EPF Authoring - Views, Publishing [message #3330]

I've tried and failed to create a Method Plug-In and Method Configuration
and to publish it. I followed the procedure in the tutorials. When I try
to publish, I get a notification that my selected configuration does not
contain a valid view.

I don't understand Views, so I don't know what might be wrong or how to
try to fix it. The tutorial and the Composer help aren't giving me any
enlightenment. Where else can I look?

TIA ...

Creating a view and assigning it to your configuration is explained in the
Tutorial "Exercise 3: Create a customized configuration" in "Publishing and
Exporting". Prerequisite is that you completed Exercise 2. Follow Step 10
in Ex 3 to assign a view.

I can understand that the tutorials are a bit hard to follow at the moment,
because they assume RUP content and not BUP. We filed a bugzilla to fix
this.

Thanks and best regards,

Thanks for pointing me directly to it.

But, I disagree that this it "explained" in the tutorial. There's
sufficient 'how' but not enough 'why'. And when I return to trying to
document our methodology, I'm predict that I'm going to find myself in the
same place ... with an invalid View and no clue as to what's wrong with
it.

So, where else can I look for information on Views? And, just because I
learn better from diagrams, is there somewhere I can look at the class
diagram for the EPF Composer?

Thanks ...

I need to still clean up the meta-model specification and remove all IBM
specific references before I can place it into the project's CVS repository.
In the mean-time you find some diagrams in the base_concepts plug-in of the
donated content. Get the published site from here
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technolo gy/epf/bup_20060209.zip
and check out Organizational Concepts page in Getting Started.

The basic idea is that any category defined in your RMC plug-ins can be
declared to become a view in the published web site. For example, you
define a custom category that lists all you favorite task and guidance
pages. By selecting it as a view in your configuration the RMC web
publisher will make it a tab (i.e. view) in the tree browser of the
published site. Check out the BUP configuration in the EPF tool itself.
You find there that "Getting Started" and "Team" have been selected as
views. Go ahead and find these two in the bup plug-in under custom
categories --> beaco_views and examine how they have been defined as well as
how the tree browser is defined as nested categories.

Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.
