Product Registry and Forte problems

Hi chaps!
I downloaded Forte Community Edition 1.01 but can not install it because it
does not progress past the "Extracting..." stage.
Additionally, when I try to run "prodreg", I get the following exception:
============================================================

I am running Solaris 8 EA on a Dual Celeron 488Mhz box with 224MB of RAM.
I have tried both the Java 1.2.2 and 1.3-Beta revisons
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

As far as I know, there is no way to read the Windows registry directly and even if there were one, that would make your application no portable to any other platform (which is one of the nicest features of Forte)
Anyways, a workaround would be to write a small VB app that reads the Windows registry, gets the value and writes its output as a file. Forte can excute the VB app and then read the output file and then start the new app.
Hope this helps...

    I have tried to uninstall all Abode Acrobat installations but one file remains and refuses to be uninstalled. It gives me this error : Error applying Transforms . Verify that specified paths are valid. It was installed on Sept 18 2014.  I have downloaded a Transform update but it tells I do not have a Adobe Acrobat product installed. 

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !

  • Re: Rational Rose product and Forte

    We use Forte 3.0 with Rational Rose 4.0 since more than one year on a
    medium size project (10 developers). I have not tried Rose98 with Forte,
    so what I have to say may or may not apply to Rose98.
    In general I am very satisfied with the Forte support of Rose. The code
    generation facilities are sophisticated. For example from one attribute
    in Rose you can generate a virtual attribute and the corresponding get
    and set methods which implement the virtual attribute. You can even
    change the naming conventions (how to generate the name of get and set
    methods). You can also model all components of a Forte application like
    interfaces, events, eventhandlers, constants, domain types etc.
    Since access to the Forte repository is difficult, Rose does not read
    from or write to the repository. Instead you must export a plan as a
    .pex file, regenerate the plan from Rose and reimport the generated file
    into Forte. Rose correctly preserves the code that you have written as
    well as other information like GUI layout etc. Nevertheless this process
    is a bit tedious and prone to errors.
    Rose can import a Forte .pex and produce a model from it ("reverse
    engineering"). This works O.K. but I use it only on small prototypes
    that I developed in Forte to get a "first cut" of a model. The analyzer
    has only a few global options (for example whether you want to model
    object-valued attributes as associations or as attributes). In addition
    it names all attribute types and method parameters with fully qualified
    class names so that your methods tend to have very long signatures like
    Add(input source:Framework.IntegerData):Framework.IntegerData
    instead of
    Add(source:IntegerData):IntegerData
    On the other hand Rose generates correct Forte code if you use the short
    form in your model. So I use Rose mainly for forward generation.
    I find the combination of Rose with Forte very valuable, mostly because
    Forte does not allow a convenient documentation of plans, classes and
    attributes.
    If you have additional questions, I will be happy to answer them.

    Eric,
    As part of tool evaluation for modeling, We evaluated Rational Rose 98i . We
    were able to import forte pex files into Rose model.
    We had no problems with reverse engineering but there were problems related to
    round trip engineering.
    Since Rational Rose 98i did not have a repository based solution for
    configuration management, it was quite a task to keep the model in sync with
    multiple users updating it. However, I believe you can use Microsoft Source
    safe for configuration management though we did not try this.

    If so, have you developed any scripts to facilitate updating the Rose model,
    and which you'd be willing to share? Or perhaps discuss jointly writing
    same?
    Ideally, there would be an Fscript to facilitate exposting Forte projects,
    and a Rose script to facilitate import.

  • I'm having a problem with the registry and iTunes.

    Vista stopped seeing my DVD/CD drive the other day, so I went to the registry and deleted the high and low pass filters for the drive. This fixed that problem.
    Only problem now was that none of my programs would see the drive, so I had to reinstall all my burning software and such... except that iTunes, after reinstalling it 5 times, still will not see my drive.
    Any ideas or help? Thanks.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

    Hi, thank you for your replies, I found out few things about my servlet, and its portability
    and i have few questions, although i marked this topic as answered i guess its ok to post
    I am using javax.servlet.context.tempdir to store my files in that servletcontext temporary directory. But i dont know how to give hyperlink
    of the modified files to the user for them to download the modified files.
    What i am using to get the tempdir i will paste
    File baseurl = (File)this.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
    System.out.println(baseurl);
    baseurl = new File(baseurl.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"temp"+File.separator+"files");
    baseurl.mkdirs();so i am storing my files in that temp/files folder and the servlet processes them and modifies them, then how to present them as
    links to the user for download ?
    and as the servlet is multithreaded by nature, if my servlet gets 2 different requests with same file names, i guess one of them will be overwritten
    And i want to create unique directory for each request made to the servlet , so file names dont clash.
    one another thing is that i want my servlet to be executed by my <form action> only, I dont want the user to simply type url and trigger the servlet
    Reply A.S.A.P. please..
    Thanks and regards,

  • Can't install due to "registry" and "dll" error messages.

    I can't install any Adobe products. This occured after a complete reinstall of my Windows XP - if that has anything to do with it. I have done a reinstall before without any problems.
    I keep getting error messages about "missing registry" and "dll"s.

    I tried to install again to see what the exact error message was, but now all I get is a Microsoft message that says "Adobe Flash Player Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have been having other problems installing other products and have been getting messages like "Entry Point Not Found" followed by messages like"entry point...could not be located in the dynamic link library".
    I don't know exactly what "repaired" means in installing an OS. What I did was use my reinstall Windows OS disc and follow the instructions for a "clean" install. The prompts say that my files will be wiped out, and that programs will have to be reinstalled. When promted to pick a partition I always pick the default of a 50/50 split of the hard drive.

    to all other similar tables only. For example, some of the tables could be
    Sybase, etc.
    I believe you can change the default behaviour of the CR Report Designer in the
    File->Preferences menu, so that when reports are designed the schema prefix is
    not automatically attached.
    I have compiled some guidelines on designing reports to make them work properly
    with Forte. I will try to send them to you next week. Crystal Reports and its
    C API are a good product, and you will get good performance once the report

    Hi There,
    Crystal reports stores Database name as a hard-coded
    value in the
    report template. So if you have to use an other
    database, you will
    have to open the report template and modify the
    database name. I
    think this is why you are getting Crystal API error.

    Hello,
    I wonder if we have a similar problem.
    We are using Crystal Reports 5 and Forte 3.0.F.2. For
    the interface
    between Forte and Crystal we have in Forte a Lib using
    C-wrappering to
    the C-API of Crystal.
    We have developed a report on a database in our
    development-environment. This report comes up with data
    and works
    correct. It's no different if we have saved the report
    in Crystal with
    data or without.
    If we want to use the same report on another database
    in our
    test-environment the window from crystal reports comes
    up and when
    starting there is an error from the Crystal API
    function.
    Both environments use the same version of an Oracle
    Database and are on
    Open VMS. The client for the test is in this case
    always the same.
    From the C-API we use the method PEStartPrintJob after
    we have specified
    the rest for the report.
    Is there a possibility that this is the same error you
    mentioned? Or do
    you have any other ideas?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Tim,
    You need to upgrade to CrystalReports 6.0. There isa bug in the
    interaction between Forte and CrystalReports 5.0 (Idon't know on
    which side the bug resides, but I think that it is onthe Crystal end,
    since the problem occurs both through C-wrapperingand OLE
    interaction), which does not allow you to invoke thePrintReport
    method unless you have saved data with the report.
    As far as I know, there is no workaround, and theonly solution is to
    upgrade to CrystalReports 6.0.
    FYI, there is no ActiveX control supplied withCrystalReports 5.0 -
    you are actually using standard OLE integration.
    Hope this helps...

    Hi Forte-User !
    We got a big problem here using the crystal active-xcontrol. On my
    windows-nt 4.0 machine (with
    crystal reports installed completely) all works well.On our test
    machine (with only the crystal ActiveX
    installed), the Forte runtime shuts down afterinvoking a special
    method of the ocx (PrintReport).
    The cause for shutting down (no stacktrace orsomething like that) is
    a generated c++ exception in crystal -
    but we don't know the cause of this exception.
    Has anyone made the control work under nt 3.51 ? Doesanybody know

    correct. It's no different if we have saved the report
    in Crystal with
    data or without.
    If we want to use the same report on another database
    in our
    test-environment the window from crystal reports comes
    up and when
    starting there is an error from the Crystal API
    function.
    Both environments use the same version of an Oracle
    Database and are on
    Open VMS. The client for the test is in this case
    always the same.
    From the C-API we use the method PEStartPrintJob after
    we have specified
    the rest for the report.
    Is there a possibility that this is the same error you
    mentioned? Or do
    you have any other ideas?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Tim,
    You need to upgrade to CrystalReports 6.0. There isa bug in the
    interaction between Forte and CrystalReports 5.0 (Idon't know on
    which side the bug resides, but I think that it is onthe Crystal end,
    since the problem occurs both through C-wrapperingand OLE
    interaction), which does not allow you to invoke thePrintReport
    method unless you have saved data with the report.
    As far as I know, there is no workaround, and theonly solution is to
    upgrade to CrystalReports 6.0.
    FYI, there is no ActiveX control supplied withCrystalReports 5.0 -
    you are actually using standard OLE integration.
    Hope this helps...
    Regards,
    -Katie

    Hi Forte-User !
    We got a big problem here using the crystal active-xcontrol. On my
    windows-nt 4.0 machine (with
    crystal reports installed completely) all works well.On our test
    machine (with only the crystal ActiveX
    installed), the Forte runtime shuts down afterinvoking a special
    method of the ocx (PrintReport).
    The cause for shutting down (no stacktrace orsomething like that) is
    a generated c++ exception in crystal -
    but we don't know the cause of this exception.
    Has anyone made the control work under nt 3.51 ? Doesanybody know
    (exactly) what dll's we'll have
    to use ?
    TIA,
    Tim Hagemann

  • Web analysis, SQR Production Reporting, and maybe Interact Rpting are dead?

    Hi,
    I dont wish to hurt anyone but would like to know the facts from experts.
    Look Smarter blog says "Web analysis, SQR Production Reporting, and maybe Interactive Reporting are dead?"
    http://looksmarter.blogspot.com/search/label/Top10
    Is this true?
    Thanks,
    Shashi

    Hi Mehmet,
    thank you. I could not answer on friday, was not at office.
    I tried according to the instructions of oracle ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/pr_studio/frameset.htm?data_connection.html ). See comments:
    To create an Essbase data source connection:
    1. OK
    Select Connection on the main SQR Production Reporting Studio screen.
    The Create Data Connection wizard is displayed.
    2. OK
    On the first page, enter a name to identify the data connection.
    For example, you could enter Essbase to identify a connection to an Essbase data source.
    3. OK
    On the second page, select DDO to identify the data source provider.
    4. NOT OK. The messages shown: "Unable to start the JVM. Ensure that the JRE section of the SQR.INI file contains the correct directory. (4)"
    "Unable to erad DDo Registry.Properties file. Check location and accessibility, an that the sqr.ini DDO pathvariable settings are correct (DDO.3)."
    On the third page, select an Essbase data source.
    The wizard displays the available registries and data sources.
    Seems some setting problems. We would check that. Any suggestions to that error??
    Ole

  • Fixing the problem with the Device Not Recongized by WMP and Mediasource problem with MTP devi

    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!!! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER FAILED SOLUTIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH MY WHOLE POST TO MAKE IT WORK!!!TRUST ME!!!
    ok, now I read this a billion times, and felt that I was the only idiot that had a "bad" computer that didn't allow me to use my Zen mtp device... but it turns out I was more idiotic than I thought. I hope this helps those who have the same problem I had...here goes...
    When you go to the Creative Labs website, go to Support, then Knowledge Base, then go to the MP3 players picture in the PRODUCT CATEGORY and click on it. You need to follow the steps that are described on the SID0053 Product Article. Then click on the Editing the System Registry link towards the bottom and it will tell you what to do...BUT there is something that I never ever did right and I bet lots of other folks didn't do right either. Once you are in the USB Properties seccion of the registry, YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO ADD THE WORD "EVERYONE" INTO THE ALLOWED SECCION!!! Not just because it says "Administrators" and what not means that EVERYONE IS ALLOWED, allow the word "everyone"thne click OK. Now, I did this with my Zen Touch on and plugged into the USB port and without the word DOCKED on it, as it wouldn't dock for me before this. that's it... hope it works for you, if it does then almost instantly the word DOCKED should appear on your MP3 player's Display. Hope that everyone has the same luck as I did. if not, I'll pray for you, I know how frustrating this problem is because I delt with it for toooooo long.

    I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
    If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
    I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
    ) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
    2) Select "Properties"
    3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
    4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
    5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
    When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
    If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually <i>is</i> doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
    Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
    As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

  • Reading the Registry from Forte

    All,
    I recently needed to add the ability to read values
    from the Windows Registry using Forte. After searching
    through the mailing list archives I discovered that
    several others have needed to do the same but the only
    solution seemed to be to create a C wrapper for the
    Windows API. Currently we do not use a C/C++ compiler
    and did not want to do so just to read the registry.
    The solution I discovered to this problem is simple
    and can easily be added to any Forte application. I
    just wanted to share my idea in the hopes that it will
    help someone.
    The solution is dependent on the Microsoft Windows
    Script Host, which allows native execution of VBScript
    and JScript on a Windows OS. The host can be
    downloaded from Microsoft separately at
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/. Chances are it
    is already installed on your machine if you have IE5.
    Check the \\windows\ directory for wscript.exe and
    \\windows\command directory for cscript.exe. See the
    site for further details.
    The idea is to run a script (Example script below)
    from Forte using the OperatingSystem.RunCommand and
    redirect the output like this:
    c:\windows\command\cscript.exe //nologo example.js >
    example.ini
    This will produce something like the following:
    [FORTE]
    ForteRoot=c:\forte3L2
    ForteNsAddress=host.name:5000
    ForteModelNode=developer-node
    The redirected file can then be read and parsed.
    Viola! You can access the registry. Afterwards the
    file can be discarded.
    In my implementation I am going to keep a file
    similiar to the example file in a database so I don't
    need to modify code if I change the script (although
    it is hard to get away from that) and I can deploy the
    script to any node I wish (a big plus). You could
    potential deploy the cscript.exe file in the same way
    if you are worried about it not being installed on the
    target machine.
    For my purposes I did not spend the time to create
    classes designed to handle this process (i.e. retrieve
    script, write script to file system, execute script,
    read and parse results, etc.) but it certainly is not
    out of the realm of possibility.
    Well that's about it. Write me if you have any
    questions.

    Thanks for you reply but I'm still a little lost with the reply.
    What is the rest of the commands?
    I understand this will query the registry, but what about searching for "LT or DT" and the IF/GOTO Commands?
    reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform
    I think my confusion is how to define LT or DT as the variable. I keep finding %errorlevel%  variable, but that seems to only define on (1) or off (0)
    Here's what I have so far and I dont' think it's correct.
    reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform /f
    if "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "LT" GOTO HOME
    if "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "DT" GOTO NOOOOPE
