About expansion not working

Hello,
I compiled a small thesaurus to the knowledge base:
ctxkbtc -user dcenter/dcenter -name THES_PLACE
It contains:
GERMAN
USE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
UF FRG
BT EUROPE
NT BAVARIAN
I have 2 record, 1 containing GERMAN, 1 containing BAVARIAN.
Field is indexed with a context index, and the index is synchronized.
I'm using 8.1.7.2 english.
Using an ABOUT operator, I always get 1 hit.
SQL> select count(*) from file_info where contains (places, 'about(BAVARIAN)') > 0;
The (9i) doc says:
When you augment the existing knowledge base with your new thesaurus, you query with the ABOUT operator which implicitly expands to synonyms and narrower terms.
How can I get the ABOUT query to expand to the narrower term in 8.1.7.2? Is this a bug, do I have to upgrade, or am I missing something?
Thanks

Please ask questions about Oracle Text (formerly interMedia text) in the Oracle Text forum. You will get a quicker, more expert answer there.

  • Everytime i close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. 6 times.

    browsing normally, close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. i click ok. then another comes up. i click ok. 6 times total this error message comes up, every time i close firefox. really annoying.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded

    which are queries based on the terms related to politics according to the sample thesaurus
    when i issue this
    select * from phrases where matches(p,'politics')>0;
    I only get the stored queries starting with rt or syn and the queries containing the exact word politics.
    The ABOUT operator does not match is any case although it is supposed to match .The version of Oracle is used is 9.2.0.1.

    The Oracle Text reference says:
    "ABOUT queries give the best results when your query is formulated with proper case.This is because the normalization of your query is based on the knowledge
    catalog which is case-sensitive."
    The queries in most cases work fine only
    if the themes are in lower case.
    The developer actually is expected to guess what "proper case" exactly means.The manual should be more specific in this topic.
    Also the mechanism of expansion in about() queries is
    not well defined in detail. It is written the queries
    are expanded according to SYN and NT terms but it doesnt expand to all of the related terms.
    for example in the CTXRULE index
    POLITICS ABOUT expansions are
    ANIMAL RIGHTS (nt of POLITICAL ADVOCANCY level 1)
    ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS (nt of POLITICAL ADVOCANCY level 2)
    ANIMAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT (nt of POLITICAL ADVOCANCY level 2)
    ANIMAL-RIGHTS ACTIVISTS (nt of POLITICAL ADVOCANCY level 2)

    Does anyone know the algorithm behind the expansion?

  • Anyone have new information on what to do about Flash not working on Mac pc's?

    I read all of this thread and wondered if anyone has made any progress along these questions?
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3056331?start=0&tstart=0
    Work arounds?  Anything useful would be really appreciated.

    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Getting a 120gb ipod for Christmas, worried about it not working on xp sp2.

    I'm getting a new 120gb ipod for Christmas, I checked all the requirements on the back of the box before we bought it of course. I asked the person who served us with it wether not having XP service pack 3 would be a problem, they said no. Anyway I am very reluctant to install sp3 due to the ammount of computers it's written off, I don't have the cash to sort it out if it ruins mine and I rely on my PC a lot.
    Will I encounter any problems running it on XP home SP2? My PC is otherwise up to date and running fine. I have itunes 8 installed and USB ports at both the front and rear of the machine, I've heard it's better to connect ipods via the rear port?
    Anyway I've done a lot of reading on the web and I've found some sites saying SP3 and some saying SP2 or later, so I'm confused to say the least.
    Help?

    I have a very similar problem.
    I have a TC and and AX as well. After many hours of work I finally got the network working properly. I guess they didn't Q/A the doc with a WinXP user
    Anyway, I've spent at least 3 hours already trying to get the &$^% printer working. I've tried several suggestions I found on the forum(s) including using Bonjour, but none of them seem to work. The Printer is an HP LaserJet 1100. I have the latest drivers for the printer, as well as Bonjour 1.05 and the latest stuff for the TC and AX. I just can't seem to get it going.
    Heeeelllpppp !

  • Not Working: Enable Reader to Save the Document

    I'm having a problem that's mentioned in the first post on this knowledgebase thread: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/3D/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w.html
    I have Acrobat Pro 8.0 and Acrobat Reader 8.0 installed, so I should not be having this issue. After I've enabled reader to save the document within Reader, and I test it within Reader 8.0, I get this message: 
    Outgoing Message Notification
    An email message with "documentname.pdf" attached has been given to your default email application. If your email application is configured to send email automatically on a schedule, the email will b sent automatically.
    If not, you will need to send the message manually.
    But my default email application (Outlook) doesn't open an email up. I've checked the "internet properties" for my browser, and Outlook is set as the default email application, so I'm not sure why it's not working. PLEASE HELP!!!

    As Graffiti said, I am just trying to help you from going down a frustrating path. You can enable Reader Right's in Acrobat (if you designed the form in LiveCycle Designer, you may have to follow a slightly different path) to allow the full form to be saved. However, you can have the form data (XML or FDF) submitted and that does not require the save step. The issue with the save is that you are limited to 500 uses by the EULA (looks like your form was a general use form and you would likely exceed the limit).
    The submitted data can be imported to the form and so you can easily have the same results as getting the full form with data.
    The problem with e-mail submission is that it is dependent on the client machine, something you have no control over unless you are in a controlled environment and the machines can be controlled as a result. MAPI is the Windows interface that allows other programs to access e-mail. There are at least 2 versions of it and many folks do not activate it. Thus, those without MAPI activated would flood you with the complaints about it not working. You are welcome to try to set up instructions to tell folks how to activate it, but they would likely have something else to say to you or simply get lost -- a good way to lose business. If you do not need the data formatted, you can have it submitted to cgi-mail or formmail that may be on your server. In that case you will have to have the data formatted in an HTML form (one of the options in Acrobat forms, not sure about Designer). Then the data would be submitted just like on a web form to the mail script. These scripts require hidden fields to know where to send the mail and such.
    What I meant to say is that it is unfortunate that the manual suggests e-mail when it is not a good method to use for form submission. We address this issue 3 or 4 times a week with folks. There are several forum topics that relate to your question, all saying pretty much the same. Sorry if you do not like the answer, but that is the way it is. Use e-mail submission if you wish, but be prepared for complaints. At least you know why you will be getting them. Apparently some MAC users have some similar problems with e-mail submission. I have no idea about UNIX users in general. It even sounds like you don't have things set up correctly on your e-mail and you are expecting it to work for other folks? That's the problem!

  • Help menu not working

    Hi,
    the help menu is not working and it will not remove the little box where you are suppose to turn off the message about it not working.
    That means I have to boot out and start over in the middle of working, unable to save.
    Is there a way to turn the help menu off, or make it work properly?

    That doesn't sound like what I see when I try the Help facility.
    What system are you running? 
    On a PC it just puts up a 404 type web browser error that indicates that the requested resource () is not available.
    Seems a little unpolished, but I suppose it's accurate.

  • Save-sessions-enabled not working

    WLS 8.1SP4
    EAR file with WAR file.
    CLuster of 2 managed servers.
    In-Memory Replication.
    save-sessions-enabled set to true in weblogic.xml
    save-sessions-enmabled doesnt seem to work. I log into the web app, do work, redeploy the webapp, and the next click in teh web app forces me to log-in again, i.e. my session is lost.
    Sam Pullara had a comment in 2003 about it not working with replicated sessions until SP2. I'm on SP4.
    Any ideas before I raise a case?
    Many Thanks,
    Graham.

    I have checked the support site and this is still a problem in SP3. A pach was available for SP3.
    Apparently, you get the problem if you deploy the app with context-root = '/'.
    I have raised a case to see if a patch is available for SP4.

  • As2 fscommand not working

    Basically I want to use fscommand to write a local file. I think there may be some issues -- 
    variable = "1235";
    path = "file.txt";
    fscommand ("save", path);
    textbox1.text = "HI"; //just so i know it is getting to this point.
    One, does this work on vista? I am running vista so that may be why its not working.
    Two, I also heard rumors about it not working in IE7 or higher, is that true?
    Three, I also have read that it only works when running the swf file in flash projector, is that true?

    If I understand you correctly, I think the 'shared object' might be what you need.
    The AS2 Language Reference in F8 starts off like this:
    "The SharedObject class is used to read and store limited amounts of data on a user's computer. Shared objects offer real-time data sharing between objects that are persistent on the user's computer. Local shared objects are similar to browser cookies. ....."
    hope that helps.

  • Bluetooth not working - T61 - PLEASE HELP :(

    I read a few of other threads about bluetooth not working on T61.
    What I tried:
    Enabling the bluetooth adapter from BIOS (was already enabled)
    No light showing up on the front of the laptop (turns on very briefly when I turn the laptop on)
    Tried fn+f5 and it wont turn on (wi fi is). 
    I installed hotkey driver, rebooted a few times, still nothing. 
    When installing bluetooth driver, it says the device couldn't be found. 
    I used bluetooth before, then I reinstalled windows 7 and it stopped working. 
    Any ideas?

    I got the same problem and it seems like Lenovo just don't care about it. I've already installed all the updates from Lenovo and Windows and newest Bluetooth drivers from Broadcom....still nothing.

  • WLAN not working after v30 update on N95

    I saw a previous thread about WLAN not working on the N96 after update.
    I can now confirm that WLAN is also bugged for the N95-1 after firmware update to v30.
    It tries connecting, then after a few seconds, I always get the message "WLAN: Unable to connect. WLAN network not found"
    This did not happen a few minutes before the update. Last firmware version was the v22 (latest one before v30)
    Has any fix been found? My main usage for my phone is for the wifi, and without it I can't do much

    Nokia is the host of this forum, however the forum operates and functions with the participation of common folk, users from all over the world that either share passion for Nokia or are looking for support and answers from other community members...if you want to complain to Nokia there is a : Contact us - button on top right of this page...if you want to try to find answers patience sometimes is a virtue....now the issue of untrusted software, there are applications and sometimes themes that you have installed on your memory card/mass memory that will give that message when you go to application manager it will list the apps that are installed and that are not installed on your device, you can either install them manually or remove them from your phone, the next time you restart your phone you should have no problems with those messages. now the WLAN issue i am not sure about and I am almost certain it has nothing to do with your untrasted software messages.
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Another spotlight not working at all

    I have tried all suggestions from the other post about spotlight not working at all but archive and install. Is there any other way to fix it besides that? What are other people doing to fix theirs?

    I have just fixed the same problem on my Powermac, i was not even getting a spinning wheel when trying to search. It is a bit more involved than an archive and install but much quicker, i wouldn't recomend it if you're not familiar with the contents of install packages a little bit. here's the steps:
    1. Download and open Pacifist from macupdate.com and after the countdown click not yet and open the install packages from your OSX DVD (there is a specific button for this function).
    2. Use the find tool to search for all spotlight files (just search for spotlight)
    3. The list of files includes all references to spotlight found on the install dvd including language packs and applications so only the top 22 item are needed. These are the files in the Base system and essensials packages. although if you just did a full install then there is no real harm in doing the language variations etc too..
    4. Select the files that you want to install from the search drawer and click the install button. You will need an admin password to complete this.
    5. I didn't need to restart but you may want to delete the preferences file at ~/library/preferences/c.apple.spotlight.plist, and repair the permissions before restarting anyway.
    Do be careful that your not writing over updated versions of mail or other applicaions that are in the packages, i would advise having a good look through the search results and only installing those components in the base system and essensials, these were the top 22 on my DVD.
    Obviously this is at your own risk but it worked perfectly for me. Good luck

  • When Firefox 3.5.16 is opened in OS 10.6 on Mac, the bookmarks and history are missing as well as back/forward arrows not working.

    I have a laptop running Firefox 3.5.16 and Mac OS 10.6.5. I used my computer last night without any problem. This afternoon, I had a USB modem plugged in when I started my machine and at first Firefox said it couldn't connect. After removing the USB modem, I restarted without it in the machine, then connected to the Internet and started Firefox. I had a Firefox error message about bookmarks not working due to another application using them. I checked the troubleshooting pages, but for the most part they applied to a Windows machine.

    I finally found a solution. In about:config, under browser.sessionhistory.max_entries, I changed 5 to 20. End of problem.

  • Zoom-to-fit Not Working in Preview, & other features, too.

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, and have since found that Preview is not working properly. This is something I use almost every day, & it not working has created a real disruption to my work-flow. I've noticed that others have complained about this, and have been doing so since at least October of 2009! Apple has obviously not addressed this, as I've done all the updates, and still it doesn't work. The Zoom-to-fit won't work, altho it sometimes will when there's only a little bit of space left, & sometimes when the image is too big, it may reduce. However, the "automatically resize" doesn't work either, and some other features work erratically as well. Sometimes when I change the resolution of the picture, it will zoom to fit, & sometimes well, so many things don't work, or do, but so rarely, I can't even remember all the instances.
    Does anyone actually have some kind of work around, or solution? I've done the trash all the preferences, etc., which didn't do anything, and am stumped at this point, thanks...

    does Apple really know about this, and are just ignoring it or are they working on a fix, or ?
    Surely you understand that you are not talking to Apple here, just other users like yourself. Whether Apple knows about it depends on whether you or someone else has used the bugreporter or feedback channel to tell them. As for what action they are taking, nobody here is ever going to be able to give you an answer.
    Yes, I do understand that, and my question was in response to being told that
    "Preview in SL is broken", by one of the "experts" when I posted my own thread about it not working properly. To me, that response implied this was a known condition, & that this person knew that Apple knows, & since this was all he said, w/no other advice, it further implied that a fix would come out whenever it will, and there's no use in pursuing it further. So, my question was to anyone else to affirm or deny that is or isn't the case.
    Plus, I've read that in fact, some employees of Apple do contribute to the discussions (as they surely should, if for no other reason, that what I just spoke of, to let us know when an issue is a known one, thus nothing else can be done until Apple releases a fix; thus preventing users from wasting time &/or screwing something up worse, attempting to fix it)
    Does Adobe Reader provide a possible replacement for Preview for your purposes?
    Don't know, I'd rather not have to open it for all the times I would simply use Preview, why have it as part of the OS if it doesn't work? I'd think Apple would fix it, or not show features it can't do. That said, your question is actually the first response I've seen yet, that at least is a possible work around, thank you.
    (another thread on the same issue was marked "answered" & closed, despite no one having offered up a fix),
    How a thread is marked is totally up to the person who started it. If you have a problem with how it was done, you need to take it up with that person I think.
    I will, but it's not the person who closed the thread, as that was done nearly two months after it was marked "Solved". And yes, it could have been archived due to no further comments, although we've no way of knowing, since there's no date of archiving shown. And that is what I'm wondering, did Apple just close it, to avoid the topic being taken to the top of the list? If this feature is broken, why haven't they fixed it, now nearly a year later???
    And I have personally reported this in several feedback forms. I refuse to sign up for the developers group, just to file a bug report, since I would have to answer all the questions in the application form without knowing what the heck I was talking about, since I am hardly a developer/programmer, techno-geek, etc., and shouldn't have to jump through all those hoops, just to report to Apple that something's screwed up! I can send bug reports via Safari w/o signing up as an advanced computer engineer, why should I have to for reporting the same with Preview? If Apple chooses to ignore feedback reports, as well as their discussion boards, then what real customer service would that be?
