Swimlane grayed and disactivated in activity diagram

After loosing hours to build a simple use case with system boundaries I would create a little activity diagram but the swimlane stay desesparetely grayed and disactivated.
Modeling with JDeveloper still really painful ... i think i will reactivate my old rose license ... I hopped once (just a dream) that oracle will consider rose as a plug in in JDeveloper.

Found the explanation in the help ... we have to activate swilane in the diagram with a right click ... Just a little bit more to discover ...

Activity Diagrams & Swimlanes

I'm using JDeveloper 11g release (11.1.1.2.0).
I previously used JDeveloper version 10.1.3.3.0 and made use of swimlanes in the UML Activity Diagrams. In version 11g I can't see any way to use swimlanes in the UML Activity Diagram. Are swimlanes no longer available in the UML Activity Diagrams or indeed any UML diagrams?

There is indeed no more "swimlane" in the current JDeveloper. You can still display and assign each element to its correct partitions, that is the name in uml2.
To display the partitions for each element, there is 3 ways you can do that:
1- go to preferences for the activity diagram and for all nodes choose to "Show Partitions".
2- If you already have elements then select the element and in the property inspector choose "Show Partition"
3- or select the elements and choose "Visual Properties" from the context menu and change the "Show Partition" there.
To assign the elements to the proper partitions you can do it in 2 different ways:
1- Once you have shown the partition, it can be in-place edited.
2- Double click on the element to fire up the dialog and change the partition there on the right panel of the root node.
We have as top priority to add the swimlane support on top of uml2, the activity diagram is now uml2 compliant.
I hope it helps.

Activity Diagram Swimlane Height

How do I increase height of an activity diagram swimlane?
Mike

Mike,
If you select the left-hand side of the Swimlane which contains the name, the Swimlane should be shown with grab bars. If you select the bottom-middle grab bar and drag it down it should increase the height of your Swimlane.

Activity diagram - Vertical swimlane

Hi,
I'm using the UML activity diagram and I'd like to layout out the swimlanes in a vertical disposition (like UML books show them) instead of horizontally. Is there any option? If I lay them vertically, the whole diagram can be fit in less space (remember that writing goes horizontally).
Thanks. Miquel.

Activity Diagrams - Vertical Swimlanes possible ?

Hi,
Is it possible to have Vertical Swimlanes in an Activity Diagram (Jdeveloper 10.1.3 or 10.1.3.1) ?
So far I can only get Horizontal Swimlanes.
Thanks,
Claudio.

Hi Claudio,
Vertical Swimlanes have never been implemented in JDeveloper just Horizontal ones.

UML Activity Diagram does not have Signal (Send and Receive) Shapes

I'm using Visio 2013 Professional and I created a new UML Activity Diagram.
On the left, on the UML Activity Stencil, I have only 9 shapes. I cannot find the Signal Send and Signal Receive shapes. I have searched on the other UML diagram types but can't find them.

Hi,
As far as I know, the UML diagrams was released in Visio 2013 Professional. It is introducing all new shapes that look great and allow you to create modern, professional diagrams. The UML diagrams match the UML 2.4 standard, and templates are available for
the five most popular diagram types: Class, Sequence, Use Case, Activity and State.
http://blogs.office.com/2012/10/22/professional-flexible-beautiful-uml-content/
Thus, if we still need to use UML 2.2 template which include: Signal Send and Signal Receive shapes, please try the workaround:
Copy the "UML Activity Stencil" from Visio 2010 and load it in Visio 2013.

Activity Diagram in Jdeveloper.

Hi ,
I am trying to create a activity diagram for representing my requirement.
I have two separate diagrams. In the MainFLow , i use 'Call Behaviour Action' so that i could call the subFlow. The problem is
In the MainFlow, i would like to pass the parameters to the SubFlow, to which i have already set 4 parameters.
Now, I should know, how to assign the values to that parameters from the MainFlow.
Thanks,
Sabarisri. N

Are you dragging from the component palette?
If so are you seeing a new shape in the App Nav called something like partition0 ?
If this is the case you can workaround this by clicking on the swimlane in the component palette and then clicking on the surface of the diagram. This works for me, its how I usually create a swimlane.
Thanks,
Geoff

UML Activity Diagram

Hello everybody,
Is there a way to add events and interrupts in an activity diagram in jDeveloper? I already saw that there is no way to draw swimlanes.
Thanks,

When I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active it won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on

when I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active eyetv won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on. When I totally close eyetv and reopen eyetv and open a live tv window the closed captioning comes back. I never noticed this with os leopard, Just after i installed os snow leopard. All software is up to date only I think, thanks to apple they droped support for logic express. Thanks for any suggestions.

Does toggling CC off & back on bring it back?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

When i send a text in iMessage the person receiving it gets it from my email address... how do i change that. and in message settings the receiving thing has my email and phone number but my phone number is gray and i can't click on it

when i send a text in iMessage the person receiving it gets it from my email address... how do i change that. and in message settings the receiving thing has my email and phone number but my phone number is gray and i can't click on it help

Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian

How to get XML files out of activity diagrams of UML

Using Rational Rose I have developed a model now I want a way to get XML file for each activity diagram of the model built. This XML file will be the input file for Project Cleveland which instantiates the services according to the documentation in this XMl file

In the Photos mode go to the View menu and uncheck Event Titles. That will leave you with only thumbnails displayed in the Photos view. However, if you close from that mode and reopen the opening time will be slower since iPhoto has to read and render all of the thumbnails. It can get rather long.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Activity with "(re-uese)" postfixed to name in an Activity Diagram

I am creating a new activity diagram and trying to including a pre-existing activity. This activity is currently not used in any other diagrams. (I had created a diagram and later deleted it. All the activities still stayed in the "Application Sources" under the package.)
This occurs when I do drag and drop from the "Application Sources" into the diagram. It also happens when I right-click and use "Add to diagram".
How do I include the activity without having the "(re-use)" postfixed to its name in the activity diagram?
The only way I can find to not have the "(re-use)" is to delete the activity and recreate it from scratch. Is there an easier way?
I am using version 10.1.3.0.2.223 on Windows XP.
Mike

Mike,
Although I have reproduced this issue in 10.1.3 Production as well I would recommend moving up to the latest version rather than working off a Preview from 2 years ago as we have made many improvements to the overall look and feel of both JDeveloper and the Modelers.
To workaround the issue, remove the Activity with the '(reuse)' after it from the current diagram and save and close JDeveloper. In a text editor open up the Activity file ('xxx.oxm_act'), you should find a line like:
<cid name="CONTAINER_REFERENCE" key="<Some Text>" />
Replace the above line with:
<null name="CONTAINER_REFERENCE" />
and save the file. Reopen JDev and include the Activity back on the Diagram, it should no longer say '(Reuse)' after it.

How do I export/inport an activity diagram for someone else to make updates

I created several projects with activity diagrams. Someone else need to update just the diagram. How can I make this available to them.
Thanks,

User,
Activity diagrams (appear to be) stored in 2 files:
<diagram name>.oxd_oam
and
top <diagram name>.oxm_act

Copying a UML activity diagram from 1 database to another within BPA

Is it possible to copy a UML activity diagram from one database to another database within BPA, there does not need to be a link between the original and copied diagrams? This is possible by Export/Import.
Edited by: [email protected] on 04-Mar-2009 08:34

I haven't tried this specifically with the UML Activity diagram but generally yes all models can be exported as XML and imported into another BPA database. If they are on the same server you may also use the merge capability to move models, objects and folders between DBs. For merge, you have to have the same folder structure in both DBs and and drag the thing you want to merge and drop it on the DB name.

Activity Diagram Problem

I cannot place a And Fork/Join object in an activity diagram. The other tools seem to work OK for activity diagrams, but not this one. Am I missing some concept here?

Hi!
Are you actually getting a message displayed when trying to create an AND. There is no special technique, you just need to select it in the component palette and then click on the diagram to be created.
Are you just getting this problem on one diagram or all diagrams?
If you run with jdev.exe rather than jdevw.exe do you get anything printed to the console window?
Thanks,
