CS3: XML tables cause crashes?

Hi everyone,
We've been using XML with InDesign CS3 for a while now, generally with success. However, we have added InDesign XML tables to our work and have encountered an odd problem. We can import XML containing tables and they appear with the correct layout, and text inside the tables is correctly formatted by Map Tags to Styles (on paragraph-level tags inside the table cells, not the Table and Cell tags themselves). However, when we try to cut a selection that includes an XML table, InDesign frequently crashes.
If we de-tag the tables, the problem goes away, but this is not really an option for us as we want to be able to Export XML once layout is complete.
Has anyone else ever encountered this crash? What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks!
Lester

Certainly, sorry, I should have done that first! It's in situations like this:

Errors creating indexes on Binary XML Tables

Hi,
Oracle details are as follows:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
"CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production"
TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
I'm currently having an issue when attempting to create a suitable index on a binary xml table. I have a Binary xml table that stores a number of xml documents. I have created an index on this table as follows:
create index TEST_WQI_idx_1 on TEST_WEB_QUOTE_INDX1(OBJECT_VALUE)
INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLINDEX
PARAMETERS ('PATHS (INCLUDE
(/webPolicy/QuoteId))');
Querying the table with the following:
SQL> l

2 as number) "VERSION",
3 xmlcast(xmlquery('/webPolicy/QuoteId/text()' PASSING OBJECT_VALUE RETURNING CONTENT)
4 as number) "QUOTEID"
5 FROM TEST_WEB_QUOTE_INDX1

However, I also need to add an additional field to this index to allow appropriate queries against the data in the table, version number. This field can be seen from the statement above (VERSION) which runs OK and returns the data I’d expect. However, when I attempt to add this index using the following statement I get an error returned and the index becomes corrupted:
alter index TEST_WQI_idx_1 rebuild
parameters ('PATHS (INCLUDE ADD
(/webPolicy/Sections/interopSection[1]/PolicyItems/item/Version))');
After some investigation, the issue seems to revolve around the use of the [1] condition in the statement /interopSection[1]. I can create the index by removing the [1] condition, but this does not return the expected result. In actual fact, as there are 2 interopSection elements in the xml file, both with a version number of 1, the statement returns 11, which would appear to be the two version numbers concatenated together. I need to be able to reference the version number from the first interopSection in the queries against the table, and I need to be able to index this column correctly for performance issues.
I'm unsure why this xpath statement is not working correctly in the alter index statement, but returns ok when used within the query against the table and was wondering if you would be able to help me to have a working index against this element.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide in relation to this.

Sorry, here is the error:
Error starting at line 20 in command:
alter index TEST_WQI_idx_1 rebuild

[11g] adding a virtual col to a binary XML table?

Hi
Is it possible to add a virtual col to an existing binay XML table ?
CREATE TABLE compagnie_binaryXML OF XMLType

OK, but
ALTER TABLE compagnie_binaryXML ADD vircolsalpil AS (EXTRACTVALUE(OBJECT_VALUE,'/compagnie/pilotes/pilote/s
alaire'));
ORA-22856: impossible d'ajouter des colonnes à des tables objet

Hi
IMHO this has nothing to do with XMLType... They simply forget to change the checks performed before adding a column... In fact, this is a "known problem" with object tables.

2 /
SQL> create table t of ttt;
SQL> alter table t add v as (to_char(n));
alter table t add v as (to_char(n))

// *Cause:   An attempt was made to add columns to an object table. Object
//           tables cannot be altered to add columns since its

// *Action: Create a new type with additional attributes, and use the new

Rendering xml-table into logical filename in SAP R/3

Hi,
I am trying to translate an xml-table with bytes into a logical filepath in SAP R3.
Do I have to use the method gui-download or shall I loop the internal xml-table?
When I tried to loop the xml-table into a structure, and then transfering the structure into the logical filename, I get problems with the line breaks in my xml-file. How do I get the lines to break exactly the same as I wrote them in my ABAP-code?

Migrate B-Tree Indexes of XML O-R Table to XMLIndex on Binary XML Table

We need slight help on how to migrate existing B-TREE Indexes from XML Obj-Rel Tables to XMLIndex on new XML Binary Tables
We use searches on Nested Collection Elements (defined unbounded in XSD)
and related DDL for XML Obj-Rel Tables is shown below:
CREATE TABLE TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML
AGREEMENT_XML xmltype,
CREATE_BY     VARCHAR2(15) NULL ,
CREATE_DT_GMT     TIMESTAMP NULL ,
CREATE_CLIENT_ID VARCHAR2(65) NULL ,
UPDATE_BY     VARCHAR2(15) NULL ,
UPDATE_DT_GMT     TIMESTAMP NULL ,
UPDATE_CLIENT_ID VARCHAR2(65) NULL ,
PIC_VERSION_NUM     NUMBER(20) NULL
XMLTYPE COLUMN AGREEMENT_XML XMLSCHEMA "AB_Agreement_V1_XMLDB.xsd" ELEMENT "Agreement"
VARRAY AGREEMENT_XML.XMLDATA."SHIPPING_PARTY_GROUPS"
STORE AS TABLE SHIPPING_PARTY_GROUPS_NT
(PRIMARY KEY (NESTED_TABLE_ID, ARRAY_INDEX) ENABLE)
VARRAY SHIPPING_PARTIES
STORE AS TABLE SHIPPING_PARTIES_NT
(PRIMARY KEY (NESTED_TABLE_ID, ARRAY_INDEX) ENABLE)
VARRAY AGREEMENT_XML.XMLDATA."SALES_OFFICE_CODES"."STRING_WRAPPERS"
STORE AS TABLE SALES_OFFICE_CODES_NT
(PRIMARY KEY (NESTED_TABLE_ID, ARRAY_INDEX) ENABLE)
TABLESPACE TNMAB_XMLDB_ME_DATA;
Table has PK and Unique Index which for the Binary XML Table, it will be setup on Virtual Columns (to enforce
Unique Constraints)
We have 6 more Normal Indexes on this Table, some created on Nested Elements as shown below:
-- 4 Normal B-TREE Indexes on Leaf level Elements
create index TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML_IDX1 on TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML (AGREEMENT_XML.XMLDATA."AGREEMENT_VERSION")
tablespace TNMAB_XMLDB_ME_INDX;
create index TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML_IDX2 on TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML (AGREEMENT_XML.XMLDATA."LAST_UPDATED_BY")
tablespace TNMAB_XMLDB_ME_INDX;
create index TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML_IDX3 on TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML (AGREEMENT_XML.XMLDATA."LAST_UPDATED")
tablespace TNMAB_XMLDB_ME_INDX;
create index TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML_IDX4 on TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML (AGREEMENT_XML.XMLDATA."CREATION_DATE")
tablespace TNMAB_XMLDB_ME_INDX;
--2 Indexes created on Nested Table (Collection)
create index TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML_NT_IDX1 on SALES_OFFICE_CODES_NT NT(NT.STR_VAL, NT.NESTED_TABLE_ID)
tablespace TNMAB_XMLDB_ME_INDX;
create index TNMAB_AGREEMENT_XML_NT_IDX2 on SHIPPING_PARTIES_NT NT(NT.CUSTOMER_HOLDER.SAP_ID, NT.NESTED_TABLE_ID)
tablespace TNMAB_XMLDB_ME_INDX;
Could you please let us know how we should migrate above Indexes to XMLIndex format.
Specifically, not sure how the last 2 Indexes on Nested Tables is to be defined.
Any help or resources pointing to this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help,
Auro

Can't tell due to using XMLDATA pseudocolumn. Would need a sample XML document structure that can be used to define the XPATH structure and ALSO need the database version you are using (ALL digits) to see if you would need / can use STRUCTURED or UNSTRUCTURED XMLINDEX indexes.
See the XML Index section (http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?page_id=441) on for guidance and/or of course the XMLDB Developers Guide for your database version

Why Isn't xmlindex being used in slow query on binary xml table eval?

I am running a slow simple query on Oracle database server 11.2.0.1 that is not using an xmlindex. Instead, a full table scan against the eval binary xml table occurs. Here is the query:
select -- /*+ NO_XMLINDEX_REWRITE no_parallel(eval)*/
      defid from eval,
      XMLTable(XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT 'http://www.cigna.com/acme/domains/eval/2010/03',
      'http://www.cigna.com/acme/domains/derived/fact/2010/03' AS "ns7"),
      '$doc/eval/derivedFacts/ns7:derivedFact' passing eval.object_value as "doc" columns defid varchar2(100) path 'ns7:defId'
       ) eval_xml
where eval_xml.defid in ('59543','55208'); The predicate is not selective at all - the returned row count is the same as the table row count (325,550 xml documents in the eval table). When different values are used bringing the row count down to ~ 33%, the xmlindex still isn't used - as would be expected in a purely relational nonXML environment.
My question is why would'nt the xmlindex be used in a fast full scan manner versus a full table scan traversing the xml in each eval table document record?
Would a FFS hint be applicable to an xmlindex domain-type index?
Here is the xmlindex definition:
CREATE INDEX "EVAL_XMLINDEX_IX" ON "EVAL" (OBJECT_VALUE)

create index eval_catt_2ndary_ix on eval_idx_tab_I (eval_catt);The xmlindex is getting picked up but a couple of problesm:
1. In the developemnt environment, no xml source records for defid '52657' or '52599' are being displayed - just an empty output set occurs; in spite of these values being present and stored in the source xml.
This really has me stumped, as can query the eval table to see the actual xml defid vaues '52657' and '52599' exist. Something appears off with the query - which didn't return records even before the corrresponding xml index was created.
2. The query still performs slowly, in spite of using the xmlindex. The execution plan shows a full table scan of eval occurring whether or not a HASH JOIN or MERGE JOIN (gets used in place of the HASH JOIN when the NO_USE_HASH(eval) int is used.
3. Single column 2ndary indexes created respectively for eval_catt and defid are not used in the execution plan - which may be expected upon further consideration.
In the process of running stats at this moment, to see if performance improves....
At this point, really after why item '1.' is occurring?

Photoshop CS4 and graphic cards. Can cause crashing?

Since upgrading to CS4 I seem to have increased crashing.
Here are my system specs.
Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
9 GB of Ram
250 GB internal dedicated scratch disc
NVDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256 VRAM
After having endless techs look at my machine and upgrading everything. I am beginning to suspect the graphics card.
With OpenGL can a underperforming video card cause crashing in photoshop especially with massive file sizes ( multilayered CMYK poster sized files the can exceed 7 GB)?

Did you install the 11.0.1 update?
Is your OS up to date with patches?
Have you tried disabling OpenGL in preferences to avoid using the GPU/Graphics card?

Mapping to XML TABLE

HI Everybody,
Could you help me a bit? I've got an XML schema (.xsd) and a corresponding XML document (.xml) file. I've registered the schema with Oracle XDB and loaded the XML document into XDB Repository using the object-relational storage technique. Fine--I can access it from SQL and PL/SQL using XPath. However, this is to be an integral part of a Java EE application, where I must be able to read specific fragments and nodes from my XML table and use the values in my Java classes for computations and to display them in different views. How to preceed? Which technology should I choose to map the table to classes?
In Toplink, I can unmarshal the document but since it is very big, this is no good practice to keep all data in memory. It should behave like an ordinary lookup table (as it is indeed).
Please state if you have an idea.
Thanks in advance, regards
Miklos HERBOLY

I have designed a simple relational table sturcture that can handle XML, in 4 brief tables. Email me [email protected] if interested.

Hi,
Use {code} tags to post formatted code on the forum.
That way, your code will be more readable for everyone, and more importantly here, everyone will be able to clearly see what's bothering you :
'sThe single quote was encoded with the character entity reference "&apos;".
The conversion is not mandatory but it happens Oracle is doing it in this case.
It shouldn't be a problem though.
If you want to extract the value afterwards, it'll come as expected :

How to query from the xml table a single, specified element.

I'm quite new in Xml Db. Pleas, can anybody tell me how to query from the xml table below a single element (i.e. the element 'rapportoparentela = NIPOTE' related to the element 'codicefiscale = CRRVNC76R52G337R', or the element 'rapportoparentela = FIGLIO' related to the element 'codicefiscale = CRRRNT51L23G337Q')?
- <dati xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<codiceinterno />
<codicefiscaleassistito>CRRMNL81R31G337H</codicefiscaleassistito>
- <famigliare>
<codicefiscale>CRRVNC76R52G337R</codicefiscale>
<rapportoparentela>NIPOTE</rapportoparentela>
</famigliare>
- <famigliare>
<codicefiscale>CRRRNT51L23G337Q</codicefiscale>
<rapportoparentela>FIGLIO</rapportoparentela>
</famigliare>
- <famigliare>
<codicefiscale>CBRPRN15S65E080W</codicefiscale>
<rapportoparentela>I.S.</rapportoparentela>
</famigliare>
- <famigliare>
<codicefiscale>CRRMNL81R31G337H</codicefiscale>
<rapportoparentela>NIPOTE</rapportoparentela>
</famigliare>
- <famigliare>
<codicefiscale>BCCCML54C50I845G</codicefiscale>
<rapportoparentela>NUORA</rapportoparentela>
</famigliare>
</dati>
Using SELECT extractValue(value(t),'/rapportoparentela') into result FROM NF_XMLT X,
TABLE ( xmlsequence (extract(value(X),'/dati/famigliare/rapportoparentela'))) t
I get all the elements 'rapportoparentela' and I want to get only one specified.
Regards.
Piero

Piero,
you can add the condition "CRRVNC76R52G337R" to your xpath-expression like:
SELECT extractValue(value(t),'/rapportoparentela')
FROM NF_XMLT x
,TABLE ( xmlsequence (extract(value(X),'/dati/famigliare[rapportoparentela="CRRVNC76R52G337R"]'))) tto select only those famigliare-elements that have a child-element rapportoparentela with value "CRRVNC76R52G337R".
When you stored your XML in an XMLType column in the table, i think the following queries are better:
SELECT extractValue(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare/rapportoparentela')
FROM NF_XMLT x
WHERE extractValue(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare/codicefiscale')
= 'CRRVNC76R52G337R'or
SELECT extractValue(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare/rapportoparentela')
FROM NF_XMLT x
WHERE existsNode(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare[codicefiscale="CRRVNC76R52G337R"]')
!= 0

ORA-00932 Using Structured XML Table

Hello,
I'm having a problem in trying to create and use a Structured XML Table.
I have created very small sample that illustrates my problem:
I have registered the following schema:
<schema
targetNamespace="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd"
xmlns:jjm="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<complexType name="JjmType">
<choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<element name = "Key" type = "string"></element>
<element name = "Type" type = "string"></element>
<element name = "AccessID" type = "string"></element>
</choice>
</complexType>
<element name ="Jjm" type="jjm:JjmType"/>
</schema>'
Then I created the following table:
CREATE TABLE JJM_SCHEMA of XMLType
XMLSCHEMA "http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd"
ELEMENT "Jjm";
Then I inserted the following row:
insert into JJM_SCHEMA values(xmltype('<Jjm
                         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd">
<Key>anp</Key>
               <Type>User</Type>
<AccessID>TSL2</AccessID>
</Jjm>'));
Then I do the following query:
SELECT
extract(value(x),
'/Jjm[Type="User"]') AS jjmXML FROM JJM_SCHEMA x
WHERE existsNode(value(x),'/Jjm[Type="User"]') = 1;
I get this error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got CHAR
However, if I remove the Xpath predicate [Type="User"] from the "extract()" function and WHERE clause...
SELECT
extract(value(x),
'/Jjm') AS jjmXML FROM JJM_SCHEMA x
WHERE existsNode(value(x),'/Jjm') = 1;
The query works.
Also, If I change the schema from <choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> to <sequence>... either query works.
I need the "choice" type element to work with the Xpath predicate. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Which version of the database are you using...
Testing with 9.2.0.4.0 I had to add an xmlns declaration to the instance document before I could insert it into the table
<Jjm xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd">
     <Key>anp</Key>
     <Type>User</Type>
     <AccessID>TSL2</AccessID>
</Jjm>
However once that was done I get the following.

Loading XML tables.

Hi,
I have managed to successfully register xml schema and create the xml tables. I now need to load the data into these tables. I am now working on different scenarios of loading the XML data into these tables.
I successfully experimented with the SQL/PLSQL options as well as SQL*Loader. I am reluctant to try the C and JAVA based interfaces because, frankly that is a completely new field for me and will present a huge learning curve that I wonât be able to pull off in short time I need to put this application in production.
My scenario, I have about 250 XML tables which Iâm going to populate from XML data files containing thousands of records. I need the lode process to be automatic such that I can do scheduled runs.
The problem I have is SQL*Loader, and I am strictly going by the example given in the Oracle documentation, is that it requires for me to put â0â for every record in the file. Hereâs what my sample control file looks like,
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE "MCF_Custom_Form_Date_Rg" APPEND
xmltype(xmldata)
FIELDS
xmldata LOBFILE (CONSTANT sampleload1.xml) TERMINATED BY '[XML]'
BEGINDATA
0
0
0
This method works if I have finite number of records which Iâll need to count before hand and add a â0â for each record. Thatâs not an optimal solution because I will not know the number of records before hand. Is there any way of changing this behavior?
I am kind of stumped. What are my other alternatives? I read some where about SAX load utility. Where can I find more documentation about it? Can I run automated loading programs using it?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
AVJ.

Anand, you might want to try something using xmldb repository since it allows you to do the FTP operations for the xml files and FTP operations can be scheduled.
First check of your database already accepts FTP operations.
From the command prompt type
FTP
FTP> OPEN <DATABASE SERVER NAME> 2100
Next it asks for a user which you can give database user and password.
Now the lets consider this example schema.

Here you can check at the top there is defaultTable="PURCHASEORDER". So after the registration of this schema you will find a table PURCHASEORDER in your database. This table is created only if the GENTABLE parameter value was set to TRUE during schema registration.
Now you can FTP the xml-instance file. Note during the registration of the xml schema, you would have given a URL to identify this schema uniquely in the database.
This URL should be present in the xml-instance file as part of noNamespaceSchemaLocation tag.
Now for FTP operations you need couple of things like a folder path on the reposity. see the documentation on how create the folder on the XMLDB repository.
Now FTP the xml instance file to the folder. Automatically using the value specified in the noNamespaceSchemaLocation tag, Oracle recognizes that this instance file belongs to a particular XML schema which has a defaultTable PURCHASEORDER. It will push this xml file automatically into this table.
you can check that using select count(*) from purchaseorder after the FTP operation.
You can automate this process of FTP operations.
refer documentation XMLDB Developers Guide, it has detail information about repository and how to query your files in the repository.
good luck.

Need XML table data out of Oracle Tables

I have an application running using Java/XML technology. My database source is completely HOST and I communicate with HOST to get the data or to save/update the data through XML only. Here I have a situaion, I have my information in metadata (xml tables fromat) and I need to get some of the information from other application which is in Oralce. So I need to get the daily based updated information from Oracle database and that inturn should update my xml tables ( When I say update xml tables, whenver there is change in the Oracle database data my xml tables should also have that changed data).
Can any one help me how to get this done.

Which version of the database...

BP Cockpit. Standard sap icon (e.g. ICON_OKAY) within a cell of XML table?

Hello all,
I have programmed a custom bp cockpit.
I am able to build up the xml to show the data, but only with texts.
Does anybody know how could I be able to insert an image (an standard SAP icon like "ICON_OKAY") in any of the table cells?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello all again,
finally, I found the way...
The problem was that the standard XSLT conversion program 'CRM_CCKPT_CFS_SERVICE_DEFAULT' ignores the tag 'img' so... there's no way to insert images (at least within a table cell).
I try to explain the solution:
FIRST: Create own XSLT conversion program
a. Go to transaction XSLT_TOOL
b. Copy the standard conversion program 'CRM_CCKPT_CFS_SERVICE_DEFAULT' to a customer one... let's call it 'Z_CCKPT_CFS_SERVICE'.
c. Modify this Z_CCKPT_CFS_SERVICE adding following lines:
<xsl:when test="child::img=true()">
<td class="table7" width="{@width}" nowrap="x">
    <img src="{child::img/@src}"/>
</td>
</xsl:when>
insert this lines just before, and at the same level that
<xsl:when test="@colspan=true()">
Here we are telling to the conversion program how to translate XML code for images to HTML code (only when they are found between "td" tags)
SECOND: Find icon path and insert it within XML code
a. Go to your Z class for your infoblock (let's say Z_CL_INFOBLOCK) that inherits from CL_CRM_CCKPT_IOS and modify the GET_REPORT method
b. Get the icon path:
DATA:
lc_icono TYPE string.
lc_icono = cl_bsp_mimes=>sap_icon( 'ICON_OKAY' ).
This way, we get the physical path to the icon.
c. insert icon in xml code:
DATA:
lv_string TYPE string.
CONCATENATE '<img src="' lc_icono '"/>'
INTO lv_string.
CALL METHOD crmcl_cckpt_templatesplitter=>fill_template
EXPORTING
    iv_tagname = 'S1'
    iv_string   = lv_string
CHANGING
    cv_template = ls_template.
Here, we are filling contents of tab 'S1' in the XML template LS_TEMPLATE with the line
<img src="physical/path/of/your/icon.gif"/>
, that will be "translated" with your Z XSLT conversion program Z_CCKPT_CFS_SERVICE
THIRD: link Z conversion program ('Z_CCKPT_CFS_SERVICE') to your XML.
a. Also within the GET_REPORT method, after the creation of the XML code, insert following line as the first one in the XML table (export parameter of the method):
DATA:
lw_meta TYPE string.
lw_meta = '<meta:metadata xmlns:meta="urn:sap-com:document:sap:crm_cckpt:metadata" STYLESHEET="Z_CCKPT_CFS_SERVICE"/>'.
INSERT lw_meta INTO lt_xml_temp INDEX 1.
_et_xml_out[] = lt_xml_temp[].
CLEAR et_xml_out.
LOOP AT _et_xml_out INTO _ls_xml_out.
    CONCATENATE et_xml_out lv_newline _ls_xml_out INTO
                et_xml_out.
ENDLOOP.
FOURTH: Finally, it works!!!
You have your icon included as the content of a table cell...
Hope this helps
Best Regards
