How to test an IDML file?

I have created an IDML package that is very basic. It has a couple of spreads, each with a single page and some guides on the page. Schema validation against the package schema passes. However, when I open the file in InDesign it tells me "Cannot open then file 'foo.idml'. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that suports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
It is not open in another application and helloworld-2.idml opens fine even through it fails validation on several counts.
I suspect there is something very minor "wrong" with my IDML file. However, given that the schema is not catching it; is there a way to determine why InDesign chokes on it? I don't see any log file, nor is there anything in the Windows event log. Does anyone know how to determine what it is about the file that InDesign can't handle?
Thanks,
Gareth.

It sounds like you've hand-coded an IDML file. This is something we can't help you with in this forum. I think you should ask in the InDesign SDK Forum.

How to test if a file is opened by another program?

Hello,
i wrote a program copying files and folders like in the 'powerfolder' app.
i tried to copy an odt file, while an older version was open in the destination folder., ang i got this:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: ... (Access is denied)
I printed this:
System.out.println(" " + cfile.canExecute() + " " + cfile.canRead() + " " + cfile.canWrite()+ " " );
resulting: true, true, true
So, i could write the file, while it is opened, said the Java 6...
How can i test wether it is opened by another program?
Thanks...

Try to open it. If it's open by another program you will get a java.io.FileNotFoundException 'Access is denied'.Oh, i user a FileInputStream, and an exception was throwned.
I thought, i can test it using some kind a boolean method...
using a try block to test wether a file is opened by another program is a little bit strange to me...

How to open a idml file created by CS6 in CS5?

I created a file in InDesign CS6 and saved as idml file yesterday.
But today I can not open either in CS6 or CS5 version.
It says
"Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
Is there anyother way could open this file?

I chose from the drop-down list.
Maybe not.
Anyway, thank you very much!

How To Test Idoc To File Scenario in ID From Tools- Test Configuration

Hi All,
Can any body help me in step by step process including screenshots for testing Idoc to file scenario in integration directory from tools->test configuration.
My scenario is passing the PO Idoc data from R/3 into a file using XI.
i have processed the idoc from R/3 and now i went to sxmb_moni in XI system and took the payload xml data.
In ID I have navigated to test configuration from tools then i have provided the following information.
Sender Service : Business system of R/3 b'coz here R/3 is the sender.
Sender Interface : ORDERS.ORDERS6
Receiver Service : Business system of XI b'coz here XI receives the data and         places it into a file
In payload text box i have copied the xml code which i have taken from sxmb_moni and clicked the run button. then i got the following error:
Sender Agreement
Internal Error
                 HTTP connection to ABAP Runtime failed.
                 Error: 403 Forbidden
                 URL: http://bxdci.boewe.custservice.de:8093/sap/xi/simulation?sap-client=100
                 User: PIDIRUSER
Kindly look into it and correct me if iam wrong or is there any other way to test this scenario in ID please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,

How to test cloned VI file from Test-Stand

Hi All,
I am having one doubt in Test - Stand.
I am having VI file which is having four controls and four indicators. I am just connecting one control with one indicator like one - one mapping. I have created connector pane for this. Say save this file as dummy1.vi.
In another VI file I have taken four controls. These controls are connected with dummy1.vi file. Save this file with test1.vi file. Now run the test1.vi file with highlight execution on. While it is continuosly running, double click on the sub vi files. You can see different files with clone, clone1, clone2 ...etc...
Now I will pass values to test1.vi file from Test - Stand sequence step. In second step I want check the result from dummy1.vi file. But I am unable to do it.
Can anybody tell me how to achieve it?
Regards,
Nagaraju

Hey NagRaj,
The reason you see the clones is because your VI is reentrant. You can change that in the VI Properties in the Execution section. Also, you may want to read more about that in the LabVIEW help to understand it better.
You should have no problem testing these VIs from TestStand if you set your Step result to the value you are testing against. I've attached an image that shows how to set the outputs of your VI to the step results. What kind of test are you doing? (i.e. NumericLimit, StringLimit, Pass/Fail etc..)
Is dummy1.VI a subvi of test1.VI? If so do you have the output terminals of dummy1.vi connected to the output terminals of test1.vi to propogate the values back to TestStand. This is assuming you only have one step in TestStand calling test1.vi which has dummy1.vi as a subvi.
If you want two steps where one step calls test1.vi and the other calls dummy1.vi then you have to call them seperately. They can't be tested in the same step this way.
If this is confusing you can always post your simple example (seq and vis) and I could look and see how to better assist you.

How to test an image file existing or not

Hi Everyone,
I want to test whether an image file exists or not before setting the url of an image component in JSF to it. Following is my code:
File testFile = new File(image_path + "/p1.jpg");
if(testFile.exists()){
info("file exists");
}else{
info("file not exists");
this.myImage.setUrl(image_path+"/p1.jpg");
Althoug the p1.jpg can be linked to myImage, the existence test always fails. That is, I got the message "file not exists" even though it is already displayed.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance,

HOW to load a test limit set file to lv

the test limit setting file maybe as following"
Stepname Measured value HiLimit lOWLIMIT
F1DC 2 0 5
F2Frequency 5 6 12
How can i first load in the limit file and then run the LV test using this limit? I heard that it can be realized by Access tool set of LV, Can some attach a simply example for it ? Thanks!

What kind of file is the information stored in? If it's a text file with some sort of delimiter, you can use Read From Spreadsheet File. If it's in an Access database, then yes, you can use the Database Connectivity Toolkit Toolkit to run queries on the database. I don't have any examples. What I use for database queries is Jeffrey Travis' LabSQL. The toolkit and LabSQL are both based on ADO. The toolkit makes queries very easy to create. LabSQL requires some knowledge of the SQL database language.

How to test the simple .java file in cactus

dear friends,
i have use the junit first time .And i am working in weblogic8.1 so i have use cactus .But i face the problem to use it.
1. how to test the simple .java file in cactus.
2.how to run the cactus in weblogic 8.1.

Hi,
It is because the converter works on byte code and it only supports a subset of the Java language (see the JC specifications). It is kind of like compiling you code on Java 6 and trying to run it on Java 5. The JCDK outlines the required compiler version.

How to test whether XI is sending file or not?

Hi all!
My scenario is like this:File(File sender Adapter)->XI->(HTTP receiver adapter)J2EE appl.
I placed the xml file in D:\somedir on my PC. It is picking up the file, after picking it should post the same xml file to my j2ee appl. My servlet receives the xml file and display it on browser. But nothing is displayed. How to test whether XI is sending XML file to J2EE appl or not? All helpful answers are highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
In the file adapter i set processing mode as delete, it is picking up well from my d:\somedir.
I got success flag in SXMB_MONI and successful status in RWB->message monitoring?
Why my servlet is not able to display?
All helpful answers are rewarded.
public class DisplayRes extends HttpServlet {
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
                    doPost(request,response);
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
     BufferedReader brin =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer();
     while ((inputLine = brin.readLine()) != null)
         sBuf.append(inputLine);
         brin.close();

How to test File Adapter from EM Console

Hi All,
I have one issue with File Adapter where I am trying to implement a simple BPEL process. Below are the steps;
1. I have created an empty BPEL process and then add a read file adapter to the left side which will read from a file aa.txt which is present in D:\work folder. File is having data like XXXX,YYYY,ZZZZ. (I have used Native builder for schema generation)
2. Then I have added Write file adapter on the right side which will write to an other file bb.txt.
Then I have rebuild and deploy this on weblogic SOA server but on the EM console I am not able to test it as Test button is disabled. Then how to test this scenario? Also I tried testing by placing a new file aa1.txt in the same directory with some content. Logically it should be picked up and then write it to the bb.txt but it is not happening.
Can anyone please help me in this as how to troubleshoot it.
Thanks
RJ

Thanks for the reply.
So if i understood correctly it means that we cannot test it using EM console as we have read adapter on the left side because of which we have not exposed it as SOAP service. When we put any file in the D:\XXX then automatically read adapter will pick that up and create one instance in the EM console and then write adapter will write it into the destination file?
But in our case no instance is getting created in the EM console even when I am copying a file to the directory. Below is the read_file.jca
<adapter-config name="Read" adapter="File Adapter" wsdlLocation="Read.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
<connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter" UIincludeWildcard="rj*.txt"/>
<endpoint-activation portType="Read_ptt" operation="Read">
<activation-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.FileActivationSpec">
<property name="DeleteFile" value="false"/>
<property name="MinimumAge" value="0"/>
<property name="PhysicalDirectory" value="D:\mywork"/>
<property name="Recursive" value="true"/>
<property name="PollingFrequency" value="60"/>
<property name="IncludeFiles" value="rj.*\.txt"/>
<property name="UseHeaders" value="false"/>
</activation-spec>
</endpoint-activation>
</adapter-config>
Please help as why it is not getting picked up?

How to test 1099 file format ( IRS )

Hi all,
We are on ECC6.00 .
We need to submit 1099 file t IRS department. How to confirm if the file generated by SAP is in correct format as specified by IRS. Its become problematic after you send the file to IRS and they come back with formatting issue .
Is there any software available ?
Best Regards

hari
You can send the test file using the same IRS portal that you use for submitting the real file. You will then receive an email from IRS telling you the exact formatting error or if the file has passed. IRS will allow the test files only during specific period in a year (normally Nov-Jan).
Thanks

How can I save an indd file as an idml file without opening the document?

I cannot open an InDesign file that was made in a later version of InDesign because I don't have the right plugins. How can I convert this indd file to an idml file without opening it?

Well..... sort of depends on your version.
If you have any version as part of CC subscription, the latest updates are supposed to be using a cloud-based service to generate the IDML for you so that you can open the newer files seamlessly.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
Advice much appreciated.
