Value properties and tagged values are not being sent/saved on the server
Closed this issue · 8 comments
I installed OpenMBEE on a server using Alfresco 4.2f. I tested the server using MagicDraw 17.0.5 with MDK installed. My test project initialized, and I managed to get most of my elements sent and saved on the server. I could even get the Document Views to show up. I did run into a particular problem : None of the Default Values of my value properties or my tagged values are being saved on the server. The value property itself is saved (i.e. I can see the value property in DocWeb), but I can't get it's default value to the server. Commiting the value (right click on the error in the Validation window) results in a message that it is "Sending ..." then "Successful." However, when I validate the model, the same error "[VALUE] model: not null, web: null" . The same thing is true for tagged values.
Any ideas why this is happening? Perhaps point me to a log file either on the server or on the MagicDraw side that will shed some light or clues as to what's happening?

You mean magicdraw 17.0.5 right...?
What kind of values are they? If they're element references, it could be the referenced elements were not found on the server.
there should also be a log what got sent and received in the magicdraw log (md.log or magicdraw.log)
the same error "[VALUE] model: not null, web: null"
Sounds eerily familiar :). This is the same stuff I have been fighting 2 months ago...

Probably yes - there is no such thing as MD v14.0.5. Only MDv17.0.x series had a 3-tier numbering scheme (due to some questionable upper management decisions :^) )

As far as I remember, it fails on simple values in the model - strings , reals, booleans. But maybe Andy has a different case.

Client side - MagicDraw log - is under /AppData/Local/.magicdraw/magicdraw.log (on Windows) or /.magicdraw/magicdraw.log (on Unixes).
There should be a fragment of JSON somewhere in there - the data that is being sent to server.

@dlamoris Yes - it's MagicDraw 17.0.5 - my mistake. I updated the posting to reflect this.
@dlamoris I'm seeing that the Default Value of value properties aren't being saved on the server. Here's an example - I have a block (let's call it 'test') in a package. In that block, I have a SysML Value Property called 'foo'. The Default Value of 'foo' is set to '20.5'. When I commit to OpenMBEE, the block 'test', and the value property 'foo' gets saved to the OpenMBEE server. To test, I can open DocWeb, and edit a View. In the edit dialog, I can click on "cf" and look for 'foo'. 'foo' shows up but no value is assigned to it. When I validate my model in MagicDraw, I get the "[VALUE] model: not null, web: null" error. When I commit the value, the info says it's sent successfully.
@tomasjkn I'll check magicdraw.log to see if I can glean anything that would help. Thanks.
@dlamoris You mentioned that you were fighting this 2 months ago? And it was failing on strings, reals and booleans? Are you still experiencing this? If not, do you remember what happened that fixed it?
Update:
Checked the log file and found an interesting message:
"Error! No element found for MMS_1423758197147_08587af3-60aa-41f1-8fd7-f025c7cc2f5e.\n[WARNING]: createOrUpdateModel deltas not posted properly\n"
So, what does it mean that "createOrUpdateModel deltas not posted properly", and how would I solve this?
