How should I troubleshoot this? security policy settings??

Inductive Visual Miner Plugin stops as Start Plug-in and doesn't progress further.

But when i tried Plug-in Mine Petri net with inductive miner, that worked.

Example below shows how Plug-in Mine Petri net with inductive miner works,
but when i kick off the Inductive Visual Miner, it doesn't go past Start Plug-in

What am I missing 

>>> Scanning for plugins took 12.287 seconds

>>> Total startup took 19.081 seconds

Start plug-in Open XES Log File (Naive)

End plug-in Open XES Log File (Naive), took 312 milliseconds

[ActionsBrowser] setFocus

Start plug-in Mine Petri net with Inductive Miner
...

End plug-in Mine Petri net with Inductive Miner, took 2519 milliseconds

Start plug-in @0 Visualize Petri net

End plug-in @0 Visualize Petri net, took 263 milliseconds

[ActionsBrowser] setFocus

Start plug-in @2 Log Summary

End plug-in @2 Log Summary, took 163 milliseconds

Start plug-in Inductive visual Miner

and so i removed the folder .prom-graphviz from (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp)

>>> Scanning for plugins took 12.503 seconds

>>> Total startup took 19.64 seconds

Start plug-in Open XES Log File (Naive)

End plug-in Open XES Log File (Naive), took 314 milliseconds

Start plug-in @2 Log Summary

End plug-in @2 Log Summary, took 207 milliseconds

Start plug-in Inductive visual Miner

dot directory C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\.prom-graphviz\dotBinaries7 does not exist; create it and copy binaries to it

copy dot.exe

copy freetype6.dll

copy glut32.dll

What now should happen is that ProM starts the dot executable on the file it just created. Apprantely, this does no work as expected.

The Inductive VIsual Miner creates a .dot file containing the graph to visualize, and calls the dot executable to add the layout to this graph. The graph with the layout is then visualized by ProM.

Can you check what happens if you visualize the result of the Inductive Miner using, for example,  the "Visualize Petri Net (Dot) (GraphVisualizers)" visualizer in the dropdown menu where you can select the visualization? This also uses the dot executable for the layout. If this visualization works ok, then dot works ok.

Kind regards,

Eric.

Yup, the  "Visualize Petri Net (Dot) (GraphVisualizers)" visualizer in the dropdown menu works. 

I have also reinstalled the Java app (x64 bit). Got nothing.

Hi Tsengj,

Could you share the log with us? (s dot leemans at qut dot edu dot au)

Hi Tsengj,

Could it be related to the following Java-bug? https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8179665

It should be fixed if Java is updated.

Hope that would solve it.

Thanks Sander, I have updated the java to the most recent. In any case bug forum link indicates resolved in 2017. Which is way before i started using PROM. I installed the 6.5.1 version, and the inductive miner works flawlessly. Still troubleshooting why 6.8 doesn't work.

Inductive Miner worked for me for version 6.5.1 and 6.6. No longer works for version 6.7 on wards on my machine.

May I ask to download the latest nightly build (http://promtools.org/doku.php?id=nightly), unzip it, run the "ProM.bat" file, try to run the Inductive visual Miner, and post whatever is shown in the command line?

tsengj

It is working beautifully now. I have reinstalled the laptop, fresh installed the nightly build, and it is beautiful to see the inductive visual miner again.
