and my account is a SharePoint farm administrator and additionally a site collection administrator of all site collections in my SharePoint web application.
Any idea what's wrong with this SharePoint connections?
Thanks in advance. Georg

Can you try the following workaround and see if it helps? First try adding host entry for your server name and if that works change it to sp1.sharepoint.contoso.com.

2013 Visual Studio Project Error – “Cannot connect to the targeted site”
I understand your situation is different than the one mentioned in the blog but given you seem to have all the permission so may be you try and see if the error is because of above issue. Actually if above does not work (assuming your are on your development
environment), try adding your account to DB Owner on your site collection database as mentioned here.

Crystal Report Dll problem with Visual Studio 2005

I am using Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2005. At one time there were two different version of Crystal Decision Dll in Global Assembly Cache (GAC). So I uninstalled both the versions and then only installed 10.2.3600.
I am facing the following error when building my application in visual studio.
The type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\arms website\301a5b02\e03ad7d9\assembly\dl3\c30f5560\00f92427_3857ca01\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.DLL'
and
'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine\10.2.3600.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll'
I have only installed it in .Net Framework. For some reason it appears in the temp folder. I cannot delete it and when I renamed it after the next compile it came back again.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for the tip.
I installed CR XI R2 with SP2 and 2.1
There are few reports in the system they use to run fine but now when I try to run them I get the following error:
Failed to open the connection. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ] Failed to open the connection. C:\DOCUME1\SSheikh\LOCALS1\Temp\ZGA370 {71BFCD35-F652-48C8-896D-B93229A4D2C2}.rpt Details: [Database Vendor Code: 4060 ]
I understand that these reports run ok independently and on production machine as well; however when I try to run them from my development machine I get the above error.
I would appreciate help to resolve this. The code of the report is with report developer and I need to know what settings do I need to change where to be able to run the reports. Also I use my machine for deployment of application on the production server.
Thanks.
