Importing cross references in R12.1 using an API

Hello All,
Is there any API to import cross references in Oracle R12.1.Basically the API should insert records in to mtl_cross_references_b table.
Any pointers will be of great help.
Regards,
Sumi

Index cross references are designed to enable you to have
index keywords that when clicked redirect the user to another
keyword. For example I use them for acronyms to redirect users to
the longer version. Are you cross references topics inside the
project? If so, can't you use the index cross references by
indexing in the same manner? If the cross reference you want is
outside the project, using the index is not the way I'd suggest.
Why not use a link in a topic to a URL, file, etc. You may be able
to do what you want through a redirect topic but I haven't looked
into this. Come back with some more details if I am off the
mark.

  • Successfully importing cross-references from Microsoft Word into InDesign?

    Hello --
    I am laying out a series of long documents (~130 pages each) in InDesign CS5.5.
    The writer for the project has used cross-references in MS Word for areas like the TOC, index and page references ("See page X for more information").
    Is it possible to import these cross-references into InDesign so that the InDesign document functions like the Word document with the cross-references?
    I am thinking no because I am having a ton of trouble with it so far, but wanted to get a definite answer from an expert.
    When I import the text, the cross-references appear in InDesign in the Hyperlinks/cross-reference panel. However, InDesign says they need to be updated based on the way the text flowed in InDesign. And when I click the auto update button, all sorts of funky stuff happens and basically -- the cross-references create a bunch of typos and become junk.
    Thoughts? Knowledge on this topic?
    Thanks in advance!!

    I can't speak to general or specific causes of your cross-reference problems. However, I believe that InDesign x-refs behave a bit differently in CS4, CS5, and CS5.5, and if you have either of these earlier releases, you might try them for comparison.
    Also, you might want to look into the free trial of DTP Tools' cross-references plug-in for InDesign, at dtptools.com, to see if it's more successful than InDesign's built-in x-refs.

  • Make a Reference Quicktime Movie using QuickTime API for windows?

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know how to generate or modify a QuickTime Reference file?
    I try to generate a QuickTime reference file (.mov) that will point to external video clip Avid OpAtom such as
    \Avid MediaFIles\MXF\V1.mxf,
    \Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A1.mxf,
    \Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A2.mxf.
    I can use Avid News Cutter (NLE) to export a Quicktime reference mov file that point to external OpAtom mxf files.
    My questions are:
    1. How can I use QuickTime API to generate the same QT reference?
    2. Can we use QuickTime API to parse or modify the Avid Generated QT reference file?
    If I want to change the referenced external video source location info can we use QT API to do that?
    3. I have tried John Cromie's "QuickTime for .Net and Com Developers" using AxQTControl1.URL to parse a QT reference file, however, I can't find out where the external source clip location info in this object!!
    4. I have tried Legacywindowsqttools Dunpster but still can't parse the location info.
    Does anyone know where the external source clip location info hide in QT API object?

    Insert a Shape and re-size & position it to cover the movie. In the Inspector > Graphic tab, set the Opacity of the Shape to 0%. Then hyperlink that transparent Shape.

  • Cross browser testing:Click action on UITestcontrol got using ExcuteScript API is not working.

    Hi,
    For one of the web control,I am using ExecuteScript API to get the UITestControl as explained in this link (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/01/18/introducing-jscript-execution-on-internetexplorer-and-crossbrowser-in-coded-ui-test.aspx
    )and trying to perform click action on the control.It is not performing the click action on the control but script status is success.
    Problem is seen only with specific Overload of Mouse.Click().Here I am constructing the control using bounding rectangle dynamically.
    The API I am using is
     Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.Mouse.Click(UITestControl, MouseButtons.Left, ModifierKey.None, clickablePoint );
    Point Caluculation is shown below:
    clickablePoint  = return new Point(boundingRect.Width / 5, boundingRect.Height / 4);
    I tried to debug the code and found that Selenium web driver is throwing null reference exception while using this API for Left button click action.Could you please check the problem and fix it.So that I can
    use this API as per my requirement.
    Regards,
    Nagasree.

    Hi Nagasree,
    Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
    Firefox 33. So please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing
    Whether this API: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting.Mouse.Click(UITestControl, MouseButtons.Left, ModifierKey.None, clickablePoint ) worked fine with IE browser when
    you run this test?
    If the same API worked fine on IE browser but not on Chrome or Firefox browser, “Q AND A” tab in this link:
    Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing is a better place for resolving this problem.
    It seems that you want to click the control using bounding rectangle, then you don't neet to use MouseButtons.Left and ModifierKey.None, you can use such API:
    Click(UITestControl, Point) or
    Click(Point) directly.
    You also can try to use the following code snippet, maybe it can help you.
    Rectangle r = TargetControl.BoundingRectangle.
    Mouse.Click(new Point(r.X + r.Width/2, r.Y + r.Height/2));

  • Converting cross references from Frame

    I am importing my Frame files by reference in RoboHelp (using
    Technical Communication Suite). I have mapped my "Heading &
    Page" cross reference style to the <$paratext> building block
    to drop the page numbers from the cross references. I cannot for
    the life of me get these to import correctly. When I import the
    chapters, the cross references still contain the page numbers. In
    addition, they are not hyperlinks, as they are in Frame.
    Double-clicking on the imported cross reference links does nothing.
    I am desperate to get these to convert properly - I have 34
    chapters to import from my user guide!!

    Yes, I applied all of the patches and same problem.
    What I did yesterday afternoon was to save the source FM file
    as MIF and take a look at the markers. The cross reference markers
    that were failing to move over had an \xod at the end. I posted in
    the Framemaker forum and discovered that this was the hexadecimal
    for a carriage return. As for why there would be a carriage return
    at the end of some of my cross reference markers I have no idea and
    I assure you it was not because I hit ENTER.
    However, I have been having some success this morning in
    deleting the cross reference markers and reinserting them. Of
    course, this messes up all of the other cross reference pointers
    throughout the book. It may be that if more than one cross
    reference is made to a single source (e.g., the marker is used more
    than once) the \xod appears. I am not yet sure. In between the
    time-consuming and focus-grabbing Force Updates and the frequent
    RoboHelp crashes during the Force Update process it takes some time
    to discover. Framemaker never had a problem keeping track of my
    cross references \xod or no.
    I still have the problem of two cross references right next
    to each other causing a Fatal Error when I try to compile. So I
    have to add some spurious word like "and" and it won't even let me
    make this word white. So I basically have to rewrite my source
    document.
    Any patches planned? Also, please consider an upgrade to the
    server hosting this board: it is extremely unresponsive.
    Thank you,
    Z.

  • Cross Reference an Object??

    How do I cross reference an object using Indesign CS4?
    I've got a PDF that I've dropped into a frame, which I applied an Object Style.  Now I need to create a cross references in the document, that point to the PDF (a chart).  I've got to do this with several PDF's.
    When I go to create a cross reference, I can only apply it a Paragraph Style or a Text Anchor, I don't get an Object Style to choose from.
    I could put some text in behind the chart, and arrage the chart to the front, but i'd rather create a cross reference to the Object itself.
    What do i do?

    Cross-references only point to text - either a text anchor or a paragraph - not to objects.
    If your placed PDF is in an anchored frame, you can point the cross-reference to the paragraph in which the frame is anchored.
    If your placed PDF is not in an anchored frame, you can do what you suggest above, or you have these other options:
    * place the PDF into a text frame
    * create a text frame and group it with the PDF; point the cross-reference to the paragraph in the text frame, or insert a text anchor in the text and point the cross-reference to it.
    * you can paste the grouped PDF and text frame object into a text frame to make it an anchored frame.
    The idea of a cross-reference is usually to point to a caption or heading. You can't point to the text in a placed PDF because it's really a graphic. You'll probably want a caption to identify the chart. The caption is the text you cross-reference to. The caption can be in the paragraph that holds the anchor, in a text frame grouped with the graphic, in a paragraph above or below the graphic, or in an anchored frame that's positioned near the graphic.
    If your layout will not reflow, you probably don't need an anchored frame, but if the layout will reflow, you'll want to use the ability of an anchored to move with the text.
    Read about cross-references and anchored frames in Help. If your caption will be numbered, such as "Figure 3," also read about numbered lists and numbering properties of paragraph styles.

  • InDesign CS6 Cross references

    I need to place a non-breaking space between the word Figure and the number x, so they do not end up on two separate lines at the edge of a fully justified column, but I cannot construct the right code to apply in the <paraNum/> “building block”. Normally, I would use ctrl-alt-x in running text, but in the cross reference function, even using the special character feature, I am unable to find the correct solution. I'm sure it has something to do with delimiters and true or false, but how do I define this? Can anyone help, please?

  • ODI : how to raise cross reference error before loading into Essbase?

    Hi John .. if you read my post, I want to say that you impress me! really, thank for your blog.
    Today, my problem is :
    - I received a bad quality data file from ERP extract
    - I have cross reference table (Source ==> Target)
    - >> How to raise the error before loading into Essbase !
    My Idea is the following, (first of all, I'm not sure if it is a good one, and also I meet issue to do it in ODI !)
    - Step 1 : make JOIN between data.txt and cross-reference Table ==> Create a table DATA_STEP1 in the ODISTAGING schema (the columns of DATA_STEP1 are the addition of columns of data.txt those of cross-references Tables (... there is more than 20 columns in my case)
    - Step 2 : Control if there is no NULL value in the Target Column (NULL means that the data.txt file contains value that are not defined in my cross reference Table) by using Filter ( Filter = Target_Account IS NULL or Target_Entity IS NULL or ...)
    The result of this interface is send to reject.txt file - if reject.txt file is not empty then a mail is sent to the administrator
    - Step 3 : make the opposite : Filter NOT (Target_Account IS NULL or Target_Entity IS NULL ... ) ==> the result is sent in DATA_STEP3 Table
    - Step 4 : run properly the mapping : source : DATA_STEP3 (the clean and verified data !) with cross reference Tables and send data into Essbase - NORMALY, there is not rejected record !
    My main problem is : what is the right IKM to send data into the DATA_STEP1, or DATA_STEP3 Table, which are Oracle Table in my ODISTAGING Schema ! I thy with IKM Oracle Incremental Update but I get error, and actually I don't need an update (which is time consumming), I just need an INSERT !
    I'm just lookiing for an 'IKM SQL to Oracle" ....
    regards
    xavier

    Thanks john : very speed !
    I understood better now which IKM is useful.
    I found other information about the error followup with ODI : http://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/2009/10/did_you_know_that_odi_generate.html
    and I decided to activate Integrity Constorl in ODI :
    I load :
    - data.txt in ODITEMP.T_DATA
    - transco_account.csv in ODITEMP.T_TRANSCO_ACCOUNT
    - transco_entity.csv in ODITEMP.T_TRANSCO_ENTITY
    - and so on ...
    - Moreover I create integrity constraints between T_DATA and T_TRANSCO_ACCOUNT and T_TRANSCO_ENTITY ... so I expected that ODI will raise for me in E$_DATA (the error table) the bad records !
    However I have one issue when loading data.txt into T_DATA because I have no ID or Primary Key ... I read in a training book that I could use a SEQUENCE ... I try but unsuccessful ... :-(
    Is there another simple way to create a Primary Key automaticaly (T_DATA is in an oracle Schema of course) ?thanks in advance

  • Auto Generation Cross References

    Hi
    I am working on xml to InDesign automation process form last year, I am looking to auto generate Cross References linking by using xml. Whereas my xml contains following tags for linking.
    <figref pid="p200179129960143001">Table 1</figref>
    <ptr pid="p200179129970131001">Chapter 7</ptr>
    Is there any option or namespace to perform auto generation of Cross References?

    Yes, i only have the container in one vi. In the other VIs are only "Automation references".
    But as soon as my activeX-file changes (new registered to windows), the references become invalid and i have to click on each reference an must select in the popup "select activeX-class".

  • How to use the Cross Reference fields in P4P

    I have been receiving questions related to the Cross Reference section from many different customers and partners. This post represents my attempt to describe the Cross Reference Section and the Equivalent Numbers stored within.
    Identity
    A term that Kelly uses and I will borrow is “identity”. A given specification can have many identities. The basic identity is the specification number generated by GSM. This is useful during early stages of design. Once we get past a draft or development status in the workflow the organization quickly wants to identify the specification in other ways. Examples include:
    Execution System Number: Operations and Supply Chain quickly need to formalize an item or material for forecasting, inventory and purchasing…
    Custom Numbering Conventions: Sometimes an organization has very specific custom logic for identifying materials. Usually terms like smart numbering are used to describe their methods.
    Data Migration Identifier: In some cases customers have extensive data clean up projects. As part of the effort systems and processes are developed and an identity is created. In my experience we loaded a “Base Stock” number to represent Packaging Materials. The label stock that was commonly used was historically not represented so we created a number as part of the migration project.
    Identity Functionality:
    The Fields: The four major fields that make up the Cross Reference section are as follows:
    >>System Name: This field describes the system generating the identifier. Examples I like to use are Oracle EBS or SAP Material Master. Sometimes geography must also be concatenated to the system, i.e. Oracle EBS – NA. This occurs when the customer is a large multinational where multiple ERP implementations exist. Therefore the same material may be known by many different numbers, i.e. Oracle EBS – NA = 77432, Oracle EBS – EU = 88883.
    >>System Code: The system code is merely the syntax used during integration. Using CSS or various APIs you may chose to identify the system using an abbreviation, EBSNA or SAPMM.
    >>Equivalent: The value representing the identity within a given system.
    >>Externally Managed: If you are using CSS or an API to receive Cross Reference data you can define the field as "Externally Manged". When a cross reference is marked in this manner the general user community will not be able to edit the field. Administrators associated with the role [Externally_Managed_Cross_Ref_Admin] can edit the field if needed.
    Syndication: While some users enter equivalent numbers manually, others use integration tools to generate and transmit identities. If a given cross reference is marked as “Externally Managed” then users are unable to manually enter data. On initial syndication the specification will not have a given equivalent. The specification is sent to middleware, a number is generated by the appropriate system and the response is sent back to GSM to add the System Code to the specification with the appropriate identity value.
    Copy verses Issue:
    >>Copy: When a user copies a specification the Cross Reference data is NOT included. Since the identities refer to the originating specification it does not make sense to carry over to the copy. If we did then users would quickly need to delete the data.
    >>Issue: When a user issues a specification it maintains the Cross Reference data. This is an important concept because it is expected that a system like GSM will have many issues related to a single ERP #. ERP systems are usually not interested in many of the fields stored in the Product Data Management system.
    Reference: As raw materials are consumed as inputs into Formulation or Trade Specifications the organization may come to identify the materials based on equivalent numbers. Therefore GSM allows for an equivalent number to appear next to the GSM number.
    Implementation Issue:  Ingredients In Packaged Quantities
    Some customers run into a situation where the ingredient specification does not represent a packaged quantity. From an R&D perspective the developer does not care if the material comes in a box or a tanker. In this situation the GSM ingredient may be represented in the ERP system by many items and therefore more than one cross reference value. These items represent packaging differences that are important to purchasing, manufacturing, warehousing, and other execution systems.
    I hope this helps describe some of the purposes and implementation issues around the Cross Reference field.

    You need to get jmf.jar in your CLASSPATH, either on the command line, in an environment variable, by putting a symlink in $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext, whatever works for you. Have you done that? Once it's in the classpath, you can run jmstudio from any directory with the command "java JMStudio".
    Items in the bin directory are just shell scripts, run with "sh jmstudio" or whatever suits your shell (on Mac OS X, copy one of these guys and append ".command" to the filename to make him double-clickable in the Finder).

  • Maintaining internal word cross references in word import

    I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.1 trying to import Word 2007 (docx) in order to generate a WebHelp. I have adjusted my style mapping in order generate an appropriate TOC with books and matching sub chapters, which works fine. However, internal Word cross references from the original Word document are not transformed into hyperlinks.
    I have already tried/verified the following:
    - The "convert cross references to hyperlink" option is checked in the RH-Word import settings.
    - I also tried fiddling with the Framemaker options as it is suggested in another thread (see beneath), with no success.
    - Within the Word source document I tried both options with "use hyperlinks instead" when creating cross references.
    - The RH-HTML source, in all of my attempts, does not show any links in the corresponding locations.
    What may I be missing here? According to another, similar thread, the feature should work and is really not that challenging:
    "RH9 - Can not create ANY links in linked Word documents"
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854095?tstart=0

    In my testing, I got a link in the RH topic, but it wanted to launch the target Word doc instead of jumping to the desired RH topic. I'd say this sounds like a bug - so go ahead and report it.
