Cant generate EADoc for models in mySQL repository

[eadocX Support]

I’m as baffled as you.
I will add another fix, to change the table name to lower-case for mySQL, as my local mySQL implementation doesn’t seem to care whether its upper- or loer-case. This is all very odd, as eaDocX submits this SQL to EA, who sends it right off to the DBMS. eadocX uses the same style of SQL – upper-case table names – for all the direct-to-DBMS calls, so it’s surprising that just this one to t_objectproperties causes problems.

[rick sipin]

Thanks! I’m sure the issue is in the bowels of the ODBC driver. Having worked with a number of those over the years, there’s just some which are more ‘flaky’ than others. I suspect that this fix will be welcomed by a number of MySQL users. For anyone interested, the versions I listed in the first post on this thread have been really stable for us in both EA and eaDocX. We have quite a large corporate model repository with over 10,000 object in it.

[eadocX Support]

OK Rick – done that. It’s on the website as 3.3.10.5. See if that does the trick.

[rick sipin]

OK, well that new build didn’t work. The tablename isn’t being completely reported in the error dialog – same add attribute operation as noted before – t_objectproperties shows up in the error dialog as Table ‘myschema.T_OBJECT’ doesn’t exist. Should note that the 3.3.10.5 build shows as a trial vs. a complete install like the 10.4 build did.

Want to give it another shot?

[Raelene Rushing]

Attached is a sample file where we were getting Tobject table error….sorry for the delay…

[eadocX Support]

Ah – thats makes more sense: it’s looking for T_OBJECT in a DB which contains only t_object, so it’s not just the t_objectproperties table which needs to be lower-case – it’s all of them.
This is a much more disruptive change: I need to change ALL the places where I issue direct SQL, to have lower-case table names, which is a load of calls, all of which need to be regression tested, and some of them only get used in some obscure situations.
As I can’t reproduce this on a local mySQL DBMS, I can’t then test it for you.
Do you think it’s become case-sensitive due to being implemented on a remote Linux machine? Have you tried with a local Windows mySQL?
Is this the kind of thing which Linux machines tend to do?
Any chance of you trying a schema change, to make a couple of tables upper-case, and check that EA doesn’t mind?

[rick sipin]

I can do each of those, it’ll just take some time. As our repository has over 10K objects in it, I’ll have to do it on another instance, and involve our support staff. I’ll see if I can get different behavior on a windows instance. I’ll run some tests and get back to you on what we find.

Thanks again for the excellent responses. Hopefully we’ll track this down to a path that works for us. I’ll stick with the 3.3.10.4 build as it at least fixes the mixed case table name, which probably would remain an issue.

Thanks Rick – I’ve backed-out v3.3.10.5, so current version is still 3.3.10.4

[Raelene Rushing]

sorry…renamed. from .xml to .txt…so I can upload

[rick sipin]

So here’s the result of a test that I ran. Again, here’s the versions we’re running which we’ve had decent luck with most eaDocX features using a MySQL repository:
MySQL 5.0.77 redhat-linux-gnu(x86_64)
MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver
eaDocX 3.3.10.2 Professional Edition (updated recently to 3.3.10.4)
EA Version 10.0.1004

We’re running win7 – 32 bit clients and a few XP clients.

I had our MySQL repository cloned, and renamed all of the tables, and updated the tablenames in the usystables table to all be uppercase (i.e. T_OBJECT). Unfortunately, something in EA immediately took issue to this, and I could not open the repository, and was getting all sorts of errors where EA is expecting (through SQL pass-through I’m sure) lower case table names. At this point, I may try adjusting just the few places where we’re seeing eaDocX operation raise an error because of the expectation of an uppercase table name (as I mentioned in earlier post), but we may end up moving from mySql anyway. If you want most of the documentation features and EA to work using a MySQL repository, I’d still recommend the configuration we’ve had running for about 3 years now.

Just ran into the same problem running MySQL 5.5.27 on a Linux server.

Any news on this?

Sorry about this. Our plan is to fix in v3.4, which should have a beta available in a couple of weeks. Sorry for the delay, be we’re now also regression testing with EA V11 as well….
