Answered: [Solved] Problem with connecting to HTTPS license server (curl_easy_perform - Couldn't resolve host name)

Wed, 20 Jan 2016 11:14:18 +0000

In case http/https switching doesn't work we introduced new configuration switches to enable proxy settings. Currently this settings is available only through registry keys / ini files.

To configure proxy set following values

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inventic s.r.o.\Skipper\cfg\system\proxy-server
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inventic s.r.o.\Skipper\cfg\system\proxy-port
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inventic s.r.o.\Skipper\cfg\system\proxy-login
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inventic s.r.o.\Skipper\cfg\system\proxy-pass

First serves to configure CURLOPT_PROXY, second to CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, last two to fill CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD (as UrlEncoded(login):UrlEncoded(pass)).

Alternatively, it's possible to use key proxy-login-pass instead of proxy-login and proxy-pass

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inventic s.r.o.\Skipper\cfg\system\proxy-login-pass

but in this case login and password have to be correctly UrlEncoded manually directly in this key.

Note: Undefined or empty values aren't passed to curl methods.

[Info] How to run Skipper on Mac OSX 10.8 and older

Sat, 07 Feb 2015 12:37:48 +0000

Starting with Skipper 3.0.2 we have to upgrade our build servers to OS X 10.9. (It's because of new Apple codesign v2 policy).

If you need to run Skipper on OS X 10.8 and older it's necessary to install some additional libraries which are shipped with 10.9+ but are missing on 10.8.

To do that, use brew with following command:

brew install xz

It's possible that based on your OS it will be necessary to install some additional libraries. The best and preferable way is to upgrade your OS at least to 10.9.

[Info] Template library

Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:21:06 +0000

Hello Everybody,

With the version 2.2.7 we have launched a new system for model element templates. Now you can define almost anything as a template, and if you find something that cannot be done like this, let us know.

How templates work is documented in the template guide and the template reference.

However this is heavy stuff and to ease your start with new templates, and provide with some real-world examples, we have prepared a predefined template library. If you miss some template there, or if you have some template that is really useful in your projects, share it with the community.

Answered: [Info] ORM Designer2 development status

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:22:56 +0000

"To use annotations to implement Java Hibernate suport."

This would be a real kicker! We are currently in the process of evaluating a good Java framework for developing web applications using Hibernate as the ORM framework. If we could just continue using ORM Designer 2 with Hibernate, that would be awesome.

Afaik there is no good visual modelling tool for Hibernate.

Answered: Help us decide what feature implement next

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:17:52 +0000

Hi guys!

I would like to maybe introduce a new feature that hasn't been discussed much. It's basically a rip of something they do in MySQL Workbench, but it would be a very cool feature for ORMDesigner to have: the implementation of multi-diagram support (am I missing this as an already implemented feature?).

I bring this up because working on an enterprise level application, there might be 80-100 tables (at least) to cover all the scenarios.. I'm up to 25 and I haven't even touched on most of my requirements. Anyways, the ability to break some of these areas down into smaller chunks helps to keep focus on particular ideas within the overall schema.... for example I have a 'config' table that has a FK in most every table in the database... I don't want to have to see 40 different relationships surrounding the table when I'm working on the e-commerce portion only.

The way MySQL Workbench does it lets me create a diagram with just the tables and relationships I want to see at that time... for the e-commerce example I can limit the display to the tables that are only related to the e-commerce system.

Forgive me if this is just a feature that I didn't notice yet. I do know that there is module/bundle support though, but that's not really what I'm talking about because so many of the tables in my system have relationships to entities outside of their bundle.

Fellow beta testers, your input here would be appreciated, too! :)

Thanks, Geoff
