Error in cross reference creation urgent

Hi,
I am trying to create cross reference in SOA11g. I created xref tables(DEMO_CONTACT) first. when i try to populate data into that table using xref:populateXRefRow1M() function, it is showing following error:
XPath expression failed to execute. An error occurs while processing the XPath expression; the expression is xref:populateXRefRow1M("DEMO_CONTACT.xref","SBL8_ID","bpws:getVariableData('ContactVarTMP1')","SBL6_ID","bpws:getVariableData('ContactVarTMP2')","bpws:getVariableData('xrefAction')"). The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: internal xpath error. Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct.
can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thanks

Make sure the URL is accessible. Can you provide below information -
1. Which version of OSB and SOA are you working with?
2. Which type of service have you defined on OSB?
Regards,
Anuj

Cross-Reference creation

Hello to all!
I am new to this amazing world of Extendscript but I have been using Framemaker since version 5.5.
I am working on a kind of cross-reference manager and it works really nice. I can list all cross-references at book or document level, select the cross-reference to be shown in the current document and so on. I am using non-structured FM.
The problem I am facing is the creation of cross-reference itself.I know how to create a Cross-Ref Marker for the Xref, but I don´t know how to insert the Xref into the content. I tried with NewAnchoredFormattedObject function with objType, format and textLoc parameters. Also there´s the XRefSrcText property (string containg unique ID:pgf_tag:text).
The question is: Should I use the same string (the content of XRefSrcText) as text for the Cross-Ref type Marker? Or just the pgf text that contains the Cross-Ref?
I have found several examples using Framescript but I am unable to replicate the code using ES.
Thanks for reading me. I will appreciate any help on this.
Regards

Hi again Jang:
I have been trying to create the XREF following your suggestions:
First I created a XREF using the FM procedure. Then I created a code to get the info from Data Browser in the ESTK.
Then I created a XREF using my own code: FM recognizes the XREF (as you can see on the right image) but I cannot get any cross-ref on the content.
Here is the code for the Cross-ref marker target creation:
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
var pgf = doc.TextSelection.beg.obj
var tLoc, marker, markerType;
tLoc = new TextLoc(pgf, 0);
marker = doc.NewAnchoredObject(Constants.FO_Marker, tLoc);
markerType = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_MarkerType, "Cross-Ref");
marker.MarkerTypeId = markerType;
marker.MarkerText = "10978: Heading1: PREAMBLE";
Here is the code I am using to create the XREF:
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
var pgf = doc.TextSelection.beg.obj;
var oTLoc1=new TextLoc (pgf, 0);
var format="Page";
var newcrossref=doc.NewAnchoredFormattedXRef(format, oTLoc1);
newcrossref.XRefFmt.Name=format;
newcrossref.XRefSrcText= "10978: Heading1: PREAMBLE";
I have tried with tons of modifications but without success.
I hope you can help me!
Regards

Cross-reference tag errors in Trados preventing MIF creation

Our Spanish translator provides files from translation memory with unresolved cross-reference text in English; when we update the book the cross-references are translated to Spanish and the page numbers are also updated within the cross-reference text. After our DTP process, when we return the files to the translator to update the translation memory, he gets a misalignment in the tags and Trados prevents him from creating a MIF file. Trados won't let him ignore the cross-references. We're using unstructured FrameMaker 2009 and he has Trados 2007. We're in the midst of a deadline for a project due next week and he wants to charge us an enormous fee to fix the tags manually. Can anyone suggest a solution the translator can use? I'm a newbie forum user, but I checked the FAQ and did not see anything. Thanks! Sue

As far as I know, FM cross-references (which came into Trados via MIF and S-Tagger) are handled as placeables. I suppose the mismatches stem from a "placeables differences penalty", which by default is 2%, even for otherwise exact matches.
A possible solution could be to impose no penalties for placeables in Trados, i.e. set the placeables differences penalty to 0%. But be careful, this may overshoot the mark, as there might be relevant differences in placeables that must be reviewed. I'm not aware of a setting in Trados where you could specify this more selectively.

Report Generation Toolkit (Word) : How to use correctly bookmark and cross-reference without "Error! Reference source not found"

Hi,
I try to generate a report using a template. In my template I use some cross-reference to refer to one bookmark. For exemple in the first page I created a bookmark for my name and in the header I created a cross-reference refer to my name. The problems is when I run my VI the bookmark actualise perfectly but the cross-reference refer to the bookmark can't actualise with the same value and generates an error : "Error! Reference source not found".
Can somebody help me please!

Hi,
When i create the word template, the bookmaks and the cross-reference referred to the bookmark update correctely. The problem is when I try to change the bookmark using "report generation from template vi" the bookmark change but not the cross-reference and the error generated is "Error! Reference source not found".
I make coople reasherch and i think they have no solution for this because : "if the text in a heading referred to in a cross-reference is revised, the cross-reference to the heading may no longer work" (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/troubleshoot-cross-references-HP005189368.aspx).
To "resolved" this problem I create an other bookmark in the template who have the same value white the principle bookmark.
I use Labview 2011 and Micosoft office 2010.

Cross-references error

HI everyone,
I have a book file with about 20 chapters. These chapters all have a large number of cross-references in them that link from chapter to chapter. Since I now have to revise last year's 2010 edition of the book, I went through and changed the name of each chapter file by updating 2010 to 2011 in the chapter name. Now when I open a chapter, the cross references that reference text in other chapters all have a question mark icon next them and if I try to double click it I get the following error:
"Hyperlink destination document not found. Please verify the documents location in the hyperlinks panel before choosing this hyperlink"
This doesn't mean that I have to manually go through and relink the cross-references to the newly named chapters does it? This would take ages and it doesn't make sense that I would have to do this simply because I changed a file name. Is there a quicker way to solve this problem?
Really appreciate any advice offered.

Thanks for the reply,
Yeah I could change them back but I need the file names to be different - it's a 2011 version now, not a 2010 version. Is there no other workaround that keeps the file names intact?

Unresolved cross-references error in FM 10, but same ref-s working in PDF

Hi everyone,
I've come across an issue I can't fix: when opening an .fm file in FrameMaker I get an error message saying the document has unresolved cross-references. The Find/Change check also shows that all cross-references in the file are broken, but from the Cross-references pod I can jump to the right marker by clicking Go to source.
At the same time when I choose to save the book as PDF, these same references in the resulting PDF work just fine: they are clickable and lead exactly to the right location. The .book and the .fm files are all stored locally, so no networking or sharing involved. Markers added automatically, source type for references is Paragraph.
Could you please help me figure out how to fix the links that seem to be working just fine?
Thanks,
Svetlana.

> What is a MIF wash and how would you do that?
Maker Interchange Format (human-readable FM document markup).
In FM10 & later, I think it's a pulldown menu item, but what it does is:
save all files as .mif in MIF[latest] format, including the .book
(if by hand, save in place to .fm and .book to make this easier)
close all files
open the ( MIF ) files
If you do it manually, to .mif file names, be sure to open the body.mif files first, and resave them as .fm before opening the book.mif file.
This process at least flags, and may fix or correct any data structures that aren't valid MIF.

ODI : how to raise cross reference error before loading into Essbase?

Hi John .. if you read my post, I want to say that you impress me! really, thank for your blog.
Today, my problem is :
- I received a bad quality data file from ERP extract
- I have cross reference table (Source ==> Target)
- >> How to raise the error before loading into Essbase !
My Idea is the following, (first of all, I'm not sure if it is a good one, and also I meet issue to do it in ODI !)
- Step 1 : make JOIN between data.txt and cross-reference Table ==> Create a table DATA_STEP1 in the ODISTAGING schema (the columns of DATA_STEP1 are the addition of columns of data.txt those of cross-references Tables (... there is more than 20 columns in my case)
- Step 2 : Control if there is no NULL value in the Target Column (NULL means that the data.txt file contains value that are not defined in my cross reference Table) by using Filter ( Filter = Target_Account IS NULL or Target_Entity IS NULL or ...)
The result of this interface is send to reject.txt file - if reject.txt file is not empty then a mail is sent to the administrator
- Step 3 : make the opposite : Filter NOT (Target_Account IS NULL or Target_Entity IS NULL ... ) ==> the result is sent in DATA_STEP3 Table
- Step 4 : run properly the mapping : source : DATA_STEP3 (the clean and verified data !) with cross reference Tables and send data into Essbase - NORMALY, there is not rejected record !
My main problem is : what is the right IKM to send data into the DATA_STEP1, or DATA_STEP3 Table, which are Oracle Table in my ODISTAGING Schema ! I thy with IKM Oracle Incremental Update but I get error, and actually I don't need an update (which is time consumming), I just need an INSERT !
I'm just lookiing for an 'IKM SQL to Oracle" ....
regards
xavier

Thanks john : very speed !
I understood better now which IKM is useful.
I found other information about the error followup with ODI : http://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/2009/10/did_you_know_that_odi_generate.html
and I decided to activate Integrity Constorl in ODI :
I load :
- data.txt in ODITEMP.T_DATA
- transco_account.csv in ODITEMP.T_TRANSCO_ACCOUNT
- transco_entity.csv in ODITEMP.T_TRANSCO_ENTITY
- and so on ...
- Moreover I create integrity constraints between T_DATA and T_TRANSCO_ACCOUNT and T_TRANSCO_ENTITY ... so I expected that ODI will raise for me in E$_DATA (the error table) the bad records !
However I have one issue when loading data.txt into T_DATA because I have no ID or Primary Key ... I read in a training book that I could use a SEQUENCE ... I try but unsuccessful ... :-(
Is there another simple way to create a Primary Key automaticaly (T_DATA is in an oracle Schema of course) ?thanks in advance

Need to know xml flow cross references, Its Very Urgent Help me

need to know xml cross references coding and sample files for indesign cs3

As far as I know, cross references are available in CS4/5, not in CS3. It is possible to write a script that creates hundreds, thousands of them very quickly taking the necessary information, let's say from tagged text. You wrote only one line, so it's difficult to me to imagine what XML structure you have and what your requirements are. But here is a script I wrote a while ago -- probably you need something similar, and here's the source code (not final version, of course) to show the approach I used.

Display cross-references' linked documents filename in the xref panel

Our company creates technical manuals consisting of five chapters, all named the same, except with a different prefix. For example the "ABC Widget" manual has an introduction chapter named "ABC 1 - Introduction", a safety chapter named "ABC 2 - Safety", etc. Many times I re-use documents for creating subsequent manuals using the "Save As" command. So the "ABC 1 - Introduction" chapter would be saved as "EFG 1 - Introduction" for the "EFG Widget" book. For all the internal xrefs it saves a whole lot of time since all of the xrefs are preserved. But for cross-document references it creates a problem. For example, if the "ABC 1 - Introduction" chapter has a xref to "ABC 2 - Safety", when I save the Introduction chapter as "EFG 1 - Introduction" it will still retain the xref to "ABC 2 - Safety".
Right now, the only way to see if there are xrefs pointing to latent docs, is to check each one manually. If the xref panel displayed a column indicating the filename of the linked documents, I would be able to tell at a glance if that xref was pointing to the wrong document.
Thank you.

Hi Van,
I fear, I expressed myself not very clear. I try again.
We have DITA structured documents. However, lastest status often was saved in the FM document. The xml documents often are not representing the final status.
When I open the FM8 document in FM9 everything looks pretty good.
But: When I want to save the document as xml with FM9, I'm getting errors regarding the cross references.
The cross references which were created in FM8 - doesn't matter, if a valid xml document or a FM document - always look the same.
(BTW: I don't think that in structured documents cross references always refer to elemts with a unique ID.)
example from xml which was created with FM8:
<xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" type = "fm:Chapter">"..."</xref>
the only difference in the FM document is that the element is called fm-xref there, as it's not an external url.
in FM9 those cross references are totally different.
example from xml which was created in FM9:
<xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" class = "- topic/xref">"..."</xref>
When saving the FM documents with the cross references from the first example as xml in FM9 (we don't have FM8 anymore), I get an error that the attribute type is not defined.
When having a xml document that was last changed with FM8 and opening/ saving this with FM9, there is no error.
At the moment I do not know how to solve this issue.
And also I'm not sure weather the same problem might accour again with change from FM9 to FM10 or else.
It is a great effort to make new cross references just because we upgraded from FM8 to FM9. (And of course always at most inconvienent time.)
As we are thinking of upgrading to FM10, it would be good to know before, if there are any similar issues to expect.
Or if there is an fix for FM9 or FM10 to avoid this at all.

Anna

Cross-reference auto-page numers?

Can anyone tell me why i cannot get cross-references to work with automatic page numbering? Is there some fundamental error i am making? I have the master files setup with auto-page numbering based on 'current page.' All of my pages are numbered sequentially as 1, 2, 3, etc. and setup with a unique paragraph style. however, when i try to reference a page number in the document, none of the pages show up under the paragraph style in the cross-reference menu. I have even tried to use ctrl+shft+click on the desired reference page to bring the page number frame from the master file onto that specific page, but the text still does not show up in the cross-references menu. I feel as though i must be making some sort of mistake because it seems this could be one of the more obvious/widespread uses for the cross-reference feature. Any help would be great. Perhaps there is simply another way to do this? Thanks!

Peter,
I understand that this is probably a more specific use of the feature, no doubt. It is ultimately unrealistic to expect a program to work exactly as each individual user's project approach dictates. I dont take the comment as a slam, dont fret.
My confusion and concern ultimately stems from the fact that, on the surface (granted, I am definitely not a programmer ), it seems like the ability to directly reference the page number would be, almost inherently, already built-in in the sense that the page number is recognized as a product of content placement. In other words, if the cross-reference knows that changes to the document composition have caused my referenced content to move from auto-numbered page 36 to auto-numbered page 37, yet the reference cannot exist to simply the page number itself. It has to exist via the content on taht page. Hopefully I have provided and explanation which makes sense!
In all honesty, the ability to reference only content and not also page number is only goingot set me back about half. For my sake, I have a 300 page document which includes hundreds of figures/illustrations, all of which correspond to text explanations in a different part of the document. Over time, it is anticipated that standards and graphics will be added/subtracted/changed, and therefore, so will the section numbering, page numbering, figure numbering, and the corresponding pages on which all of these pieces of info will occur. We would like to correspond figures and sections to one number; in this case, the page. Because each figure/illustration will have it's own page, it is desired to make the figure number and page number match to achieve an easier means of navigating the book. Basically, I want the text section, which will be read first, to reference figure numbers and/or page numbers (at this point, i have the option of choosing one or the other), but both of these numbers are going to dynamically update.
So, if that made any sense at all (ha), is there a way to use the cross references to point at a number that is set to automatically/dynamically change? If there is not, then perhaps I will simply have to create static figure numbers for the referenced content and then just let the page numbers change over time. If you have any other suggestions, I am definitely open to exploring them!
Thanks for the continued help!
Garrett
Hi, Garrett:
If I understand your description correctly, it seems that you're asking for an unusual numbering/navigation approach. Is there an example that you've seen that works this way, and that you want to emulate? Is this a publishing style/convention in the particular industry?
Am I correct in imagining that in a document that contains three figures on discontiguous pages, they might be numbered something like this:
Page #
Figure #
1
1
15
15
250
250
This would result in no figures 2, 3...14...249. Would your document have references to figure 15 on page 15? Would you want your list of figures (LOF) to resemble:
Figure number and title Page
1. Example of the widget in question ............................. 1
15. Example of another widget ......................................... 15
(sorry about the messy table layout - the HTML is tricky)
Would your audience be concerned that the figure numbers are not consecutive across a multi-chapter book, or consecutive within a chapter, and restart in each chapter? That is, would a reader think that some figures are missing?
Is there a specific objection to figure 11 on page 26 becoming figure 11 on page 28, if text content were inserted, or becoming figure 16 on page 29 if figures were inserted? When numbered-list paragraph styles and cross-reference formats are set up properly, cross-references to these figures would update to indicate both the correct number and correct page.
Have I misunderstood something?
[EDIT]
I forgot to ask if your document will be using cross-references interactively in a PDF or other multimedia format. If so, can you give more detail on your expectations?
Have you looked into InDesign hyperlinks? They can refer to a page number - either "sticking" to the designated page no matter if its page number changes because of reflow or being moved, or "sticking" to whatever happens to become the "n-th" page if the original page is relocated. Search Help for Create a hyperlink to a page.

Cross Reference displays wrong Chapter

I have several FrameMaker files that will eventually be combined into one book. In some chapters there are references to outside chapters. At some point another person that was using these files had to switch the Chapter title; for example Chapter 7 became Chapter 6. Now when I open up, lets say Chapter 5, and I set up a cross reference to chapter 6 I got throug the following steps:
I make sure both files are open in FrameMaker, I put my cursor in the spot I want to make a hyperlink > Right click > Cross Reference
When the window Pops up I make the following selections:
Document: Chpater 6
Source Type: Paragraphs
Paragraph type: Heading1
Paragraphs: Page 7
I select the exact paragraph I want referenced
Format: CH XX, #
When I hit replace I am expecting the text on the screen to say something like "CH06, 3-1 Title" but instead it says "CH07, 3-1 Title"
The link goes to the location I want, it goes right to Chapter 6 but the visible text says Chapter 7 which is wrong. I assume this is happening because someone switched those two chapters.
Does anyone know how to edit what the text says or what I need to change in the switched chapters to make it work correctly. Something else I noticed is that the Document option in the cross reference is saying Chapter 6 with the old title, not the latest up to date title.

I think I may be having the same issue. I'm using Technical Communications version 3. I have a huge FM book composed of many books - over 3,000 pages if it were printed. I'm linking to the FM file in RoboHelp (RH). No broken xrefs in FM, but when I go to RH, there are odd xrefs or missing ones. I keep updating both FM and RH without any success. So, I generated a list of cross-reference markers in FM.
This is what I think is causing this. Even though you're supposed to be able to link to the FM file and if all is ok with the FM book (no errors, no broken xrefs), everything should chug along in RH. But, NO, it doesn't. When I put in cross-references in FM, I do them by the paragraph. But then you can also see the actual marker text, which doesn't always agree with the heading text. This is what RH uses. So, if you're having these issues, check the marker text to make sure it matches the paragraph text.
Below is an example where I had updated the heading, but the marker didn't match. FM didn't care and didn't report a broken cross-reference. RH just displayed the xref heading but it wasn't a link. Very frustrating. I'm looking for a way to get the xref markers to match the paragraph headings.
This is the heading: EContent in the PAC Patron Account
and this is the marker text: 28254:Heading 3: 3M eBooks in the PAC Patron Account - Items Out 768
BTW - I saw some snarky answers - just insecure people who want to show how much they know technically. For me, I just want the *******' tool to work! If I wanted to know all the sausage-making, I'd have been a programmer. I actually like to write and fiddling with RH is just tedious! In my experience, programmers are a dime a dozen; good writers are rare.
Make this a snark-free zone and help novices. Lord knows, Adobe's own documentation just doesn't get it. They tell you what something is but not how to do it! Oh, and the UX in RH is so cluttered and confusing! Do you use a pod or a menu item, what is important enough to get a pod? Why are there all these different ways to set up a project? It's like it was designed by hyped-up, overly-caffeinated people with really bad OCD. It's not about the tool, it's about the writers trying to get their jobs done!

Cross-References coming from Word in FM 7.2

Hi Folks,
I have a problem with the Cross-References. I create an EDD and Read/Write rules, and generate a conversion table. With it I'm converting all the my documentation in MS Word to Structured FM 7,2. It works well, but there two main problems that I can't solve. I spent a lot of time reading the Structure application Developer Guide, but I can't find a solution.
First one is a minor problem that I can solve with a script but, maybe I'm doing something wrong on FM and it is easy to fix on the conversion table. When I apply the conversion table it generate without problems the RootElement, and apply tags for the paragraphs and Character formats, but I can't do that put other tags that are not related with text. I mean, my DTD need this structure:
<book>
<body>
<heading1>xxxxx</heading1>
</body>
</book>
and I obtain it:
<book>
<heading1>xxxxx</heading1>
</book>
I don't know if I can modify Rules, or EDD or Conversion table, to add the intermediate tag when use Structure Current Document
Second one is a blocking one. I generate the XML with the tags and fix any problem on it. It works great and I obtain a XML :
<book><heading1 Id = "i1003066"><bookmark
type = "38548: Heading 1: 1. This is the title"/>This is the title</heading1>
<paragraph>This is the text of the Title <reference Idref = "i1003066" type = "Page"/> and it bla bla bla</paragraph></book>
But when I try to re-open the XML with my structured application I obtain a log error:
"Error at line 17, char 31, Message: ID attribute 'i1003066' was referenced but never declared"
and a warning about cross-references missing (they working before save it as XML). File open and all is fine, except that references are missing and when I try to update the Reference dialog box to find other file is open with this message:
1 Unresolved Cross-References to File: Current
And ask me to find the "Current" file where point the reference. All the references in the document appears missing.
Must I have two set of files, one FM for generate the PDF, and the XML for generate the help with my XLS? It is not possible re-open the XML on Framemaker and don't lost the references?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Van,

That may or may not be true. If the element names are different in the XML (DTD) than FrameMaker (EDD), this is the mechanism by which you translate names. It may be that in this case, the EDD element name is Xref, but the DTD element name is reference.

In this case, I couldn't agree more. Esperanzas, I would recommend that you limit your faith in the conversion process, because there are many variables that will likely get mistranslated. Unless you are willling to do some programming with the FDK to clean up afterwards, I would expect that all cross-references should be recreated manually after import.

Links to FM Cross References do not work in Generated PDFs

Windows XP Professional SP2, FrameMaker 7.0p576, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2.
I have multiple volumes that are intended to ship together. So, for argument's sake, I have Book_1.fm, Book_2.fm, Book_3.fm.
Within Book_2.fm, I create cross-references to Book_2.fm and Book_1.fm.
When I generate the PDF files for all three books (using Frame's Print Book, Printer set to Adobe PDF, Generate Acrobat Data so my bookmarks are generated as links), Book_2.pdf's cross-referenced links to within Book_2.pdf work perfectly. However, Book_2.pdf's cross-references to Book_1.pdf result in the following message:
There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.
The problem occurs whether the books reside independently, as a single combined PDF file, or as a PDF package (single combined and package both generated after the three individual Book_x.pdf files exist).
I have kept all PDF filenames identical (minus the extension) to the FrameMaker .book names.
Thanks for your input.

Sandra,
This is an explanation and NOT a solution. When you create a cross-reference to another file, you have to have the file open. Apparently, Frame sees a file in a different book as just a file; it seems to have no way to know that it is part of a different book. Hence, the link points to a chapter name, not a book name. Again this is just an explanation.
I do not know how, or if there is a way, to do what you want to do, other than edit the links after the PDFs are created, which I am sure is not what you were intending to do.
Maybe the gurus on these forums have a way to do it.
