Also while try to edit the analysis (Net revenue per minute (ILD\/NLD) from catalog , i am getting the above error .The Reports were fine till yesterday , What could be the issue ?
Thanks

Hi Devarasu ,
Yeah .. I'm aware of this bug of 11.1.1.5 , but I'm puzzeled by the sudden impact of it . i.e , It didn't gave me the error while creating/editing the file yesterday and looked fine on dashboard as well .
However , If there's no alternative other than applying patch , then please let me know the patch ID .
And applying this patch means , just overwriting some configure files in the OBIEE home folder sructure ? or somthing else ?
Thanks

12779543 DASHBOARD ERROR CATALOG OBJECT SCHEMA VALIDATION FAILED AGFIXBO2:E

I'm receiving the above-referenced error on OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0. I'm only seeing it when I try to access OOTB segments. I haven’t seen it on any customized reports.
Can anyone shed light on this issue? I know it existed in version 11.1.1.5.0 but I thought it was fixed with the latest.
Thank you,

You are right as per the ID 1412748.1 this bug was fixed.
Check with Oracle, that may help you.

Catalog object privilege validation failed for user.

Hi,
I'm getting following error after adding the HTML tags in dashboard 11g.
How to set the privileges?..Kindly let me know.Thank you.
Error Massage:
Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /users/User1/_portal/page 1.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup. Dashboard contains custom HTML tags as part of static text.

Hi User,
Go to Settings -> Administrators -> Manage Privileges -> 'Answers'
Here you can view - "Save Content with HTML Markup" next to it you will see 'Presentation Server Administrators'
Click it and Change for 'Everyone'
And, Save changes. Restart BI Services now you can add the contents and it will not popup any error messages.
Thank you.

XML Schema validator fails to load XML Schema from URL

I'm trying to validate an XML document against a set of XML Schemas and the parser seems to freak out: even though all the schemas are referred to in the XML and are properly recognized by Schemas field in XML document properties, I get warnings (multiple
instances):
Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed
Cannot resolve the 'schemaLocation' attribute
The schema referenced from this location in your document contains errors
The warning locations are also seemingly random - errors in schema locations are reported on closing tags inside XML or on whitespaces, and so on.
The first warning (System.Net.WebPermission) suggests it has something to do with access to remote schemas, but all the necessary remote schemas are visible in XML Schema Set editor for the document. I also enabled downloading of XML schemas in XML text
editor options.

Hi Tomasz,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this issue is related to the XML Schemas, so we will move this case to the XML forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=xmlandnetfx
, you will get better support.

Schema Validation failing

HI Experts,
below is my schema record
<test>asas ss4s</test>, this is my pattern type.
when i try to validate the instance, it is failing for the space between two words.
How can I pass this message..Needed very urgently please.
Thanks in Advance.

A string is a pretty trivial thing to validate. Is the type set to xs:string? That's probably all you need.
If you received the schema from someone else, you need to ask them why spaces are disallowed.
Also, it would be helpful to post the actual error you received, without context, there's no way anyone can answer this.

Runtime Schema Validation Failing for Mediator Composite

Hi,
I am trying an implementation where I am checking the option 'Validate XSD' available in the mediator.However when I am testing the composite the following exception is coming:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.tip.mediator.service.validation.ValidatorFactory.getSchemaFromComponentModel(ValidatorFactory.java:146)
at oracle.tip.mediator.service.validation.Validator
A similar null pointer exception used to come for 10g version where on applying a particular patch the exception had gone.But again a similar exception is coming for 11g.
What can be a possible solution?
Thanks.

Hi - you might want to hold off on testing this XSD validation feature as we have moved this capability to the infrastructure service level since this tech preview was released.

Processing Schema Validation error in BPM?

Hi all,
We have a file to IDOC scenario where if the schema validation fails on the file adapter sender agreement, we want to pull the filename and send it in an error email. So, we are talking about the adapter specific message attribute "Filename".
unfortunately, this does not seem to be available as a container element for alert catagories in ALRTCATDEF. So, we are starting to look into using BPM to send a email via the email adapter. However, since the validation happens prior to BPM being called I am at a bit of a loss. Any ideas on how to get the email with the filename out to the suport group would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Getting schema validation working in Eclipse with Coherence 3.7.1.0

Just wondered if anyone had got schema validation to work in Eclipse (3.5 - Galileo) for Coherence 3.7.1.0?
The Coherence developer docs show that you should add sections like this:
<pof-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config
coherence-pof-config.xsd">
However, if I use that "shortened" form (for cache, pof, etc. configs) Eclipse gives a warning "No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema) detected for the document." and the schema validation fails to work (i.e. no "auto pop-ups" when entering content, and rubbish content is gladly accepted.)
In Coherence 3.7.0, I'd used the following "extended" form (note the longer "schemaLocation") to get things working correctly:
<pof-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config
http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.0/coherence-pof-config.xsd">
Also note that entering the "http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.0/coherence-pof-config.xsd" in a web browser opens the xsd, as you'd expect.
Now...
I'm looking at the PofAnnotationSerializer in 3.7.1.0 and the "auto indexing" option. The declaration in my pof file for it fails as the "class" (or fully-qualified java.lang.Class version) in the "init-params" section isn't valid. If I look at the xsd on the url above, this is indeed the case, that option does not appear.
However, if I look at the POF xsd in the coherence.jar file for 3.7.1.0, the "class" option has been added, and has a newer 'version="1.1"' added to it's schema declaration. So I therefore tried to point my "extended" declaration to point to " http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.1/coherence-pof-config.xsd", in order to get schema validation to work in Eclipse with this new schema. Unfortunately that url doesn't exist - you get a "Content Server Request Failed" error.
So, I guess my question is, is there a way to get myself pointed at the 1.1 versions of the xsd's so I can have schema validation working in Ecliipse? Or is there another workaround (did a bit of Googling, but that mainly seemed to be people switching validation off to simply get rid of the error...)
Cheers,
Steve

Cheers, Dave.
I had in fact had a try at extracting the xsd and pointing to it directly, and that did indeed work (had to do this following the same steps shown below using an "entry" in the XML Catalog.)
I had a look around at some of the other "entries" in Eclipse by default and noticed that they actually refer to xsd's directly within the jars, hence saving the extraction step and keeping screw-ups down to a minimum; a bit of playing around to get the syntax right and I finally managed to get it working.
For those who are interested (NB. my Coherence 3.7.1.0 install is in a directory "c:\coherence3.7"), the steps are:
In Eclipse, Go to Window->Preferences->XML->XML Catalog. Then create a "User Specified Entry".
In the "Location", add (without the quotes): "jar:file:/C:/coherence3.7/coherence/lib/coherence.jar!/coherence-pof-config.xsd"
In the "Key Type", add (without the quotes): "Namespace Name"
In the "Key", add (without the quotes): "http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
The schema validation now works fine. Eclipse shows no warnings/errors, and the auto-complete and validation are fully functional.
Still, it would be nice to get the "1.1" urls updated to point to the schemas on the Oracle site, to avoid all our developers from having to make these changes (and of course avoid them pointing at an older, out-of-date local install of coherence.)
Cheers,
Steve

Schema Validation failure in SOA Suite 11.1.1.6.0 but not in 11.1.1.7.0

I have a composite that is deployed on both a SOA Suite 11.1.1.6.0 and 11.1.1.7.0 server.
The composite exposes a service that my application subscribes to and sends messages to so the BPMN process can handle the request.
This works fine in 11.1.1.7.0. However, in the older version, when the message gets sent out, I'm getting the error shown below.
I've made sure that Schema Validation is disabled on all of the endpoints, but that doesn't appear to have any affect. Any thoughts?

Payload Validation failing for EBM

Hi,
I have a composite which takes input based on a simple XSD.
Inside the composite the input is mapped to Sales Order EBM and this EBM is sent as input to other composite.
For data validation purpose, I switched on Payload Validation for this composite in Weblogic EM.
The input data validation works fine but it's throwing follwing error while invoking composite which accepts EBM as input.
<fault>
<bpelFault>
<faultType>0</faultType>
<remoteFault>
<part name="summary">
<summary>oracle.fabric.common.FabricInvocationException: Schema validation failed for message part payload. Please ensure at the message sender level that the data sent is schema compliant.</summary>
</part>
<part name="detail">
<detail>Element 'ProcessSalesOrderFulfillment' not expected.</detail>
</part>
<part name="code">
<code>null</code>
</part>
</remoteFault>
</bpelFault>
</fault>
The payload validation error is occuring for all composites which accepts EBM as input. It picks the attribute name just after the header and says element not expected.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi

Please ensure that you have created EBS properly, verify all the datatypes of the elements in input XSD & EBO schema. And also verify whether EBM header is reflecting properly.
One more thing you should able to navigate from EBS to EBM, EBM to EBO then only you can assume you have done all things correctly. If not reconstruct EBS, EBM & EBO with valid request & response messages.

List data validation failed when creating a new list item but does not fail when editing an existing item

Dear SharePoint Experts,
Please help.
Why does my simple formula work in Excel but not-work in SharePoint?
Why does this formula...
=IF([Request Type]="Review",(IF(ISBLANK([Request Date]),FALSE,TRUE)),TRUE)
...work in Excel but fail when I try to use it in SharePoint?
The intent of this formula is the following...
If the field "Request Type" has the value "Review" and the field "Request Data" is blank then show FALSE, otherwise show TRUE.
SharePoint saves the formula, but when a list item is saved where the formula is implemented, (under List Settings, List Validation), SharePoint does not, say anything other than that the formula failed.
Note that the "list data validation failed" error only happens when I am creating a new item-- the formula above works just fine when one is trying to Save on the edit form.
Can you help?
Thanks.
-- Mark Kamoski

Dear Jason,
I appreciate your efforts.
However, it seems to me that this statement of yours is not correct...
"If it meet the validation formula, then you can new or edit the item, otherwise, it will throw the 'list data validation failed' error, it is by design".
I believe this is NOT the answer for the following reasons.
When I create a new item and click Save, the validation error is "list data validation failed".
When I edit an existing item and click Save, the validation error is "my custom error message" and this is, I believe, the way it needs to work each time.
I think, at the core, the error my formula does not handle some condition of null or blank or other default value.
I tried a forumla that casts the date back to a string, and then checked the string for a default value, but that did not work.
I tried looking up the Correlation ID in the ULS when "list data validation failed" occurs, but that gave no useful information because, even though logging was set to Verbose, the stack trace in the error log was truncated and did not given any
good details.
However, it seems to me that SharePoint 2013 is not well-suited for complex validation rules, because...
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation (NOT column-level validation) allows only 1 input for all the multi-field validation formulas in a given list-- so, if I had more than 1 multi-field validation rule to implement on a given list, it would need to be packed
into that single-line-of-code forumla style, like Excel does. That is not practice to write, debug, or maintain.
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation only allows 1 block of text for all such multi-field validation rules. So that will not work because I would have something like "Validation failed for one or more of the following reasons-- withdrawal cannot exceed
available balance, date-of-birth cannot be after date-of-death,... etc". That will not work for me.
The real and awesome solution would simply be enhancing SP 2013 so that column-level validation forumlas are able to reference other columns.
But, for now, my workaround solution is to use JavaScript and jQuery, hook the onclick handler on the Save button, and that works good. The only problem, is that the jQuery validation rules run before any of the column-level rules created with OOTB
SP 2013. So, in some cases, there is an extra click for the enduser.
