XML element missing

hi there
Does anyone know if Oracle has removed the Extend XML element from the Funds Capture Extract data definitions. I can see the document (oracle Payments Implementation guide) showing that the Extend element should at all levels but when I look at the iby package/views that build the extract does not have that element in the structure??
Can anyone tell me how to get custom data in the XML so I can use it in my funds capture output.
thanks.

Hi,
You could try one thing.
Instead of taking the xml from PI , just check out if the proxy works with the auto generated xml in test.
If required, could edit the values only.
If it works, then compare both the xml.
Also, try regenerating the proxy.

Manjusha

Missing XML Element when using asset from library

This is not really a scripting question but I seem to be unable to find any regular ID forum and it has something to do with a scripting workflow I established for a customer.
A script places an asset from a library onto a document and then (amongst other things) imports some XML file.
The asset in the library consists of a number of textframes and has the structure e.g.:
article
box
box
Now the customer needs new templates (that is assets in the library) and we cannot produce them anymore. It seems that as of CS 3 5.0.4 Adobe changed the behavior of the library. Dragging e.g. two box-tagged boxes with an article parent XML into the library leads to an asset without the article element. Can someone confirm this? And more important is there a reason to it? Or is there a way to configure the behavior?
I guess I could create a parent xml element by script after placing the element but then I would need to redo all existing libraries.
Thank you,
Ralf

while( testIterator.hasNext() ) {
   Element testElement = (Element)testIterator.next();
   String code = testElement.getChildTextTrim("code");
    if( null == code ) {
           continue;
   String analysis= testElement.getChildTextTrim("analysis");
   //same for description

XML Element of XML Element of XML Element (and so on...)

Here is my XML data (shorted, in a file myFile):
<LiveData>
<Voltage>
<Total>
<VoltageNow>1052</VoltageNow>
</Total>
</Voltage>
<Power>
<Total>
<PowerNow>345</PowerNow>
</Total>
</LiveData>
I would like to get the VoltageNow and PowerNow values, but the following script does not work:
tell application "System Events"
set elem1 to XML element 1 of XML file myFile /*<LiveData>
set power to XML elements of elem1 whose name is "Power"
set total to XML elements of power whose name is "Total"
set powernow to value of XML elements of total whose name is "PowerNow"
end tell
Error: System Events got an error: Can’t make {} into type string.
BTW, I don't want to use XML Element X because the order may change.
What is the correct method to traverse these elements to obtain values?

AppleScript can handle the strings, but the System Events XML Suite doesn't work with text strings - it deals with the XML objects, which have name and value properties. The handler can be modified to show the names of an element, but it is just designed to work with the XML Suite.
The contents of an XML file is just text, so you can forgo System Events and just use regular text manipulation statements, or use another tool such as the Satimage XMLLib osax, which is much more robust and does include commands to display the XML object as a string.
By the way, my original handler was designed and tested in Leopard, but I discovered a Snow Leopard bug that alters the way it returns array/list contents. The following script has changes that return the functionality, in addition to a dialog handler that will display lists:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;

SAX, incor. data for XML element, XML 1.1 doc (1.0 ok) in JRE 6 (JRE 5 ok)

Hello,
for some reason, the test case below fails when driven with Java 6. Looks like, when long string data is stored in a XML element, DocumentHandler's characters() method will be provided with incorrect data.
With XML 1.0, parsing works fine in all my tests, Apache Xerces, JRE 5, JRE 6.
With XML 1.1., parsing works fine with Apache Xerces, JRE5 but not with JRE6.
I've checked it with latest JRE 6 update 4.
Anyone else xperiencing such problems with XML1.1 parsing when using JAXP bundled with Java 6?
I've tried to file a bug at bugdatabase, but for some reason I got no response for my issue - so I'm trying the forum now ;-)
Thanx for comments

thanx, DrClap, haven't seen the "code" button for some reason, code is attached again
The output of my test is like this for JRE6 (truncated)
xml_sun 456789 This is is some text 0. 0123456789 This is some text 1.
xml_apache 0123456789 This is some text 0. 0123456789 This is some text 1.
Notice, xml_sun not only starts wrong ("0123" missing) - for some reason, the text there is not "This is some text" but "This is is some text" - very interesting in a way. I guess there's an issue with repeated text chunks ...
So, the data in my XML element is kind of changed, the length of the string is okay but the characters are "misplaced" or so :-) I thought about a problem with StringBuffer first, but the StringBuffer works fine for Apache ... so I really think there's an issue with JRE 6's parser for XML 1.1

Invalid XML Response - missing xmlns=''

I have a simple BPEL WebService using a xsd elementFormDefault="unqualified".

I invoke this WebService with the Web Service Test Page of OC4J
and get an invalid xml-response (missing xmlns="").
If i look inside the bpel-console in the instance-flow at the reply activity the
xml-response looks good.
GOOD Reponse (at bpel-console):

Invalid Response (at every WS Client):
+<InvalidXMLResponseProcessResponse xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/InvalidXMLResponse">+
+<result>test</result>+
+</InvalidXMLResponseProcessResponse>+
It seams that the xml serializer of the oc4j container does create a valid xml-response.

I just retested the testcase with an other test environment (10.1.3.4 MLR#3) and everything worked fine.
{color:#0000ff}+<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">+

So there should be an availagle bugfix for this issue.
I need this bugfix for 10.1.3.3.1 because this is our production environment.

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing
Green4ever

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Pages can´t open a file due to index.xml is missing

After writing 138 pages of my PhD-Thesis and I have only 7 days left I got the error message can´t open file - index.xml is missing - shocking! So I called the support because I thought it can´t be lost due to the fully active preview - only pages did not want to open the file.
But I found a solution by surfing in different forum discussions and I want here to summarize, what to do.
1. A pages document is an archive - unfortunately in the latest version (iwork09) it is not signed as such anymore, what made older forum discussions quite irritating - but the tric is to rename the file to.zip and unpack the zip file.
2. Then it is possible to see if the index.xml is there (in my case) or if it is renamed to index-new.xml
in my case it was just possible to open this index file in textedit and save it again - if it has been renamed to index-new - simply save it after opening as index.xml.
the rename the whole folder back to a pages document with the ending .pages and open it in pages like usual by double click.
just as small aid for all other users with important document
please post herer if there were more problem or other solutions with this index.xml file
Regards!

I changed the file to .pages.zip and it still will not open up or unzip .. what do i do ?

How can we get the reference of XML element on frame as soon as frame is created in Document?

Hi,
When ever we copy any text/table cells from any frame, and paste it directly on page, A new Frame is created and the pasted text is placed inside that frame.
Now to capture this frame creation, We have two possible solutions:
1) Attach Observer on Document 'kDocBoss' on IID_IHIERARCHY_DOCUMENT and it will notify on frame creation in update function.
2) Notification event on new story creation.
Now, I need to perform some changes in the newly created table, for example:
a) Need to delete XML tags from newly created frame
b) Need to perform action on table cells if any in the created frame.
But the problem is, when the event comes, I can access basic properties of frame like it's name, type etc, but it does not give me the
XML element on frame or tables in frame until the event is com pleat.
I know it's quite a specif requirement, but I guess many of you might have faced these kind of challenges, while processing the event.
Does any one has any idea how I can get the reference of XML element on frame as soon as it is created?

Hi Kapoor,
please give also others a chance, and excuse that I get up late on vacation ;-)
Anyway, I'd keep the story creation responder to recognize the copy, then combine it with an observer on the backing xml story to catch the associated XML element which is created there. Something like below:
UIDRef xmlStoryRef = Utils<IXMLUtils>()->GetBackingStore(doc);
InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject ( xmlStoryRef,IID_ISUBJECT );
subject->AttachObserver(observer,IID_IIDXMLELEMENT,observer->GetAttachIID());

Hiding XML elements in the structure view – scripting influence to the structure view?

Hi
Is there a way to hide specific XML elements (really the elements and not the attributes) in the structure view?
I am asking this question to know if it is possible to influence the structure view by scripting.
Many elements are indeed used as a kind of help for constructions which have nothing to do with the actual contents especially in the case of tables.
You inflate the the structure view unnecessarily and the author will lose track of the real contents. It would be nice if there was a possibility to hide those help construction elements.
Thank you for any hints.
Regards
Apollo102

Hello Apollo,
There is a way to hide elements from the Structure View (one such method is offered by the free AXCM plug-in). What happens when you use AXCM (or other methods to hide elements) is that the elements get wrapped into hidden content. This might make the structure view less complex for your authors, but has a number of disadvantages and dangers.
1. The structure is normally invalidated, as the helper elements are usually required.
2. Accidentally deleting hidden content may make the invalidation permanent and render your documents useless.
It is NOT good practice to hide elements from authors in the structure view. Instead, you should either teach authors about the structure, or let them work in the Author View while adding sufficiently clear formatting to show them the underlying structure. In some cases, it might be better to create an authoring structure which is automatically transformed into the required full structure using an XSLT or other processing step. I have created a couple of such environments and they work fine. It just depends on the difference between the structure required for further processing and the structure that would be optimal for your authors (which in turn depends on the level at which your authors are experienced in working with structured content).
I hope this helps you solve your problem without having to tweak the structure view.
Kind regards
Jang

How to find out the page number of an xml element

Hi everybody, sorry for my very bad english (french guy! logical). I hope you see what I'm looking for.
I'm scripting (javascript) an exporting script of every articles from a multi-pages indesign script.
In fact I could have one or more article in one file, every one of them is on an separate xml element. for each I have to export an xml file named with, first, the page number where appears the xml element, second, the number of exported article.
I'm success the second purpose, but not the first.
Someone have an idea ?

Try this,
var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
var root = myDoc.xmlElements[0];
var docTag = root.evaluateXPathExpression('//doc');
for(i=0; i<docTag.length; i++)
    var docPos = docTag[i].insertionPoints.lastItem();
    var docFrame = docPos.parentTextFrames[0];
    var docPage;
    try
         docPage = docFrame.parentPage;
catch(e)
        docPage = docFrame.parent.name;
    alert(docPage.name);

[CS3] [JS] add XML Element to Insertion Points

hi list,
i'll do some text parsing in indesign cs3 intended to add some xml elements to my document.
i just wonder why i can't markup an insertion point. is the following approach correct? The code works fine, only the return value (stored in the _xml variable) is not the new element but the parent element. The same code works without using the insertion point (marking up the text object [xmlElements.add(_dokument.xmlTags.item("index") , erg[0]))] ).
Any ideas or thoughts?
var _dokument = app.activeDocument;
main ();
// ** main ()
function main() {
//Set the find options.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences= NothingEnum.nothing;
//find any string encloased by @
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "@.*?@";
erg = _dokument.findGrep();
while (erg.length > 0) {
_xml = _dokument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.item("text").xmlElements.add(_dokument.xmlTags.item( "index") , erg[0].insertionPoints[0]);
erg[0].contents = "";
erg = _dokument.findGrep();

hi dave,
gui testing is always a good idea :-) but in this case the behaviour is different:
your observation is correct (anyway at least a strange behaviour compared to any xml editing tool i know == how adobe intended to insert an empty element?), tagging in the gui a tagged insertion point tags the whole story.
in the script a new element is added but the return value is the parent element (the xmlElement of the whole story).
this causes a problem when i add an attribute (the intention of the above script is to add references) which is added to the parent element.

Remove xml element using JS[CS3]

Hi, I have an xml structure where i want to remove some paritcular element named "extlink".
I do have one script with me but it doesn't wipe out all specific xml element from structure.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var foundtext = 0
Query_Remove (myDoc);
alert ("You have removed " + foundtext + " " +" Link !!")
exit (0);
function Query_Remove(elm)
try
for(var i=elm.xmlElements.length-1; i>=0; i--)
     if((elm.xmlElements[i].markupTag.name == "extlink") && (elm.xmlElements[i].xmlElements[0].markupTag.name == "http"))
    var Store_CitAttri = elm.xmlElements[i].xmlElements[0].xmlAttributes.item("c_style").value;
     if(Store_CitAttri == "URL")
      elm.xmlElements[i].remove();
     foundtext = foundtext + 1;
   Query_Remove(elm.xmlElements[i]);
catch (e){
Some time it skip the element from all figure captions and some time from body text and some time it works perfectly
Could any one figure it out why this script behaviour is not consistent as i am new to scripting and not getting any idea about this.
Thanks
Mac

Okay, after peering over your code and trying a few things out I see one immediate problem and one possible improvement.
The problem lies in this:
1. if condition is true, remove item
2. check recursively
The problem is .. if an item is removed, the following recursive check will always fail. However, the entire loop is wrapped into a try..catch, so InDesign will not alert you that it failed. Instead, it will continue with what's after the loop, exactly because the try..catch is around the entire loop!
Change the loop code to this
if((elm.xmlElements[i].markupTag.name == "http") && (elm.xmlElements[i].parent.markupTag.name == "extlink"))
    var Store_CitAttri = elm.xmlElements[i].xmlAttributes.item("c_style").value;
    if(Store_CitAttri == "URL")
      elm.xmlElements[i].remove();
       foundtext = foundtext + 1;
       continue;
Query_Remove(elm.xmlElements[i]);
so the recursive checking is skipped. You can also remove the entire try..catch block, as this may hide additional errors ...
The improvement is: as I started reading this thread from the top again, shouldn't you be removing the "extlink" items, rather than just the "http" ones inside?
If so, remove the parent of the found item (which is always the "extlink"):
      elm.xmlElements[i].parent.remove();
-- and, as this will break the loop (because you just removed the set of elements it was working in!), replace 'continue' with 'return'.
Hope this helps
