Hi, I have tried to follow the PIPA 5 tutorial but cannot drag and drop controls from the Workflow Form Editor Pallet onto an open xform. I can highlight the controls on the Pallet, but when I try to drag one the cursor changes to the prohibited symbol (circle with a slash). I tried using the downloaded sample files, but have the same problem. I have the Forms Editor Perspective selected. I must have missed something really basic...sorry to trouble you, but please help. I'm running this on Vista and everything else has worked so far. (BTW, I have opened the PIPA 5 tutorial on Linux, and it works fine.

Thanks in advance.
Chris

I had the same problem. Exactly the way you described and had it posted here "http://bpms.intalio.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,/func,view/catid,9/id,8018/#8018" but so far I had no answer.

If someone finds a solution, please post also on the other thread (indicated above).

Thank you

It's fixed now. I ran the uninstaller, then reinstalled from scratch. The cursor still changes to the prohibited symbol when a control is selected, but if I continue to move it over the open xform and drop there a new control does appear on the xform.

Could you please check the prerequesites to work with Intalio|BPMS Designer.


Thanks,

I was having a similar issue it seems. When dragging the .xform onto the designer pool (set as non-executible) it would not allow me to, and NOR would it throw an error.

I found the solution on the other post, which is to make sure you have set the view to the BPM Designer.

I think what is needed here is an exception catch - such as "not a valid action in this perspective" or better "please use the Designer" for this action.

my 2 cents.

:cheer:

We will work on providing more feedback when a drop operation is not possible.

Can you please indicate your OS ? I cannot reproduce your problem with Linux.

Thanks,

Antoine

BPM Designer is build 5.0.0

I am using Ubuntu Feisty

eclipse is using Sun's Java (not the built in open source version that comes via apt-get)

jdailey@ubuntu:~/intalio/eclipse$ java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)

ok, the problem might come from your JVM too.

Designer only runs on Java 5.

Thanks for the information,
