Is an XMP packet valid XML

I ask this question because I came upon a surprise in reviewing the XMP and XML specifications.
XML, it seems, must start <?xml ...>
But XMP can start <?xpacket ...>
It seems to me that this means that an XMP document/packet therefore, while it contains valid XML entities, is not of itself valid XML (but could be converted by adding a correct prolog). Is this correct? Or are we depending on the language in the XML spec which says "XML documents should begin with an XML declaration" (should rather than shall)?

I am having similar problem. Did you find the solution for this
thanks

Clarification on Adobe XMP Packet

I would like to add some custom data to JPG images we are generating in our app. After much research I think the best approach is to include this information in the XMP packet and save it to the image, thus eliminating the need for side-car file.
Few questions:
The data I would like include is basic XML format:
<Node1><SubNode1>Value</SubNode1>
</Node1>
etc..
Is this a correct assumption that I can add this type of data to my XMP metadata in my image?
The steps need to accomplish this are to:
Open the image using the SDK
Get the XMP data using the SDK
Use the SDK to add this custom data to XMP object
Save XMP packet back to image
Are these assumptions and ideas way-off base or am I close to being on the correct track for this?
Regards

Hi,
almost right..
You can't store XMP as pure XML. You need to use the XMP data model. Please read the XMP specification for more details:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp.html
The steps you described are correct. You will use XMPFiles from the SDK to open/close the files and get/put the data from/to the file. And you will use XMPCore as the datamodel to add custom properties before putting it back into the file.
Hope this helps,

Multiple XMP Packets. Why?

I've read the XMP specification and I did'nt understand why it's possible to have more than one XMP packet in a file.
I can't find any reason for that. I think it's not clear for a person to understand what is the "main" XMP packet taking a look inside a PDF file for example.
Why incremental saving don't write only one XMP packet uploading it?
Anyone knows the reason for that choice?
Davide Noaro.

Multiple XMP packets within a file have a tremendous value for enterprise customers. We offer an XMP-centric digital asset management system (MediaBeacon) that catalogs any file type and stores all data in XMP. XMP is then mirrored into an SQL database and we maintain the link between the two.
Multiple XMP packets within a file give our customers an opportunity to have separate metadata blocks for each department, for instance. We are able to specify which blocks are viewable and editable by a given user or group of users. So, each file can have any number of namespace aware (unlike XML) metadata fields or metadata blocks that are unique across the universe.
Using Pound Hill's software you can customize the way each tab looks.
Here's what these XMP blocks look like to the end user. They are all collapsible - below you can see only "XMP Basic" tab open.

Hi,
Your error message are not displaying because u does not made Message-Resoucrce property file (Resource Bundle) when you make it .
give it entry in

and
define key and corresponding error message to key in this ApplicationResources i.e

Generate Valid XML from pl/sql

Hi,
A new-bee here. I want to know how to generate a valid xml document. I have a schema which by the way includes two other schemas. This is the code I am using but I don't know how to make sure that I insert the child nodes in the right sequence. Any sample code that you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.
FUNCTION GenerateOrderXML(
          o_ErrorCode     OUT     NUMBER,
          o_ErrorText     OUT     VARCHAR2,

     v_MainNode     XMLDOM.DOMNode;
     v_RootElmt     XMLDOM.DOMElement;
     v_RootNode     XMLDOM.DOMNode;
     v_TmpCLOB     CLOB := ' ';

     v_RootNode := XMLDOM.appendChild(v_MainNode, XMLDOM.makeNode(v_RootElmt));
     -- Add OrderName, OrderType
     AddChild(v_Doc, v_RootNode, 'orderName', i_OrderName);
     AddChild(v_Doc, v_RootNode, 'orderType', 'NA');

     LOOP
          AddChild(v_Doc, v_RootNode, v_NameValue.XMLTAG, v_NameValue.XMLVALUE);
     END LOOP;

     XMLDOM.writeToClob(v_Doc, v_TmpCLOB);
     o_ErrorCode := 0;
     RETURN XMLType.createXML(v_TmpClob);
END;

The r was a typo. The messge is correct.
Here is another problem I am having. I can't import a schema that includes another schema. When I try to register the third schema I get the following error. The first two register without any errors and when I run this
select schema_url from user_xml_schemas;
I see
http://www.bbc.com/XMLSchema/sfi.xsd
http://www.bbc.com/XMLSchema/ProductModel.xsd
So why is my third schema not importing? Can you point me to any good documentation/tutorials on XML DB.
Note: Thank you for your help so far.

XML Publisher question - Not generating a valid XML file

I am working through an Oracle document that walks you through creating an XML Pub report. I am using HCM 8.9, Tools 8.49.15 and it has XML Pub installed and I have the Microsoft plug-in installed
I have created a query and have downloaded an rtf template and now am on a page where you enter your data source and then click ‘Generate’ for the sample data file. I did it and it created ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ which is created from a PS Query. However if I click on ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ it generates a blocky text file that is not an XML file and I can’t go any further.
Do you know why it’s not generating a valid XML file when I click on 'generate'?
Thanks

You mean to say that you create a new data source by specifying Data Source Type as 'PS Query' and Data Source ID as your query name, you are not able to generate a valid XML file (by clicking on Generate link).
did you cross check your query by running it?
On field change of Generate link, PeopleSoft uses PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER and PSXP_XMLGEN app packagaes and query objects to create the file
It should work if you query is valid..

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

Hi,
Please re-read the answer from Marc carefully. He was in the exact same situation as yours:
- Monitored system: NW CE 7.1
- CEN: NW 7.01 (same as NW 7.0 EhP1)
The link you posted is for CEN with NW 7.3 and monitored systems from NW 7.02 (and up). Read the paragraph below the Caution sign:
If you want to centrally monitor any system with a central monitoring system with release SAP NetWeaver 7.0, this procedure is not applicable. In this case, follow the procedure described in the newest Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 instead. You can obtain the Monitoring Setup Guide at the Internet address service.sap.com/operationsnw70 in the Monitoring area.
You should look for (and follow) the right Monitoring Setup Guide as mentioned.

Whats the difference between the two XMP packet tags

Hi,
I opened a file Bluesquare.indd(from XMP SDK sampke) and I found two XMP packets inside the file.
One packet with tag
and another one with tag
When I tried to extract the xmp using getXMP() method from XMPFiles then, I got the packet with tag
So can you tell me, what is the difference between two packets, why they are different
what is its use.
Thanks & Regards,

My feeling here is that simply changing join syntax and case vs decode issues is not going to give any significant improvement in performance, and as Tubby points out, there is not a lot to go on. I think you are going to have to investigate things along the line of parallel query and index vs full table scans as well any number of performance tuning methods before you will see any significant gains. I would start with the Performance Manual as a start and then follow that up with the hard yards of query plans and stats.
Alternatively, you could just set the gofast parameter to TRUE and everything will be all right.

Hi All,
May be an XML Expert can help me in understanding this XML Exception.

Can anyone please suggest under what cases we get this error.
When I monitor the request soap message using AXIS handlers, the soap
message seems to be valid and well-formed. The EJB deployment on WAS
4.0 is successfully and it can be successfully accessed by a ejb
client :
Thanks & Regards,

I am having similar problem. Did you find the solution for this

HTTP response does not contain a valid XML root tag

I am running into an error in my trace portion of my XML when executing my application. The error is "HTTP response does not contain a valid XML root tag". The HTTP request is successful with message 200 so it seems to be accepted by the Integration Engine. I looked for other posts on this error and only found one and it didn't show the resolution. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
Check these notes (do you use a split mapping?):
1) 1515230 XI mapping: "Root tag missing" in split mapping
2) 1640553 XI mapping: Split mapping: error Missing_Interface
Regards

--> Could not find cached enumeration value Custom.CI.Enum.PeripheralDevice.Printer for property Type, class BMC.Custom.CI.PeripheralDevice in enumeration cache.
You must specify either the Name or Guid of an enumeration of type Custom.CI.Enum.PeripheralDevice.Type.
Be sure that you are specifying the Name property of the enumeration value you want to set, and not the DisplayName; the Internal Name is something like "IncidentCategoryEnum.Category" for out of the box enumerations, or ENUM.210ADA2282FDABC3210ADA2282FDABC
for enumerations created in the console.
you can check this by finding the enumeration in the XML or by using the the
SMLets commandlet
Get-SCSMEnumeration | ?{$_.DisplayName –eq “Printer”}
and then checking your value with
Get-SCSMEnumeration -Name "ENUM.210ADA2282FDABC3210ADA2282FDABC"
and see if you get the right displayname back
