Problem with large option class during runtime 11.5.10

It seems like our Oracle Configurator has a problem with loading multiple large option classes with about 10,000 items under it. We are running 11.5.10. My guess is that Oracle has to load everything in the option class and at some point the server just gives up after loading so much data.
Basically the model looks like this and was set up by Oracle themselves in 04. Overtime the option classes grew.
--Base model
----Model A instance 1
--------option class
------------10000 items
----Model A instance 2
--------option class
------------10000 items
----Model A instance 50
--------option class
------------10000 items
Is there an optimal amount for an option class? Is the model structure possibly outdated and we should break up the option classes into models to alleviate some of the pain? Or are we at the limitation that Oracle Configurator can do and should peruse a custom solution?

Funny thing really because the Case study for Chapter 4 is from our company that Oracle put together for us and its not working in the sense that it seems the servers can't handle the current model structure. I wouldn't blame the UI for these crashes and we already hide stuff from the user (ie, having to sort through all 10,000 items and hiding the BOM structure). Quick story of why i want to try and fix it is becuase the way its set up now in the model document is that 3 people could kill the server by basically saying "ok i selected this item for this location" (which would load the 10,000 items into memory on the server and not to the UI upon selection of the model) and then they would say... "ok now copy this selection to all these 50 places" (which would load those items again for each place that the item had to copied to) and BOOM server dead. I think sandeeps diagram of the changes is a really good idea and could help out alot and I tossed out that idea a few times before around my work place to help with the server issues. I feel that it would work but is it also possible that maybe configurator can't support our model the way they are wanting it to work?

  • Out.println() problems with large amount of data in jsp page

    I have this kind of code in my jsp page:
    out.clearBuffer();
    out.println(myText); // size of myText is about 300 kbThe problem is that I manage to print the whole text only sometimes. Very often happens such that the receiving page gets only the first 40 kb and then the printing stops.
    I have made such tests that I split the myText to smaller parts and out.print() them one by one:
    Vector texts = splitTextToSmallerParts(myText);
    for(int i = 0; i < texts.size(); i++) {
      out.print(text.get(i));
      out.flush();
    }This produces the same kind of result. Sometimes all parts are printed but mostly only the first parts.
    I have tried to increase the buffer size but neither that makes the printing reliable. Also I have tried with autoFlush="false" so that I flush before the buffer size gets overflowed; again same result, sometimes works sometimes don't.
    Originally I use such a system where Visual Basic in Excel calls a jsp page. However, I don't think that this matters since the same problems occur if I use a browser.
    If anyone knows something about problems with large jsp pages, I would appreciate that.

    Well, there are many ways you could do this, but it depends on what you are looking for.
    For instance, generating an Excel Spreadsheet could be quite easy:
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class TableTest extends HttpServlet{
         public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException {
              response.setContentType("application/xls");
              PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(response.getOutputStream());
                    out.println("Col1\tCol2\tCol3\tCol4");
                    out.println("1\t2\t3\t4");
                    out.println("3\t1\t5\t7");
                    out.println("2\t9\t3\t3");
              out.flush();
              out.close();
    }Just try this simple code, it works just fine... I used the same approach to generate a report of 30000 rows and 40 cols (more or less 5MB), so it should do the job for you.

  • "problem with shortcut/fatal error during installation" on other user accts

    I-tunes installed and works with no problem in original user, but when another user account attempts to open Itunes, program attempts to install/configure again, then results in a "problem with shortcut / fatal error during installation" message. Setting the other users to administrators doesn't help, nor does un-installing/re-installing, etc. I am at least the 4th person with this problem (see Burthomp earlier today,Jan. 17 and Richard 1018 on Dec. 29). This problem started with Itunes 7.5, and is still a problem on Itunes 7.6. I have a standard Dell setup, Model E510. There must be a lot of people with this problem. Apple, are you working on this? Anyone else have a suggestion?

    I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
    If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".
    Here is how I corrected it:
    1) Shut down the computer and restart it in "safe mode". I had to look up how to do this, but I pressed F8 when it was restarting and I highlighted the "safe mode" and started the machine. The icons will be large, but ignore it.
    2) Open a user that has administrative access -- I used the one user that has access to itunes.
    3) Go to My Computer\Local Disk (C:) and right click on the "Program Files" folder. Select "properties" at the bottom.
    4) Go to the Security Tab
    5) At the top you should see one or two users that have access to the Programs File. One will be the user that itunes works on. Click Add, then click Advanced, then click Find Now.
    6) At the bottom should appear a list of users. Select a user on which itunes doesn't work. Click Ok, then click OK again.
    7) Give that user full access to the Program File by putting a check mark in the Full Access box.
    8) Repeat for the remaining users.
    9) Restart computer in normal mode.
    10) Go into a user that had problems and click the itunes icon, and it should run.
    It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

  • Problems with large scanned images

    I have been giving Aperture another try since 1.1 came out, and I am still having problems with large tiff files derived from scanned 4x5 negatives. The files are 500mb or more, 16 bit RGB, with ProPhoto RGB or Ektaspace PS5 profiles, directly out of the scanner.
    Aperture imports the files correctly, and shows their thumbnails. When I select a thumbnail "Loading" is displayed briefly, and the the dreaded "Unsupported Image Format" is displayed. Sometimes "Loading" goes on for a while, and a geometric pattern (looking like a rendering of random memory) is displayed. Restarting Aperture doesn't help.
    Lower resolution (250mb, 16bit) files are handled properly. The scans are from an Epson 4870 scanner. I have tried pulling the scans into Photoshop and resaving with various tiff options, and as PSD with no improvement. I have the same problem with corrected/modified psd files coming out of Photoshop CS2.
    I am running on a Power Mac G5 dual 2ghz with 8gb of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL (250mb) video card, with all the latest OS and software updates.
    Has anyone else had similar problems? More importantly, is anyone else able to work with 500mb files of any kind? Is it my system, or is it the software? I sent feedback to Apple as well.
    dual g5 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have a few (well actually about 100) scans on my system of >500Mb. I tried loading a few and am getting an inconsistent pattern of errors that correlates with what you are reporting.
    I imported 4 files and three were troubled, the fouth was OK. I imported another four files and the first one was OK and the three others had your reported error, also the previously good file from the first import was now showing the same 'unsupported' image' message.
    I would venture to say that if you shoot primarily 4x5 and work with scans of this size that Aperture is not the program for you--right now. I shoot 35mm and have a few images that I have scanned at 8000dpi on my Imacon 848 but most of my files are in the more reasonable 250Mb range (35mm @ 5000dpi).
    I will probably downsample my 8000dpi scans to 5000dpi and not worry to much about it. In a world where people believe that 16 megapixels is hi-res you are obviously on the extreme side.(Good for you!) You should definately file a bug report but I wouldn't expect much help anytime soon for your super-sized scans.

  • RESOLVED - K8N Neo2 Platinum problem with large Seagate disk

    Hi All,
    I've been running this system for 4 years and I'm very happy with it. But I've run into a problem:
    I'm trying to exchange my 120 GB Seagate Barracuda systemdisk with a 500 GB Barracuda and I can't install XP with SP2.
    First I tried to clone the old HD with Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image. The cloning looked fine but after taking the old HD out and moving the new one to P-ATA 1 as Primary Master I get an "error - no operating system found". I also tried a fresh install from CD. After the CD reboots the system I get the same error.
    The HD is present in BIOS with the right parameters and all is looking well - but still no go.
    I've fiddled around in BIOS (vers. 1.3) with the different settings (LBA, Large, Auto, Csh.) The last 2 options gives the "no operating system" error and the first 2 gives a "disk error" although Seagate says that I should change settings to "LBA".
    I only have the new HD in the machine. I also tried fixboot and fixmbr. I can see all the installed files when I put it in as a slave.
    So my question is:
    Does the K8N Neo2 Platinum have a problem with large hd's as system disk?
    Or is this a Seagate or Windows problem ?
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Mads

    Actually that was the first thing I did just to see if the drive worked :-) - except that I had it as master on the second ide cable. It formats like it should and all partitions report "healthy". The only difference is that the new drives c-partition is set as active (can't find a way to change it back)  - while the old one is set as system. Could this make a difference ?
    Since neither cloning nor a fresh install works I think the problem is something else. Maybe I should try Seatools and see if that makes any difference.
    Thank's all for help so far! - Other suggestions ?

  • Problems with JSP-ApplicationModule pooling in runtime

    Hello!
    I have an urgent Problem with the ApplicationModule Pooling in Runtime. The Application uses JSP with BC4J and is deployed on Tomcat 3.1 and MS IIS 4.0 (The Client want to use this MS-Product). We use JDev 3.1.1.2 for development.
    Now my Problem:
    A user start the IE4 and log on to the application and it works fine. They log off and log in again a second time and then the user gets a NullPointerException at the point when the Application wants to checkout a new instance from the ApplicationModule Pool. The next time he logs on it works fine again and the next time not and so on. Every second time the user logs on he gets a NullPointerException.
    But there are three AdminUsers and with these users are no Problems.
    Can anyone help me or has someone the same problems?
    Greetings
    Thorsten

    There are a number of pooling problems fixed in JDeveloper 3.2. You can also step into the pooling code by using remote debugging to figure out why you are encountering this problem.

  • IPhoto performance problems with large library

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina (2013 model) with top-of-line options. The hardware specs are 2.6Ghz Core i7 (8 cores), 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks).
    The machine came with iPhoto 11 (v9.5.1). I successfully ported my iPhoto library from my old MacBook Pro to the new machine. The iPhoto library is about 550 GB on disk, and consists of about 2000 Events, 95000 Photos, and about 50 Albums & Smart Albums. The images in the library are a mix of JPEG, RAW and other content types such as MOV and AVI etc.
    I have measured the performance of the internal SSD with tools like Black Magic and seen read & write speeds in excess of 850 MB/sec (obviously sequential). This is the fastest disk performance of any machine I've ever worked on, so I question whether iPhoto is slow because of this.
    Despite the formidable hardware resources of this machine (proven running other workloads), iPhoto still behaves like a dog with my library. Opening iPhoto takes about 10 seconds to get to the first screen. Deleting a bunch of photos will result in a spinning disc for about 10-15 seconds while the images move to the Trash. Emptying the trash with 500-1000 photos takes about 15 minutes. Reorganizing events can take up to 30 seconds. Even browsing from photo to photo incurs lags of several seconds. This lack of response time makes the sw frustrating if not impossible to use efficiently.
    During all these delays I have monitored system perfromance with various tools like Activity Monitor and iStat Menus. The odd thing is that when iPhoto is spinning its disc I am not seeing any kind of system resource bottleneck. In other worlds, CPU is barely utilized on any of the 8 cores, disk IO is minimal, and there is zero network IO. To ensure maximum RAM utilization, I run iPhoto after a fresh reboot and do not launch any other apps while it's running. For the life of me I cannot imagine what iPhoto is doing.
    I have also tried several of the library recover / rebuild options as well, but no problems were reported with the library and performance did not improve.
    I am considering upgrading to Aperture, but I wonder if both these solutions have serious design limitations when working on large libraries, which result in significant performance issues.
    I would be interested in learning what experience other users have when working on iPhoto libraries of similar size.
    Summary:
    iPhoto library size on disk: 550 GB
    Events: approx 2,000
    Photos: approx 95,000
    Albums & Smart Albums: approx 100
    Regards,
    Nico

    Hi Léonie, All the sw is at latest update. The library was simply copied from the old machine to the new machine. When I launched the new version of iPhoto (on the new machine) I pointed it to the copied iPhoto library and it picked it up without any issue. The first time I opened it, iPhoto spent some time migrating the data format from the old iPhoto version to the new, but that was done only once. I am not sharing the library between the old iPhoto and new; now the migrated library is for the exclusive use of the new iPhoto.
    Regarding error messages in syslog, it's quite funny, I do see them, and they reflect the fact that iPhoto has gone off to la-la land for extended periods of time, ignoring all user input (this is what results in the spinning disc in Mac OS):
    1/28/14 9:16:18.792 PM WindowServer[127]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "iPhoto" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
    1/28/14 9:16:20.926 PM WindowServer[127]: common_reenable_update: UI updates were finally reenabled by application "iPhoto" after 3.13 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds)
    So that was a common 3 second "hang" of iPhoto. Nothing apart from those kinds of messages.
    Thanks for the links to iStat... i do in fact have the latest version of it and don't have that problem with Mavericks.

  • Problem with  large databases.

    Lightroom doesn't seem to like large databases.
    I am playing catch-up using Lightroom to enter keywords to all my past photos. I have about 150K photos spread over four drives.
    Even placing a separate database on each hard drive is causing problems.
    The program crashes when importing large numbers of photos from several folders. (I do not ask it to render previews.) If I relaunch the program, and try the import again, Lightroom adds about 500 more photos and then crashes, or freezes again.
    I may have to go back and import them one folder at a time, or use iView instead.
    This is a deal-breaker for me.
    I also note that it takes several minutes after opening a databese before the HD activity light stops flashing.
    I am using XP on a dual core machine with, 3Gigs of RAM
    Anyone else finding this?
    What is you work-around?

    Christopher,
    True, but given the number of posts where users have had similar problems ingesting images into LR--where LR runs without crashes and further trouble once the images are in--the probative evidence points to some LR problem ingesting large numbers.
    I may also be that users are attempting to use LR for editing during the ingestion of large numbers--I found that I simply could not do that without a crash occuring. When I limited it to 2k at a time--leaving my hands off the keyboard-- while the import occured, everything went without a hitch.
    However, as previously pointed out, it shouldn't require that--none of my other DAMs using SQLite do that, and I can multitask while they are ingesting.
    But, you are right--multiple single causes--and complexly interrated multiple causes--could account for it on a given configuration.

  • A problem with struts -  DispatchAction class

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem with DispatchAction class in struts 1.1.
    Here is my senario:
    I have a two classes that extend DispatchAction - classA and classB.
    In classA, I have a start method. In classB, I have two methods - display and submit.
    When my application starts, my index.jsp does a logic:forward to the struts-config.xml file.
    e.g.:
    index.jsp<logic:forward name="startApp"/>
    struts-config.xml<form-beans>
         <form-bean name="testFormBean" type="package.testFormBean">
         </form-bean>
    </form-beans>
    <global-forwards>
         <forward name="startApp" path="/startApp.do?method=start"/>
    </global-forwards>
    <action-mappings>
         <action name="testFormBean"
    path="/startApp"
    parameter="method"
    validate="false"
    scope="request"
    type="package.StartAppActions">
         <forward name="successOneUser" path="/runSearch.do?method=display"/>
         </action>
         <action name="testBean"
    path="/runSearch"
    parameter="method"
    validate="false"
    scope="request"
    type="package.SearchActions">
                   <forward name="success" path="/html/jsps/success.jsp"/>
         </action>
    </action-mappings>
    when my application starts, the control goes to the index.jsp and then because of the logic forward goes to the start method of the /startApp action(i.e. the StartAppActions class). I return a ActionForward element with the value of "successOneUser".
    Uptill this point everything works fine.
    But now it should go the /runSearch element (i.e. SearchActions class) and the display method of it. But it is not going there. The error I am getting is action[runSearch] does not have a method named "start".
    I checked the value for the method parameter using the RAD/WSAD debugger, the value of parameter is "method" is still "start".
    I do not understand why it is not overiding the value of parameter "method" with display even though I am doing a
    <forward name="successOneUser" path="/runSearch.do?method=display"/> in the /startApp element, which should send the control to the display method of the [runSearch] element (i.e. in the startActions class).
    Can anyone tell me what the problem is ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    A direct connection to a remote printer is not recommended as per the SAP Note #64628.
    The best option is to define the printer locally on the SAP server with Access method L for Unix or Access Method C for windows. If you need to use remote Access Method U or S, you should use a print server in between the SAP system and the printers.

  • Problem with large data report

    I tried to run a template I got from release 12 using data from the release we are using (11i). The xml file is about 13,500 kb. when i run it from my desktop.

    The report will probably fail in a production environment if you don't have enough heap. 13 megs is a big xml file for the parsers to handle, it will probably crush the opp. The whole document has to be loaded into memory and perserving the relationships in the documents is probably whats killing your performance. The opp or foprocessor is not using the sax parser like the bursting engine does. I would suggest setting a maximum range on the amount of documents that can be created and submit in a set of batches. That will reduce your xml file size and performance will increase.
    An alternative to the pervious approach would be to write a concurrent program that merges the pdfs using the document merger api. This would allow you to burst the document into a temp directory and then re-assimilate them it one document. One disadvantage of this approach is that the pdf is going to be freakin huge. Also, if you have to send that piggy to the printer your gonna have some problems too. When you convert it pdf to ps the files are going to be massive because of the loss of compression, it's gets even worse if the pdf has images......Then'll you have a more problems with disk on the server and or running out of memory on ps printers.
    All of things I have discussed I have done in some sort of fashion. Speaking from experience your idea of 13 meg xml file is just a really bad idea. I would go with option one.

  • Problems with using Option key when starting up

    I have 3 internal drives using a PCI card (2 slots) that allows me to use large drives with more capacity than stock allowance on my G4 Quicksilver 867 mhz 1.5 GB RAM tower.
    All drives are Seagate Baracudas ATA: 2-400GBs and 1-200GB. I bought the 400s at the same time.
    My main drive has OSX 10.4.11 (#1), and it is backed up to Baracuda #2 (400GB) which is a slave to my Main drive (using SuperDuper All files for a mirror bootable copy). The 3rd drive has Leopard 10.5.1 for learning and trying Leopard.
    On the second PCI slot is the smaller 200GB Baracuda.
    After backing up using SuperDuper (Main to #2) as a mirror, I see #2 in the Apple > Prefs > Start Up Disk.
    After the first backup I can see all 3 drives when using Option key at startup, but instead of seeing the names of each drive under the normal hard disk icons, #2 has a SCSI icon underneath the hard drive icon, it's name (Mac BU) is missing and I can't start up to it. The other #1 and #3 looked as expected. I chose #1, it launched, fine.
    On second backup, #2 is still in Prefs > Start up Disk panel, but this time doesn't show up on when using the Option key at start up. I have replicated this, but erasing #2, rebacking up twice.
    With only the #1 and #3 drives showing at start up with Option key and #1 selected in the Start up Disk panel, I chose #3 (Leopard) in the Option window view, and my G4 froze at the gray apple screen. I hard shut downed, powered up and the G4 defaulted to Main (10.4.11)
    I selected #3 Leopard in Prefs > Start Up Disk, restarted OK.
    I restarted with the Option key (only #1 and #3 show) and now my main drive didn't have it's name only the SCSI icon under the normal hard disk icon like #3 was doing. UGH!
    Nervously, I chose #3 with Leopard and the G4 started up to it OK.
    I then reselected my Main #1 drive in the Start Up Disk panel, restarted to #1 OK.
    OK, problems summary:
    1) I can't use SuperDuper to create a blessed bootable #2 drive at Option start up, but I mention this for more info about a possible problem at Option startup, more than I want comment on SuperDuper potential bug / conflict.
    2) I didn't try choosing #3 in the Start Up Disk panel, as I was affraid the G4 would freeze and then I might not be able to select either of the other #1 or #3 at Option start up as something is wrong with using Option key start up, and #3 would have been selected in Start Up Panel, which I was afraid I might not be able to get to again.
    2) When I start up either of #1 or #3, I get momentary black screens after the gray apple screen at Option key start up and then again after the apple progress bar. This doesn't happen when I start up directly either drive when the drives are selected using the Start Up Disk panel
    When using the Option startup, I am experiencing the above problems.
    Whew, I know, but does anyone have any input and fixes?
    Thanks, in advance,
    Steven

    Hi Dave.
    Well... good news / bad news
    Turns out, I have an Acard 6280M and have 3 drives connected to it as mentioned (#1 & 2 are mirrored using SuperDuper with 10.5.1, #3 is a clean install off a new Apple OSX disk 10.5, then updated to 10.5.1)
    I also have a Firewire external drive, that I used SuperDuper to make it a mirror of #1, using the same procedure backing up #1 to #2, to test SuperDuper.
    The firmware update directions tells you to start up off a drive not on the PCI card, I used #4.
    While running off #1, I selected #4 in the Start Up disk pref and it booted OK! This seems to rule out SuperDuper being the problem - of creating a mirror from #1 to #2 (both on the Acard) and then not seeing #2 in the Option key boot screen.
    I applied the firmware, which directs you to first update the Acard driver to 2.06, which is included in the folder with the firmware updater.
    I did this and then applied the firmware updater.
    I then applied the driver upgrade to drives #1 and #2 (10.4.11) while running off #4. I did not apply the driver update to #3 (10.5.1) and restarted, using Option key.
    All 4 drives appeared successfully on screen as expected with their names!
    Then I selected each drive one by one:
    #1 = kernal panic. Hard shut down, used Option key again
    #2 = kernal panic, same as #1
    #3 = froze at gray Apple screen - no spinning gear. Hard shut down.
    Tthankfully, left Start Up disk pref to be #4 external and on restart, let the system boot off without going to the Option screen. #4 booted OK. Whew...
    So all 3 drives on the Acard, won't boot. I was concerned it was the 2.06 driver, but since it wasn't applied to #3 Leopard drive, I'm assuming the firmware is the issue and perhaps not compatible with 10.4.11 or 10.5.1?
    Two things I've not tried:
    1) With #4 selected in Sys Prefs, then using Option key and selecting #4 there too to see if using the Option key selector is a problem too.
    2) Selecting any of #1, #2, or #3 drives in Sys Prefs and restarting without Option key selector.
    My fear is that if my last working drive #4 isn't the default drive set in Sys Prefs, if Acard isn't the problem alone and there is also a problem selecting any drive using the Option key - even #4, then if #4 isn't the default and all 3 Acard drives panic on regular boot (non-Option key) and I have to hard restart, will keep defaulting to whatever drive I set in the Sys Prefs and not be able to get back to #4.
    Should I just go to my local computer store and see if they have a newer model PCI card and trash my existing one as I may have ruined it with the firmware updater?
    Thoughts?

  • Load Class during Runtime

    1.How to load the class during run time with out creating an instance of an object?.
    Eg.
    class A,class b,class C,class D
    1.Class D extends Applet get some values from the html through getparameter method.
    2.Class C get the values from the Class A.
    3.class A,B Extends Frame class ,it get the values from Class C.
    Problem:=
    In Class D ,I Create an object for class A & call a method in that class A which is decalred as public in Init() method of on class D.After that i should down load the class B in Internet and i should call a particular public method in that class in the same Class D.is it possible through Class t = Class.forName("B"),method.invoke(). how can i use this class to do that?i need the example Applet Program for that?that applet should work in all browser.(Appilicable for java1.1)

    If it's a static method, just call it in the usual way:B.someStaticMethod();This will load the class and execute the method. If it's an instance method, you will need an instance of the object to call it.

  • Problems with generating persistent classes

    I've been following the tutorial for generating persistent classes from a
    DB. I'm not having much luck:
    First, with rd-schemagen, how do you tell it to only work on a specific
    schema? I run "rd-schemagen -file schema.xml NBS_ODS_101", but it still
    generates the schema file for all schemas in the DB. Is there a usage
    option for the tool (I haven't been able to find it yet)?
    Second, I have the following tables in my DB: ACT, ACT_ID, ENTITY,
    ENTITY_ID. When rd-reversemappingtool runs on these tables, it creates an
    ID class for ACT (ActId) which conflicts with the class generated for
    ACT_ID (ActId). Since renaming the tables is not an option and I really
    don't want to have to rename classes and change the mapping file every
    time I regenerate, what is a solution for this problem?
    Third, if I do the latter above so I can run the importtool and then I
    run "rd-importtool test\test.mapping", it runs successfully for a bit
    while spitting out information until I get this:

    I apologize for the documentation in this area. We're going to upgrade
    the tool and the documentation to a more recent version from our internal
    R&D codebase when our 2.5 release comes out in the next couple of weeks.
    This release will also include a system for customizing the tool's output
    in many more ways.This works:
    rd-schemagen -file schema.xml -indexes false -schemas NBS_ODS_101
    but this does not:
    rd-schemagen -file schema.xml -indexes false -schemas NBS_ODS_101,NBS_SRT_
    101
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:

    good way to tell you to work around it for now, unfortunately.I renamed the ID classes to ActOid and EntityOid and changed the .jdo file
    to reflect that. Do you see any problems with this strategy?

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerExceptionCan you please send the generated .mapping, .jdo, and .java files?
    Unless you want to wait until the 2.5 improvements to debug.I will send you all the files in a zip file by email.
