Brent,
First thing to do is to look in the Release Notes and make sure that Forte
4.0 is supported in the version of Rose that you are running. If it is then
take a look at this Solution:
/////
QUESTION:
How to make the Forte for Java link appear/work in Rational Rose after a new
installation.
Possible problems:
1. The Rose Forte Link has not been installed in Rose after a Rational
Rose/Suite Enterprise 2001A installation although Forte for Java was
installed before.
2. When going to tools/Java-J2EE/Project Specification/code Generation Tab,
the "Forte For Java" option for IDE is missing.
3. The "Forte For Java" option for IDE is present but when trying to
generate, reverse engineer code, it times out.
TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS:
If it is not there, here is what you can do:
STEP 1: Copy/Extract the files onto the right location
1. Go to the Rational Suite Installation Disc and in Folder "cab" look for
the file called:
RoseForteLinkFiles.cab.
It contains the following files:
a. rtfortereceiver.dll which should be extracted to the "bin"
directory of your Forte
installation
b. rfortelink.jar which should be extracted to the "modules"
directory of your Forte installation
c. RForteLinkStartup.class which should be extract to
the"system\startup" directory of your Forte installation
d. rosefortelink.keys which should be extracted to the
"system\shortcuts" directory of your Forte
installation
2. Go to back to the Rational Suite Installation Disc and in Folder "cab"
look for file RoseJavaIDELinkCommonFiles.cab.
It contains an executable called rjavarelay.exe which needs to be
extracted/copied into rational/rose/java/rjavarelay directory.
(If the rjavarelay directory does not exist, create it)
(if the executable already exist, do not change it)
STEP 2: Checking/Adding the IDE information in the registry:
(NB: Do not forget to change the drive letter mapping to your Forte
installation
We use here "J:\forte4j" as example).
1. Check your registry for HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\SOFTWARE\Rational
Software\Rose\ AddIns\Java\idelink\
You should get a key called: "forteinfo" under idelink which has the
following string values:
"InstallPath"="J:\forte4j"
"Executable"="runidew.exe"
"Installed"="Yes"
2. If it is not there, create it as followed:
Add under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rational
Software\Rose\AddIns\Java the following key: "idelink"
Add under idelink the key called "forteinfo"
Add under "forteinfo" the following string values:
value=InstallPath with data =J:\forte4j
value=Executable with data=runidew.exe
value=Installed" with data=Yes
If you wish you can copy an paste the following in notepad and save the file
using
a .reg extension. You will just have to merge it to automatically add the
needed key
in the registry.
****************************************************************************
*****
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rational
Software\Rose\AddIns\Java\idelink\forteinfo]
"InstallPath"="J:\\forte4j"
"Executable"="runidew.exe"
"Installed"="Yes"
****************************************************************************
*******
STEP 3: Registration of the dll
Go to start/run and type regsvr32 "J:\forte4j\bin\rtfortereceiver.dll"
(NB: you can drag and drop the dll as well onto the "run field").
You can open a MS-DOS prompt and go to the forte4j\bin directory (e.g.:
J:\forte4j\bin) and type the following command: regsvr32
rtfortereceiver.dll
You also need to register the rjavarelay.exe. From a MS-DOS prompt go to
the rjavarelay directory and type: rjavarelay.exe /regserver
STEP 4:
The system path environment variable should contain the location of
'rtfortereceiver.dll',
for example: J:\forte4j\bin.
If you have not specified the path to the forte4j\bin installation directory
in your environment variables, you might get the following error:
"java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no RForteReceiver in java.library.path."
STEP 5: Reboot
You may have to reboot your machine
