CMDB plugin for Archi 2.6

Old Versions
#1

Has anyone tested the CMDB plugin for Archi version 2.6?

#2

Hi,

I'm trying to get this working... but I find some problems...

 

I downloaded and set up

archie 2.6

(windows zip version)

CMDBuild 2.16

Plugin 1.0.1

 

I followed instructions as described here

(sorry if I didn't de-googlized... :) )

 

Class loading in CMDBuild went well (I can see new archimate tree in the web application...)

But I'm unable to find this folder: {HOME}/uk.ac.bolton/Archi and the files it should contain

 

Specifically I found no instance of cmdbf.xml anywhere (I did a search also, to be sure...)

whereas archi2cmdbuild.atl and cmdbuild2archi.atl are present within a jar file: archimate-cmdbuild-plugin-1.0.1.jar\model\

 

Thus, at the moment, I'm unable to proceed fourther in importing/exporting from CMDBuild...

 

My suspect is, as Archie 2.6 should leverage Eclipse 3.8 instead of 3.2 (in Archi 2.5), it could be some issue with plugins (need to build a proper version?)

but I could be wrong....

 

BTW:

in the pdf there is no instructions how to trigger import/export... any suggestion?

 

Best Regards,

Leonardo

Essendo sufficientemente articolati, se non li avesse già visti le suggerirei come prima cosa di dare un'occhiata ai più recenti thread sullo stesso argomento:

Hi,

thanks for the hints I already checked them, but I have no problem with class import in CMDBuild (first thread) and I have not a Mac (as Finder is a big indicator we're speaking about the iOS):

"You need to modify the cmdbf.xml file in your Archi install to point to your server.  It is preconfigured to point to localhost.
 
If you go to Finder->Go (hold down alt)->Library->Application Support->uk.ac.bolton->Archi
 
You will find the file in there.  Modify the file to point to your server and restart Archi.
"

So my questions remain the same...
where should  the cmdbf.xml file be located under Windows?

 

I see the import is triggered via an EMF compare...

I infer I must create a model and then compare it to something to start the import from CMDBuild.. Is this correct?

About the export to CMDBuild, should I do the same?

What if this is a first draft ot the model (it does not exist in CMDBuild)?

 

I also understand this question should be better adressed to the developers of the plugin, not to CMDBuild/Tecnoteca... at the end this is not a CMBDuild issue :),

but sorry.. .this is the only forum available for this... :D

 

Best Regards,

Leonardo

 

PS as this is th English forum, not the Italian one, IMHO it should be better answer in English, otherwise someone could not understand the answers... ;)

Hi,

currently the plugin does not work with Archi 2.6 due to packages rename: in the next weeks I'll release a new updated version for Archi 2.6.
 
The position of cmdbf.xml is architecture dependent:
 
windows -> @user.home/Application Data/uk.ac.bolton/Archi
linux -> @user.home/uk.ac.bolton/Archi
mac -> @user.home/Library/Application Support/uk.ac.bolton/Archi

Hi Luca,

thanks in advance for the work!!!

Looking forward testing it!

I

 suspected something similar... instructions are straightforward... so... strange it didn't work...

 

I looked in the path you sugested about the cmdbf.xml file...

I found C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\uk.ac.bolton\Archi (I'm using Win7 Entrerprise)  but no trace of the file...

I think I wait for your updated package before continuing looking for that file... :D

 

Best Regards,

Leonardo

Hi Leonardo,
the file cmdbf.xml is created by my plugin the first time it's run, but the current version is incompatibile with Archi 2.6 due to package rename, and probably crashes before the creation of the file...

Hi Leonardo,

I released, about 2 months ago, an updated version of the plugin compatible with Archi 2.6+. In the next weeks, after the release of CMDBuild 2.2, I'll release a new version of the plugin.

Hi Luca,

great!

I try this as soon as possible as well as the next one...

 

Is there any way to be informed of these releases (like a mailing list)?

 

Best Regards,

Leonardo

Hi Leonardo,

I have similar problems; I found archi2cmdbuild.atl and cmdbuild2archi.atl in AppData folder con my user home ({home}/AppData/Roaming/Archi.

Another trouble is that noe the repository side is unavailable and I don't have archimate-cmdbuild-plugin-1.0.1.jar file.

I suppose you have it; can you pass it to me?
