Tools for planning / modeling / designing a RIA

I'm about to embark on a large (to me) web project. I have little formal training but have been able to do well enough with my projects so far.
I know that planning for a large project is very important. I have been reading stuff all over the net about what needs to be in a plan and the things that need to be considered.
What I am not finding is a tool or set of tools to use during planning. Sure I could write everything in a word processor but that doesn't seem to be productive. I'm looking for something that I can use to define all the elements of my application (objects / classes / data / relationships / views / logic). I would like it be intelligent enough to know that I am designing a web application. So for example if a create a data table object it knows it will have columns with data types or if I am creating a class it may have properties and methods and events etc.
Do such tools exist?
What tools do you use when planning/documenting an application?
I came here to the Flex forum because I am thinking I may be using Flex and PHP and Flash.
Thanks

I'm looking at Enterprise Architect by Spark Systems now. Seem like a good product. Anyone have any comments?

Relational Writeback tools for Planning

Experts --
Does someone have suggestions for relational writeback tools for planning applications?
We use BPC extensively for analytics and consolidation, but some projects require transactions (e.g. human resources, capital planning). I need to have a more flexible, dynamic relational component.
Are tools available from Business Objects/SAP that facilitate writeback to tables in a relational environment?
Thanks...Marv

Zero responses...guess there is nothing out there...

Tools for converting from Designer 1.x to 6?

I am about to work for a client that would like to convert their data model from Oracle Designer version 1.3 to version 6. They, of course, have both logical and physical models defined in the tool. They do not use Designer to create triggers or stored procedures, but they do store business rules in the repository (I'm not sure where. . .). The business rules serve as documentation for business analysts.
Is Oracle Designer upwardly compatible from version 1? That is, will I be able to open the version 1 model with version 6 software? If not, are there tools that I might use to perform the transition?
Thanks for the help,
Tom

Tom,
For a technical migration from designer 1 to designer 6.0, there is extensive documentation in the 6.0 product how to do this. Your repostitory information will be available in designer 6 once you upgraded. If you used Headstart for designer 1.3.2, take a look at the Headstart migration issues for migration your template package (info can be found on OTN,(http://technet.oracle.com/products/headstart/)
. If you want to migrate your business logic, you might want to take a look at the CDM RuleFrame option (whitepapers available on the website), a powerfull way to model and implement business logic in the server (with transaction level validation, no more mutating table problems etc.)

Once selection is done the same data to be uploaded into Planning Book.
This BADI is working Fine upto 4 fields but if any extra fields are added in the table 'Error in updating ALV field catalog in selection tool' error Pop Up is coming. Here i am using Folloowing Methods
1). INIT_OBJECT_LIST
2). F4
3). LOC_PROD_VALUE_LIST
Please help on the same if u have any idea or clue.
Thanks.

Hi Srinivas!
Where did you get your implementation from?
It would be nice if you could debug your code!
For the F4 method, have you seen this note?
Note 544904 - Sample source code f.BAdI /SAPAPO/SDP_SELECTOR ('F4'method)
Also check this note. It contains selection modifications in the BAdI:
Note 376902 - SDP selector: Basis corrections for BADI
I do not know your release and support package in your SCM, but you can find a lot of notes related to this BAdI.
Thank you!

Tool for Dynpro Screen Design

Hi all,
does anybody of you know, if there exists a tool with that I can create some webdynpro 'screenshots'. It is especailly for the concept of a new application that will be implemented in webdynpro. The concept should indicate the look and feel of the application with the help of the screenshots.
...is there perhaps a modelling tool or some shape sets for modelling programs or something?
Best regards and thanks for your input,
Rolf

Rolf,
thats something different. I'm not aware of such a tool. Basically I would say that doing a mock up of the screens with WD itself is almost as fast as using any other tool. And it can be reused for the real work then....
This is a method that came up during the nineties called rapid application development. I'd really suggest to go that way.

Benny

Tools for Dimension Modelling and building Aggregates

Hello everybody,
I want to analyze and improve the dimensions of a cube and create aggregates. Please let me know if there are any standard tools/programs (in BW 3.5, but also in 7.0 if there are any improvements) to analyze the relations between characteristics in a cube. For example, I have beside others these 3 characteristics: Document Number, Customer and Date. Lets assume there is almost only one document (number) per day. This could lead into the decision of having these 2 characteristics in one dimension which you wouldnt have expected at the beginning.
Besides that, an aggregate where I throw out document number would not make any sense, because Date has the same granularity. Normally I would do that by doing some manual analysis and trial and error, but I currently have a too huge data set.
I know the RSRV and the aggregation proposals, but are there any tools that can display me the dependencies between the characteristics in a cube?
Thanks for your help,
best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
but that's it for the design of the cube/dimensions. Additionally you can use rsrt, to run a query in debug mode to get the required information about aggregates.

Cannot Show Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Applications Editor

I'm trying to teach myself the ins and outs of SSDT (I believe it was formerly called SSIS; correct me if I am wrong).
So, I'm checking to see if a file exists, and I'm following the example here:
http://bidn.com/blogs/DevinKnight/ssis/76/does-file-exist-check-in-ssis
I entered the ReadOnlyVariables and ReadWriteVariables, and as soon I I click on the 'Edit Script' button I see this popup:
What am I doing wrong here? How do I fix this problem? Is something disabled? Do I need to install something?
As an alternative, I tried the methodology I found here:
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2011/12/simulating-file-watcher-task-in-ssis.html
That looks promising. unfortunately, I don't see anything named 'Check for file presence' in my SSIS Toolbox. unless, this is something I need to create and save in the Toolbox...that's the only thing I can think of. It talks about creating
a script task, so that would make sense. Again, as I mentioned above, I can't create a script task because something isn't setup right, or configured right, or whatever.
Please help me get this working.
Thanks.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Hi ryguy72,
The issue occurs because the Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) design-time or runtime is not installed properly. This can be caused by the install order of the SSDT and SQL Server 2012 Integration Services service. Please open the Programs
and Features window, and check which of the following components are not installed (supposing it is a 64-bit SQL Server platform):
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications x86 Runtime 3.0
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications x64 Runtime 3.0
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications Design-Time 3.0
The Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications Design-Time 3.0 component should be missing in your environment. Then, install the correct Design-time or Runtime component from the \redist\VSTA\designtime\ or \redist\VSTA\runtime\ folder of the SQL Server
2012 install media.

Just wondering, what kinda tools do you prefer for data modeling

Reading alot about datamodeling, from E-R diagrams to UML. In your database designs. From the conceptual, logical and physical model. What tool you prefer the most and why. What is a good tool for such things. And does Oracle supply such tools. Just curious as to what the professionals use.
Pete

ER-WIN is your tool for Database physical / Logical data modeling.

Invalid value for variable 0calyear in planning modeller

Hi Experts,
I have an urgent requirement. In my planning modeller I have a variable for 0calyear for accepting current year and target year. If I give target year(for example, 2015) which is not present in 0calyear it is showing error that 2015 is an invalid value for 0calyear. If I give 2012 it is working fine because it is already present in 0calyear.
I would like to know how we can solve this issue. To forecast data anyway we have to enter a future year. I would really appreciate if anyone could give some information to solve the issue.
Thanking you,
Jerry.

Hi Jerry,
Just a thought.
Can you load a flat file data with year values into a DSO with 0CALYEAR as key? ( SID generation as active ).
What I am expecting is this flat file load will generate SIDs for 0CALYEAR in future year as well.
Subsequently if you try to enter that in your planning variable it should work.
I understand this is not a perfect solution. But want you to try and adopt if this is a reasonable work around.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Which tool is used to design mockup for SAP R/3 screen

Hi Experts,
Currently I'm working on the design of R/3 screens. Before I used the tool 'BALSAMIQ MOCKUPS' to draw the mockup of screens, but I don't think this tool is suitable to show how the R/3 screen should be, because the R/3 screen contains so many specific features which only exist in SAP.
So could any one tell me is there a mockup tool special for SAP R/3 screen design.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Chuan

Hi,
Did you already found any nice tool? You can check this: Great tool for creating UI mockups

Prigramming Logic details for SAP APO Planning Models

Hi All,
I need to learn more about different model available in SAP APO - DP, SNP and their behaviour.
Request to please share any link or document associated with programming logic in different planning models available in APO.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Senthil,
Thanks dear for your response.
What I am looking in programming details of exisiting DP forecasting models like Trend Analysis, Linear Regression.
What I know about MLR is that system uses below equation
Yi = bo + b1X1 + b2X2... + bn Xn
where Yi = Sales History
bo = Mean
b2 = co-efficients
x2 = causal factor etc.
Do you have document which details out how the figures are computed using these planning models?
Once again thanks for your quick reply brother.
