Publishing Server model and ER Diagrams

I want to be able to publish to (PDF or HTML) copies of the Server Model and ER Diagrams I have created.
It seems from the forum that this feature is available in some releases of Designer 10G. What version do I need to upgrade to get to get access to this feature. I am currently on 9.0.4.3.

You probably have everything you need in the version you have now. First of all, you need to get the diagrams into a publishable format. You can include them as images in a Word document. You can cut and paste into Paint and save as GIF, PNG or JPG. You can print with a utility that writes to PDF instead of a printer or plotter - the full version of Adobe Acrobat can do this, or there are open source utilities (I've used CutePDF with success).
As for publishing, of course you can use any web server if you like. If you want something more than just putting the diagram files on a web server, then you can install the Repository Object Browser (ROB). ROB is like a read-only web version of the Repository Object Navigator (RON). I believe that ROB is available for your version of Designer. Look for a folder called ROB61 in your Oracle Home. There is an HTML document there that will tell you how to install it. You will need a web server that supports PL/SQL web applications to install ROB, such as Oracle Application Server. It will also need a Java servlet engine like OC4J to use certain ROB features like file upload and download which you will need for diagrams.

Client/server model and avoiding a registry lookup

Sorry if this question has been asked/answered before - I searched the forums and could not find the answer to my quesiton.
I am using RMI to model a fairly vanilla client/server protocol. Client to server communctions are no problem (yet :-)) . The problem is, that sometimes I want the server to initiate communcations to the client (I guess the client would be acting as the 'server' in those instances although the client is the one that makes the initial connection) Is there any way to do this without the server having to bind the client in the client's remote registry? That would require a open port and I want to avoid that for people who are behind firewalls. I was thinking the client could pass an instance of itself, or an instance of a bound stub, and as long as it implemented 'Remote' then it should be OK. I don't have a problem setting up a registry client side, but if I pass an instance of client that is either registry bound or unbound, as long as it implements Remote, (or rather an interface that extends Remote) will the server make remote calls on the client object?

It's done all the time. What you're looking for is called "callback." Sun has a tutorial.
One note: Calling the client requires the client to open a port for communication. This happens when the client exports the remote object.

Any techniques to speeden up Server model generation/Table to Entity retrofit??

Hi,
Do we have any technique/method to speeden up the Server Model generation/table to entity retrofit??
Basically I am reverse engineering an Oracle 8i database.
Generating ERDs from exisiting table structures in the database.
Designer is usually taking around 12hrs to generate the Server Model and 14 hrs to do the table to entity retrofit.
The client machine is Win NT 4 with 128 MB RAM and the Server is Win NT Server with 256 MB RAM.

Hi Cherif Bouslimi,
Thanks for your hints. I can now generate Table API within Design Editor's Server Model Diagram. I started the generated SQL file and Package Specification, Package Body and Triggers are created. However, when I try to insert data in a Master Table, the following errors appear:
SQL> desc products
Name Null? Type
PRODUCT_NO NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6)
DESCRIPTION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
UNIT_PRICE NOT NULL NUMBER(5,2)
SQL> insert into products values ('1','1',1);
insert into products values ('1','1',1)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04063: package body "POSOWNER.CG$PRODUCTS" has errors

ORA-06512: at "POSOWNER.CG$BIS_PRODUCTS", line 4
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'POSOWNER.CG$BIS_PRODUCTS'
Are these Table APIs have to be used with generated Forms but NOT working in SQL Plus?
Is there any relationship betw[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

How to test my inApp purchase in server model while my one app is live

I have an iOS app with in APP purchase with server model, and ready for QA submission. According to Apple documents, my server should call "https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt" url for testing.
That means till my app is in QA I have to put this url in my server and when my app cleared the review process and ready for sale then I should change my url?
Ok, if that is the case, then how can I test my other application when the previous app is live? I have to create new urls to communicate with the server? I don't think this would be the only way. OR my application should tell my server whether it's a sandbox user or not? If yes, please help me how to check for that in the app. Please help me if I am missing something. Thanks.

Out of the box every part of .NET will use the current culture of the machine for conversion to and from strings. This includes currency, numbers, dates, etc. One way to change that is to modify every place you use ToString or Parse/TryParse
to specify a culture. Another approach would be to set the thread(s) CurrentCulture/CurrentUICulture to be English which would override the default of the OS culture.
But I cannot possibly recommend that you do this. Issue 1 with such an approach is that there are places where ToString is called implicitly and you'd miss those cases. Issue 2 is that making your app use a single culture is basically an anti-localization
process which goes against modern application development. Issue 3 is that you are hiding the fact that your code has a design flaw. Your code shouldn't care about the culture of the user in regards to string processing. If your code is making
assumptions about culture settings then it is wrong. You should be using culture-agnostic values if you don't care about cultural information.

"Importing" table-comments into an existinting server model with a text file

Hello
i have redesigned a database with the "capture design" tool - server model and
server model diagramm is ok.
Now, i want add many table- and column-comments into the server model.
I wrote these comments with the "comment on table..." and "comment on column...."-command (in uppercase mode)
into a scriptfile and tried, to "import" this scriptfile with the "capture design" ==> "server model" ==> "DDL-Files".
The designer said "Processing Complete: 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)". But if i look in the server model or in the
server model diagramm....nothing happened.
Has anyone an idea?
regards

Aha, we're onto something here + I've just been reading the thread with +75 replies that's currently on the front screen which seems to be related though not entirely.
OK the original filename was Renting Checklist.txt with a space, I deleted the space and renamed it Renting_Checklist.txt, made it the only attachment to a new email and sent from my ISP email account to my gmail account and it went fine.
So that's why then but it's strange that it went when it was attached on an email with another attachment (whose filename didn't contain spaces or special characters). Does this sound tied in with the similar problems that others are having? It ought to be worthy of a fix, I can't tell when this problem started because I haven't had cause to send an email with a text attachment that had spaces in the filename.

Contribute Publishing Server - forgot password!

We have Contribute Publishing Server running and have forgotten the admin password. How do we reset this?
thanks.

I guess I didn't see anything from Macromedia that tells me
that CPS works with the new version. I'm not looking for new
features. I just want to make sure there aren't any
incompatibilities, outstanding bugs.

Re-generation a Server Model

Hi,
I generated a server model from a ER model. I then changed things in my ER model and re-generated but some elements from my previous server model are still there after (some foreign keys and generated primary keys). Is there a way to tell the generator to forget everything from the previous server model and to re-generate all the tables from scratch? I can't find...
Thanks
Jean Vaillancourt

I've noticed that the Design Editor doesn't always show changes even though they have been made to the repository.
Try clicking on the changed items in the Design Editor and hitting "Requery Selection" or "Requery All". See if that fixes your problem.

Thanks, George

Trouble with opening/creating Server Model Diagrams

I created server model diagrams by drag-and-dropping specific tables from the Server Model Navigator. Is it supposed to take a LONG time
for this step (e.g., 3 whole minutes for one table) or should it be basically "immediate"? They eventually made it, but seemed unreasonably long!
I saved the diagrams, quit, and come back to the repository, see the diagram names, click on a diagram, verify the elements inside, everything
looks good -- until I try to open the diagram, it (Design Editor) locks up every time!!
Does anybody know why I'm having either one of the above problems? Is there any setting I need to configure?
(By the way, I'm using Designer 6i with an Oracle 8.1.7 database.)
Thanks in advance.
Brenda

Could be your memory. Designer takes alot to run, as you may know. Minimum should be 256mb. Close all apps and try to open
the diagram again. I have had lots of trouble with my designer locking up!

Data Models and Data Flow diagrams.

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody brief me the concept of Data Models and Data Flow Diagrams and their development with illustrations. And is it a responsibility of a Technical or a Functional consultant..i.e to translate Business requirements and functional specifications into technical specifications, data flow diagrams and data models.
Your valuable answers will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Concept of Data Models
Data model or Data modelling is basically how you define or design your BW Architecture based on Business requirements. It deals with designing and creating a effcient BW architecture sticking to standard practices.

Data Flow Diagrams
This show the path of data flow for each individual object in BW. How data dets loaded into that object and how it is going out of the object etc.
Right click on the data target > show data flow .
It shows all the intermdeiate layer through which data comes into that particular object.
Responsibility of a Technical or a Functional consultant
This is done genrally in the designing phase itself by a Senior Technical Consultant with the help of a Functional consultant or a Techno=Functional consultant interacting with Business.
Hope this helps.

Published Flash module and 404 errors in the web server log

I’ve created a Presenter module, published it to my computer, and uploaded all the files to a web server. And it plays fine via the web.
The odd thing is a bunch of 404 errors in the web log:
10.1.2.104 - - [29/Jul/2009:10:36:00 -0700] "GET /repository/university/courses/3/flash/data/spk10821.1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 255 "-" 1166 419
10.1.2.104 - - [29/Jul/2009:10:36:29 -0700] "GET /repository/university/courses/3/flash/data/spk10821.1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 255 "-" 1166 419
10.1.2.104 - - [29/Jul/2009:10:36:57 -0700] "GET /repository/university/courses/3/flash/data/spk10821.1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 255 "-" 1166 419
In the data directory there is a file named spk10821.jpg that was generated by Presenter. The image is actually the presenter bio photo that would normally show up in the sidebar -- but no photo is there. The browser never requests the valid spk10821.jpg file, only the non-existent spk10821.1.jpg path.
Anybody know why this would be happening? I see in data/viewer.xml there is a tag for <image>spk10821.1.jpg</image> but I don’t know why Presenter would mention that file in the XML but generate a differently-named one in the publish folder.
I’m wondering if I should have the web server rewrite requests with the ".1.jpg" ending to get rid of the ".1" part so they will work.
By the way, this is with PowerPoint 2003 SP3 and Presenter 7.0.1.

Hi Daniel,
I am assuming that you are using Visual Studio 2010 to target the .Net framework 4.0
Crystal Reports 2008 is not compatible with VS 2010. Use [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010|Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Production Release Now AvailableCystlR%2528SAPWeblogs%253ACrystal+Reports%2529] to target .Net framework 4.0.
Deploy the application using the methods specified in the 'Deployment' section of the [CR for VS 2010 .Net SDK developer guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sapCRVS2010/en/crnet_dg_2010_en.zip].
See if you can reproduce the issue after redeploying the application as mentioned above.
Few questions-
- Is it the dev machine or production machine causing the issue?
- OS version?
- What does the application do? i.e. view, export, print report?
- Issue is with some reports or all the reports.
See if there is an image on the report, remove the image and add it as a picture object ' Insert --> Picture' from the CR designer.
Hope this helps,
Bhushan.

Publish to Staging and Production from the Authoring server

Hi,
Is it possible to configure CQ in such a way that, when the user activate a content, it will be publish to the Staging server.
And then the user can trigger a workflow in the same authoring server, and send the content to the production server?
Or is there any other way round?
Basically the user does not want to login into multiple CQ instance.
Thanks

You would have to implement several things to allow this work:
You need replication agents for all the production publish servers and the staging servers. To simply your life you will probably want to set up your dispatcher agents on your publish and staging servers so you don't have to deal with them during the workflow.
You need to decide how you want the standard activation tools to behave (activate button, activate later, other possible workflows) behave. You have a couple of options:
Have the default activation behaviors publish to both environments
Have the default activation only publish to production publish
Have the default activation only publish to staging
Have the default activation do nothing
Based on that decision above you may have to check the Ignore Default option on the Triggers tab of the replication agents that shouldn't get anything on the standard publish.
Create a workflow process that will publish only to selected publish instances. Most likely this will be a step that only publishes to your Staging server, in which case you need some configuration mechansim which identifies which replication agents are staging agents.
