Object Modeling Tools

I know that there have been many discussions before on this list about
modeling tools, but here goes one more...
We are in the process of evaluating Modeling Tools that work well with
Forte. We would also like to have a tool that integrates with a Data
Modeling tool.
I am looking for comments / experiences with any of the following:
Rational
Select
Platinum
Cayenne
ERwin
PowerDesigner (previously S-Designer)
Specific areas of concern: 1) Stability of product
2) Level of support
3) Ability to keep model and code in synch (do you really use round
tripping? or do you use for initial analysis and design only?)
4) Level of integration between object and data models
All comments are appreciated.
Regards,
Tony

ReportClientDocument object model, simple question

How can I modify report in runtime using RAS SDK (ReportClientDocument obj model)?
I tried several different ways to modify report (change date format of the field, change field width...), and nothing happens.
all properties seems to be changed but, reportdocument object remains unchanged.
here is the code I used:
               object path = (object)@"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\Samples\EN\Reports\cr_ListOfLateFeesToBeExempted.rpt";
               ReportClientDocument crReportDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
               crReportDocument.ReportAppServer = "sizlak";
               crReportDocument.Open(ref path, 0);
               CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo();
               crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "***";

               crConnectionInfo.UserID = "***";

               TableLogOnInfos crTableLogonInfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
               crViewer.LogOnInfo = crTableLogonInfos;
               CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObjects sss = crReportDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects();
               foreach(CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObject ss in sss)
                    Response.Write("<br>" + ss.Kind);
                    if(ss.Kind == CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrReportObjectKindEnum.crReportObjectKindField)

hi, i am using jbuilder 2006 for my j2ee project.
i want to see the object model diagram which shows me
the whole existing project in one place stating how
objects are related. so ---
1. how can i do that in jbuilder?RTFM. If it's supported in the version of JBuilder you use (I think it's only supported in the enterprise edition) it will be mentioned in the manual.
2. are there any other good tools/softwares
available?yes.
3. any pointers for preparing this diagram is
appreciated.

InDesign Object Model Not in OM Viewer

I have the trial of InDesign CS4 installed, along with the scripting componetns and Adobe bridge.
In the ES Toolkit object model viewer I have four options in the dropdown:
Core JavaScript Classes
ScriptUI Classes
Adobe Bridge CS4 Object Model
Adobe InDesign CS4 Object Model
The first three options work fine. The crucial fourth option (the InDesign model) does nothing. I open it and the drop down just closes, then snaps back to whatever the previous selection was.
What is causing this and how do I fix it? Hard to script without the object model reference!
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Try selecting InDesign from the drop down before starting InDesign.
That's the only way I can get it to work on my installation...

Create folder in Document Library using Sharepoint 2010 Client Object Model

I would like to check for the existence of a folder in s Sharepoint 2010 Document Library and if the folder is not found, create it. (I would then subsequently programmatically upload documents to that folder -- which I have figured out). Can someone
please help me figure out how to check for the extistence of and then create a folder using the Sharepoint 2010 Client Object Model?

You can use this:
public static void CreateFolder_ClientOM(string listName, string folderName)
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://basesmc2008");
Web web = clientContext.Web;
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listName);
clientContext.Load(clientContext.Site);
string targetFolderUrl = listName + "/" + folderName;
Folder folder = web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl(targetFolderUrl);
clientContext.Load(folder);
bool exists = false;
try
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
exists = true;
catch (Exception ex)
if (!exists)
ContentTypeCollection listContentTypes = list.ContentTypes;
clientContext.Load(listContentTypes, types => types.Include
(type => type.Id, type => type.Name,
type => type.Parent));
var result = clientContext.LoadQuery(listContentTypes.Where
(c => c.Name == "Folder"));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ContentType folderContentType = result.FirstOrDefault();
ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation();
newItemInfo.UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder;
newItemInfo.LeafName = folderName;
ListItem newListItem = list.AddItem(newItemInfo);
newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = folderContentType.Id.ToString();
newListItem["Title"] = folderName;
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(list);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Business Object Modeler Question

Hi Experts,
I'm new to CE and currently trying to figure out what can I do with it?
Assume that I'm planning to create an application to follow activities that our consultants doing.
For this, we're planning to use Local Portal Database to store datas.
When I checked, "Business Object Modeler" is a tool which helps to create business objects and generates tables behind and access services automatically.
Then generating a Web Service for this BO and then using the WS with VC and WD4J is a great asset for us.
But, my questions?
1. Is this a right approach for such scenario?
2. I've created a sample BO and generated WS and tried to use with VC. Create, Delete, Reand and Update Operations can be made available for WebService, but I'm unable to add FindAll or FindByMultiple Parameter operations to Web Service?
Any idea for Q1 and answer for Q2 will be appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Yes, You have to arite the code.Actually, Application services are the place where you will wrtie your business logic.
In th application service operations you have to call the business object operations.
For architechturel guidelines you can go [through thii doc|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00caf8bd-487a-2a10-36a9-93d840309310].
answer to second question:
You can't change the code in the BO operations. What ever you want, you have to do it in the application servcies only.
Create an application service operation say:
operation(). Create a input/output data structures.
Exapmle: OperationResponce operation(OperationRequest).
Yuor lists add to the OperationRequest datatype. Similarly for OperationResponce also. In this case you don,t have any issues.Actually this is the standered for Web Services.
[This document|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0d97ec6-5de0-2a10-a5b3-b5926075566c], you can use as an example

Why does R/3 have no ABAP UML modelling tools integrated?

I find it strange that SAP tout the benefits of OO programming and ABAP classes, then completely fail to provide a UML round trip modelling tool integrated into the ABAP workbench.
Doesn't this display a lack of foresight on SAPs behalf? I mean, if you are serious about the use of OO software, shouldn't you be serious about providing the framework such as UML modelling tools to facilitate optimal development?
Currently if I design a solution with ABAP objects, I am using Altova UModel to document the solution, but the lack of integration with the ABAP environment means that I am always struggling to keep the code and model in sync.
does anybody have similar views on this? If views are in accordance, couldn't the SDN community try to lobby SAP to provide such a tool?

Hello Anthony
I document my ABAP-OO developments with Altova UModel, too. A colleague recently showed me that the NetWeaver Developer Studio has UML functionality but for Java developments only (where round-trip engineering is already commonplace).
I assume that the problem with ABAP round-trip engineering is the ABAP dictionary. With Java you have the simple data types and the the class hierarchies of Java. In ABAP we also need the dictionary types.
I would appreciate to have such UML tools for ABAP available, yet I do not expect them to become available in the near future.

How to upload a document with values related to document properties in to document set at same time using Javascript object model

Hi,
Problem Description: Need to upload a document with values related to document properties using custom form in to document set using JavaScript Object Model.
Kindly let me know any solutions.
Thanks
Razvi444

The following code shows how to use REST/Ajax to upload a document to a document set.
function uploadToDocumentSet(filename, content) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/add(url='" + filename + "',overwrite=true)?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': content,
processData: false,
timeout:1000000,
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val(),
"content-length": content.byteLength
'success': function (data) {
var d = data;
dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err,textStatus,errorThrown) {
dfd.reject(err);
return dfd;
Then when this code returns you can use the following to update the metadata of the new document.
function updateMetadataNoVersion(fileUrl) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/getbyurl(url='" + fileUrl + "')/listitemallfields/validateupdatelistitem?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': JSON.stringify({
'formValues': [
'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.ListItemFormUpdateValue' },
'FieldName': 'Title',
'FieldValue': 'My Title2'
'bNewDocumentUpdate': true,
'checkInComment': ''
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'content-type': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val()
'success': function (data) {
var d = data;
dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err) {
dfd.reject(err);
return dfd;

Share Invitation via Client Object Model

On SharePoint Online Using the "Share" button in the upper right area of the page one can invite a person to join the site. Then the person will get an email and provided the email address is linked to a Microsoft account that person may
join the site. Here are two questions:
Is there a Client Object Model equivalent to the "Share" form, thus automating the process via an external web service?
What is the expected delay and in fact what is the reason for the delay between when the person gets the email and when they can accept the invitation without receiving an error stating "That didn't work... [email address] can't be found in the [site
url] directory. Please try again later". The user was able to log in after some time.
Thanks

You can use the Sharing.DocumentSharingManager class with the method UpdateDocumentSharingInfo method in CSOM. The delay maybe the fact that when you assign a group to share the document with, then a timer job is queued to generate an email for each user
in the group. These are then queued to send the email out via whatever smtp server you have set up for SharePoint. This can cause some delays.

Unable to compile T1 Architecture and Simulation modelling tool

Hello,
I am trying to compile the T1 Simulation and Architecture modelling tool. The whole package is downloaded from opensparc.net
As a requirement, i am using Solaris 10 on SPARC based machine with Solaris Studio 12.3 as the compiler.
When i am running the "build_sas.sh full" script, it gives me an error:
--- Building n1 in strand ---
/opt/solarisstudio12.3//bin/CC -G -KPIC -fast -xO5 -DNDEBUG -DRS_INLINE=inline -DRS_MPSAS_COMPATIBLE    -xarch=v9a -DHOST64BIT=1    -DN1_BOOTS10 -DMEMORY_SPARSE -I../../include/strand -I../../include/fw -I../../include/mmu -I../../include/asi -I../../include/core -I../../include/cpu -I../../include/system -I../../include/trap -I../../include/register -I/scratch//sam-t1/devtools/64/shade/inc -c -o obj64opt_n1/V9/V9_AsiReg.o V9/V9_AsiReg.cc

Current working directory /scratch/sam-t1/src/riesling-cm/riesling/src/strand
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `strand'
the Callee.h file has the following declaration for line#97:
inline void* operator new( size_t size, CalleeAllocator& a )/*{{{*/
// This new() function is called for code written as
// new(CalleeAllocator::allocator) Callee0<void>(f);
// and allocates size bytes from the CalleeAllocator
return a.alloc(size);
I did some Google search, and found that, "An allocation function shall be a class member function or a global function; a program is ill-formed if an allocation function is declared in a namespace scope other than global scope or declared static in global scope. [..]" (c++ - operator new inside namespace - Stack Overflow).
Would appreciate any help or suggestion.

I tried you last suggestion, by simply moving the "new" function before the namespace, but it gave me the following Error: The prior declaration for operator new(unsigned long) has no exception specification.
So, I naively just defined the new as below, just to see what happens:
41 inline void* operator new( size_t size, CalleeAllocator& a) throw()
    42 {return a.alloc(size);
    43 }
which, after compilation gives the following error:
Error: std::bad_alloc is not in the prior exception specification
The download link to the whole package is here: OpenSPARC T1
At the end of the page, there is the download link to the OpenSPARC T1 Processor for Architecture and Performance Modeling Tools.
below is the original Callee.h file: Line 97 is where the operator new is defined which appears to be outside of namespace Riesling.

Unable to update rating (rating column) on host document using JavaScript Object Model API inside sharepoint hosted apps

Hi Everyone,
We are developing SharePoint hosted apps for Office 365, for that we are going
to implement document rating functionality inside Sharepoint app. The host web contain document library (“Documents”) and from apps we need to rate each document. The rating functionality working fine with CQWP in team site using
JavaScript Object Model API.
But the same code is not working inside apps and giving error:-
If we are using app context than error will be:-
"List does not exist.
The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."
And for Host context than error will be:-
"Unexpected response data from server."
Please help on this
Please see below code..
'use strict';
var web, list, listItems, hostUrl, videoId, output = "";
var videoLibrary = "Documents";
var context, currentContext;
var lists, listID;
var list, parentContext;
var scriptbase;
(function () {
// This code runs when the DOM is ready and creates a context object which is
// needed to use the SharePoint object model
$(document).ready(function () {
hostUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));
context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', sharePointReady);
function sharePointReady() {
scriptbase = hostUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
// Load the js files and continue to the successHandler
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Core.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "reputation.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "sp.requestexecutor.js", execCrossDomainRequest);
//Query list from hostweb
function execCrossDomainRequest() {
//Load the list from hostweb
parentContext = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostUrl);
web = parentContext.get_web();
list = web.get_lists().getByTitle(videoLibrary);
context.load(list, 'Title', 'Id');
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Modified" Ascending="FALSE"/></OrderBy></Query><RowLimit>1</RowLimit></View>');
listItems = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(listItems);
context.executeQueryAsync(onQuerySucceeded, onQueryFailed);
//Process the image library
function onQuerySucceeded() {
var lstID = list.get_id();
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext(hostUrl);
var ratingValue = 4;
EnsureScriptFunc('reputation.js', 'Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation', function() {
Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation.setRating(ctx, lstID, 1, ratingValue);
ctx.executeQueryAsync(RatingSuccess, RatingFailure);
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Failed' + args.get_message());
function failed(sender, args) {
alert("failed because:" + args.get_message());
function RatingSuccess() {
alert('rating set');
//displaystar();
function RatingFailure(sender, args) {
alert('Rating failed : : ' + args.get_message());
//Gets the query string paramter
function getQueryStringParameter(paramToRetrieve) {
var params;
params = document.URL.split("?")[1].split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1) {
var singleParam = params[i].split("=");
if (singleParam[0] == paramToRetrieve) return singleParam[1];
Thanks & Regards
Sanjay
Thank you in advance! :-)


Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update list column in SharePoint hosted apps using JavaScript Client Object Model.
Based on the error message, it seems not retrieve the list object in context. I suggest you debug the code step by step using Internet Explorer Developer Tools to
find the problem.
Here are some demos about using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint hosted app:

Import TermSet CSV using client side object model

Hello,
I want to import CSV in TermStore using client side object model. Unfortunately there is no ImportManager here.
Is there any other way (Other than reading from CSV and adding term one by one to term store)?
Regards, Nanddeep Nachan

Hi,
Here is a tool(server-side) from codeplex for your reference:
SharePoint 2010 CSV Bulk Taxonomy TermSet Importer/Exporter
If you want to import termsets from CSV in Client-Side, we can refer the tool above.
You can develop a windows form application and use .Net Client Object Model to achieve it. The following articles is about how to operate the termset using Client Object Model for you reference:

What is Sharepoint client side object model ?

What is Sharepoint client side object model ?

The client-side object model (CSOM) provides client-side applications with access to a subset of the SharePoint Foundation server object model, including core objects such as site collections, sites, lists, and list items. As described in Data Access for
Client Applications, the CSOM actually consists of three distinct APIs—the ECMAScript object model, the Silverlight client object model, and the .NET managed client object model—that target distinct client platforms. The ECMAScript object model and the Silverlight
client object model provide a smaller subset of functionality. This is designed to enhance the user experience, because it minimize the time it takes Silverlight applications or JavaScript functions running in a Web page to load the files required for operation.
The .NET managed client object model provides a larger subset of functionality for standalone client applications. However, these APIs provide a broadly similar developer experience and work in a similar way.
You can write both managed client object model code and JavaScript Client Object model code in Visual Studio. As an example, you can create a console application having managed client object model code. Similarly, you may create a Visual Web Part and have
JavaScript client object model code in it. The JavaScript client object model code can also be directly written inside the SharePoint Designer as well.

Simple Object Modelling and Java IDE for OSX?

I haven't been technical for a while and I want to refresh my Java and object modelling skills. I'm looking for two things. If I can find both in the same environment so much the better.
1) A basic UML modelling tool. All I really care about is describing a medium size object model: classes, sub-classes, attributes, relations, etc.
2) A basic Java IDE. Don't need EJB or anything complex. Just want to compile run and debug simple Java programs.
I down loaded Net Objects but it seems like overkill for what I want. I looked on some open source sites but almost nothing was native to OSX it all ran under Windows or required a Java virtual machine. Actually I guess that's another question, is there already a Java virtual machine as part of OSX or do I need to download one and if so which would be the best.
I'm willing to spend a few $$ but free stuff would be better and no more than $50. So far I found one product native to OSX but the starting cost was $400+ for a five person license.

In case anyone has the same question, I just found this very nice tool on the Apple web site called Visual Paradigm for UML:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/visualparadigmforumlente rpriseedition.html
I'm still getting to know it but this is exactly what I was looking for. Fairly easy to use if you already know OO but not as complex as some other tools and works well on the Mac.

Mapping heterogenous object models

I have two different object models that contain similar information. My ultimate goal is to transfer the data from one into the other. Is there a utility to can facilitate this? An O/O mapping utility?
I have some experience with O/R mapping utilities, like hibernate and castor, and I believe that the functionality that I require is something similar. Somehow a mapping file would exist that says "this goes there and that goes there" and then maybe an engine which takes care of the object instanciation and calls to the getters and setters.
Is there some tool out there that does something like this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Have a good day.
T. Urtle Hawk

How are you 'transferring' the objects? In memory? Over a network?
If the former, then there probably is not a generic tool. You could use reflection and a configuration file to detail the mappings. It would probably only involve a handful of classes.
If sending over the network, serialize to XML and writer parsers on both ends (I am assuming that since the data is similar, your serialization routines will produce a common output). Or use JAXB and create a schema for each object.
There may be a tool to handle object mappings over a network. I'd be surprised to see one deal with mappings within a JVM. But then again, I don't get out much.

How to execute powershell .ps1 file using sharepoint object model

Hi All,
Can some one please guide me, how can i execute .ps1 file with arguments using c# under sharepoint object model?
MercuryMan

Code example:
RunspaceConfiguration runspaceConfiguration = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(runspaceConfiguration);
runspace.Open();
RunspaceInvoke scriptInvoker = new RunspaceInvoke(runspace);
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
//Here's how you add a new script with arguments
Command myCommand = new Command(scriptfile);
CommandParameter testParam = new CommandParameter("key","value");
myCommand.Parameters.Add(testParam);
pipeline.Commands.Add(myCommand);
// Execute PowerShell script
results = pipeline.Invoke();
