I've finished all schematic parts in altium designer and I would like to make a PCB by using the "update schematic" function. However, this function, along with "import changes" have been grayed out. I'm new to Altium and have no idea what's going on.
The problem is your documents' location. They are listed under "Free Documents", meaning they have not been added to a specific project. In order to fix this, go to File -> New -> Project, select PCB project and give it a name/location.
You can add your schematic and PCB files to it using the 'Add existing to Project' function.
Your problem can be with your license or if something didn't save in your project (after adding the PCB to the project you need to save the PCB file and the project)

I need to create a brand new empty TALEND OPEN STUDIO project and then simply import some jobs from another already existing project.
Can someone help me on this please.
Many thanks !
Open Talend Studio
You will be prompt with a small window which will have few options like
Select an existing Project
Create a new Project
and other options. You can click on Create a new project and then you can a give a name to that project.
Then your Talend window will be opened. On the left side of it you will have many options like Business models, job designs, contexts etc. Right click on Job designs and you will get the options of import items along with other options like export items etc. Click on it. You will get a window asking for your root directory of all the jobs. If you already have some archived files in a working environment then you can do that also, but I guess here it is not that case. For a normal job go with select root directory option. Select your directory where you have jobs. You can also import any particular job also. You have few buttons on right side saying Select all, Deselect All etc. These options are for parameter files and schema repositories etc. associated with your Job which you are importing. You can select or deselect according to your need. That's pretty much to import a simple Job.
There are many other options we will have to consider while importing jobs and creating new projects according to environment where we are working with Talend but for using Talend Open Studio for simple Jobs, all the above instructions would be fine.
PS - I am sorry I can't provide any graphics for it due to some reasons. But if you follow along with above instructions, it will work.
right now we are using svn to share code for our force.com/visualforce project. It works great controllers, components, pages and static resources.
The problem is it seems the salesforce.schema file is not really a local file, its a placeholder that checks your server and tells you your current schema.
We want to baseline our schema changes/updates to a file so we can share in svn.
I found this:
http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/General-Development/Custom-Objects-in-Force-com-IDE/td-p/445363
But we cant seem to figure out what do do/how to get it to work.
So in a nutshell, we are looking for a way for Developer A to create a custom schema object in their own SF Sandbox, somehow get this info into a file in svn (ideally through the force.com ide), then check it in so developer B can check it out and apply it to their server. (the same way we do for code).
Any help would be great!
thanks

Ok, we finally figured this out through trial and error:
To make this work:
right click on project, click "Force.com/Add Remove Metadata Components"
go down to custom ojbjects, open that up, make sure all your custom objects are checked, click apply, then say "NO" to dialog
then right click on src and click "Force.com/Syncronize with Server, find your objects, and click "Apply Server to Project"
now your files will be local, check them into SVN and you are golden.
I have a report that I created in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008.
I now want to create a new report, that is very similar that the one I already created.
How do I do that without writing the report from scratch? Can I just copy the .rdl to a new name? How will Visual Studio "pick that up"?
Thanks!
Just one last comment on Amarundo's callout:
"Diego, that's the thing. I can right click the report (under Solution Explorer) and select copy, but can't find where to past. Or if I copy the .rdl file, I don't know how to add that to my project."
If you right-click on a report item in the Solutions Explorer, the Copy option is available. However, the Paste option never becomes visible, even when you have a report item in your clipboard. However, the object is there, and you can paste it by pressing ctrl+v.
I think it was just a UI miss on Microsoft's part.
I confess that I did not know the answer to this question, so I tried. I copied and renamed one of my reports, added it to my project, uploaded to SSRS and ran it.
Seems to be working fine, so I guess the answer is yes
[In recent versions of Visual Studio, you can simply copy and paste in the solution explorer window and rename the file there. This answer will work with older versions of VS.]
The easiest way I've found to do this:
In BIDS, after creating the original report, right click on the project or reports folder in the Solution Explorer pane and select Add -> Existing Item...
In the resulting dialog, copy and paste your first report, which will give you something similar to "Report1 Copy.rdl"
Rename the copied file to your new report name.
Select the new file again, so that this name is selected in the File name text box.
Click the "Add" button.
Yes, there is no problem with adding multiple copies of identical .rdl's. There are no unique identifiers in the .rdl file.
Easiest way is copy the required .rdl file from Reports Folder (which is in the Solution Explorer Window -> Project Dropdown List) and then right click your project name (which is on the top of the same window). Select the paste option and your project will be duplicated with the name of Copy of (copied .rdl file name).
I had been copying reports for a while. One of the copies started to have a problem with a sub-report not being able to show when the report was run. The sub-report ran fine by it's self. After looking at the XML code in the RDL, I found that next to the last line was a ReportID GUID. Most of my reports shared the same GUID, including this report and it's sub-report. After getting a fresh GUID for the sub-report the problem was cleared up.
The only process that I could find to generate a new GUID was to delete all Data Sources in the report. Then delete the ReportID line in the XML. Then re-add a Data Source, which caused the VS2010 to crash. Once VS2010 recovered I was able to re-add the Data Source, which replaced the ReportID line in the XML with a new GUID.
I was able to create a new report in VS and instead of adding a new item (.rdl) in solution explorer I added an existing item, the .rdl from the report I wanted to copy. I changed the name of the .rdl and changed the SP in the dataset and it worked like a charm.
Yes. Right click your report ending with .rdl, select copy, and then select your folder and paste with ctrl-V. You can see as Copy of yourReport
Copy the RDL file from Prod source code to the Report server
Find the REPORTS URL by opening Reporting Service Config. Manager from Start btn
Open the Report Mgr URL option from left pane – goto to the URL listed in there
Find the folder the Rpt belongs in based on you organization method, and open that folder
Click Upload File at the top, browse to the copied file – Replace/Overwrite existing
Find Report in the report list, click its dropdown, choose Manage
Choose Datasources from the left pane
Choose a Datasource that the report will use from this list
Click Apply, and double click to run the report
Probably a very straight forward solution here, but can't seem to find an answer. I recently changed my eclipse workspace to my dropbox folder, so I can work on my netbook when in college and on my desktop when at home. I copied and pasted all my project folders from the old workspace into the dropbox workspace, changed the workspace location in eclipse, but none of the projects are showing up in the project explorer now. Having refreshed the project explorer many times now to no avail, is there any way to add these projects into the project explorer? Thanks
From the main menu bar, select File > Import. The Import wizard opens.
Collapse or click + in General > Existing Project into Workspace and click Next.
Choose either Select root directory or Select archive file and click the associated Browse to locate the directory or file containing the projects.
Under Projects select the project or projects which you would like to import.
Click Finish to start the import.
I have had this problem in many versions of Eclipse and followed the process outlined by #vijin-paulraj, but frustratingly kept failing...
Until I noticed that the checkbox at the bottom of the wizard "Copy projects into workspace" is checked by default, and does not have an eventhandler attached to it. So if you do not clear this box before selecting the directory it will tell you that "Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace." Clearing the checkbox after this will not trigger a form refresh and the Finish button will remain disabled.
TIP: once the checkbox is cleared, select the directory again will trigger form validation and allow you to proceed.
Try importing existing project:

The answer for me was to make sure that I was in the correct working set.
I was in the working set from training and had not placed my new project into a working set at all.
While the above answers will most likely place your project into Eclipse, a working set will exclude you from seeing any project that is not placed in it from the package explorer.
My personal answer was to create a new working set to keep it separate from work, via the context menu from the upside down triangle at the top left of the package explorer.
Yours may be to modify your current set by adding the new project to it. This option is also located in the same menu.
My circumstance could have been avoided in the "new project" wizard, if I had placed it in a set from there.
I hope this has been useful. Please, feel free to ask for clarification.
As the title says, somehow the entity designer disappeared from my installation of Visual Studio 2010.
When trying to open an .edmx file, it only opens it in the XML editor. When i choose "Open With...", the Entity designer doesn't show up in the list.
It has worked before, and i don't know of anything i could have done to remove it from the list. Does anyone know how i can re-add it? Thanks!
First thing to check is, is this a problem with your project or with your VS installation.
Try creating a new project and see if the entity designer is in the list
If it is you have two options
Move your files to the new project
Try to repair your project file
The way it works is that there are a set og Guids in the project file that control what is available in that project. So you can open the project files in notepad, find out which is missing and then move them over.
