Blaze Advisor upgrade(7.4)

Hi Debraj, what is the current version of Blaze Advisor being used?  There is documentation that may help you:

     <<BLAZE_INSTALLATION>>/Advisor74/doc/pdf

          Migration.pdf

          InstallationAndSetup.pdf

You will also want to read the version Release Notes to check your software levels and dependencies:

     <<BLAZE_INSTALLATION>>/Advisor74/ReleaseNotes.html .

I am using blaze advisor 7.4. I went through the pdf docs but did't get any idea how to upgrade my project with latest version i.e blaze advisor 7.4

In my project there are a folder where adv, dbcp,flow jcp, rb files are there Also in lib folder there are Advisor.jar,AdvisorDev.jar,AdvisorSvr.jar etc.I have been asked to upgrade that project with latest version of blaze advisor(7.4)

I am new to this

So please tell me all the steps to port in the existing code in new version of blaze advisor(7.4)

Regards

Debraj Dutta

One of my friend told me to run the .rb file in eclipse where blaze advisor 7.4 has been installed and see the result either it executes with error or no error.

But I am getting how to run the existing .rb files in eclipse. Please guide me.

Debraj,  if your project contains (.adv, .rb, etc...), then it was last supported with a much older version of Blaze, those files are not used anymore.  Although, in the newer version you can generate an .rb file for an entire project, which can be helpful for viewing/debugging rules.

Do you have Eclipse Neon and Blaze 7.4 plugin installed?  If so, you could try importing your .adv file and see if it converts everything into a new project (create a new empty repository and new workspace first, then do the import).  From the Blaze Perspective, select File - Import... Blaze Advisor/Blaze Advisor Repository Administration/Advisor Project from a .adv to an Advisor Workspace.

If that doesn't work, you probably need to contact FICO technical support to see how to upgrade.  You should try finding out what version of Blaze was last used to support the project.  Good Luck!

Hi,

Any solution ?

After getting problem to create new repository connection ; I tried Default Repository Connection and imported .adv file from existing Project file and created a location in the repository where I want the project. After clicking Finish button following message

was displayed on console:

Compilation of the original Advisor Project in progress...

The compilation of the original Advisor Project succeeded.

The items of the rulebase 'test.rb' whose order was relevant were stored in the Group 'test Group'.

So what I will do next ?

Debraj, it's good news that your project imported/compiled correctly, but you really needed to create a new Repository and that would have created a new Repository Connection in the same step.  Instead, you connected to the Default Repository, which is a simple file-based repository (no versioning) that comes pre-packaged with Blaze.  You should read the Blaze documentation on creating new repositories (doc/pdf/ManagingRepositories.pdf).  After creating your own new repository (and connection), do the import step again and you should now have a new Blaze 7.4 repository with all the old entities imported.  As an alternative, you could probably copy your Default Repository from /Blaze/Advisor74 to another location, rename it, and create a new connection to it.  Your import should have created new folders/projects, so you can probably delete the Default Folder and Default Project.  Your next steps will depend on what you are expected to do with the new repository.  Congrats!

But I am getting error when creating new repository connection as following

Trying to execute the disabled command com.fairisaac.eclipse.builder.integration.commandNewRepositoryConnection

Any solution ?

You may want to ensure that your Eclipse and Java versions are compatible with Blaze 7.4.  The Release Notes only mention Eclipse Luna SR2, support beginning with 7.3 and deprecated in 7.4.  You may want to consider upgrading to Luna SR2 (4.4.2) and try again.  I have created Blaze 7.4 repositories with no issues on Luna (4.4.2) and Neon (4.6.2/4.6.3), using Oracle JDK 7 and 8.

Hi,

Now I am using Eclipse Luna SR2(4.4.2) with Oracle JDK 8. I have added Blaze Advisor 7.5 there.

without License Key as " It was mentioned when downloading the product:-

"If there is no serial number information displayed here, your product does not require a license key. Contact Fair Isaac Corporation directly for more information."

Facing below problem:-

When opening eclipse it is asking License Key :-

Please enter your license key(s).

A development license is required

But As I told above no License Key has been provided at the time of product downloading

So there is no values in key.properties file i.e license.com.blazesoft.licenseKeys package

So I select Cancel button and going to import the Advisor Project from a .adv file to an Advisor Workspace

When select the "Advisor Project from a .adv file to an Advisor Workspace " and Click Next

It is not working the Next Button.

Can you help me here ?
