Missing AFM Palette entries

[robert_kratschmann]

HANA Express Edition 2.0 SPS02, Studion 2.3.27 running on Eclipse Neon:

The Palette of AFM contains only an entry for "Checking Database...":

Choosing "Refresh" of "Checking Database..." returns

An internal error occurred during: "Refresh Palette".
java.lang.NullPointerException

Many thanks

Hi Jeff,

No, until now I found no solution/workaround.

Now I tried to activate the Autoarima_01.hdbflowgraph where I got the message:

-------------------------

Activation ID: 25 (Repository: Activation failed for at least one object;At least one runtime reported an error during activation. Please see CheckResults for details)

"AFL/Autoarima_01.hdbflowgraph": validation error: Target schema field in the flowgraph properties cannot be empty

-------------------------
Filling the Target schema field let now activate the Autoarima_01.hdbflowgraph.

Now I have the point "General" in the "Palette" containing only "Aggregation", "Filter", "Join", "Sort", "Union", and "Procedure". I see nothing about "AFL Function" nor "Predictive Analysis Library" and "Business Function Library" entries.

Refreshing the "Palette" leads into

An internal error occurred during: "Refresh Palette":
java.lang.NullPointerException

Hey Guys, I'm having the same problem here. Empty palette showing up when creating a flowgraph. I'm using Eclipse Neon 3 with Studio 2.3.27 plugin. I've checked the roles and I have the AFLBFL and AFLPAL EXECUTE + MODELING + AFLPM_CREATOR_ERASER_EXECUTE roles.

Any clues?

Cheers,

Christian.

I've got the same issues too. Any Idea?

With HANA 2.0, I would suggest using WebIDE for SAP HANA to develop such work flow chart instead of HANA Studio.

Check out this Youtube Video:

I've got the same issues too. There is no pallete / functions on the right side of the flowgraph. PAL functions are working when i manually use them via SQLScript. Any Idea?

@Robert - you need to upgrade/update your HANA Studio to the latest version (2.3.27 or later) to get 'Palette' view

[anton_kuznetsov4]

Hi Chris!

Robert already have 2.3.27 as he mentioned in first post. I have same version too (latest for today) and same bug too.

Pallete view is present, but it's empty.

I've got the same version of Studio on my side and I still get the empty palette.
