So i think my config is ok. There is a bug in this ant bpelTest which ignores the domain?

XML Developer's Kit for Java for Oracle 8i

Hello,
I want to download XML Developer's Kit for Java for Oracle 8i but I find only for Oracle 9i in the download site. I previously had download this for Oracle 8i. So I guess it should have moved to some other place and I am just not able to find it.
Can anyone let me know where I can download the XDK kit for Java for Oracle 8i?
Thanks.

CE7.1 - Developer vs Production Edition for a DEV system

Hi,
Can someone please confirm if it is REALY necasary to use the Dev Edition for the server side of our CE Developement system if we are planning a full Dev->QA->Prod environment? Does the Dev Ed install componenets not installed by the Prod Ed?
Seems like the Dev Ed can only go on Win32. We like to keep the landscape the same and install all three systems (Dev,Qa,Prod) on Win 2003 64bit server.
If I can use the Prod ed for the installation of the DEV system it will be great.
Thanks,
Adriaan

Hi Adriaan,
in my oppinion you shouldn't have any disadvantage from using the productive edition of CE. The Dev. Ed. is only needed for local development on a developer's PC, not when you use a central development system as described. Only remeber to change the system template to a development system template via configtool.

Michael

Announcement: OrindaBuild 5.0 Extension for SQL Developer 1.5.1

Folks,
OrindaBuild is now available as an extension for SQL Developer 1.5.1.
OrindaBuild creates Java source code to run your existing PL/SQL. This is a non-trivial task and for large projects can consume hundreds on man hours as well as delay development.
OrindaBuild does roughly the same thing that JPublisher does, but writes human readable code, doesn't need SQLJ and doesn't require that you use oracle TYPE objects as parameters for records and arrays.
Another way of thinking of OrindaBuild is "We reach that parts of your application that Hibernate can't".
OrindaBuild is available as extensions for JDeveloper and SQL Developer 1.1. After an unreasonably long gestation OrindaBuild is now available as an extension for SQL Developer 1.5.1 The delay has been caused by us rewriting both the JDeveloper and SQL Developer extensions so that code base has now been unforked. We've also standardized the functionality with that of our recently upgraded Eclipse extension.
To install the demo select 'Help/Check for updates' and then use the 'Add' button to create an update center for Orinda Software using this URL:
http://www.orindasoft.com/public/sqldev15Center.xml
Functionality:
The demo version is fully playable, with the only limitation being that it expires after 1 month. You can install the demo multiple times.
In addition to generating Java to call PL/SQL it also allows you to create code to run any SQL statement and access database tables.
OrindaBuild generates code for PL/SQL procedures that take %ROWTYPE and Package Records as parameters. Generated code uses a library. If you buy OrindaBuild you get the source code for the library and end up with a 100% source code solution - i.e. there are no mysterious runtime binary dependencies.
Limitations:
The extension does not work with versions of SQLDeveloper prior to 1.5.1 (build 5440). We expect you to buy a licence if you deploy generated code in a production environment.
For more information see
http://www.orindasoft.com/public/sdefeatures.php4

It is possible that the patch has replaced you shortcut with one pointing to the version within the 11g home. Try running sqldeveloper directly from the executable in the 151 directory.

(268625273) Q WSI-29 Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?

Q<WSI-29> Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?
A<WSI-29>: It is very difficult to quantify performance aspects of web services
since they depend on so many variables including but not limited to: backend system
processing by stateless session beans and message driven beans, size of XML SOAP
message sent, system hardware (CPU speed, parallel processing, RAM speed) and
system software (JVM type and version of WebLogic server). However, let me point
out that the EJB backend processing of requests both have the best possible scalability
within the EJB2.0 specification (both stateless session and message driven beans
can be pooled) and servlets have a proven scalable track record. Thus it should
be possible to scale your web service deployment to meet demand. The overhead
in processing XML within the servlet can be significant depending on the size
of XML data (either as a parameter or a return type). While WLS6.1 does not have
any features to address this performance concern, WLS7.0 will feature Serializer
and Deserializer classes which can be dedicated to the XML to Java and Java to
XML translation (they can also be automatically be generated from a DTD, XML Schema
or regular JavaBean).
It is true that web services are not the fastest way to process client requests
but BEA is committed to making WebLogic server the fastest possible service provider.

Lack of SD benchmarks for zSeries platform

There are no zSeries systems included in the SAP standard SD benchmarks, therefore it is difficult to compare a zSeries system with other platforms available for running SAP. I have, therefore, two questions:
1. Does anyone have any benchmarking data for SAP on the zSeries platform that can be used to compare against other SAP platforms?
2. What is the typical number of MIPS for SAP on DB2 for zSeries?
We plan to support approximately 300 users, mostly in ECC 6.0, but will also be running SM, BI, XI, and Portal (all the latest versions as of Netweaver 7.0). We will have the typical development, QA, and production landscape for all of these SAP solutions and also several sandbox systems for technical testing.
Bottom line, does ~1100 MIPS each in 2 CECs for DB2 seem reasonable, or way undersized? Again, it is difficult to do any comparison to other platforms because of the lack of benchmark data and IBM will not tell us how many SAPs our current setup has.
Thanks for any information anyone can provide.

Brandis,
No, the official answer I got was that SAP/IBM have not done the standard SD benchmark on DB2 for z/OS since sometime in the early 2000's.
IBM has stated that they don't feel the standard SD benchmark or the number of SAPs a system has properly reflect the value of the Z platform. Eventually we did get a SAPs rating for our Z systems, but we are not allowed to share this data.
It is quite hard to compare various solutions and their costs if there is no benchmarking data available for one of the platforms.

Using Acrobat SDK for Unix development environment

Hi,
Can it be possible for me to use Acrobat SDK for Unix development environment as a server application??If yes, what are the things that should be installed on the client side to make sure that the client should be able see the produced PDF files?? Kindly help me in this regard..

I use Interop.Acrobat.dll as a .NET project reference to open and resave PDF documents. I'd like to do all things I mentioned above.
After years and years, I have concluded that if you do serious PDF development, you need a set of libraries. For instance, if you are doing typesetting type of work ("vertical center", "horizontal center", "margin", etc., etc) , there is an excellent library from a guy in Germany (land of Johannes Gutenberg and printing presses)...
... which turned out to be useless in my next project which dealt with AcroForms.
I know exactly what you mean by "the final truth", sometimes I wish Adobe had some sort of official validating tool (like XML does).
Per your comments, I would recommend you to consider this library. It is available in all languages and its output is the same quality as Adobe's or at least in the same league:

If you want to comment further, we must go to a different forum, since we are not supposed to discuss any non-Adobe products here.

XML Developer's Kit Home

We installed HSD6i in out "Usertest" database and access to the DEMO, Utilities and Administration was successful via our IAS WEB setup.
We then proceeded to inst HSD6i in our "Production" database. Both installations were done using the manual install method.
For reason unknown, we cannot sign-on to the DEMO, Utilities or Admin tolls in our Production environment and only the Utilities tool works in our Usertest database.
The error message we get after entering the username, password and connect string is :
FRM-40735 ON-ERROR Trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06508
We are stumped.
Any suggestions about where to start looking?
Both installations - Usertest & Production -went smoothly with tno errors.
Thanks.

Is it possible to install Oracle XML Developer's Kit 9i and use it with an Oracle 7.3.4 database or does it require a 9i database? If it doesn't support this, is there an alternative way to use the functionality that the kit provides with Oracle 7.3.4? You can use the XDK on the cient-side and mid-tier.

Why SAP has taken Java for their development instead of ABAP completely

Hi
I am Neelima, new to SAP and abap,
Can u please explain
Why SAP has taken Java for their development instead of ABAP completely
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Neelima

Hi Neelima ,
Answer to Q . Why SAP has taken Java for their development instead of ABAP completely ?
First of all in my view SAP has not taken Java as Such instead of ABAP .
But you nowdays whole lot of java is coming in SAP by doors of SAP NetWeaver .
Now why they choosed java only <b> IN MY VIEW</b>
1)     Java is open source so SAP in tie up with SUN can develop SAP specific APIs and thats what happenings . In Net Weaver Developer studio (NDS of SAP like eclipe of Java ) we use packages ,classes , methods for SAP.
2)     In my view Java is rocking in Web world , Every single popular product ( like IBM MQ series , Oracle Apps ) is making use Java for making things web based .
So why not SAP .
3)     Now data ultimately data is getting saved in XML . And java is best to deal with that . In SAP also Idoc data is stored in XML and so same data can be used anywhere inspite of Platform , technology .
4)     Java has much established base of web Solution , Web services .They have got beautiful architecture so that Best Web sevices can be developed with EJB (Enter prise java beans ) , sturts and all .
5)     Now Its time for SAP to be Mobile Enabled .i.e. to Run SAP over PDA , Blackberry .Such solutions possible with SAP + Java combination .Java provides that framework to understand Mobile OS platform.
6)     Another thing now Its time of EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) . Integration is future . Multiple product integrated and used togetherly , exchanges data. Take case SAPs message goes to Sieble , people soft .For this Java + XML is best suied as both product understand it .
Utimately SAP is Using java to provide Best Web ERP solutions
But it does not mean ABAP is not there. With webDynpro ABAP you can do every thing that WD java does . In fact incase if you have existing ABAP recourses then use WD ABAP for developing web services in SAP. In uses OO ABAP as base programming language .
Please refer to this link
IS Webdynpro for ABAP/JAVA is same?
so hope your question is cleared
Cheers

Performance Benchmarks for WL

Does anyone know what the definition of a "Transaction" is in the performance benchmarks published by Bea?
How many session bean calls, entity beans calls, etc.
THanks

If you want to stick with Sun jdk, and don't want to see the error
messages, set weblogic.system.nativeIO.enable=false in
weblogic.properties. I wouldn't go to NT, because if you can afford it
Solaris on SPARC will be your fastest most reliable platform. We have
Solaris SPARC for production, and do our development on Lintel. For us
staying in a POSIX environment overall keeps things like startup,
environment setting, and make type scripts all on the same page.

GeoRaptor 3.0 for SQL Developer 3.0 and 2.1 has now been released

Folks,
I am pleased to announce that, after 5 months of development and testing, a new release of GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 2.1 and 3.0 is now available.
GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 3 is available via the SQL Developer Update centre. GeoRaptor 3 for SQL Developer 2.1 is being made available
via a download fro the GeoRaptor website.
No release notes have been compiled as the principal developer (oops, that's me!) is currently busy doing real work for a change (another 3 weeks), earning a living
and keeping the wolves at bay. More extensive notes (with images) will be compiled when I get back. (Unless anyone is offering! See next.)
We are still looking for people to:
1. Provide translations of the English dialog menus etc.
2. Write more extensive user documentation. If you use a particular part of GeoRaptor a lot and think
you have found out all its functionality and quirks, contact us and offer to write a few pages of
documentation on it. (Open Office or Microsoft Word is fine.) Easiest way to do this is to simply
make screen captures and annotate with text.
3. Conduct beta testing.
Here are the things that are in the new release.
New functionality:
Overhaul of Validation Functionality.
1. User can specify own validation SELECT SQL as long as it returns three required columns. The SQL is thus totally editable.
2. Validation update code now allows user to associate a PL/SQL function with an error number which is applied in the UPDATE SQL.
3. UPDATE SQL can use WHERE clause of validation SELECT SQL (1) to update specific errors.
   NOTE: The generated UPDATE statement can be manually edited. It is NEVER run by GeoRaptor. To run any UPDATE, copy the statement
   to the clipboard and run in an appropriate SQL Worksheet session within SQL Developer.
4. Main validation table allows:
   a. Sorting (click on column header) and
   b. Filtering.
   c. Copying to Clipboard via right mouse click sub menu of:
      - Geometry's SDO_ELEM_INFO array constructor.
      - SDO_GEOMETRY constructor
      - Error + validation string.
   d. Access to Draw/Zoom functions which were previously buttons.
   e. Added a new right mouse click menu "Show Feature's Individual Errors" that gathers up all the errors
      it can process - along with the ring / element that is host to the error (if it can) - and displays
      them in the Attribute/Geometry tabs at the bottom of the Map Window (where "Identify" places its results).
      The power of this will be evident to all those who have wanted a way of stepping through errors in a geometry.
   f. Selected rows can now be deleted (select rows: press <DELETE> key or right mouse click>Delete).
   g. Table now has only one primary key column, and has a separate error column holding the actual error code.
   h. Right mouse click men added to table menu to display description of error in the new column (drawn from Oracle documentation)
   i. Optimisations added to improve performance for large error lists.
5. Functionality now has its own validation layer that is automatically added to the correct view.
   Access to layer properties via button on validation dialog or via normal right mouse click in view/layer tree.
Improved Rendering Options.
1. Linestring colour can now be random or drawn from column in database (as per Fill and Point colouring)
2. Marking of SDO_GEOMETRY objects overhauled.
   - Ability to mark or LABEL vertices/points of all SDO_GEOMETRY types with coordinate identifier and
     option {X,Y} location. Access is via Labelling tab in layer>properties. Thus, coordinate 25 of a linestring
     could be shown as: <25> or {x,y} or <25> {x,y}
   - There is a nice "stacked" option where the coordinate {x,y} can be written one line below the id.
   - For linestrings and polygons the <id> {x,y} label can be oriented to the angle between the vectors or
     edges that come in, and go out of, a vertex. Access is via "Orient" tick box in Labelling tab.
   - Uses Tools>Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation>SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY bracket around x,y string.
3. Start point of linestring/polygon and all other vertices can be marked with user selectable point marker
   rather than previously fixed markers.
4. Can now set a NULL point marker by selecting "None" for point marker style pulldown menu.
5. Positioning of the arrow for linestring/polygons has extra options:
   * NONE
   * START    - All segments of a line have the arrow positioned at the start
   * MIDDLE   - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the middle.
   * END      - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the END.
   * END_ONLY - Only the last segment has an arrow and at its end.
ScaleBar.
1. A new graphic ScaleBar option has been added for the map of each view.
   For geographic/geodetic SRIDs distances are currently shown in meters;
   For all SRIDs an attempt is made to "adapt" the scaleBar units depending
   on the zoom level. So, if you zoom right in you might get the distance shown
   as mm, and as you zoom out, cm/m/km as appropriate.
2. As the scaleBar is drawn, a 1:<DEMONINATOR> style MapScale value is written
   to the map's right most status bar element.
3. ScaleBar and MapScale can be turned off/on in View>Properties right mouse
   click menu.
Export Capabilities.
1. The ability to export a selection from a result set table (ie result of
   executing ad-hoc SQL SELECT statement to GML, KML, SHP/TAB (TAB file
   adds TAB file "wrapper" over SHP) has been added.
2. Ability to export table/view/materialised view to GML, KML, SHP/TAB also
   added. If no attributes are selected when exporting to a SHP/TAB file, GeoRaptor
   automatically adds a field that holds a unique row number.
3. When exporting to KML:
   * one can optionally export attributes.
   * Web sensitive characters < > & etc for KML export are replaced with > < & etc.
   * If a column in the SELECTION or table/view/Mview equals "name" then its value is
     written to the KML tag <name> and not to the list of associated attributes.
     - Similarly for "description" -> <description> AND "styleUrl" -> <styleUrl>
4. When exporting to GML one can optionally export attributes in FME or OGR "flavour".
5. Exporting Measured SDO_GEOMETRY objects to SHP not supported until missing functionality
   in GeoTools is corrected (working with GeoTools community to fix).
6. Writing PRJ and MapInfo CoordSys is done by pasting a string into appropriate export dialog box.
   Last value pasted is remembered between sessions which is useful for users who work with a single SRID.
7. Export directory is remembered between sessions in case a user uses a standard export directory.
8. Result sets containing MDSYS.SDO_POINT and/or MDSYS.VERTEX_TYPE can also be written to GML/KML/SHP/TAB.
   Example:
   SELECT a.geom.sdo_point as point
     FROM (SELECT sdo_geometry(2002,null,sdo_point_type(1,2,null),sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)) as geom
             FROM DUAL) a;
   SELECT mdsys.vertex_type(a.x,a.y,a.z,a.w,a.v5,a.v6,a.v7,a.v8,a.v9,a.v10,a.v11,a.id) as vertex
     FROM TABLE(mdsys.sdo_util.getVertices(mdsys.sdo_geometry(2002,null,null,sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)))) a;
9. A dialog appears at the end of each export which details (eg total) what was exported when the exported recordset/table contains more
   than on shape type. For example, if you export only points eg 2001/3001 from a table that also contains multipoints eg 2005/3005 then
   the number of points exported, and multipoints skipped will be displayed.
10. SHP/TAB export is "transactional". If you set the commit interval to 100 then only 100 records are held in memory before writing.
    However, this does not currently apply to the associated DBASE records.
11. SHP/TAB export supports dBase III, dBase III + Memo, dBase IV and dBase IV + Memo.
    Note: Memo allows text columns > 255 characters to be exported. Non-Memo formats do not and any varchar2 columns will be truncated
    to 255 chars. Some GIS packages support MEMO eg Manifold GIS, some do not.
12. Note. GeoRaptor does not ensure that the SRID of SDO_GEOMETRY data exported to KML is in the correct Google Projection.
    Please read the Oracle documentation on how to project your data is this is necessary. An example is:
    SELECT OBJECTID,
           CODIGO as name,
           NOME as description,
           MI_STYLE,
           SDO_CS.TRANSFORM(shape,'USE_SPHERICAL',4055) as shape
      FROM MUB.REGIONAL;
13. NOTE: The SHP exporter uses the Java Topology Suite (JTS) to convert from SDO_GEOMETRY to the ESRI Shape format. JTS does not handle
    circular curves in SDO_GEOMETRY objects you must "stroke" them using sdo_util.arc_densify(). See the Oracle documentation on how
    to use this.
Miscellaneous.
1. Selection View - Measurement has been modified so that the final result only shows those geometry
   types that were actually measured.
2. In Layer Properties the Miscellaneous tab has been removed because the only elements in it were the
   Geometry Output options which have now been replaced by the new GML/KML/etc export capabilities.
3. Shapefile import's user entered tablename now checked for Oracle naming convention compliance.
4. Identify based on SDO_NN has been removed from GeoRaptor given the myriad problems that it seems to create across versions
   and partitioned/non-partitioned tables. Instead SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE is now used with the actual search distance (see circle
   in map display): everything within that distance is returned.
5. Displaying/Not displaying embedded sdo_point in line/polygon (Jamie Keene), is now controlled by
   a preference.
6. New View Menu options to switch all layers on/off
7. Tools/Preferences/GeoRaptor layout has been improved.
8. If Identify is called on a geometry a new right mouse click menu entry has been added called "Mark" which
   has two sub-menus called ID and ID(X,Y) that will add the labeling to the selected geometry independently of
   what the layer is set to being.
9. Two new methods for rendering an SDO_GEOMETRY object in a table or SQL recordset have been added: a) Show geometry as ICON
   and b) Show geometry as THUMBNAIL. When the latter is chosen, the actual geometry is shown in an image _inside_ the row/column cell it occupies.
   In addition, the existing textual methods for visualisation: WKT, KML, GML etc have been collected together with ICON and THUMBNAIL in a new
   right mouse click menu.
10. Tables/Views/MViews without spatial indexes can now be added to a Spatial View. To stop large tables from killing rendering, a new preference
    has been added "Table Count Limit" (default 1,000) which controls how many geometry records can be displayed. A table without a spatial
    index will have its layer name rendered in Italics and will write a warning message in red to the status bar for each redraw. Adding an index
    which the layer exists will be recognised by GeoRaptor during drawing and switch the layer across to normal rendering.
Some Bug Fixes.
* Error in manage metadata related to getting metadata across all schemas
* Bug with no display of rowid in Identify results fixed;
* Some fixes relating to where clause application in geometry validation.
* Fixes bug with scrollbars on view/layer tree not working.
* Problem with the spatial networks fixed. Actions for spatial networks can now only be done in the
schema of the current user, as it could happen that a user opens the tree for another schema that
has the same network as in the user's schema. Dropping a drops only the network of the current connected user.
* Recordset "find sdo_geometry cell" code has been modified so that it now appears only if a suitable geometry object is
in a recordset. Please note that there is a bug in SQL Developer (2.1 and 3.0) that causes SQL Developer to not
register a change in selection from a single cell to a whole row when one left clicks at the left-most "row number"
column that is not part of the SELECT statements user columns, as a short cut to selecting a whole row. It appears
that this is a SQL Developer bug so nothing can be done about it until it is fixed. To select a whole row, select all
cells in the row.
* Copy to clipboard of SDO_GEOMETRY with M and Z values forgot has extraneous "," at the end.
* Column based colouring of markers fixed
* Bunch of performance improvements.
* Plus (happily) others that I can't remember!If you find any bugs register a bug report at our website.

8. Jody Garnett (GeoTools bug issues)
Finally, when at the Washington User Conference I explained the willingness of the GeoRaptor Team to work
for some sort of integration of our "product" with the new Spatial extension that has just been released in SQL
Developer 3.0. Nothing much has come of that initial contact and I hope more will come of it.
In the end, it is you, the real users who should and will decide the way forward. If you have ideas, wishes etc,
please contact the GeoRaptor team via our SourceForge website, or start a "wishlist" thread on this forum
expressing ideas for future functionality and integration opportunities.

Thank you for this.
I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
I have stumbled to few bugs:
1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
- if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

"for XML path " Oracle equivalent of this SQL expression

SELECT TheID,
REPLACE(
RTRIM(
SELECT StudentID + ' '
FROM StudentinSchoolLocation TL
WHERE (LocationID = Results.LocationID)
FOR XML PATH ('')
) AS StudentIDs,
What is the equivalent of 'For XML path' used above
The goal is to get a concatenated list of the group by columns. Like where ever the location is same , get the studentIds and make a comma seperated list of all ids for common location
Works perfectly in SQL.
Thank you

[AskTom.oracle.com|http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:2196162600402] shows several different ways to do it.
I recommend the first one, the user-defined function STRAGG, which you can copy from that page.
On Oracle 10 (and up) you may have a similar function, WM_CONCAT (owned by WMSYS), already installed.
WM_CONCAT is not documented, so you may not want to use it in your Production applications.
STRAGG is not so convenient if the order of items in the concatenated string is important.
In that case, use XMLAGG or SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH, as shown later in the asktom page.
MODEL can also do ordered string aggregation.

Indices configuration for XML document analysis (indexing time problems)

Hi all,
I'm currently developing a tool for XML Document analysis using XQuery. We have a need to analyse the content of a large CMS dump, so I am adding all documents to a berkeley DB xml to be able to run xqueries against it.
In my last run I've been running to indexing speed problems, with single documents (typically 10-20 K in size) taking around 20 sec to be added to the database after 6000 documents (I've got around 20000 in total). The time needed for adding docs to the database drops with the number of documents.
I suspect my index configuration to be the reason for this performance drop. Indeed, I've been very generous with indexes, as we have to analyse the data and don't know the structure in advance.
Currently my index configuration includes:
- 2 default indicess: edge-element-presence-none and edge-attribute-presence-none to be able to speed up every possible xquery to analyse data patterns: ex. collection()//table//p[contains(.,'help')]
- 8 edge-attribute-substring-string indices on attributes we use often (id, value, name, ...)
- 1 edge-element-substring-string index on the root element of the xml documents to be able to speed up document searches: ex. collection()//page[contains(.,'help')]
So here my questions:
- Are there any possible performance optimisations in Database config (not index config)? I only set the following:
setTransactional(false);
envConf.setCacheSize(1024*64);
envConf.setCacheMax(1024*256);
- How can I test various index configuration on the fly? Are there any db tools that allow to set/remove indexes?
- Is my index config suspect? ;-)
Greetings,
Nils

Hi Nils,
The edge-element-substring-string index on the document element is almost certainly the cause of the slow document inserts - that's really not a good idea. Substring indexes are used to optimize "=", contains(), starts-with() and ends-with() when they are applied to the named element that has the substring index, so I don't think that index will do what you want it to.
