Problem connecting to Oracle database
Hello,
,
in Powerdesigner 16.5 i created a PDM. Now i want to connect to our Oracle 11 database to set up the database with the tables etc. However, i've tried connecting to Oracle but each time powerdesigner gives me an error.
Through ODBC i get following error: "The oracle Oracle client and network components are not found..."
Through native connection i get following error: "Connection test failed", while i was assured by other people the settings are fine.
I really would be grateful if someone could put me in the right direction. Where to look or what tools i can use to further find out what problem is causing this. On the same machine i can connect to the Oracle database without any issues using other tool like PL/SQL developer.
Many thanks,
Udo Hettema

PowerDesigner - editions and licenses available?
Hello,
last days, I faced this problem couple times. What is the current list of PD editions available for purchase? Does the Portal Composer license exist or it is not needed anymore?
All I found in PD (16.5 SP05) documentation is mentioning named user licenses:
- PD_EAR - PowerDesigner EnterpriseArchitect with Repository
- PD_IAR - PowerDesigner InformationArchitect with Repository
- PD_DMR - PowerDesigner DataModeler with Repository
- PD_DM - PowerDesigner DataModeler
- PD_WBPM - PowerDesigner Web BPM
Is Portal composer license (the ability to edit comments, etc.) part of one of these? I installed PD and repository in trial model and Portal Composer functionality was working. I put PowerDesigner DataArchitect Enteprise license for version 16.5 and it is working again. Can somebody please put here a CURRENT list of available editions and licensing types (Floating vs. standalone/named)? How about DataArchitect vs. DataModeler editions? I am still able to generate DataArchitect license for PD 16.5 (including CDM).
Is there a list of PD components used in license files with their description? So I can better understand directly from the license file, which functionalities are currently available for the customer? For example:
PD_SAP component is needed for: SAP Business Suite import, SAP Business Objects Universe generation and reverse engineering, etc.
PD_SHELLW componenet is needed for: ...
etc.
I would really appreciate if someone can clarify my confusion about this.
Thank you,

Trial Evaluation missing things
Hi all,
I am evaluating PowerDesigner using the 15 day trial download. Unfortunately I'm having problems with missing toolbar buttons and menu options. I'm not sure if these are missing due to the context I'm in, or the fact I am using a trial version. What I have managed to do so far has impressed me, but obviously I'm greatly hampered by these things.
To give an example; when I enter PowerDesigner I can choose to create a Physical Data Model. This shows up in the Object Browser as expected. However, the toolbars above are completely blank. They are there, and appear to have invisible buttons on them, with no text or icons. Clicking on most accomplishes nothing, but then I can't know what each one is supposed to do.
Equally, the menus appear to be mostly empty. The File menu, for instance only has a single entry for "New Model". The Edit menu has a single "Undo" that is disabled. The Tools menu has a single "Complete Links" and nothing else.
Is this normal behaviour? Am I failing to do something? Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Downloadin PD 16.5 SP2
I'm looking forward to downloading PD 16.5 SP2, which includes the 64-bit version of PD, but why-oh-why have they combined the 32-bit and 64-bit versions into one huge (2,925,384,014 bytes) ZIP file? I'm now on my third attempt to download it. My first two attempts were (only!) 1,829,605 KB and 1,843,062 KB. We don't all have access to super-fast broadband. 
Am I the only one having problems downloading it?

Performance issue with elaborate partition definition
Has anyone noticed a dramatic performance issue when a complex partition strategy is defined against an Oracle table? I am running PowerDesigner 16.5. I have a few tables that have monthly (12 months for 3 years right now) partitions and system code (9 systems) subpartitions. When I open the property window for these tables, it takes 2 or 3 minutes to respond. And clicking among the tabs in the property window also takes 2 to 3 minutes to respond. All other tables with more simplified partition strategy all open normally.

Power Designer and Solution Manager
Hi,
I attended a Solution Manager 7.2 webinar, and now I have some questions about Power Designer's capabilities. Per the diagram below, it talks of a Business Portal that is under the Power Designer capabilities. Can someone point me to documentation that talks about this Business Portal capability?
Thanks.

Modify Database - Adding DML Scripts
Hi friends!
I would like to present the next case to get some ideas on how implement this.
CASE:
I have a PDM model that is used to generate scripts to change database of a system. We create, alter e populate tables (and other objects) using this model and deliver scripts to change the database with the new version of the system.
Evolution of the System:
System version A
Database script Version 1:
CREATE TABLE a (...)
INSERT INTO a VALUES (1,1);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (1,2);
System version B
Database script Version 2:
CREATE TABLE b (...)
INSERT INTO b VALUES (a,a);
INSERT INTO b VALUES (a,b);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (1,3); -- !!!
Questions:
How can I insert the new script to insert values in "a" (!!!) and generate DDL script using "Database\Modify Database" with all the others changes.
Is there a way to move this script do insert values in "a" at the end of the file?
Problems:
If I put the script at the Script\End tab of Table Properties on Version 1, the Version 2 will not have the INSERT script after run "Database\Modify Database".
Thanks in advance!

Problem with Alter Script generation
I recently upgraded from Powerdesigner 16.0 to 16.5 and since then the generation of alter scripts for the latest changes to the data model are not running correctly. A change to a "code" table that is referenced by many other tables fails (MS SQL Server 2008) because of the existence of a Foreign Key reference. The tool use to generate these scripts correctly, i.e. they dropped all foreign key references and then altered the table and then recreated the foreign keys. Not sure what has happened after the upgrade. Does anyone else know what might have changed.
I hope I have the correct forum, this is my first post under SAP (use to use Sybase often enough but the tool hasn't given me any trouble in a very long time). I'll probably open a support case Monday, as this issue has only been noticed for the first time this last week but is a serious issue. Still hoping it might be something simple that others already know.
thanks,
James K.

PDM Check IN Error
Hello,
the following error prevents the check in of a PDM into the repository:
Unexpected error while executing the following action:
Changing value of attribute Modification Date of object Target model reference
The check in of the document has been cancelled.
I'm not sure what that means at all? What excatly is meant by "object Target model reference"?
For the time being I'm the only user using check in for that model, means, the model didn't change in the repository since I checked it out. There are only few changes to the local model, some datatype changes, attribute deletes etc. The model is rather small (about 30 tables).
This happens again and again. I resolve the situation fiddling around with the model (copy, check aout again, override, ...) but have no repeatable approach to fix it.
Thanks for any hints,
Chris Werner
p.s.: Using PD 16.5.0.3982
p.p.s: Maybe a screenshot of the check in dialog provides some further information

Display preference doesn't work as intended
I have created a model extension and stereotypes with custom shapes to apply to tables for different subject areas. However, these settings override any changes I want to make in display settings (inconsistently) in the individual diagrams.
I have turned on and off 'Apply contents to symbols' and 'Allow users to make changes' in the extension (in many different combinations) but something seems to be overriding the stereotype custom symbols as well as specific diagram display settings. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.
For a simple example, I have turned off the 'underline' of a PK column in just about every place I can find but it always gets reset to Ariel, underline. Where is this being set? It is not in the stereotype custom symbol or in the diagram settings. I assume there is some hierarchy of control that I don't understand...
Thanks for any help!!

PowerDesigner 15.3 & 16.1 - Will it work with Windows 10?
Hi PowerDesigner Team,
I just got off the phone with the State of Idaho and they currently carry a few licenses for PD 15.3 and 16.1 and have just recently upgraded to Windows 10. Will both of these versions work just fine or do they need to upgrade to 16.5?
Looking forward to hear from you!
All the best,

Class Diagram Attributes - data types
Hi,
If I create a new Attribute for a Class in a UML Class Diagram in PowerDesigner, I can define a Data Type in both the General and Detail tabs of the Attribute properties.
The definition (from the PD help) of a Data Type in the General tab is "Set of instances sharing the same operations, abstract attributes, relationships, and semantics."
The definition of a Data Type in the Detail tab is "Specifies a persistent data type used in the generation of a persistent model, either CDM or PDM. The persistent data type is defined from default PowerDesigner conceptual data types."
The list of allowable data types for the two tabs is different.
Can somebody explain the differences between these two data types? I am assuming if generate a PDM from my OOM, I would need to set the data type at the Detail level to get something meaningful when generating some DDL, correct? I don't really understand the definition above of the data type at the General level.
Thanks,
Antony

Powerdesigner joins in diagram
I have a lot of tables in my design and therefore many joins between them.
I try and ensure they don't cross each other too much (in fact I only have 3 lines crossing so far) so it easy to follow the links.
Unfortunately when adding an additional join/line PowerDesigner has a tendency to move all the lines connected to the object I'm connecting.
Is there someway to lock the lines in place so they stop getting moved around so badly.
Also PowerDesigner itself will sometimes put 2 90degree angles in a line - but I can't work out how to do it myself.
Is there a way I can create more circuitous lines rather than a direct line ?
Thanks

PD16.5 Generating Oracle PDM -> Hive PDM & Conditional Datatype Conversion
Hi Folks,
I have been searching for a way of changing certain datatypes when generating a new Hive PDM (Hive dbms Definition) from an existing Oracle PDM.
I have added various conversions in the HIVE10::Script\DataType\AmcdDataType definition file, example below:
| Internal | Physical Model |
|---|---|
| N%s,%p | decimal(%s,%p) |
| VA%n | varchar(%n) |
But what I am actually tying to do is to conditionally change the type/size of datatypes when generating a new Hive PDM from an existing Oracle PDM; See below.
Oracle nunber(1 to 9) to Hive int datatype
Oracle number(10 to 19) to Hive bigint datatype.
Oracle number(20 +) to Hive decimal.
Oracle number(10,2) to Hive decimal(10,2)
I could just do it manually through the "List of Columns" and block changes, but I would have to do this exercise every time I generate a new PDM, that requires this formatting.
Has anybody done the type of conditional formatting before, or any pointers?
many thanks

Exadata
Exadata is not listed as certified for the PowerDesigner Repository. Has anyone tried it successfully or unsuccessfully? Is exadata a platform that might be considered for certification in the future?
