Is there an update for the newer versions of Integration Studio?   I was able to figure it out again, but it looks like the inputs have been changing.

Hello Rebecca,

Nothing changed for .NET, and Java simply added the possibility to define the Java Home.

I'll update the original post to cover for that.

Hi, I'm trying to configure Integration Studio for Java/J2EE but a couple of problems ... 

1) the link for creating system environment variables results in the error "Payment required"
But I found another site that explained it to me.

2) skipping that part, the following error occurs after having installend ANT and Eclipse and trying to apply the configurtaion:

This is how my Eclipse installation directory looks like ...

By the way ... I had to choose which package of Eclipse to download ... I chose the first one, the Java EE version.

I deleted the (unpacked zip) installation of Eclipse, re-installed eclipse using the installer, and tried again to configure Integration Studio for J2EE / Oracle ... same result .., "Error copying Integration Plugin into Eclipse plugin directory".

Please help!

Hi Charley,

Can you try by running Integration Studio as administrator to see if it helps?

Also, in this last installation does it also have a "plugins" folder there?

João Rosado

Hi Joao, thnx for replying.

Just solved the problem myself ... I had to specify the full path to eclipse, including eclipse.exe, and also the full path to the ant.bat file ... my first tries were the path names without the filenames themselves. 

Working now, and successfully created my fist extension :-)

I have set everything up as said in the instruction but when I try to open the java code for editing, no project opens up in the eclipse, only eclipse shows up. I don't get any errors or anything and if I try to open the project directly from folder in eclipse, then after writing the code when I close the eclipse or publish the extension, all of the code that I have written gets deleted. Any Idea what could be causing this?

Note: I'm using Eclipse Neon and my Integration studio version is 9.1.6

Hi,

So from what I tested and here are some problems that can cause the "plugin" problems and how to fix them.
The differences depend on either: eclipse version, installation folder, what eclipse type installed or how it was installed (via installer or zip)

Cause 1: Eclipse is installed in the Program Files and integration Studio cannot install the plugin it needs
Symptoms: There is no error closing the preferences window, but eclipse opens without a project
Solution: Run Integration studio in Administrator Mode and change the eclipse path in the preferences window. Check if inside the eclipse folder there is a "\plugins\outsystems.integration.plugin\" directory created after that

Cause 2: Eclipse is configured to not use its own folder as Data Folder.
Symptoms: Either there is no "\plugins\" folder and Integration Studio gives an error
Solution: Create a "\plugins\" folder inside the eclipse directory, change the eclipse path in the preferences window. Check if inside the eclipse folder there is a "\plugins\outsystems.integration.plugin\" directory created after that

Regardless of what issue it was, if there is still no project inside eclipse after it opens, then go copy the "outsystems.integration.plugin" directory from "\plugins\" to "\dropins\"

Tell me if it any of these solutions works for you.

João Rosado

Hi,

Can any other IDE for .NET be used besides Visual Studio? I tried to use SharpDevelop put every time I apply the configurations this popup comes up:

My configurations are the following:

Thanks for the help.

Hi André,

[edited] Sorry, but it is not possible to include a stack's code (e.g. Java) in an extension and publish it in another platform installation's stack (e.g. .NET), due to an Integration Studio validation (e.g. Invalid Extension error)

If you are publishing a double-stack extension (Integration Studio > Extension properties > Application Server: Both) then you may be able to publish that extension yes, however the uninstalled stack will never be executed on that platform installation. This is a common case with double-stack extensions that are included in the platform (e.g. System Components) and others you may find in the Community Forge - only the respective stack code that matches the platform installation will actually be executed.

Hoped I clarified your question!

Regarding the IDE question, you can actually use any Visual Studio compatible IDE, but you won't be able to configure it in the preferences.

After compiling your extension once you can locate the folder that is created in the disk next to the .xif file and open it in your prefered IDE.

The important is that the .NET project files (.sln and .csproj) are still correct after using other IDE (thats why I said compatible IDE), as Integratoon Studio will use them to compile.

Same also applies to Java ...anyone is free to import the project manually in other IDEs like Intellij, the platform will use the Ant build.xml to compile, so as long that ia correct it will work. But for example in this case Intellij will not update the eclipse .project file ...so if other developer goes and tries to edit that extension in eclipse he may not have a correct eclipse project configuration.

So, use them at your own responsibility :)

My personal recommendation is to stick with the latest versions of the officially supported IDEs.

Regard,

Hi Ricardo,

What if I don't need Java because I am not writing Java extensions? Integration studio tells me that options are not correctly defined and asks me to setup up options for java environment. But I don't have cause I don't use and I don't want to install it.

In that case you need to set your extension to be ".NET Only".

You can do that by selecting the extension name and on the right pane you have the option to say it's for .net stack only

Hi, I'm using Integration Studio 9.1.301, with JDK 1.8.0_72. I created an empty extension and when I compile I got the following error. Can anyone please see what cause this is? (Original screenshot attached). Thanks.

Hi, while configuring i am getting the error..

Thanks

The objective is not for those to be necessary steps. If all goes well, the next revision (at least for 10.0) should work correctly without the workaround.

Regards,

João Rosado

Cool! With the current revision at least one step I had to do manually was to copy the plugin to the dropins folder.

Hello, 

I tried to publish my extension and it gives me error that there is no jar file found on the directory?

Can somebody help me pls?

Hi All,

Please do let me know what wrong i am doing here.

Hey Guys,

So I'm using the Service Studio version 10.0.717.0 and the Platform server 10.0.710.0, our projects only are in .Net architecture (VS 2017) on Windows 10. 

When I try to open an XIF, the Integration start and stores an error that calls feedback and close his window.

My Steps:

• Open Integration Studio across XIF was selected in Service Studio;
• Authenticate my user on Integration Studio;
• Click on the action that I want to explore;
• Click on Edit Souce Code .Net;
• Occurs an error and open it Feedback dialog
• When I check the Report, return the message access denied to "IntegrationStudio.exe.config"

Points that may considerate:

• My privileges on Windows isn't like administrator account;
• The configuration in Integration Studio on Options menu, only apply if I run as administrator, but not work fine if Service Studio is not running as administrator as well.
• In the menu Options: 
  • on General was set as Default Application Server Type: .Net;
  • J2EE: Java Home as jdk.1.8.0_161
  • .NET: the path of VS 2017 ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe") 
  • If I'm not runnig as administrator the Integration Studio loses the path of Visual Studio and don't apply, give an error as well.

When I always need use the Integration Studio with Service Studio, will be necessary run as administrator both?
I try to use the Visual Studio Code and didn't work, so now I use the Visual Studio 2017. There will be enable some feature for work with Visual Studio Code?

Why Integration Studio doesn't leaves me set the path of .Net Integrated Development Enviroment? if I'm not running as administrator.

Hi Marcel,

It is true that you need to run Integration Studio as administrator When you want to change the configuration. What you deactiveren sounds like a bug, but most developers I know don’t have it, because they are local admins. you can report the bug to OutSystems support via their website and for the time being run Integration Studioas administrator. 

Hi Guys!

I can't seem to edit the .NET source code it keeps on saying this:

I have not configured J2EE. Do I need to configure that too? It seems in the comments that there is no need but I keep on having this problem. How do I fix this?

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

If you want to build an extensions for both .net and Java, you need to configure both. If you are only building your extension for .net, you only need to configure the .net environment. 

Next to this configuration, you have to set your extension to be available for only .net instead of both (Java & .net). You can do this in the main screen on the details of your module. 

Hi Michael,

These settings are correct. If you stil get the error, you need to make call with OutSystems support, because it seems you hit a bug that needs to be identified. 

Hi, I am trying to configure .NET and I have downloaded Visual Studio 2017. However, whenever I attempt to apply change to the option, the system error pops up and shut down Integration Studio immediately, so I cannot make any changes even though I know what to change. Can anyone help me regarding this issue?

Hi Dol Hee Kim and Stefan Swanepoel,

First of all, I'm sorry you had this problem. We are analyzing and trying to reproduce it, I'll get back to you when we have more information.

Meanwhile, you can try something to see if it solves the problem: delete the file "%AppData%\Roaming\OutSystems\Integration Studio\IntegrationStudio.Preferences". Attention: this will clean your recently open extensions and environments list.

Hi There,

I am getting below issue, please help

Please please please answer what the Compare files with option is for, and what to specify?  The documentation has a circular trio of pages that try to explain it which fail miserably at providing clarity!

But what is it for?  That is not answered...

I never saw any documentation on it, but as far I can tell, this option allows you to compare the .net latest version with the template file - template here means the files automatically generated by the platform. 

If you go to the Resources tab on Integration Studio, you can right click on one of the .net files and do compare with template. 

It will open and compare the latest version with the template version, using the tool you selected in the configuration. You may test it with notepadd++, it opens both versions. Or you may use a real compare tool, such as Beyond Compare, which automatically tells you the differences.

The only use case I see for this is, if by mistake some of the platform code is deleted, and you want to revert it, otherwise the extension may not work. But, as I mention, I never had the need to used it in all my years of OutSystems.

Thanks to all of you guys, I'm transitioning from .Net to Outsystems platform and having lots of doubt for integration, this thread clear most of my doubt.
