Unable to checkout NWDI code with NWDS

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a problem with checking out NWDI DC component and java file.  When I tried to edit the java file, the above pop shows.  However, no activity is created when I edit the java file and the code changes are not reflected at deployment.  I have tried to create different workspaces but that do not help.  I am able to connect to the DTR and CBS.  Am I missing some configuration on NWDS?  Thank you very much.

if you are in latest nwds, i think it created a activity for you directly. just go to activity view to check it.

Thank you for your reply.  No activity is created in the DI perspective.  Also, the new code cannot be compiled and deployed to the Portal.

are you using right version of nwds?

Hi Jun,

I am using NWDS 7.3 SP07 as depicted below. 

[junwu]

have you ever checked out any code successfully?

are you sure this is the right version for your dev?

Hi Jun,

I am able to checkout BPM task and component.  I am also able to checkout view component.  The problem only occur when I try to edit the source (.java) file.

My sources are synched to the latest version on the right track.

the popup is normal, nothing wrong.

The popup is not the issue.  The issue is that no activity is created when source file (.java) are modified and the modified source code cannot be deployed to the development server.

Hi Subhankar,

if you have an activity which hasn't been yet checked in, then no additional activity gets created. If you check in that activity and start altering a .java file, then a new activity has to be created (this has to happen any time you see that popup you attached at your initial post). This is how it shall normally work I have to add. If you switch on the activity creation prompt (in NWDS preferences -- Window -- Development Infrastructure -- Component Build Server) then no popup comes for activity creation, but a new activity with name "default" will be created you can see in the "Open activities" view (NWDS -- Window -- Show View -- Open Activites).

Are you sure that the activity is not there in the "Open activities" view ?

What can you see of your activities if you do an activity search on the DTR  (http://<yourhost>:<yourport>/dtr/system-tools/reports/ActivityQuery) ? Do this query for dev/inactive workspace. If an activity was created, then it should be visible there with status "open".

If this is not the case then this might be an NWDS bug as well. Check the ".log" file in the ".metadata" folder of your "<nwds workspace>" (not in "<nwds workspace>.jdi" folder).

You can also try to reproduce it with another NWDS you can get from here:

I hope this helps.
