Tables not expanding across a sidehead+column

DITA 1.2 XML
FrameMaker 10.0.2.419
I have some tables that I want to go across my column and sidehead for my printed manuals. I have been able to change my EDD/template to place the table anchor in the sidehead and that is working just fine. That's not the problem. The problem is that the tables do not proportionally (or even absolutely) expand to the width of the column+sidehead. The table remains the width of the column, but is in the sidehead leaving a gap in the column. In my ditabase.template.fm file when I insert a table, it spans the sidehead+column. When I save a map as a composite FrameMaker file, the tables are just the width of the column, albeit starting in the sidehead.
At first I thought the issue might be related to colspec or colwidth as in http://forums.adobe.com/message/3906515, but that's not the case.
I am not using DITA-FMx (not yet, Scott), but in my searching I found a mention of a potential FrameMaker bug and I am wondering if I am running into it. It was mentioned here http://docs.leximation.com/dita-fmx/1.1/ditafmx_tables.html. But I believe the issue is specifically an issue about column widths and not column+sidehead widths. Editing out the writer use proportional widths; had no effect on my composite file.
I have pgwide = 1 for my tables. The tables I am looking at are of the type 'table,' not 'choicetable' or 'simpletable,' but those may also be affected. I don't know.
So, other than going through a book/composite FrameMaker file right before I print and manually resizing table widths, what I can I do?

Thanks Paul
Did as you said and for each subform binding tab made sure I have "Repeat subform for each data item" checkbox and still no change when I add the data.
I even tried to combine the xml data and that file just has the main page and not the data pages. just another problem that is happening.
Any other suggestions on this expanding tables and receive single forms one at a time.

Formatting Critical Tasks (Text in Table) not applying across all columns

All,
I am working on creating a schedule from multiple smaller schedules. A few of these schedules had manual text formatting which I overwrote manually (selecting cells and changing text color). Now when attempting to apply text styles to the critical
path the text styles will not apply to all Critical tasks or all columns visible. I'm guessing I caused problems by manually changing the text color but I don't know how to fix it. Please help!

All of the manual text formatting and re-formatting in cells has changed the default formatting in the Gantt Chart View.
Rather than fiddling with it, the best way is to recover the original formatting of the Gantt Chart View, and then if you want to modify it make a copy of that view, name the copy something like "AA Gantt Chart 01", and then format the text and bar
styles (not individual bits and pieces of cells and bars) of your new view. Include the "AA" or an underscore or something similar as part of the name so that your new views always go to the top of the list and you can always distinguish them
from the original ones that came out of the box.
Use the organiser to recover the original Gantt Chart View by pulling the Gantt Chart View from the global template. Now, MSP will not allow you to over-write the Gantt Chart View in your file while that view is the active view, so you will have to switch
to another view while you do it. Switch to the Tracking Gantt View, then File, Organiser. You see all of the clean stuff on the left hand side and all of the stuff in your file on the right.
In the future, leave the original views as they are. Also, leave the original tables, filters, groups, reports etc alone and if you need modified/customised versions of them make copies and change the copies. This is just good housekeeping. Also, do not
copy modified/customised views from your file into the global template ((or you will poison the well).
Hope this helps. Please mark as answer.

Pdf form for data from another form with data, xml or pdf, tables not expanding

Sir,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and LifeCylce to do these forms. I have made several subforms for a Risk Assessment for the mission they fly. I have also made up another form with tables that would connect with each subform data. This form also will give me and others a % of the values received from the data to help us with seeing problem area towards Safety.
I am able to connect the data to the form from the Risk Forms but when I go and add another group of data it over writes the data that was already in the data collection form. The tables are dynamic and able to expand with the generated data but when I compile several Risk Forms, xml. data into one single data group, the receiving tables will not except this data. To compile the data I am in Acrobat and using the form-manage form data-merge data to spreadsheet than enter as a report that is xml. Still not working. I also tried to save the form, with data already in the tables, and then opened it again and add data to it, it will over write the existing data in the form. This form does work great with the generated data in LiveCycle.
Any suggestions???

Table not going across multiple pages

I have two simple side-by-side tables that I want to stretch across multiple pages when necessary by clicking the Add Another button object.
I think I've done everything necessary to have the table repeat on multiple pages:
1. My table is in a subform.
2. The subform is set to Flowed.
3. The table has Allow Page Breaks with Content
4. The table is not a group table
5. I have the Rows in Binding to Repeat Row for Each Data Item
What I do notice is that when I click on either Table and then click the Pagination tab in Object--- Pagination is greyed out
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thank you.

Example of building dynamic tables here: http://assure.ly/gk8Q7a.
I have created a header on my master-page (just a Logo-picture). When my dynamic table reaches the end of the page, it creates a new page - any problem yet.
But on the new page, the table just starts directly on the top (y = 0). In this way the table is placed above my logo.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Anything like "check if there is a header on master page and set new rows on next table under the header"?

How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).

How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).
What happens when i load the applet the table is blank and displays the background color is gray which we want to be white.
We tried using the setBackGround but it is not working maybe we are not using it properly. Any help would be gr8.
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand very well, but i guess that the background is gray when the table content's empty, isn't it?
When the table model is empty, the JTable doesn't paint, so its container displays its background (often gray).
In this case, what you must do is force the table to paint, even if the model is empty. So, you have to create your own table and override three methods :
public class MyTable extends JTable
//specify the preferred and minum size when empty
myPreferredWidth = 200;
myPreferredHeigth =200;
myMinimunWidth = ...;
myMinimunHeigth = ...;
public Dimension getPreferredSize()
if(getModel().getRowCount() < 1)
return new Dimension(myPreferredWidth, myPreferredHeigth);
else
return super.getPreferredSize();
public Dimension getMinimumSize()
if( getModel().getRowCount() > 0)
return new Dimension(myMinimunWidth, myMinimunHeigth);
else
return super.getMinimumSize();
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
if (getModel().getRowCount<1 && isOpaque()) { //paint background
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
else super.paintComponent(g);
}

Do Not Expand on Drill Across/Down

Hi All,
I am having Two Restricted KeyFigures Called Short Term and Long Term. The Short term is restricted with Fiscal Month(Say X) for a range of one year and the Long term is restricted with the same variable but Greater than Or Equal X. So the Long term contains lots of Data as the infocube has the future data also.
Now the problem is when I do a Drill Across/Down on Fiscal Month the result exceeds the Microsoft Excel Limitations(Colunms 255).
Is there any way that Restricted KeyFigure ' Long term' should not expand when i do a drill across/down.that is how can i disable the drill across function on the Long Term Restricted key figure.
Your ideas will be appriciated with points.
Thanks

Hi,
Try this:
Take a Virtual hierarchy on Fiscal year/period characterstic (which you have taken in the free characterstic area). So it will avoid display of all Individual values at a time. User can drill down on the hierarchy , if he want to do it. That also, will alow to drill down for a specific year and not at a time all.

Multiple heading rows in a table template does not come across

Hello,
   I've created a table with two heading rows with different content (please see attached file).
   When I import this table format into a new Frame doc, the first heading row gets repeated twice.
   Any ideas about how to fix this?
   I have even tried to make one heading and the other a footer row (at the bottom) but even that formating does not come across in the template.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anupam.
Using : Framemaker 9 on Windows XP

Anupam,
The import into a new document has nothing to do with what you are seeing. If you look in the table designer, you will see that there is nothing there that specifies that the table must have two heading rows. When you insert a table and select the ids_register table format, the dialog box lets you specify the number of heading rows; it can even be one.
Note that if you insert a second table in your original document and specify you want two heading rows, you get the same result: two heading rows that are both like the first one.
Without know the real details, I am guessing that the table format is capable of remembering only one heading row format.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but maybe someone else has a workaround to this.
Good luck,
Van

Synchronize Table of Contents Automatically not expanding TOC tree

Users tell me that some years ago context-sensitive help would expand the TOC tree and select the target topic. Current behavior (RH9) is the "book" is selected but not expanded.
Is there some way to get the old behavior back?

Does it mysteriously begin working after you have had it open for a while?
I ask, because the default setting for WebHelp is that the navigational elements are broken into smaller chunks during the generation process. And it's not uncommon for the TOC to fail synchronization early when opening the help but begin working later.
To change that behavior, one needs to enable the speed setting of "Local PC or Intranet" as shown below.
*NOTE: Click the image below for larger and clearer view.
This causes the TOC, Index, Glossary and Search to be contained in larger single files. The trade-off is that it takes longer for the TOC, Index, Glossary and Search to appear, but the TOC synchronization typically then works.
Hope this helps... Rick

How to handle a repeating table in FrameMaker 8 with varying columns

Hello,
I have a unstructred FrameMaker 8 table question that I hope someone can answer for me.
I have a RTF document that I have brought into FrameMaker 8.
The table came into FrameMaker without any major problems.
From FrameMaker 8, I now have to apply a special template to generate the special "Table Title" field, that allows the table to break across several pages; using the "Table Continuation Variable".
Also, I must use select the "Add Rows or Columns" option and choose "Add 1 Row to Heading", so that my "Table/Column/Head" row repeats on every table page.
With that said, here is where it gets interesting!
ISSUE #1
Usually, my next step is to add 20-30 rows to the last row on the first table page and then paste in the table data from the second (original) table into these new table cells. The end result is that the table will bump from page 1 to page 2 and "Table Title (Continued)" will automatically appear on the second table page - and so forth...
It is not the fastest way to handle RTF tables, but this is the only approach I know off-hand.
Does anyone know if there is a way to simply merge the legacy breaking tables together and then apply the "Table Continuation" variable and repeating Table Column Header row?
ISSUE #2
As mentioned above in Issue #1, I must manually add extra rows to the bottom of the first table page and then paste in the table data that flows over the next few pages.
But, my multi-page table is based on procedural steps and therefore some table pages have 4 columns, while others have 5 columns.
So, using the process stated above, I simply can't copy and paste.
I must now manually add another column to the affected table page. But when I do this, FrameMaker 8 naturally adds an additional column to the first table page. When that happens, I must then go back to the first table page and straddle the new column into the original column.
Does anyone know if there is a better way to handle these legacy (RTF) tables?
Overall, I am hoping that there is an easier way of handling a legacy (RTF) table that breaks over several pages and has different columns, based on the section in the table.
Thanks in advance for any solutions offered.
Regards,
Jim

How to keep together Title + table's line across pages

Hi all, I have a question.
I'm trying to create a .rtf template where I have a table with 4 lines and a title <PROJ_NAME>
I need to repeat this table (with all the necessary information - 4 lines) as many times as the projects' names are stored on the DB.
For example: if the employee has 4 projects, on the report I will see 4 times these table and the relative project name as title.
So, the repeating group mechanism works perfectly, but I am not able to control how the table's lines are splitted across pages....
In other words if I have two pages in my .rtf template and I am at the end of the first page:
1) I don't want to see the title on the bottom of the first page and the relative table above on the second page (title and table splitted on two differents pages)
2) I don't want to see the title and a portion of the table on the bottom of the first page and the rest of the table (1,2 or 3 lines) above on the second page (table splitted on two differents pages)
At the end I'd like to see always title and table together even if the page finishes. If the title + table exced the table's vertical border, it has not be splitted, but rewrite entirely (title + table) on the next page.
The syntax is this:
<?for-each-group:G_PROJ;./PROJ_NAME?><?PROJ_NAME?>
TABLE WITH 4 LINES
<?end for-each-group?>Page break
I tried also, reading the forum, to use the paragraph properties (Keep lines together), but nothing.....
Anyone can suggest me something ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

After the for loop,
take a table (suppose A) with one row and one column. In that table insert the Project name tag. Below that tag, insert an inner table(suppose B) in table A with 4 rows and columns you wish. Now select the outer table A(select the whole table), and in the table properties/Row , in the options , uncheck the 'Allow row to break across pages' property.
end the for loop.

While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

Hi folks
I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
1. What is the purpose of column store type.
While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show. Is this mandatory or optional ?
2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
Poonam

Hi Poonam
the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
insert into charcompr (
    select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
-- same data into both columns
update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
-- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
merge delta of charcompr;
update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
-- check the memory requirements
select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT COMPRESSION_TYPE
FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

Find duplicate values in a table based on combination of two columns.

In table which have millions of records -
I have a Table B under Schema A and i have to find the duplicate records in a table. My Table B uses the combination of columns to identify the unique values.
Scenario is something like this-
One SV_Id can have multiple SV_Details_Id and i have to find out if there is any duplicate in the table. (I have to use combination of columns to identify the unique values and there is no Primary Key, Foreign Key or Unique Key on the table)
then wrote the following query -
select SV_Id,SV_Details_Id count (*) from SchemaA.TableB group by SV_Id,SV_Details_Id having Count (*) > 1 ;
Is it correct as after firing the above query it is returning the rows which is not matching to the duplicate.
kindly help me.
Looking forward for some guidance -
Thanks in advance.

What is the desired output??
Do you want to see only unique records??
Or you want to see the duplicate records.
Giving an example will make it easier to provide the required querty.
BTW here is an simple query which is used to delete the duplicate records and keep the unique records in table.
DELETE
FROM table_name     a
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
                 FROM table_name      b
                WHERE a.sv_id         = b.sv_id
                  AND a.sv_detail_id = b.sv_detail_id
                  AND a.ROWID         > b.ROWID

This works perfectly
but if I change it to get the same statement in a db table
declare

I get ora-00900 invalid sql statement
can somebody explain why this happens
Thanks

I agree with jan and anthony. Your post is too long and ill-formatted. However here's my understanding of your problem (with examples though slightly different ones).
1- I have a function that returns number of records in a any given table.
1 CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_count(p_table varchar2)
2     RETURN NUMBER IS
3     v_cnt number;
4 BEGIN
5    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE('SELECT count(*) FROM '||p_table) INTO v_cnt;
6    RETURN v_cnt;
7* END;
SQL> /
Function created.
SQL> SELECT get_count('emp')
2 FROM dual
3 /
GET_COUNT('EMP')
              14
2- I decide to move the statement to a database table and recreate my function.
SQL> CREATE TABLE test
2 (stmt varchar2(2000))
3 /
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO test
2 VALUES('SELECT count(*) FROM p_table');
1 row created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_count(p_table varchar2)
2     RETURN NUMBER IS
3     v_cnt number;
4     v_stmt varchar2(4000);
5 BEGIN
6     SELECT stmt INTO v_stmt
7     FROM test;
8     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE(v_stmt) INTO v_cnt;
9     RETURN v_cnt;
10 END;
11 /
Function created.
SQL> SELECT get_count('emp')
2 FROM dual
3 /
SELECT get_count('emp')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.GET_COUNT", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 1
--p_table in the column is a string and has nothing to do with p_table parameter in the function. And since there's no p_table table in my schema function returns error on execution. I suppose this is what you mean by "sql statement in a table not accepting variable"
3- I rectify the problem by recreating the function.
1 CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_count(p_table varchar2)
2     RETURN NUMBER IS
3     v_cnt number;
4     v_stmt varchar2(4000);
5 BEGIN
6     SELECT replace(stmt,'p_table',p_table) INTO v_stmt
7     FROM test;
8     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE(v_stmt) INTO v_cnt;
9     RETURN v_cnt;
10* END;
SQL> /
Function created.
SQL> SELECT get_count('emp')
2 FROM dual
3 /
GET_COUNT('EMP')
              14
Hope this gives you some idea.-----------------------

Spatial index creation for table with more than one geometry columns?

I have table with more than one geometry columns.
I'v added in user_sdo_geom_metadata table record for every column in the table.
When I try to create spatial indexes over geometry columns in the table - i get error message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-13203: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table
ORA-13203: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 1
What is the the solution?

I'v got errors in my user_sdo_geom_metadata.
The problem does not exists!
