Big Data Education Package Task 3 Error

We are a group of students working on the “Big Data package” and have several error messages in task 3. We have followed all the instructions given in the task description step by step and we have tried for hours to solve these errors ,that sometimes seem unreasonable. That’s why we decided to write in this forum, can anyone help us to solve the following errors or can anyone explain what might have caused them ?

1.error
In the monitor file “Data View”: When the program is restarted, the program can not longer use the “DataView Service Bundle”.
Additional error message: “Illegal to use the member access operator (.) on an untyped expression”


2.error
“Read Trigger does not exist” although ReadTrigger was already defined.

3.error
There is an error on action updateItem(integer sidIn) apama calls an unexpected token updateItem. We have no clue how this error is caused, since we are defining a method updateItem at this point.

At the moment of defining spawn updateItem there was a warning, too. Later on without changing anything on the code the warning just disappeared.

Can you provide some more information? What version of Apama are you running?

For error 1 - it sounds like the DataView bundle is not part of the project but it also sounds like it worked previously and now it does not. You can verify that it is part of the project by looking in the Project Explorer view under the Bundles node.

Or perhaps it is an injection problem: in the menu bar, select Run>Runtime Configurations. Select the project. Click the Components tab, select the correlator, then click Edit. Check the injection order (the UI for this depends on what version of Apama you are using). Make sure that the DataView service files are being injected.

If this does not help, I can forward your info to an Apama SME who can help you. Please let me know the Apama version you are using. It would also help if you sent me a zipped version of the Apama Studio project: melissa.spurr@softwareag.com

Best Regards,
Melissa

Thanks for your help, but we might to remember you that we have still the first error.

All the time we restart a workable projekt, it doesn’t works.

Could you check your APAMA Big Data Version for the same errors and change it to a workable version?

We can’t work efficient with such a buggy version.

Greetings,

Kai

Can you please send again a zipped Apama Studio project - containing the latest files that you are using when you get the error?

Please email to:

melissa.spurr@softwareag.com

Can you tell me where you got this Big Data Education package?

I am trying to determine who developed it as it seems your questions are application-specific.

Hello Melissa,

we found the Big Data Apama version in your university area.

Here is the link to the Big Data Education Package:

http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/communities/public/universities/BDEP/

On the right side, you can find the “Download”-Link and we found there the download of our apama version.

Sincerely,

Kai

Hello again,

Yes - I was able to find this last night. I was unable to reproduce the syntax error with the using statement.

Here is the response from the SME:


I opened up the attached project, there isn’t any syntax error anymore but the dataview table is empty, which means there isn’t any dataview instance added. Also, I noticed there is an error in the FileTransport.log:

2014-11-03 11:42:14.745 ERROR [52800] - RequestHandler: OpenFileForReading: RequestId = 2 generated Error: File does not exist: full-game

Your question about Task 4 is application-specific. I have sent a request for someone to help with it - but I have not heard back about that yet.

I’ll let you know when I do…

Thank you for the fast answer,

I think you have open the file with the BD Apama, please try to restart the same project again and then you should get the error messages too :wink:

If you need for task 4 our actually project version please tell us here.

Sincerely,

Kai

I opened it in Apama 5.1.
I am not sure what you mean by the BD Apama.

I mean the the unlicensed version in the download folder of the big data education package :wink:

We think the unlicensed version of APAMA could create this errors.

We can fix only the “using” or “can’t find” errors with creating a copy of the project. If we creae a copy of the actually project all errors disappear.

That’s very corious.

OK. It sounds like perhaps you have a version of Apama that shows this bug. I will notify the administrator of the BDEP.

Hello,
I think now you can check the same code with using the updated version of Apama i.e. 5.2.0 as we have just updated it on server.
http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/communities/protected/universities/student/BDEP/

With this updated version I hope it should work now. :slight_smile:

Best Regards,
Mohit.

Thank you we will test it with new version today :wink:

Hi Mohit,

the new apama version doesn’t works to or has the same “using” errors as the apama version 5.1. But this isn’t our main problem at the moment.

We have one big mistake in our monitor class of a soccer player, the create and update method for our dataset, the following errors occur:
"
014-11-13 18: 32: 54,892 WARN [7420] - com.apama.dataview.DataViewService_Impl_Dict [10] [WARN] onload () on_all_DataViewAddDefinition () - “running dennis yolk soft” - DataView name already exists.

The values werewolf Supplied: [“16”, “10634829297957177”, “27624”, “- 5732”, “32”, “4”, “trot”]
2014-1 "

We do not know how to fix this errors.

Another problem waht we have is in our data streams, the self-created variables are not sent out or a connection can’t established.

One last question would be, how do we can start form a certain timestamp, so that we can start at timestamp xy and not with the first timestamp.

We hope, somebody can help us.

(Mohit i will send you via Mail our project).

Hello Kai,

I will also look into the problem and try to reproduce the same errors mentioned by you. I will try to revert back as soon as I will get any solution detail regarding the problem.
