GEL error

  • 1.  GEL error

    Posted May 15, 2012 09:43 AM
    Good day.

    I've installed GEL client, but when I try to exec or validate script I get an exception:

    Why?

    Error unmarshalling config file: properties.xml
    think that that error is raised when you run GEL from the command line and you don't have all the "config files" (from the application) available to your command line GEL call.

    The "Why Hello World is useful" document in the zip file attached to the FAQ thread talks about/solves this issue - its just a matter of copying some files from your APP server to the local directories I recall.

    Sadly, this didn't help.

    I've replaced the 'lib' folder from thirteen version with a 'lib' folder from twelve version.

    OK, you are perhaps experiencing something different to THIS THREAD then when that suggestion did "fix" it. :unsure:

    EDIT : perhaps I'm reading that other thread wrong then; but I have got GEL working OK in v13 and all I can recall doing is copying a bunch "properties" files to my local GEL installed file system? :wacko:

    I thought that 'properties.xml' is the solution.

    First I've copied only 'properties.xml' file, then entire '.setup' folder, but GEL as yet raises an exception.

    Anyway your documents is very useful, thanks :)
    I'm trying to find out the 'normal' way to make GEL work.

    There is a another question. What table is responsible for summary tasks? In other words, how to know the 'nesting' level of the task, the 'parent' task for particular task via NSQL-queries?

    That information is just in the PRTASK table ; there are a PRWBSLEVEL and PRWBSSEQUENCE numbers.... the parent task will be a task that is a higher task (in sequence) with a lower level.

    A summary task will be a task that the next task (in sequence order) is of a higher level.

    The nesting depth is just the level.

    etc

    There is another dimension to that
    PRISTASK has to be 0 for summary level items.

    Most of the time PRISTASK and PRWBSLEVEL go hand in hand, but with some fancy intendation at certain places (or editing the project XOG read out) you can create WBS structures that do not exactly go by the book.
    There is also WBS_NNBSEQ which might be useful.

    I had the same problem with V13. Instead of copying the whole lib directory, I copied over union.jar from V12 to workaround the problem. I also tried copying over .setup directory from NSA server, it didn't help.
    Thanks for this greate post.

    CLRT-66436 (S2) - V13 GEL command included with the XOG client download no longer works as it requires a full Clarity installation in order to work.

    Synopsis:
    Something changed in v13 with respect to using GEL from the xogclient.zip. It now throws exceptions about not being able to unmarshal the properties.xml file. It will only work when run from the "bin" directory under a full v13 Clarity installation.

    Test with this script:

    <gel:script
    xmlns:core="jelly:core"
    xmlns:gel="jelly:com.niku.union.gel.GELTagLibrary">

    <gel:out>testing</gel:out>

    </gel:script>

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Download the xogclient.zip that comes with Clarity 13.0.0.7005.
    2. Unzip the file.
    3. Create a text file with the GEL script listed above called test.txt.
    4. Run: gel.bat test.txt.

    Expected: A single line of the output appears with "testing" in the output.

    Actual: An exception is thrown: Caused by: com.niku.union.config.ConfigurationException: Error unmarshalling config file: properties.xml.

     

    thank you.

    Hi,

     

    We have the same problem ("error unmarshalling properties.xml"). I understand that the solution is to copy files from the Clarity server to the local GEL folder.

    Does someone know more precisely which files to copy, and where ?

    Thanks

    Stephane

    Hi Stephanie,

     

    The FAQ they are talking about is now at the following link:

     

    https://communities.ca.com/message/2297925#2297925

     

    If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will find gel.zip which contains the Why Hello World is useful doc that they are talking about as well as a couple of other useful docs on gel.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Hello,

     

    I finally solved my GEL problems, by following these steps :

    - create a config folder under XOG, at the same level as "bin"

    - copy properties.xml from our Clarity server (

    /opt/clarity/13.3.0/config/properties.xml)  in this folder

     

    I just needed this file, not the two others. Copying the files in

    .setup\templates\config, as you propsed and as the GEL FAQ tells to do,

    did not work for me (i'm under windows XP, maybe that's the reason)

     

    Thanks for your help,
