Problem importing an Erwin model

Hi all,
we are considering Data Modeler as our team modelling tool in substitution of Erwin. We have a complex logical model build with Erwin 4.1; I've saved it in xml format and tried to import in DM: it has imported everything but the column type is always the default one CHAR(18). As far we don't use domains in Erwin and therefore all the columns of the model are of the domain type "Unknows" but with the logical type inserted (eg VARCHAR2(50)), it seems it assigns the "unknown" data type to all them and doesn't use the (present) data definition (nor fisical and logical). Is there a "switch" we can use to override this behaviour?
I upgraded the model to and Erwin 7.3, saved it as a Repository XML and imported in DM: the problem expired but the "notes" are not imported. In "definition" (imported in "Comments" in DM) we put the functional definitions of the field (what is), while in Notes technical informations like list of values, migrated infos (how valorize ir) etc. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance for your collaboration ...
Regards,
Simone

Ivan,
thanks for your collaboration and for your answers.
In the two xml posted both "definitions" and "notes" (the xml tags <definition> and <Notes>) are correctly valorized as they are in Erwin.
But while the import of the 4.1 xml correclty compiles the two field (Definition in "Comments", Note in "Notes"), the 7.3 only considers <definition> putting the information in "Comment", leaving out the notes.
Now, in order to go on, I made a "preimporter" utility in php that manipulates the two tags storing both the informations under the tag <definitions>.
Therefore if I could know which is the name of the erwin tag associated to the DM field "Note" I would be happier to mantain separated the two informations; you know, it is always difficult to introduce a new tool in an organization: if you also have to remap the data stored in a shared model some older member may do resistence ...
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Simone

  • Problem importing java bean model

    I had importing a lot of classes from my bussiness model but I have some problem with some classes. Those classes uses others from external jars, like common collection.
    I imported common-collection.jar to wd project, but I got the same error. Is posible use external classes in my model? How can I import it? (external jars)

    Hi,
    You have to create a DC of type extyernal library.
    And paste the external library in the libraries.
    And craete public of both types SDA & API.
    Right click on the pasted jars in the libraries folder.
    Right click on the jar>Development Component->Add to public part(Create a one with API radio button selected).
    Repeat the same step selecting SDAs radio button.
    Now add the public part created by you in the Web dynpro DC ur working .

  • Erwin model import into ODI

    Hi,
    Hs anyone out there done an import of Erwin Models into ODI. I am trying to achieve this succesfully, but though the model gets imported with the columns , heirachy and constraints, the "Diagrams" leaf does not display an ERD as expected.
    My steps are as follows:
    1) In Erwin create a model (PRODUCT MODEL) containing 2 objects - PRODUCT and PRODUCT_TYPE with a one to many relationship between them. i.e. a product can belong to only ONE product type.
    2) Export model to External Format with the following parameters:
    Source parameters
    ==============
    parameter Value
    Import UDPs As metadata, migrate default values
    Import relationship name From relationship name
    Import IDs True
    Import subject areas Imported as packages and diagrams
    Destination parameters
    ==============
    parameter Value
    Directory c:\users\olu\erwin testing
    ID Suffix 991
    XML files get created in desitnation directory.
    LSC_UNAMEDSCHEMA.xml
    MOD_UNAMEDSCHEMA.xml
    In ODI Designer, import model with the following parameters:
    Import Type - Duplication
    File import directory - c:\users\olu\erwin testing
    File to import - UnanamedSchema
    Model imports succesfully, but there are no diagrams. Is that the default behaviour?
    Thanks,
    Olu

    I would not personally use diagrams within ODI, they are incredibly slow to work with. When I have used Erwin to create the model, I have just incremented the version of the filename, so got round the versioning issue that way.
    One thing that may sway you is that ODI is additive only. I.e. if you remove a column or a FK from your model, when reversing this back into ODI, that column/FK will still remain in the ODI model (remember this is metadata, so logical, not physical) so will still need to physically move it from the ODI interface mappings/model. So using your concept of checking out the diagrams, amending them and then reversing them back into ODI will not be 100% accurate.
    The new version of Oracle SQL developer does have a modelling tool. And this also has versioning
    Hope this helps

  • Importing Erwin models to SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM)

    Has anyone successfully done this? The real problem I am having is figuring out how to export the model from Erwin. SDDM expects an XML file from Erwin, but we have not figured out where in Erwin there is a XML export option. I am assuming someone in product development tested this right? And that they had a specific path they followed to make it successful. I am trying ot get a client to use SDDM but if we can't get the existing models into SDDM, it will be a no-go.
    Thanks!

    Hi Kent,
    we have not figured out where in Erwin there is a XML export optionIt's in "Save As" functionality (ERwin) - you can select to save the model in XML format - that's for ERwin 4.x and ERwin 7.x.
    Version 2.0 (current published) supports import from ERwin 4.x, version 3.0 of data modeler supports import of ERwin 7.3 models.

  • Problem importing from JVC MG 155 (videcam with hard disk drive)

    I had a problem importing video from my videocam Jvc MG 155.
    I tried when there was only few record in the videocam and everything gone right.
    Otried when there were 520 movies and over 4 hour of video (I went to holiday and made also underwater movies) and the program crach before importing the movies.
    I can import the moviesw only via firewire but in this way i import in DV mode (so I have near 60 gigabytes occupied by that movies insted of the original size in the hdd of the camera of 18 giga).
    Someone have a solution?
    If I import by firewire I reach the same quality (the camera record directly in mpeg 2 and via firewire I import in dv way)?
    Any idea?
    Jvc don't support mac because they don't give you software compatible (the cd inside is win only).

    You are right.
    But the first time I imported with imovie 08 (the time when there was only few movies on the camera and everything gone right and the program don't crash) i notice that the program imported the movies in compress format (mpeg2) and the size was the same of the videocamera (more or less ..but I'm sure it's not in DV format).
    Maybe the prgram crash because of the hight number of the miniature it must generate to let me choose witch I want import.
    Certantly Apple mus resolve this bug because the model of this videocamera is one of the fews they assure like compatible directly with imovie 08.

  • How to import a 3d model in LabVIEW

    Hello all, I am a new user in LabVIEW, how can I import a 3d model (eg. .max or .3ds file) in LabVIEW? Thx

    I had a similar problem, showing a free-form 3D-object from a construction program. I tried to import the model from a VRML file, but the appropriate VI "Load VRML File.vi" couldn't handle the complexity of the the file. I suppose this is also true for the other file loading VIs.
    My steps were:
    Exporting the 3D- Object as a VRML- file. I checked the correct export with the free VRML viewer/editor "White_Dune". Since my object was a free form object, it didn't consist of geometrical forms, such as cylinders or cones but a great number of points, describing the surface. In the .wrl soucefile this is to be seen as a long row of numbers, surrounded by [ ] brackets. These numbers are the x-y-z coordinates of the points. I copied them to another file and made a VI to translate them to an array of <x;y;z> - clusters. These clusters could be used to view the points in a 3D Parametric Surface Control. I used this to determine the points, which are necessary to describe the object with adequate detail level.
    Next step was to translate this cloud of points in a form suitable for the mesh- functions used by the 3D- Picture Control. I chose the easy way and projected all points on one plane (e.g. the x-z-plane) and determined the hull points of the resulting 2D geometry. This I could easily feed into the Mesh- VI. But this is not the solution for every problem.
    If you have some questions or need explanations in more detail, please ask.

  • Problems importing 3D layers from Photoshop

    Hi, I am a public school teacher in Australia and we have a site licence for the Adobe Master Collection CS4 at school. I am having some problems importing 3D layers into After Effects from Photoshop.
    Firstly, I have a computer in my office with exactly the same software, installed from the same source as the computers in my class room. They are all running Google SketchUp 8, Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4.
    In my office I am able to export a 3D model from SketchUp using the KMZ format and open it using Photoshop. I can then save the file as a PSD file. I can't attach the file here as it is just over 2mb. When I import it into After Effects using the Photoshop Live 3D option I can rotate the model as normal and the elements appear as shown below.
    When I try the exact same exercise in my class room (where the computers are all running exactly the same versions of Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4) the model is imported as a 2D image with no ability to rotate or interact with the model. It appears that the camera and controller layers are missing from the timeline as well as the Solids folder from the Project pane as shown below.
    I have been trying to figure out the difference for most of the day today and so far I cannot find any reason for this to occur, neither can I find anyone with a similar problem who has solved it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Mr Merrick

    PS Live 3D requires hardware acceleration to work properly, that is in terms of OpenGL support being available in Photoshop on the machines in question. If that's not the case, the importer component won't function either as it uses the same routines.

  • My Mac was upgraded to Snow Leopard. iMovie now have problems importing from SONY camcorder.

    This is the first time I hooked up my camcorder since the upgrade.  iMovies shows my videocan with an excalamation mark inside a yellow diamond and bogs down completely.  What is wrong?  I have iLife 2011.  Is there a setting that I missed?

    {quote}Has anyone else had problems importing with this specific model or a related model and if so were you able to fix the problem or find a work around? I guess I could transfer the old Sony movies to my new Canon GL2 and then import into the iMac but that kind of defeats the purpose as I have been repeatedly told how simple and intuitive it is to do things on the iMac.{quote}
    I don't have the Sony, but for older tape camcorder's I use a standard DVD recorder and burn the movie to DVD then use [HandBrake|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21117] to convert to MPEG-4 for importing to iMovie.

  • Problems importing connections from a SAN directory

    Is anybody having a problem importing connections from a directory that's on a SAN?
    My network is setup so that the Application Data directory is out on a SAN and when SQL Developer opens up the file dialog, current directory is listed as C:\ and entry in the file name field is file://<server>/<path to my stuff>/Application Data/SQL Developer/. This looks fine but when I click on the "Open" button to get the directory listing, an error dialog pops up with the following message:
    The directory C:\file:\<server>\<path to my stuff>\Application Data\SQL Developer is not accessible. Please select a different directory.
    When I change the current directory to the drive that maps the SAN location, I get the same message only with C: replaced with another drive letter.
    If I had to guess, the dialog is not processing the file:// protocol indicator properly before it attempts to get the directory listing. Does anyone have a work around?

    Other users also had problems with network shares, so you're right that might very well be the cause of your problems.
    As workaround, try mapping the settings folder to a local drive. Add this to \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf:
    AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=C:\sqldeveloperHope that helps,

  • Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

    I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:

    I am having the same problem...
    and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
    "Import Error"
    Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
