Hi Gavin, Issue get resolved .The cause of error was the Step id that was created using user system login name here in my case it was "vijaykumar.saini" this contain dot in name so XDE is considering this as an invalid string,perhaps this is bug in the XDE ,Because windows allow to create such user name but XDE using same windows user name to create STEP ID. Any way I also check XDE bundle with different user which don't contain dot in username it working fine. Thanks Gavin for your kind support...

I've just tested the bundled version of eclipse delivered from this website : XDE_SDK_1.0.372_-_win32.zip and it works as expected. I can create new XDE step items without any issues. The steps I followed were: - Unzip the bundle to a new directory - Run eclipse - Change to the XDE perspective - Create an XDE project - Create an XDE procedure in the XDE project - Drag/click steps from the pallete onto the XDE procedure My machine is Windows 7 64bit - Java 1.6.0_22 So the bundle seems fine, perhaps it is an environmental issue at your end.

So which version of Eclipse i should usewith XDE 1.0.372. and which is latest version of XDE i can use with eclipse Helios.Please provide latest link of bundled XDE SDK . Thanks n Regards Vijay

It sounds like you are trying to do things correctly.  That version of XDE is 5 years old now, perhaps it does not work with the latest eclipse. This eclipse version seems to match the XDE release date : [url=http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/]http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/[/url]

I am new to XDE SDK .so i just try to run helloworld procedure. I created new procedure.xde file .this file by default contain only two elements start and return .I want to add more element in default flow chart like declare ,if condition etc.I try this by using following ways : 1.By dragging element from Palette to procedure flow chart--> I got the exception as mentioned above post. 2.By selecting element in Palette and moving cursor with + sign and left click on procedure chart--> Nothing happen no error no addition of element. 3.By keeping cursor on connection arrow,list of icon of element displayed I select on of them--> Nothing happen no error no addition of element. I am using XDE SDK.1.0.372 downloaded from Cisco site it contain Eclipse RCP with XDE plugin. I don't have any idea about where logs are saved for this error.when trying above 3 ways eclipse console panel don't have any error message Please let me now proper way to add element in chart if any of above is not correct. Thanks n Regards Vijay

Hi Vijay, Do you have the error message (and stack) from the error log (its a seperate view)? Also what version of XDE are you using, and what version of eclipse? regards, Gavin

Hi David, Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately the engine is not currently available to download. This means you can run your procedures in the SDK but cannot deploy or integrate them into something like Tomcat. If in the future the engine is made available, I will send out an update. Regards, Stephen

Hi Stephen, to clarify my earlier post, I am looking for the XDE Engine download. I have the SDK already and it's great.

David Sandoval 2011-12-15T13:14:04Z David Sandoval http://developer.cisco.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=4896640 2011-12-15T13:12:36Z 2011-12-15T13:12:36Z

Hi Stephen, I have a similar question. I am looking to deploy a procedure for use in diagnostics, so I need a server running Tomcat, I assume, then add XDE to that? Or is XDE a self contained server? And, where can I download it? Many Thanks, David Sandoval

Hi Majid, Thanks for the feedback and sorry its taken a few days to get back to you. The XDE SDK has changed quite a but since the tutorials were originally recorded. A new tutorial will be released shortly which I think will answer all your questions. In particular, this will cover the use of our Regex Parsing Language (RPL). RPL removes the need to use Perl and provides a set of graphical tools for parsing device config. I'll send out an update when the tutorial has been published. Thanks, Stephen

Hello there,   Not sure if everything was setup properly or not. I tried to follow video tutorials and almost nothing was as I was expecting. I followed the following approach: 1. Installing the latest eclipse for RCP and RAP developers version 1.4.1.20110909-1818 2. Installing new software: XDE SDK Plugin 1.0.372 3. Trying to follow the second video tutorial:  4. First of all, PAL package not found. Where is it, there is no PAL.xpa anywhere in eclipse folder and subfolders 5. To overcome the problem, I installed showInterfaces package from the repository 6. Followed the instructions and applied all instructions to showInterface package instead of pal package 7. I got ready for running the procedure, however I faced the following problem: there was no appropriate option for initiating procedure arguments; i.e there was no "XDE procedure" option in Run configuration section. There are only: XDE function tests, XDE procedure Test, XDE/PAL function 8. To override this problem, I tried to enter the arguments manually within the xde, setting constant values "default" for the device ID, and e.g. "fa 0/0" for the interface. 9. I defined connection settings within the inventory view to connect to my router. tested the connectivity with device console. 10. Running my first xde: I receive the exception saying: Perl executable not found at C:\perl\bin\perl.exe (probably cannot interact with "default" device)   A general comment over all, there is a gap between video 1 and video 2. Is there any continuity between the videos?   Many thanks in advance for your listening. Looking forward to hearing from you.   thanks, Majid

Hi Isaac, Thanks for your interest. At present the XDE engine can only be used by the SDK and other Cisco products such as IP Solution Center. Third-party and partner integrations are not supported but are being considered for future releases. We will provide an update via CDN should this change. Regards, Stephen Leahy XDE dev team SPMABU NMTG Cisco

What XDE Engines exist? Is it possible to develop my own user interface and plug in the XDE engine?

[quote]Hi,   How can I change the password for access devices?, what is the syntax for inventory.properties file?.   Thanks[/quote] Hi Jose,   In the current CDN public release of XDE/PAL (1.0.284) the format is as follows   It's a standard Java properties file where each line has the following syntax:   <deviceID>-<attributeName>=<value>   The key inventory attributes to set for Telnet-based CLI access are the following:   {Java attribute name, Property file attribute name, Default Value}   {InventoryProperties.CLI_ENABLE_PASSWORD, "enablepassword", "cisco"} {InventoryProperties.CLI_LOGIN_PASSWORD, "loginpassword", "admin"} {InventoryProperties.CLI_LOGIN_USERNAME, "loginusername", "nouser"} {InventoryProperties.CLI_TRANSPORT, "transport", "telnet"} {InventoryProperties.CLI_PORT, "port", "23"} {InventoryProperties.CLI_ADDRESS, "address", ""} {InventoryProperties.SOFTWARE, "software", "IOS"}   Note that device ID is not the hostname, domain name or ip address, it is just an ID which you would use from XDE/PAL.   So for a device with ID "myRouter1"  you might have the following in your inventory.properties file   myRouter1-address=10.34.64.125 myRouter1-loginusername=josh myRouter1-loginpassword=josh123 myRouter1-enablepassword=josh123 myRouter1-software=IOS myRouter1-transport=telnet myRouter1-port=23   You can store details of multiple devices in the file.   In later releases of the SDK an XML-based file format is also supported and there is SDK support for editing the file, so watch this space.   Regards,   Josh Singer XDE/PAL dev team SPMABU NMTG Cisco
