Error : XSL map generation failed

I am trying to map two XSD and generate the XSL file which will transform from one xml to another.
Source XML
+<root>+
+<Hello>Well</Hello>+
+<World>Thats</World>+
+</root>+
Destination XML
+<root>+
+<property name="Consumer" value="Well"/>+
+<property name="Consumer" value="Thats"/>+
+</root>+
Since the the destination XSD has same element twice, in its XSD it appears only once. So there only one node in the XSL Map tree in the right side of the JDeveloper (version 11.1.1.5.0)
I can only drag lines from either <hello> or <world> from the 1st XSD to the <property> element of the second XSD.
When I changed the XML map's xsl source to match my requirement as follows
     +<xsl:template match="/">+
          +<root>+
          +<ns0:property>+
               +<xsl:attribute name="name">+
                    +<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">Consumer</xsl:text>+
               +</xsl:attribute>+
               +<xsl:attribute name="value">+
                    +<xsl:value-of select="/root/Hello"/>+
               +</xsl:attribute>+
          +</ns0:property>+
          +<ns0:property>+
               +<xsl:attribute name="name">+
                    +<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">Consumer</xsl:text>+
               +</xsl:attribute>+
               +<xsl:attribute name="value">+
                    +<xsl:value-of select="/root/World"/>+
               +</xsl:attribute>+
          +</ns0:property>+
          +</root>+
     +</xsl:template>+
+</xsl:stylesheet>+
It works when I test the xsl but I can not go back to the design mode, it is showing the following error
Error : XSL map generation failed
Error: This node is already mapped, repeating nodes not supported :
I am not able to map (drag lines) any more due this error. Please suggest how to create repeating nodes in the destination XSD

The XSL Map error is only in Design mode. Runtime shouldn't generate an error.

Notes on the Mapper
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28211/xslt_mpr.htm
When you map duplicate elements in the XSLT Mapper, the style sheet becomes invalid and you cannot work in the Design view. The Log Window shows the following error messages when you map an element with a duplicate name:
Error: This Node is Already Mapped  :
+"/ns0:rulebase/for-each/ns0:if/ns0:atom/ns0:rel"+
Error: This Node is Already Mapped  :
+"/ns0:rulebase/for-each/ns0:if/ns0:atom/choice_1/ns0:ind"+
Error: This Node is Already Mapped  :
+"/ns0:rulebase/for-each/ns0:if/ns0:atom/choice_1/ns0:var"+
The workaround is to give each element a unique name.

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to edit an XSL file using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.4 and it gives me the error "XSL Map generation failed. Please use the source editor to correct the problems and return to the design editor".
    In the Mapper Message Log i find these lines.

    Any help / pointers is very much appreciated.
    Regards,

    Perhaps better late than never...
    This is a limitation in JDeveloper that it cannot render an XSL in design/mapper view when it contains these features of XSL. Pretty much 100% of AIA transformations fall into this category.

  • VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation.

    I am getting the "VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation" error when deploying a mapping. This mapping was previously working fine. As part of a re-factoring effort, for all the underlying tables and views, we replace 2 existing columns with a new column. All the objects were successfully re-imported and synchronized in the mapping. The mapping is using Mapping Input Parameter, Lookups, Expression Transformations, Splitter, Set Operator, Source & Target Tables. All these transformation were part of the earlier working version of the mapping.
    On doing validation within the mapping, I get a success message followed by 4 warning for the Lookup Condition on key Lookup does not contain a complete unique key. Before the re-factoring effort, I was getting the same 4 warning messages, however the mapping was executing correctly.
    When I do Generate within the mapping, I get the following message:
    Code cannot be generated.
    Click the message tab for details.
    In the Design Center, when I do a validation on the mapping I get the following error:

    Hi,
    I think your mapping is corrupted by converting two columns to one. The owb has always a problem if you change the structure of a table which is bound to a table operator. The way to avoid this is to drop the table operator after changing the table in the table editor and recreate it with the changed table definition.
    Make a test: select the new attribut in the table operator and look left on the configuration window. To which table and attribute it's bound?

  • Disk utility gives "Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size"

    I am getting the following error when running Disk Utility (under ML) on an exteral USB hard drive:
    Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size.
    I get thsi when I ask Disk Utility to "Repair Disk" at the top level of the disk hierarchy (i.e. not on one of the partitions within the disk but on the disk itself).  I was not getting this error with Lion on the same disk before I upgraded from Lion to ML.
    It seems like a bug in ML.  I found websites where they suggest that you just run Lion's Disk Utility and it will show the disk to be fine.
    Any thoughts?

    So, I finally seemed to have resolved things with the Seagate 4TB Firewire external drive.  If you Google about, you will find a thread on Seagate's own support forum that describes how to disable the sleep function on the drive.  You CANNOT ALLOW THE DRIVE TO SLEEP WHILE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAC.
    After a lot of reading, here's what I think is happening: the drive goes to sleep, after some period of inactivity, and when you shutdown your Mac, OS X tries to write something to the drive as part of the dismount / disconnect / shutdown process.  That fails in some manner, leaving the drive 'corrupted' at the filesystem or partition level.
    Then, on the next boot-up, Mountain Lion tells you that it cannot repair the drive and it mounts as read only.  Your only fix at that point is to re-partition / re-format and start over (which is big fun with 3TB of data to copy back on to the drive).
    If you prevent the drive from sleeping, whenever it's connected to the MacBook, then the above process doesn't occur and voila, the drive just works.  So far, I haven't had any problems with about a week of starting / shutting down my MacBook connected to the offending drive (translation: I was going to return the drive, but the problem is clearly with Mac OS X Mountain Lion).

  • OWB 11.2 internal error during mapping generation

    Dear all,
    Ever since switching to OWB 11.2 I have been sporadically receiving unexplicable errors during mapping deployment. It only happens when I generate more than 1 mapping simultaneously, and it appears to be completely random. One or more mappings will fail during the generation phase of the deployment with an 'internal error', after which I get the option to continue deployment of those mappings that did generate correctly. What I usually do next is trying to deploy the failed mappings again, which always works - the internal error does not reoccur. But it seems to be that this second generation does not work properly either.
    For example, today I had to redeploy my entire set of mappings, due to a server change. Of the 60 mappings I had, about 5 failed with the forementioned error. (Sadly I can't include the exact error here since the job logs in the control center do not record this failure to generate, it looks like the failed mappings never were included in the job in the first place.) One of them I deployed aftewards, and found the query in the pacakge to look like:
        INSERT
        /*+ APPEND  */
        INTO
          "SA_BETMD_01" "SA_BETMD_01"
          ("DEWNKNR",
          "DEBTMCE",
          "DEBTMOM",
          "DEBTMO2",
          "DEBTMO3")
          (SELECT
    /*+ NO_MERGE */
    /* DRBETMD_RS.INOUTGRP1 */
      "DRBETMD_RS"."DEWNKNR" "DEWNKNR",
      "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMCE" "DEBTMCE",
      "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM" "DEBTMOM",
      NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO2", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO2.OGRP.DEBTMO2: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO2",
      NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO3", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO3.OGRP.DEBTMO3: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO3"
    FROM
      "SRC"."DRBETMD_RS"@"SRCDBP@SAFE_SRC_PRD_RET"  "DRBETMD_RS"
        ;However, generating the preview code in OWB results in a more correct and complete version of the code:
        INSERT
        /*+ APPEND  */
        INTO
          "SA_BETMD_01" "SA_BETMD_01"
          ("DEWNKNR",
          "DEBTMCE",
          "DEBTMOM",
          "DEBTMO2",
          "DEBTMO3",
          "DEBTMO4")
          (SELECT
    /*+ NO_MERGE */
    /* DRBETMD_RS.INOUTGRP1 */
      "DRBETMD_RS"."DEWNKNR" "DEWNKNR",
      "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMCE" "DEBTMCE",
      "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM" "DEBTMOM",
      NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO2", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO2.OGRP.DEBTMO2: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO2",
      NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO3", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO3.OGRP.DEBTMO3: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO3",
      NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO4", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO4.OGRP.DEBTMO4: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO4"
    FROM
      "SRC"."DRBETMD_RS"@"SRCDBP@SAFE_DGN_PRD_RET"  "DRBETMD_RS"
        ;The same goes for other packages, all of which crash due trying to insert NULL values in a mandatory column! (In case, DEBTMO4.)
    Funny enough, if I generate the mapping again a bit later - without making any changes to the mapping - the code is complete and everything works properly.
    Does anyone else ever had this problem? My main problem is that I can't just reproduce this problem, so I can't exactly report it as a bug and expect it to be solved...
    Kind regards,
    Kurt Geens

    Good morning Dave,
    I do mean during deployment. As you probably know all too well, the deployment of a package is split in two parts: generation of the code, and the actual deployment. The internal error occurs during that first part - the generation of code. The exact steps I went through when the error occured are the following:
    1) I selected about 15 mappings, and chose to 'replace' these mappings in the database. The code was generated, with 4 mappings having the forementioned 'internal error'. After pressing the play button the deployment of the 11 remaining packages continued without problem.
    2) Within the same session, I selected the 4 failed mappings, and chose to 'replace' these again. The generation and deployment was succesful - no internal errors occured.
    3) I exited OWB and started a daily workflow process. One of the mappings that had an internal error in step 1 crashed with a 'cannot insert null into' error.
    4) I restarted OWB, opened the mapping, chose to generate the code, and compared the generation result with the package code in the database. This resulted in the difference mentioned in my original mail.
    5) I deployed (replace) the mapping once more, and verified the code in the database. This time the code was complete (no missing column).
    Regards,
    Kurt

    This is one of the most peculiar/anoying OWB error. Log out of OWB client without commiting and login back again. Try to generate/deploy the mapping once again, the error might not be there.
    There are no concrete steps that needs to be taken to avoid such errors.

  • Error in mapping generation when using a data rule

    I hope someone can point me in the right direction on this one. I've searched all over but can't find a similar problem anywhere.
    This is OWB Client 10.2.0.1.31 and repository 10.2.0.1.0 in a 10g SE database . I have a table on which I have defined a data rule, which is deployed in the database along with its corresponding error table. The rule I have used is the built-in IS_DATE and it is applied to a VARCHAR2 field that will store a date in a specific format. I have defined the table as an operator in a mapping, and set the IS_DATE data rule action to MOVE TO ERROR. When I try to deploy the mapping I get the follwoing errors in the log:
    Warning ORA-06550: line 244, column 4:
    PL/SQL: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
    Warning ORA-06550: line 221, column 3:
    PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
    Warning ORA-06550: line 3112, column 132:
    PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "DD" when expecting one of the following:
    . ( ) , * @ % & | = - + < / > at in is mod remainder not
    range rem => .. <an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >= <= <>
    and or like LIKE2_ LIKE4_ LIKEC_ between || multiset member
    SUBMULTISET_
    The symbol "." was substituted for "DD" to continue.
    When I look at the generated code, there are lines like this one:
    not (wb_to_date("table"."column", Month dd, RRRR, Mon dd, RRRR, MM-DD-RRRR, MM/DD/RRRR, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY/MM/DD) is not null
    Why is OWB not putting single quotes around the data formats from the built-in data rule? Is there something fundamental I'm missing in my warehouse model?

    Hi
    This is bug 5195315, which looks to be fixed in a 10.2 patch. If you can pick up the latest 10.2 patch there is like 3 years of fixes worth picking up.

  • XSL-Maps: "Elements to Ignore Config File" broken

    Hi,
    We use Jdev Studio Edition 10.1.3.3.0 build 4157 in a SOA project.
    The JDev XSL mapper displays only simply xslt structures.
    Often, the xsl map generation fails after manually editing the code.
    This applies to 100% valid xsl, sometimes restarting JDev helps.
    According to:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11036_01/doc.1013/e10295/xslt_mpr.htm#CFAIBFFJ ,
    elements can be ignored to have JDev display a partial xsl map.
    However, that does not work as described in the documentation.
    Elements within <elements-to-ignore> still cause map generation to fail!
    How can we get JDev to ignore code parts it cannot display?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. When I created extensions.xml (as advised by you) and tried specifying it as User Defined Extension Functions Config file, I get the following error:
    Invalid User Extension Functions Config File
    Invalid value 'object' for attribute:'as' line 5 column 52
    i.e. the following line:
    <function name="extensions:getMSPDate" as="object">
    Any pointers on what will be the correct value for attribute 'as' for element 'function'?
    Also, what is the default namespace being used in the extensions.xml?
    Is there a link for more documentation on the format for extensions.xml?

  • Seagate external drive: Partition map check failed because no slices were found

    I have a 3TB Seagate Expansion external backup drive connected to my Retina Macbook Pro via USB. The disk will not eject from a regular Finder window - it will only eject from Disk Utility. Backups seem to otherwise be running fine. I tried to verify/repair the disk in Disk Utility, and I got the following error: "Partition map check failed because no slices were found." I am able to verify/repair the partition without any problem, and no errors are found.
    I'm concerned about relying on a backup drive that may be heading south. Here is the output from diskutil info:

    @ Allan Eckert: Unfortunately, reformatting is out of the question, I have 5 years of work on this!
    @ Loner T: Yes, the firmware did successfully upgrade after router reboot and a bit of troubleshoot.
    Thanks for the quick replies. Keep 'em coming!

  • Partition map check failed because no slices were found for WD My Book 1140 media

    Have been using a WD My Book 3TB HD which was partitioned into three 1TB partitions for almost a year.  Now when I try to access it via my MacBook Pro I am getting the following error message "Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting; Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found".  Does anybody have any suggestions on how to repair this problem and salvage information stored on it?

    I am also experiencing this problem.

    "Partition map check failed becuase no slices were found" error when I attempt to verify or repair with Disk Utility.
