Hello!
I can't access extention attributes with Object type for VB Script. The following functions either don't work or cause exeptions: HasExtendedAttribute, GetExtendedAttribute and GetExtendedAttribute (as it's mentiond in the manual: "The type of returned value is a string except for extended attributes with Boolean or Object type"). Could you please tell me the way to have an access to external attributes with Object type? Thank you in advance.
I recently had a problem in recognizing an IAR license from a customer.
The customer installed PD 16.5 SP04 (x64) on a 64bit host and encountered an error below while loading the generated license.
The customer licensed the IAR package and the generated license was valid.
KBA 2087166 describes the cause and resolution for this kind of problem.
Thanks Anthony.

Hi,
I am trying to import attribute view and analytic view from HANA database1.0(revision 53) repository to PowerDesigner v16.5.0.4038 EBF2 but I can not get the views to a multidimensional PDM model with the following error message.
Can anyone help me about this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
IS Lee.
Its a Friday question. Basically the Microsoft script engine supports both VB Script (.vbs) and JavaScript (.js). I'm hoping PD can use both also (but I suspect not)
For the longest time I've used the Javascript for all my MS scripting (as it exists on all machines Win 95+ and all server products - whilst PowerShell is newer it still doesn't have the ability to be on every machine I tend to use at customers sites) and would like to leverage some of my Windows scripts within PowerDesigner without having to "convert" them into a VBScript equivalent.
The other real benefit that keeps me from switching to VB associated with JavaScript is the Try/Catch paradigm which is more manageable than the VBScript "On Error []". Obviously there are many others, but those are the main things.
So while I'm guessing not, is there a way for the PD scripting to use the MS JavaScript engine?
Thanks,
Gareth
Looking to modify the view DDL. Using PowerDesigner version 15.2 for Teradata. Have been able to make quite a bit of customization on the .xdb but there are two things I want to change:
a) list all the view columns individually rather than in one continuous line
b) not fully qualify every column in the view select statement with the owner and table name
These things appear to be controlled by system variables (%SQL%, %VIEWCOLN%).
While I've gotten pretty good at customizing PowerDesigner - and am so pleased at the extent that it can be customized - this is one thing I have yet to figure out. Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Wondering if anyone is using PowerDesigner for modeling tables for Hive and/or HBase? I have started a custom .xdb file for Hive but it falls short when dealing with complex data types and there are additional customizations needed that I have not figured out yet. I've heard that the next version will have some sort of support for big data, but no idea what that will look like.
Hello folks,
You may notice that the majority of my questions are related with the PowerDesigner Web... I have made available the Portal to the users of the company to see the diagrams of my model and they come up to me bringing doubts and "problems"... I appreciate the help that you are giving to me.
In this time is about the publication of the model... My model is a little big... When I check in the model and publish it in the PowerDesigner Web, it takes a long time to visualize the changes in the Portal (some cases it takes more than one hour to publish the model).
I read the documentation about the memory of Java (Installing the PowerDesigner Web Server - Installation Guide - SAP Library) and I made some changes trying to improve the publication of the model but no results...
Can you help me this time?
Thanks
Hi,
today I've go ta new error when checking models into the repository:
Some errors occur during the update of the repository model.
Unexpected error while executing the following action:
Changing value of attribute Replicating of object Sub-Replication
The check in of the document has been cancelled.
Google doesn't provide even a single hit when searching for "Changing value of attribute Replicating of object Sub-Replication"
Any ideas what can cause this error ... and maybe how to get more detailed information about this error?

Hello,
is there any possibility to adjust the order of table symbol on the diagram by vbscript? I used scripting to create new table, to attach a new symbol to that table, but I haven`t found any way, how to put the table symbol under the symbol of other table. My new symbol should be partially overlaped by other table symbol.
In fact, I`m trying to find the Order - Send to backward function from the context menu of table symbol on the diagram.
Can someone help?
Thank you,
Ondre
Can you post steps (and excel structure requirements) that led to successfull import? Are there any obstacles particularly for mapping import?
Thank you,

I am not able to save a model as a model template. I am using v15.2 of PowerDesigner. In the general options, under Model Creation, Enable model template is checked. The default path is the PowerDesigner15 root folder. There is also no option to create a data model using a template (perhaps because none exist). Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Hi,
I am using PD 16.5. I have a problem with generating DDL for an auxiliary table. It appears in front of the CREATE DATABASE statement. That's not what I want. According to the manual it should be genrated at the end of the DDL because it is an Extended Object. That is also where I want it.
I tried to change the generation order in the DBMS file, but that is not possible for Extended Objects (again according to the manual).
Anyone a suggestion how to solve this. Or is this a bug?
regards

Hi,
just wondering is it possible to create (in the Extension file) a menu based on the User ID or even better the role association?
If not is it possible to create a menu based on the User Profile currently loaded?
I wan to have the possibility to define:
User A within a role AA can for example see a menu item Export, but the User B within a role AB can't see that menu item.
Is that possible?
If yes, how to do that? Using Criterions and some variables?

Rafal
Hello folks,
Is it possible put the sequence/procedure generation on the "Preview" tab of the properties table?
I verified the options in the "Show Generation Options" and the creation of the sequence/procedure is marked but the code didn't appeared. I tested on several DBMS like Oracle 11g, SQL Server 2012...
Thanks...

Hi,
I want to user the standard Windows environment variable %USERPROFILE% in PD.
How to do that, somehow it dosn't work for me ... I have tried to define it in the:
1. General Optios -> Variables as a new variable USERPROFILE
2. Use it in the Named Paths to reference f.e. extensions
Most probably the syntax I'm unsing is a wrong one ...
What's the syntax if I want to create a new variable and what's the syntax if I want to reuse one in the Named Paths .. f.e.
Name Path Comment
_ICONS is defined as %USERPROFILE%\BPM\8 Icons\
And I would assume, I can somehowe reuse the standard windows variables like USERPROFILE etc.?
Thanks,
Rafal
Hi everyone,
we use BPMN2.0 executable.
We try to connect a specific activity (task) in a swim lane diagram to a specific starting point in a number of related swim lane diagrams (26).
Pic.1: As you see, the BPM flow refers back to another sub process. (To make it more complicated, it refers back to 26 former sub processes.)
Pic. 2: All 26 related sub processes have a similar starting point in the middle of their BPM flow which are triggered by the execution box from pic. 1.
For ideas or suggestions we would be very grateful.
For usual links between tasks and processes we are using 'Call activities' set to 'reuse process'.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm wondering ... is it possible to inherit an Extended Attribute the same way standard attributes are inheritet?
Let's take this example.
I have defined some new Extended Attributes... onle of them is To Be Removed in Next Version. Now, I want this atribute to inherite same way as the standard attributes do when defining inheritance ...
In th example above, we can see "To Be Removed in Next Version" is set for two attributes in the CONTRACT entity, but not inheritet in the AFI_CONTRACT entity...
How to set-up an Extended Attribute in the way it get's inherited?
Thanks,
Rafal
