Handling a Custom X12 Version (non-standard GS08)

We are beginning to setup EDI communication directly with US Customs, and they have created their own flavor of the 4060 standard. In the GS08 value they will be sending 004060USCBP. How would I setup B2B in 11G to accept and Validate this EDI?
Current Error Message:
Element GS08 (Version / Release / Industry Identifier Code) does not contain a valid identification code: '004060USCBP' is not allowed. Segment GS is defined in the guideline at position N/A.{br}{br}This error was detected at:{br}{tab}Segment Count: 1{br}{tab}Element Count: 8{br}{tab}Characters: 154 through 165

Hi,
I'm not sure where exactly where I should be updating the document protocol version. Is this in the ECS file, or the version details with the B2B Gateway? You have to change the Document Protocol version in B2B application (console) to the value mentioned by Dheeraj.
You may try with below steps -
1. create the required document guidelines from X12/4060 guideline using document editor
2. create a group ecs file based on the one from the Xengine directory that has the codelist for GS08 in which replace 004060 with 004060USCBP
3. create a document protocol for version "4060USCBP". Specify the new group ecs from step 2 and install the documents from step 1 into it.
Redeploy the agreement and try again.

Anuj

Customizing SAP for non-standard money market instruments

Hi experts,
Would you know if SAP standard also provides for Pre-shipment loans, trust receipt, bill discount, bank guarantees and letter of credit? Will this be processed the same way as standard MM instruments? TM01/TMCA --> TBB1?
hope for your kind help.
Thanks,
David

Hi,
Nice to see a separate thread. Hope you will get required solution here.
In my opinion you can use the product type 55a (Interst rate instrument) for loans. For other requirement you might need to use the product type 56A (facilities) and link your products (many need to create similar to 55a for different purposes).
I don't have system handy to give you detailed steps. But I will try to update you asap if you wont get responses meanwhile.

Non Standard material

Hi All
i have an scenarion , In sales i will be selling non standard material i.e i will not keep in stock , when the customer comes for non standard dimension , i take the order and i pass it to production dept to fabricate.
How do i Create the materail for non standard , where the dimension will be changing regularly.
i dont want to use variant configuration ,because only one character used that is size.
And also i dont want to create a new material for each and everytime (this will be tuf process then)
Hope i explained the process clearly, Is ther any possible to do it ,
please let me know ,
Advance thanks
Regards
Praveen

Hi Sunil ,
Thnaks for your quick response,it was very useful answer ,
As per your advice i done the settings ,
I created BOM (usuage 5 S&D) withe two sub compenent called length and height with item category R.
Then i created sales order, in sales order the BOM exploded and in the sub compenent of BOM i given the size against the lenght and breath.
After saving , When i run the mdo4 , where i can see that for this order what is the lenght size and breadth size.
The scenario is only the size varies (only input from the customer)
please let me know at earliest.....
Thanks and Regards

Help with custom page size support for non standard paper

Firstly, we appreciate any support you may be able to provide, we have already thrown considerable effort at this and it has been very time consuming and frustrating.
To support a number of business functions need to print to (non standard) continuous and mulitpart paper on a dot matrix printer. The (test) Mac is a 10.4.11 G4 laptop, the printer is an Oki Microline 520 (9 pin 80 column, IBM Proprinter, Microline or Epson FX personalities with a parallel interface) which has been networked via a HP JetDirext Ex Plus print server. That part appears to be operating correctly.
We have tried a number of drivers / printer personalities with varying levels of success:
ESP / EPSON 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Epson FX personality
ESP / OKIDATA 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Oki Microline personality
Ghostscript / epsonc / Epson Dot Matrix Foomatic PPD / Epson FX personality
Ghostscript / ibmpro / IBM ProPrinterII Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
Ghostscript / okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
There were no appropriate drivers in Gutenprint (5.2.3 version) The most successful is the okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin settings, it can print A4 and honors the Printer Features Resolution settings in the print dialogue.
Q1: Should we see anything in the Printer Info / Installable Option, it is always blank ?
The issue is custom page sizes, we can manage / add Custom Pages Sizes via the Page Setup / Paper Size interface and they draw on the screen OK but they do not work at the printer (various issue at the printer such error messages, junk printing and wrong orientation):
Q2: Are we heading in the right direction or is there a better way to handle this ?
Q3: Would 10.5 solve all our problems, are the print drivers any better ?
Q4: Is this the correct way to specify custom page sizes, is this all we need to do ?
Q5: Is so how do we get the driver to respect the size, do we need another filter or something ?
Q6: Is it possible to add (by hand) custom page sizes to the ESP drivers or Foomatic PPD files so they they appear as a "standard" offering in the Page Setup / Paper Size interface ?
Sorry for the long / complicated post and thanks in advance for any advice / assistance.

Testing on 10.5.7, Tried both Oki 9-Pin Series 1.3 / Microline personality (no joy) and Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 (this is a much better driver than 1.1) / Epson FX personality but not much joy with custom page sizes,
The Oki 9-pin Series 1.3 and the Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 should produce the same results. The only difference in the PPDs is the printer model name.
After some testing, I find that the output is not the same despite the two PPDs being virtually identical. I did spot in the CUPS source code for the rastertoepson filter that there is some model name matching for Epson printers. Thus I can see where the output using the Oki 9-pin PPD could be different than when using the Epson 9-pin PPD.
but again once I imbedded the page size into the ppd some (but frustrating) luck. I can get it to respect the paper orientation and it prints well but I could not get the form length to work properly. At best over a print run of 7 labels it would creep up the label by about 0.1 inches / 2 mm.
Just for the fun of it, I made some additions to the Epson 9-pin 1.3 PPD. All I can say is that I could print a job to file. I have no way to know what it would look like on paper.
I did find that using a custom paper size did add some unwanted margins to the output bounding box. Putting the custom page size into the PPD seemed to get around that issue.
I added the following lines to the Epson 9-pin PPD 1.3--
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">*PageSize Label1/Label1: "<</PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*PageRegion Label1/Label1: "<<PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*ImageableArea Label1/Label1: "0 0 288.00 107.80"
*PaperDimension Label1/Label1: "288.00 107.80"</pre>
This adds a paper size with the 4 inch (288pt) width and 1.5 inch (107.8pt) height. That represents the 1.4 inch label and the 0.1 inch gap between labels. I set 0pt margins except for the bottom where is set the 0.1 inch (7pt) gap as the bottom margin.
The full diff in context is--
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">loki:~ matt$ diff -u /usr/share/cups/model/epson9.ppd ~/Desktop/epson9.ppd

Version 8 blocks http on non standard ports i.e. 8080

Version 7 handled http on both port 8080,8081 and 8082 but only text is passed after version 8 update. Is there a way to re-enable http on non standard ports? If you save the text file to the desktop and load it from there the html is processed correctly? Is there a directive besides "html" that could be place on the web pages to force html rendering on the odd ports. Version 8 works with port 4135 from Jefferson labs speed test.

Making custom non-standard components aware of custom look and feels.

Hello all.
Maybe the subject of this post could also be the opposite: "Making custom look and feels aware of non-standard custom components". I'm not sure.
If I code a new custom component (extending JComponent, or extending the UI delegate of a standard component) and pretend it to be laf aware then I must create the corresponding UI delegate for each laf, like it happens to be with standard swing components. But I'm not sure it is feasible to create the UI delegates for all unknown existing custom lafs.
On the other side, if I create a custom laf then I will also create a custom UI delegate for each standard component, but I can not create UI delegate for all unknown existing custom components.
The point here is that standard components and standard lafs are universally known, while custom components (or custom ui delegates) and custom lafs are not.
So the question is: How does a swing developer deal with the case of a new custom component that will be used in an unknown custom laf?
For instance:
1. Custom text UI delegate for dealing with styled documents in JTextField. See {thread:id=2284487}.
2. JTabbedPane with custom UI delegate that paints no tab if the component only contains one tab.
In both cases I need a UI delegate for each known laf, but what happens if the application is using a laf that certainly will not be aware of this custom functionally?
Thank you!

I suggest if you want to make your custom component look & feel aware, you design the way it displays around the l & f of other components that are part of j2se and have l&f implementations.

I thought FCP X 10.1.1 could handle non-standard frame sizes?

Yesterday I was demonstrating FCP X 10.1.1 to a friend.
As time was limited I imported the nearest piece of video I could find, which happened to be part of an H.264 video tutorial with a frame size of 960 x 600 and a frame rate of 30fps.
I hit the E key to send it to the timeline only to receive the old "not recognised" error message as shown below.
I thought I may have created the project incorrectly but when I repeated with a new project I double-checked that I had selected "Set based on first video clip".
I thought that FCP X 10.1.1 would automatically recognise a non-standard frame size and simply create an appropriate project.
I was too busy doing the demo to investigate at the time but later I discovered that there was no problem creating a 960 x 600 custom project manually.
It's a pity FCPX is not clever enough to do it automatically ............ or can it?

Thanks Tom, you clarified it ....... or at least something clicked in my brain.
I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600 frame dimensions appeared but the frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
So what's wrong with that?
Well the clip is 30p and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
Now here's the funny thing ......... when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.

Sync non standard customer fields cProjects to PS by extending BAPI_BUS2054

Hello,
I am using the hierarchical accouting via PS and would like to synchronise some non standard customer fields from cProjects to PS. The fields for synchronisation are definded in structure BAPI_BUS2054_DETAIL. This is used in BADI DPR_FIN_GECCO_ATTR. There I am filling the ct_attributes to transfer the data.
My question is if it is possible to extend this structure in order to transfer own fields to PS?
Thx, Vanessa

CSS 11501 ftp server setup problem using non-standard port

Dear Expert,
we would like to setup FTP server over CSS where our member sever use non-std-port to open both control/data channel (i.e. 6370 as ctrl and 6369 as data this case.) but seems we only get Passive mode FTP mode work only but not for Active mode FTP case for data channel establishement for server back to client...is there any professional advise can help on this case...? here is our setup info FYI

Thanks for your confirmation on no prob found in config level 1st..:P..as to save us a lot of time in isolating problem at this level.
What we can notice is seems the data port connection is fail to open for server back to client....for our general sense..... the flow expected should be:
TCP session A -- Client:1234 --> VIP:21 --> member svr:6370
TCP session B -- Client: 5678 <--> VIP:20 <--> member Svr: 6379 [on demand generated between server/client]
but we can only see session B fail to setup when client side access VIP site on CSS..even we try to put the most standard case as below
TCP session A -- Client:1234 --> VIP:21 --> member svr:21
TCP session B -- Client: 5678 <--> VIP:20 <--> member Svr: 20
we still unable to make the Active mode FTP access work either...hence we got no idea on how CSS handle FTP access when it involve services over multiple tcp ports..
and from CSS xlate view...the problem is we can only see what NAT IP that used in CSS connect to client...but no way to confirm for which port for VIP using outgoing to client. neither it is dropped by CSS..nor it is never setup from VIP to Client side.

Kvirc from SVN {NON-Standard-Install-Method} and Overcoming 2 Problems

Hello, everyone. Firefishe here.
There are certain programs I like to compile from source code, outside of the normal arch hierarchy of PKGBUILD's. One such program is the Internet Relay Chat client, "KVIRC".
I've been using kvirc for years, and I like to keep it as up-to-date as possible, just like Arch!
This is why I like to use the svn version, so I can update it quickly and uniformly. I like--as a user--to contribute back to the project. (I had one of my bug reports translated into an instant commit by the main project author, himself, once. That made me feel quite good, so it really does help to do a few things like this now and again.
Okay, on to the main topic.
I'm writing this to alleviate a nagging problem that had been plaguing me for months in 2013. Qt5 just wasn't compiling kvirc very well back then. The fact is, the echoing strains of "qt5 is broken in kvirc" from the #kvirc channel on Freenode, resounded soundly throughout that entire year. Qt5 was still a bit buggy, and not all the libraries (32bit or 64bit) were quite finished.
Move forward to (now) July, 2014! I have now compiled kvirc successfully on my 64bit (with 32bit multilib installation) laptop, and kvirc is purring away with a current svn build of kvirc.
However, I ran into some issues, which I would like to share with you, below:
I usually go about compiling kvirc from svn like this: (I usually start from my /home/userNameHere directory.)
{arch@homedir}$ svn co https://svn.kvirc.de/svn/trunk/kvirc
{arch@homedir}$ cd kvirc
{arch@homedir}$ mkdir release
{arch@homedir}$ cd release
{arch@homedir}$ ccmake ..
[At this point, the 'ccmake ..' command invokes cmake-gui, an ncurses-like graphical user interface, with a list of menu items pertaining to various libraries and flags that can be set. cmake-gui makes selecting these flags and libraries quite easy, and also gives a clear indication of what directories may not have been found (which will be discussed a bit later.) ]
Press the 'C' Letter Key -- (This runs the Configure Routine. I sometimes do this twice, just to be sure it configured properly. I've had it miss a few times for unknown reasons.)
Press the 'G' Letter Key -- This 'Generates' Cmake files.
After the 'G' command, the system takes you back to the command prompt.
{arch@homedir}$ make ***WAIT A WHILE, COULD TAKE A BIT LONGER ON SLOWER SYSTEMS!***
{arch@homedir}$ sudo make install (Or 'su -' to root, then do 'make install'; your preference. I prefer using sudo.)
{arch@homedir}$ sudo ldconfig (Or 'ldconfig' if still at root prompt #)
{arch@homedir}$ kvirc (or 'kvirc &' if you don't want the terminal window to hold onto the process.)
Kvirc should run at this point, but I ran into a couple of problems. Once during the ccmake configuration (which prevented ccmake from configuring), and at the end, which prevented kvirc from running.)
The first had to do with two (2) packages that were not installed. The were, as follows:
qt5-webkit
qt5-multimedia
I installed those files, then did the 'ccmake ..' portion. That ran fine, as well as the 'make' and 'sudo make install' and 'sudo ldconfig' parts.
What didn't work was when I tried to run kvirc. I got the following error:
{arch@homedirc}$ kvirc
kvirc: error while loading shared libraries: libkvilib.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I remember, back when kvirc was wanting Qt4, and not Qt5, that if I didn't do the first 'sudo ldconfig' command before trying to run kvirc, it would give something similar. However, since this compile run was wanting Qt5, and not qt4, I was puzzled.
Well, it turned out to be something quite simple. This is a non-standard process of software installation on a new(er) arch system. The 'uname -r' command on my system yields the following: 3.15.4-1-ARCH . It is no surprise, then, that at this late date, Qt5 is complete (or at least more complete) than back in 2013 when I had the original problems, and had to select the 'WANTS-QT4' section during the 'ccmake ..' command.
**** Building kvirc this way places the kvirc binary in /usr/local/bin, and a certain 'libkvilib.so.4' library in /usr/local/lib ****.
This is to be expected from a standard source compile on most gnu/linux systems; and this *is* a standard compile, even though we're using the 'ccmake ..' command to do the preliminary configuration and cmakefile generation.)
The problem is, is that Arch is looking for libkvilib.so.4 in /usr/lib, and not /usr/local/lib. So the following was, for me, the solution that got everything squared away:
I made a symlink in /usr/lib to /usr/local/lib/libkvilib.so.4, like this:
{arch@homedir}$ cd /usr/lib
{arch@homedir}$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libkvilib.so.4 libkvilib.so.4
After doing this, I did:
{arch@homedir}$ kvirc (or kvirc &)
And It Ran Beautifully! :-)
I hope you've enjoyed this HOWTO. I know most people may just want to use the 4.2.x version of kvirc, currently residing safely in the standard repositories. However, if you're like me, and want a bit of bleeding edge, Qt5 goodness with kvirc, I might suggest doing the above!

Hi Dareen,
Looking at the information shared and also the error message ( Update Failed,Updates could not be applied.Please contact your Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been suppressed by the Administrator.If the problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance" ),
It suggests that the updates were to be managed by the Admin only. Lets try the following step and suggest if this was able to resolve the concern that you have or not.
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0 and you will find a .dat file ( AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat).
2) Please open the file in question and you will find a line item : <Suppressed>1</Suppressed> .
3) Please change the Value from 1 to 0 and save the file back in the same location.
post the above step, try the installation once again and share the end result please.
Cheers,

How To: Use FCPX to create iPhone Portrait Movies (and other non-standard formats)

Goal: Use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to produce a 640x1136 video (iPhone 5 Portrait). You can use these same steps to produce virtually any dimensions you want. My example is for the iPhone 5, in Portrait mode.
This information is available in various places, but you have to realy work to find it, so I thought I'd post a step-by-step guide here.
By the way, you might think you could just create a FCPX Project with your desired dimensions, but you can't (at least with 10.0.7). Projects only support certainly dimensions. But there are other ways, as the rest of this post describes:
1) Create an initial movie with the desired dimensions, to serve as a template. We'll call it "Template.mov". The only thing that matters is the dimensions. It can be in any codec FCPX understands, and virtually any length.
I'm using a 2 second video shot on my iPhone for the template. You could also create a blank image (.png, whatever) with the proper dimensions, copy and paste it into a new Quick Time Pro 7 window, and Export it using custom settings. There's lots of different ways to do this.
2) Drop Template.mov into a FCPX event.
3) Select Template.mov in the Event browser, and select File->Duplicate (or command-D). You probably could just edit "Template.mov", but it's a good idea to save it for reuse.
3) Change the name of the copied video. I'm using "iPhone Video".
4) Right-click "iPhone Video" and select "Open in Timeline".
5) If you made the Template video from a still image, you may need to change the duration (ctrl+D). You don't have to make it very long, but it needs to be longer than 1 frame. A few seconds should be enough.
6) Use this timeline like you'd use a project's timeline. Drop in new content, trim, transition, etc. There may be things you can't do in it, but I haven't found any yet. I'm guessing Chapters may not work, but I haven't tried them.
7) Note that when you drop new content into the timeline, it may size funny. That's because the default setting for "Spacial Conform" is "Fit". Simply select the newly-dropped content, and in the Video settings inspector, scroll down to "Spacial Conform" and change it. You could use "Fill", which fills the frame vertically, or "None", which uses the source's original height. Then crop/transform/whatever to get what you want.
8) When you're ready to render, select "iPhone Video" in the Event browser, then use the "Share" button. You want to use the "Export File" destination, which you may have to add. Pick your codec, and let 'er rip.
9) When the rendering is done, you should have a video in your desired dimensions.
That's all there is to it. Hope this helps someone.

PS: Don't ask why someone would want to create an iPod video using FCPX. The point is that you may need to create a video with non-standard dimensions at some point in time, and this is how to do it.
PPS: Most of this information came from http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial. I just wrote it down, while I tried to do what the video suggested.

Instructions for using QuickTime Pro 7 to create a template video with unusual dimensions.
I suspect that anyone savy enough to be using FCPX has probably already figured out how to do this, either using my technique or another, so there probably isn't a real need for me to post this. For that matter, I may be the only person who cares about this at all. However, while I was trying to learn how to do all of this, I would have really appreciated having all the information in one place, so here goes.
If you want to create a video with unusual dimensions (like 640x1136) using my steps above, you'll need a "template" video first. Here's an easy way to create one, using any image editor, and QuickTime Pro 7.
1) Open QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP for short).
2) From the menu, select File->New Player. You'll get a window with just the bottom portion of the player, i.e. the playback controls.
3) Using an image editor, create a still image in the desired dimensions. You can use any image editor. It doesn't matter what the image contains (although it will end up showing as a thumbnail in FCPX).
4) Copy the image to the clipboard.
5) Switch back to QTP, and paste the image into the new player. Don't worry that there isn't a video window showing - just paste it into the window that has only playback controls. As soon as you do, the video window appears.
6) Advance to the end of the movie (the short, 1-frame movie), then hold down Command+V (paste) and keep holding it down to paste multiple images in. Watch the time advance. You could, if you want, just hold down Command+V until you get the length you want. But if you want a long video, there's an easier way:
7) When you reach a few seconds (or whatever duration your patience allows), select all (Command+A) and copy (Command+C). Then hold down Command+V to keep pasting in the longer clips. Wait until you reach a longer duration, then repeat the process. So, for example, 1 second, then 10 seconds, then 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then 1 hour. Or whatever you want.
8) Save the video however you want. I usually use File->Export with H.264, with Quality set to "Least". Just make sure you don't let it change the dimensions. If you resized the player window, depending on which "save" or "export" method you've chosen, it might default to the resized dimensions, so double check that to make sure.
That's it. You now have a template video you can use with my previous post(s).

How to populate custom fields in SAP standard Basic type DELFOR01(E1EDK09)

I've a requirement to include and populate 2 custom fields in SAP standard basic type DELFOR01 and Segment E1EDK09 (it is at hierarchy level 1 ) .
The requirement looks very simple but for this, as per my knowledge, I have to create a new Basic type with the copy of segment E1EDK09 and attach it to outbound process code and write my own function module to populate the segments.
It seems ok but the there are some existing codes in the user-exits for the SAP standard function module.These codes will not get triggered.(Or I've copy the user-exits code in my FM)
Can we do it any other way to handle this kind of situation?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Hi Phani,
You have done it correctly. ECC additional data to be moved to EWM, 1. you need to enhance the CIF for master data/ bapi to populate the data in the custom field in EWM. 2. Make your your are not enhancing only one structure. You need to do it in the CI includes so that the field is available in all the related tables/structures.
3. The BAPI/FM which updated these tables will take care automatically to update the custom field data if the field is correctly added in all the tables.
4. If the custom fields are added correctly and still the data is not getting saved , then need to check the mapping of the custom field and bepi extension.
Let me know if this helps.

AV output and non-standard frame sizes

I usually work in non-standard frame size for my FCP projects because my final output will be in a 2:35:1 ratio. I use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor as an HDMI output to a client monitor. Up until a few months ago the AV output of FCPX would allow the Mini Monitor to accept a frame size of 1920x818 and letterbox the output to 16x9 on this consumer grade LCD. One day, this just stopped working... I've reached out to Blackmagic and they have no solution or reason why this happened, and are not willing to offer support since what I was achieving wasn't an "officially supported" feature. Now, the AV output will distort the image vertically to fill a 16x9 frame. At this point I am stuck having to use either a matte layer or a widescreen effect on individual clips to output correctly to my monitor which increases edit time having to re-render any edits underneath the matte and having to re-order the letterbox effect after apply color correction etc. It was also very easy to adjust the frame offset with this wide angle project size.
Is anyone editing in 2:35:1 (or other cinema standard) projects and getting successful conversion on output? What are you using?
Cheers,
Matt

Thanks Tom, you clarified it ....... or at least something clicked in my brain.
I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600 frame dimensions appeared but the frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
So what's wrong with that?
Well the clip is 30p and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
Now here's the funny thing ......... when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.

Oracle DB: How to parse XML where element names are non-standard ?

I'm in the unfortunate situation that I have illegal XML that I would like Oracle to parse. By 'illegal' in my case is that there are element names that start with an illegal character, such as a digit. Apart from this the XML is syntactically valid.
Here is an example of the XML I have stored as a column in the database:
<schedule>
    <1stweek>
    </1stweek>
    <2ndweek>
    </2ndweek>
</schedule>Right now I'm doing text search-and-replace on the XML text before I let Oracle parse it, for example replacing '<1stweek>' with '<x1stweek>' and so on. Needless to say this is very slow.
My question is if there is a way to tell the XML parser in the Oracle DB (I'm using version 10.2) to be a bit more forgiving ? ... so that it will accept element names that start with e.g. a digit ? I know that such an option exist in some XML parsers but what about Oracle's and if so how to set the option?
And before you ask I'll answer myself: No, I'm not the one who created the non-standard XML. It is from a third-party application which I cannot change myself and cannot get the vendor to change either.
Thank you.

if you cast your clob to an xmltype then you can search and extract values based on tags.
Heres an example where the table is a clob and value is cast and I'm looking for an existing attribute_name.
Check out the Oracle XML developers Guide
select u.*
FROM preload_xml
, XMLTable(
'/ApplicationProfile/ScriptFragment' PASSING xmltype(xml)
COLUMNS name varchar2(50 char) PATH '/ScriptFragment/@Name'
) u
