Artifact type exists but can't create instance [message #14539]

Fri, 01 May 2009 10:45

Eclipse User

I have created two new artifact types, "Model" and "Signal", from the
"NativeArtifact" and "Artifact" base types, by generating an XML table and
importing it using Import->OSEE Types.

They appear in the New Child menu in Define, in the Artifact Type tab of
Sky Walker, and in the database table osee.osee_artifact_type.

The relations for them also appear in the Relation Type tab of Sky Walker
and in the database table osee.osee_relation_type_link.

However, when I create an instance using New Child, I get asked for a name
and no error is produced but the new artifact does not appear in the tree.
It also does not appear in the database table osee.osee_artifact.

What am I doing wrong please?

I am not sure what could be the problem. Have you checked in the Error log
to see if a problem is being reported. If you find an exception please
post so I can follow up.

Thanks

There's nothing appearing in the .log files in the configuration
directories for either the application server or client. Is there anywhere
else that error logs are written please?

Can anyone see what I've done wrong in the XML below that was supposed to
add the new artifact "Signal" please?

The problem was that the Default Hierarchy relationship was not created
for the new artifact type. The issue was resolved by editing the database
table osee_valid_relations directly (naughty, I know!).

I thought that the relationship should be inherited though as Signal was
based off the Super Type 'Artifact'?

Mark,

Currently, when importing type data, it is necessary to import a directory
containing all the spreadsheets with relevant type data. For example,
since the Default Hierarchical relationship is defined in
/org.eclipse.osee.framework.skynet.core/support/OseeTypes_Pr ogramAndCommon.xml
you need that spreadsheet to be read as part of the import along your your
custom type definitions in order for the inheritance to work. This is
because the inheritance is at import time only. There are plans to
support true type inheritance in the database schema in the future.

Thanks,
Ryan
