Unable to define the XML tags with colon in XPath using gluecode

Hi Everyone,
I am working on XML with InDesign CS4. I need to do some automation stuffs for those. In my InDesign document, the XML tags (Eg. <ab:para>, <ab:figure> & etc…) name contains colon characters. If i try to loop these tags through gluecode using XPath expression, the script throws me a error like 'Adobe InDesign cannot processXPath expression'.
Can anyone look into this and suggest me a right solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi thiyagu,
this.xpath = "//para";
this.xpath = "//figure";
Try this without the XML namespace in XPath Expression. it's not tested code, but it may works.

Remove XML Tags with White space.

Hi All, I have a scenario like the below code where I have empty spaces in few columns of my tables. I create XML of the data and send it. There is a lot of code such and I can't add ISNULL() on each and every column. Is there any simple one line code working
with the XML so that I can remove the tags with only empty spaces. TIA.
DECLARE @xml1 VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @xml2 VARCHAR(max)
set @xml1 = (SELECT 1 AS Col11, ' ' AS Col21, 'ABC' AS Col31 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
set @xml2 = (SELECT 2 AS Col12, ' ' AS Col22, 'ABC' AS Col32 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
DECLARE @xml xml;
SET @xml = Cast('<ROOT>' + ISNULL(@xml1, '') + ISNULL(@xml2, '') + '</ROOT>' as xml)
SET @xml.modify('delete //*[not(node())]');
-- Some Way to Remove the XML Tags with Empty space here.
select @xml as XMLString
/* Output of the Above script.
<ROOT>
<row>
<Col11>1</Col11>
<Col21> </Col21> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col31>ABC</Col31>
</row>
<row>
<Col12>2</Col12>
<Col22> </Col22> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col32>ABC</Col32>

It would have helped if there had been a trim() function in XQuery.
With some trial and error and inventive thinking I came up with this:
<span style="color:Blue">SET</span> @xml.modify(<span style="color:#A31515">'delete //*[. <= " "]'</span>);
As they say: it seems to work. But I leave no warranties.

Wow Erland this
seems to work, I need to test it against my data and update on this. Thanks again.

Please help me with the XML tag reading.

I have an content.xml with thouthand <table:table-row /> tags.
How can I read the attributes and values of the tag 150 for example?
Should I read one tag after the other before I reach 150, or there is a shorter way?
XML Structure of content.xml as example below.
In this sample I want to get the row4 and its value D4. Of course I don't know what value have the fourth tag and can't search tag with a value D4. I just know that the Row4 contains the value I need.
Is there any possibility to read the fourth tag, or I should read from the beginning and increase the counter. If the counter is 4, I should read the value. It seems to me not a good approach, because the files can contain thousands of tags and for each value to go throught the whole xml is resource-intensive.

Thanks for the answer.
And is there any possibility to get the tag with the value 5. I know that the fifth tag should contain the value I want, in this case 5. But there is an attribute, and if this attribute is not null, then some tags1 can be shifted so that the third tag1 have an attribute tags=2, so I know that there is no the fourth tag and I read the next tag as fifth (with XPath doc/tag[4]).
Should I read all tags, or there is some other way with the XPath. To search for the first tag with attributes and if its position before the fifth tag, than to decrease the tag-position counter and so on.
<doc>
<tag1>1</tag1>
<tag1>2</tag1>
<tag1 tags=2>3</tag1>
<tag1>5</tag1>
<tag1>6</tag1>
</doc>Thanks in advance.

Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName with FieldId

On a site collection of SP2013 on-premise farm, I found there are many similar log occur every minute. The logs are like:
Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName with FieldId '56747800-d36e-4625-abe3-b1bc74a7d5f8', exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)) ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException:
Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.GetGlobalContentTypeXml(String bstrUrl, Int32 type, UInt32 lcid, Object varIdBytes)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.GetGlobalContentTypeXml(String bstrUrl, Int32 type, UInt32 lcid, Object varIdBytes)
The log level is medium. The same set of log occur every minute with same set of 60 different GUIDs. All related function on the site is working as expected. By using PowerShell to loop thru the site collections I confirmed there is no field using these
GUID. Also I have checked the content database and configuration database, also no luck to finding these GUIDs.
These logs should be related with the search service since the Authentication Authorization log mentioned it is the "Crawler" account in action. However I have no idea why the crawler keep looking for these GUID. I have reset the farm service multiple
times already.
The farm was upgraded from SP2010 and it seems no such logs before upgrade.
Any advice? Thank you.

Hi Mark,
From your description, this issue ocurred after you upgraded SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. Is it right?
Whether you have some solutions in SharePoint 2010.
If yes, please make sure you deploy the solution in SharePoint 2013 well after you upgraded to SharePoint 2013.

Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName with FieldId '1f8a351c-965d-4927-9c22-8772b7089f55' when trying to activate feature with references a custom field type

I´ve a solution which contains a custom field type (found somewhere on the net, the custom field type maps a choice field to managed metadata). There is a second solution which contains site column and site content type definitions using the custom field
type definition from field type solution.
On my developement environment, there is no problem with this two solutions. When field type solution is deployed, i can deploy the content type solution and activate the feature and everything is fine.
However if i give the two solutions to our adminstrator to deploy them into our staging environment, content type feature activation fails. Deploying the field type solution makes no problems. The field type is then available and i can manually creates
columns with this new field type. However activating the content type solution fails with the error shown in the title of this message. The FieldID from the message is not part of my content type project. Searching the net doens´t show any results for that
id. So i think it´s not some of the standard field id´s from sharepoint.
Can anyone help?

Output to the printer printing xml tags with actual output

Hi,
we are calling fnd_request.submit_request with 'XDOREPPB' and assigning a printer to it.
the output that is getting printed has both the xml tags and the actual output.
anyone has any idea what might be the reason.
Regards,

Got the solution. These tags are getting generated from standard report and we can use <columnname>[1], <columnname>[2]... etc if there are multiple tags with same tag names.

Generating xml tags with stored procedure

Hi Friends,
I have to create a xml report using procedure .the code is given here to generate xml tags.
create or replace procedure sri_xml (errbuff out varchar2,
retcode out number) as
/* create cursor to fetch the records*/
cursor c_emp is select empno,
ename,
deptno,
sal,
job
from emp;
begin
/* first line of xml data should be "<? xml version = "0.1"?>" */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<?xml version = "1.0" ?>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<per_emp1>');
for c in c_emp loop
/* for each record create a group tag <gemp_name> at start */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<G_EMP_NAME>');
/*EMBEDD DATA BETWEEN XML TAGS */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<empno>' || c.empno || '</empno>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<ename>' || c.ename || '</ename>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<sal>' || c.sal || '</sal>');

end;
i run the procedure in the concurrent program with output mode as text and i got the xml tags as the out put. i have created the template using the data definition and registered them in the xml publisher administer but i am unable to get the out put when i run the concurrent request it is giving the message "AUTHENTICATION FAILED".
please help me to solve the problem and to get the desired output with desired template.
thanks in advance,

Hi Siddam,
Please post your query on BI Publisher forum.
There are number of folks who can resolve the issue u faced.
Please go through the bi publisher developers guide and then design the report.
I am not sure about the process ur following for report development...i think you have to create data defination and rtf layout and then attach it to oracle xml administrator responsibility.

Unable to load the XML Report

Hi,
I am using TestStand 3.1. Someone before me has developped a lot of things in our application : specific steps, specific process model, ... . Now this person is not here anymore and I have a test report display problem.
After an execution, the execution window cannot display the test report and displays the following message :
"Unable to load the XML Report.
At line 285 End tag 'NOBR' does not match the start tag 'BR'."
Also with Internet Explorer, the test report cannot be displayed (and he locates the error at lign 287) .
Needless to say that I am a poor guy in XML code that's why I am asking you some help.
But, I opened the .xml with a text editor and that is the part of the code which causes the problem :
284 </Prop>
285 <BLOCKQUOTE>
286 <H5><NOBR>Begin Sequence: MainSequence
287 <BR>(X:\DATA_Utilisateur\Florian DENEVE\04_GENERIC\GenericTestMainSeq\GenericTestMainSeq.seq)<BR></BR></H5>
288 <table BORDERCOLOR=#000000 FRAME=BOX RULES=ALL WIDTH=70%><TBODY>
(please, be careful with the lines numbers, because i don't think that IE and TestStand have the same numbering)
I don't know if it's a problem of basic TestStand or if it's due to the new process model and modifications realized by my previous colleague.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi All,
I have a question here
I want to retrieve the XML tag from a XML file instead of its value.
Example:
<item>Colgate</item>
Now I want to retrieve "item" as output from XPath expression, I dont want its value as "colgate"
How to do that...?

You can do this with an axes XPatch expression:
child::node()/name()

OPatch was able to restore your system. Look at log file and timestamp of each f

your actions.xml must not be able to be read.
open it in notepad yourself to see does it open, if so its not corrupt, if doesnt open download patch again.
More then likely will be fine so try locate the patch in a shorter home path, like c:\patches\12375678 and see does it install from there.
Only other thing I can think of is the main inventory.xml, usually c:\program files\oracle\inventory\inventory.xml
try notepad with that too.
