XSD design lacking features

I find it useful to not have to open 10 different tools to do one project. So when I see tools integrated into my favorite IDE JDeveloper, I always give it a try hoping there may now be an opening to move yet another task under the same project management.
XSD - XML Schema - is one of those. Since the 9. versions I've seen a steady move forward but it's always been a very rough and to me, pretty useless approach. While I could browse the document, it was hard to see all the attributes easily and it was even harder to CREATE schemas from scratch. At the most, I found I could do minor adjustments from JDeveloper.
I looked at the 11.1.1 preview version. I'm very disappointed!
* No way to see if the schema file is valid? (ie. references to missing elements, bad complex type names etc)
* No type list. I can't select from the W3C list of fixed data types?
* no way to see a single node's full set of attributes in one screen? I have to click on all the child nodes to get partial pictures
* expression validation?? For instance regular expressions?
* Promoting elements to complex types?
* Promoting elements to a source for reference?
* Copy between windows using "drag and drop" isn't supported. This is a GUI right?
These features have always been missing. But without them, there's really no help and in particular the missing validation of the schema file makes it rather troublesome to even try to use JDeveloper as a source to maintain XML Schema files.
On the positive side, I now see it's easy to tie in an existing schema file when creating XML datafiles manually. That's a nice feature.

Hierarchical Data Loading: XSD design for Native data

We are working on native data received in the form of flat file (attaching a few lines below)

This data is hierarchical.
-FWDREF
--SECTID
---ILLREF
The challenge is that the number of occurrences of parent and child are not fixed and they might not occur at all
for eg there might be a set of rows like this (in the example below, there is no SECTID)
FWDREF VXB04_X150_GC
ILLREFBA1 B05_A1_B
How can the schema be designed in this case?
Thanks in advance

@rp0428
Thanks for taking out the time to reply to this. If we talk in terms of a tree structure, in the normal scenario we would the hierarchy as described before.
-FWDREF
--SECTID
---ILLREF
If we don't talk in terms of xml and xsd and just talk in terms of database and keys, FWDREF would be parent, SECTID would be child and ILLREF would be grandchild. Now, in case, SECTID does not appear, we would still want a key to be generated but have a default value corresponding to it so that the parent, child and grandchild relationship is mentioned.
The whole purpose of this XSD design is to use it in ODI where this feed file will be automatically loaded into tables from the XML generated with the parent, child and grandchild relationship maintained.
Also, I have taken a sample data set. In the actual case, the hierarchy goes upto a maximum of 20 levels.
Thanks to everyone and anyone who takes out time for this!

Help required with Hierarchical XSD design

Can someone tell me whats wrong with this XSD? As you can see there are 26 levels of parent, child, grandchild........... The idea is that even if a child is missing, the relationship is not broken and an XML tag is still generated. This design is not working however

I would suggest you should start with much smaller schema or to test step-by-step on the way of expanding the schema : not only to make sure it validates what is intended for but to make sure the schema itself being correct.
I have only read through the first tens of lines and there are already "many" fundamental errors in schema construction.
Take this starting fragment.

[1] What is the attribute startsWith which should be defined in the schema namespace (http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema). Where do you get the idea it means something in the "element" element? What does it mean? I ask because I think it is wrong.
[2] And then type="tns:FILETL" attribute in the element. I think I get the idea that you want to refer to the following complexType named="FILETL". But this is wrong construction. It won't never work for multiple reason.
[2.1] Either you close the element right away and take out what follows and make the latter as a top-level complexType element named "FILETL", or
[2.2] Or you take out the name attribute in the following line of complexType. As such, it is a local type (or an anonymous type) which is forbidden to have a name attribute. That's strict and forbidden.
[3] And then after element named CreationDate which has a well-defined type string and is closed. But immediately after, you have complexType... This is not an acceptable construction. You cannot have complexType (or simpleType for that matter) as immediate child of sequence (or any other component like choice or all etc.) That is fatal error. The schema processing engine cannot go any further.
After the quoted fragment, you probably have a lot of similar constructions that you've to correct them all to begin with. There is a very slim chance to furnish you further help if those kinds of errors appear all over the places.

Design for "featured providers"

I don't know what the feature is called but when you click in the itunes store on podcast and then on "featured providers" then you can see that big podcast providers with more than one podcast seem to have their own "chapter" "section" or whatever it is called. (so what is it called?). Just take a look at BBC for example. It is defined by a distinct design with a huge space on top with their logo and image material and a text block. Further down you have a box with all their podcasts.
My question is: how do I provide a design for this. Where do I upload the background design files and when, do I do that when I register the podcasts? Can anyone tell me how this feature is called at all? I have noticed that providers that aren't even on the "featured providers" list have their own chapters.

As Reza describes, many hosts only have a single connection to network, so that single connection is always a possible point of failure. But there's a couple of things you can do to minimize the impact of a network infrastructure device failure.
When working with small appliance type switches, you might have multiple smaller switches rather than one large switch. For example, instead of having one 48 port switch, you might have two 24 ports switches, or six 8 port switches, etc.. If a switch fails, not all hosts lose connectivity.
You can also have additional ports, ideally enough to handle lost of any one unit of hardware, So, for example, if you have seven 8 port switches, when you only need 48 ports, if a switch fails, you only lose 1/7 of your hosts until they can be repatched into available ports on the other switches.
If some of your hosts have multiple NICs, then there are various method to use the two NICs to avoid a single network unit failure from dropping the host. Usually only shared servers merit that level of redundancy.

FF4 sort of works in Win 98SE via Kernel Ex but slow and lacks features

I had last version of FF2 working fine with Win 98SE but could not access features using java, Flash, etc.; I installed Kernel EX and FF4, after which it seems to work but is slow as molasses...takes more than a minute to load home page or other link, after which it won't scroll for 10 to 30 seconds. There is no history or bookmarks and the back/forward buttons do not work consistently.
It works well enough to be promising, but frustrating; is there any hope? Perhaps missing system files from Win XP? Any help greatly appreciated...I really like Firefox!

Sorry, your operating system has been officially obsolete since July 11, 2006. It's likely that websites require more recent versions of Flash Player and Java than you can run.
* [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html Flash Player 9 for older operating systems]
* [http://java.com/en/download/faq/other_jreversions.xml Where can I get older versions of Java and related documentation?]
You can try starting Firefox in a new profile and see if that helps any. But it's likely that these problems are caused by running Firefox on an unsupported operating system with the aid of third-party software. Having an overclocked CPU doesn't help matters either.
* [[Managing profiles]]
If things aren't any better in a new profile, you can try Firefox 3.6.28 instead. This version is now obsolete and insecure, but that seems a bit of a moot point in your case.

If you're unable to upgrade your hardware, you may want to consider switching from Windows to Linux. You would have the benefit of an up-to-date and secure operating system, browser and plug-ins at no cost.

[Addressed] Compiled Kernel lacking features

Hi,
A while ago I was playing around with kernel compilation for a system that needed a custom kernel to enable deprecated features: namely UMS instead of KMS. I got a tarball from Linux's github release page (mainline), ran some make commands incl. menuconfig and got a working binary that I put into /boot. This build continues to work fine, but I had no idea what I was doing so I don't think i have headers etc where they are.
AUR has linux-mainline I later discovered. Edited the PKGBUILD to use menuconfig which I am familiar with, then had no issues until I tried to load the kernel.
First issue: no ext4 support. I had to change it to built-in to the kernel to be able to mount my root partition. Odd, hadn't had to do that before but it's working now.
But, UMS doesn't seem to load at all, ACPI complains about features missing (thinkpad_acpi was compiled into kernel, I checked). dmesg and grepping for phrases just shows nothing, neither of these things seems to work or attempt to load at all. If I try and startx, it fails to find screens because KMS isn't going.
I will try linux-git which I've succesfully done before, but it takes even longer than mainline because of the checkout time (Thinkpad T60 is getting old).
Any advice on getting the linux-mainline AUR compilation working as expected?
Thanks

Good job, you've made a liar out of me
I went and checked everything, it seems it's now running with KMS successfully. I've had to run with nomodeset on all distros for then to boot, but noticed one day that dmesg had a line saying UMS couldn't be started hence I started using it and things worked so I kept with it.
Unless this was a bug in the kernel that has been fixed recently, this is extremely strange. If it returns I'll repost with more details, but it seems for now I can join the KMS 99%
Thanks

Adding Audio and Video Content to EPUB from InDesign CS5.5 | CS5.5 Design Premium Feature Tour | Adobe TV

In this episode, Colin Fleming shows how simple it is to embed audio and video content in InDesign CS5.5 for export to EPUB.
http://adobe.ly/xT0jKh

I have placed audio and video into InDesign. I did it just exactly the way this video told me. Everything works well in the preview panel. However, when I exported it to EPUB, the file of the EPUB is so small (I guess, it should have been larger because I had added video and audio file into it). Plus, When I open it in EPUB reader (ibook) and Adobe Digital Edition, It shows nothing.
What I want to do is to create an EPUB which contains image, and sound. I want to make the image as a button which plays sound when I click it. I did it by setting he button to play when clicked, but again, it is not showing at all when published to EPUB.
I hope that there will be a good solution to this matter.
Thank You.

Help w/ Zen V Media Explo

HELP?
With my Zen Micro (purchased 2 years ago), I could identify parts of source directory path as Album/Artist/Genre using the Zen Micro Media Explorer.
I purchased 2 Zen V: one for my wife and one for my daughter.
The Zen V Media Explorer is very basic/simple. It appears to lack this feature.
Once I select the folders from the various Artists/albums from my PC,
it just transfers them. It does not give me a page to set up as does the Zen Micro Media Explorer.
Is this by design (lacking features)?
How do i identify the Artist/Album in the folder path for each song being transferred over on the Zen V?
P.S. Is Zen V the same as Zen Vision?
Is this the correct forum?
i.e. is the Zen V an mp3 player or a media player?
Thanks!

I just got a Zen V plus 2 gig for Christmas. YIPPE!
I installed the disc on the admin. account for this computer so it should work on the all of the account.
I can not use the admin. account, so I use a different one.
Every time I plug in my Zen V Plus, it[the Zen V media Explorer]always says it is not connected and when I try to close the problem, I always get the 'end now' button and it malfunctions.[and yes, i followed the instructions and all]
When I got to Computer-->Portable Devices, there is my Zen V plus, and from there I can manually drag and drop my photos and music into there, and it shows up in my Zen V Plus. And when i unplug it, my music is on
BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
I chose the zen v PLUS over just the zen v because it had video, and i need the Zen V Media Explorer to convert my videos, so I can put them on my Zen V Plus. I can not drag and drop them, because they are not converted to fit the Zen V even though they are AVI videos.
I need to know how to get the Explorer to recognize my Zen V Plus just as my computer already does.
I also need it to work, and not make the end down function to show. It really ruins the whole point of getting the Zen V plus. :'(
I don't know if this helps you: I have Windows Vista.
Ps. i had a zen v before on a windows XP and explorer worked fine. I do not have both of this items anymore.

IPOD Touch /Phone needs lacks the following serious features :

ipod touch needs serious software revamp and since the first ipod none of those
features included and its a shame that such an amazing product and design lacks
of serious software.
IPOD TOUCH / PHONE needs the following features through a software/firmware
upgrade.

album,etc)
+ display all songs of an artist when the artist menu tab is clicked when a song
splays and not only from the current album

Requesting user capability to "Save Response as PDF File w/form design intact"

Love the new admin "Save Response as PDF File with form design intact" feature, but we really need for our indivual users (i.e. the ones filling out the form) to be able to do this. Our director still needs a hard copy of the form for manual signatures and those who pay by check. Our committee chairs use the online data (from excel file) but we also need the user to print a hard copy to physically turn in to the director. A .pdf file with form design intact that our user could print out and turn in would be helpful.

9500 Communicator lack of support - USA

I purchased the 9500 Communicator from Dubai back in Nov 2004 while stationed overseas with the US military, when the 9500 first came out. I have been using the phone in the US without any real major issues. Being the clumsy person that I am, I have dropped the phone on several occasions. On one of those occasions the phone fell and the front face came off and so did the keypad. It was windy and the keypad flew away why it was not attached as one with the face place I have no clue, what was Nokia thinking? Still I was able to use the phone since I remembered where the numbers were on the blank keypad.
My issue with Nokia is:
I have been trying for over two weeks to get some one in Nokia (USA, Middle East and UK) to give me a Repair Service Center's address where I can mail my communicator. I need to replace the worn/scratched/broke front and back cover as well as getting the firmware upgrade [current version I have is: 4.44(1) ] and yes, my front cover has started to flop as well.
1) I do NOT care WHERE I have to send it, just give me an address!
2) Yes I know that it is out of warranty and that I WILL have to pay for the service and parts, FINE I will PAY, JUST GIVE ME A PLACE TO MAIL IT TO! This is the question I have been asking for ever it seems! What part of this request is not comprehend able?
3) Nokia’s customer support is so pathetic! All you get is the run around! Everyone is just trying to point the finger to someone else. I even tried to order just the keypad from the US and I was told there might be a difference between the US keypad and the UK version - I DO NOT THINK SO! I have been in the telecom & computer industry in both commercial & government/military for almost 15 years. It's not like the US/UK keypad is in any other language than English! The number 1 will always look like the number 1 in the UK and the US! What a lame excuse! It is like Nokia can not communicate with each other at a Global Enterprise level! Is this NOT a Global company? What type of message are you sending your customers and your investors? I mean just because there are regional subsidiaries should not mean that there is NO communications between other regions, or wait are Nokia's products NOT communications equipment? If they can sell communication equipment and can NOT communicate amongst themselves that's pretty pathetic! It is pretty sad that one customer service center has no access to the other. Have you not heard of the software like the Remedy ticketing system? It is great for supporting things like customer support even on a Global scale!
What should have been a mundane task of giving me an address has turned into a praying for a miracle to happen request! Why did this happen? Why should it go so far up to the next level? What type of changes in training is Nokia implementing if that?
Why doesn’t the Executive branch review the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) procedures to make Nokia more efficient? Do they not listen to what their customers and industry want/ need? There are so many websites that do reviews on products like Nokia phones, is there no group in Nokia that takes heed to what others think of their product and review them and if possible send those changes down to the research and development and production departments? I know I am not the smartest guy, but I think I have been around to know better on what things companies can do to create and sell their product and thus make a name and PROFIT for themselves! Currently in the US, Nokia's stock price is ONLY $4.00 (USD). I'll bet if they actually made better products, see where industry is headed, actually listened to their customers and did some really good predictive analyses in marketing they would be an even better company producing a much better product that would create a frenzy of people all over the world wanting to buy their products like the Motorola Razr mobile phone when it first came out!
It seems that everyone I have spoken to says the same thing: Nokia products are nice but they lacks features, standard operating system, availability of software, looks, and support!
Nokia is suppose to be a Global company trying to sell its products to people and companies on a Global scale. If you can NOT support your own product then how in the hell are you suppose to support your customers? I always thought that the 9500 Communicator was Nokia's top of the line product? Well if that being the case then Nokia SHOULD have top notch support for this product! If Nokia is suppose to be the Mercedes of mobile phones well act like it then! If you can not support your high end system then why produce it in the first place? There should be tons of competent technical support professionals, options, upgrades and accessories etc... if you want to make Nokia into an industry leader then you need to have a product that works well and is sought after not only by customers but also by your OWN employees and is supported well and get some real talented minds to think of some newer things to integrate in your phone lines. Basically the Communicator series should have EVERYTHING that the mobile business customer needs on the road without having to carry around a laptop!
Maybe on the NEXT version/ generation of Communicators they would have:
Vibrate mode
Voice recognition
Operating system should be Microsoft windows mobile based
More local storage especially for MP3s
Use ring tones
2.0 or greater Mega pixel camera
Mini USB connector
USB 2.0
Programmable soft keys
Newer Bluetooth for stereo headsets
A lit keypad for when the cover is open
An external keyboard that folds and you can use for emails/ SMS
802.11 (b/g/n) support with WAP/ WEP encryption
Colored face and back plates that are interchangeable
Touch screen would be an improvement
Larger capacity internal memory
Ability to block calls that were Unknown, or originate from blocked numbers, certain numbers/ certain area codes etc...

Hi
http://www.apps.nokia.co.uk/clubnokiaservice/
If you key in 'London' into the search box, you should get a list of Nokia service companies who should be able to help.
Although I'm not in London I have used similar 3rd party companies to do chargable repairs (eg when hinges broke!)
You could try calling some of the them to see how they might be able to help.
Good luck!!

Need Suggestion for the Recurrence appointment design

Hello All,
We are planning to design a feature where doctor can create appointment with the patients on the recurrence basis like Daily, Weekly,yearly etc.
Following features also needs to be present
1. User can edit the recurrence appointment and that changes must apply to all
2. user can go and change the details for the single appointment
We had a discussion for this and identified the below schema to store the details..
TABLE Appointment
AppointmentID,
DocID,
PatientID,
FromTime,
ToTime,
IsRecurrence,
RecurrenceID
TABLE RECURRENCE
SeqID,
RecurrenceID,
FromTIme,
ToTime
So the logic is for each recurrence we will create a entry in table recurrence and will store the details accordingly
Let me know if there is any flaw in this or a better design to achieve this .
Regards,
Rajesh

I'd do it something like this...
These would be my tables...
CREATE TABLE Appointments (
AppointmentID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) Primary Key,
DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
PatientID INT NOT NULL,
AppointmentTypeID INT NOT NULL,
StartDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
DurationUnits INT NOT NULL, -- Let's say 15 min blocks...
Frequency VarChar(10) NOT NULL CHECK (Frequency IN ('Daily','Weekly','Monthly','Quartly','Annually')),
NumOfOccurrences INT NOT NULL)
CREATE TABLE Schedules ( AppointmentID INT NOT NULL,
DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
PatientID INT NOT NULL,
BegDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
EndDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL)
Then I'd create a stored procedure similar to the following (not I didn't code this as a stored proc so that it would be easier to test)
I've added in-line comments to make it easier to understand...
IF OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#TempAppt') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #TempAppt
CREATE TABLE #TempAppt (
AppointmentID INT NOT NULL Primary Key,
DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
PatientID INT NOT NULL,
AppointmentTypeID INT NOT NULL,
StartDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
DurationUnits INT NOT NULL, -- Let's say 15 min blocks...
Frequency VarChar(10) NOT NULL CHECK (Frequency IN ('Daily','Weekly','Monthly','Quartly','Annually')),
NumOfOccurrences INT NOT NULL)
IF OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#TempSched') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #TempSched
CREATE TABLE #TempSched (
DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
PatientID INT NOT NULL,
BegDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
EndDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL)
IF OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#edt') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #edt
CREATE TABLE #edt (edt DATETIME)
-- This is the appointment data that you want to add to the database
INSERT INTO #TempAppt VALUES (1,5,5,5,'20120703 17:15:00',3,'Weekly',20)
--Declare the necessary variables andset their values
DECLARE @aid INT, @did INT, @pid INT, @sdt DATETIME, @f CHAR(2), @du INT, @edt DATETIME, @noc INT, @sql VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT TOP 1
@aid = AppointmentID,
@did = DoctorID,
@pid = PatientID,
@sdt = StartDateTime,
@du = DurationUnits * 15, -- 15 mins per unit
@f = CASE
WHEN Frequency = 'Daily' THEN 'dd'
WHEN Frequency = 'Weekly' THEN 'wk'
WHEN Frequency = 'Monthly' THEN 'mm'
WHEN Frequency = 'Quartly' THEN 'qq'
WHEN Frequency = 'Annually' THEN 'yy'
END,
@noc = NumOfOccurrences
FROM #TempAppt
ORDER BY AppointmentID
-- A little dynamic SQL allows to dynamically create a DATADD function
SET @sql = 'INSERT INTO #edt VALUES (DATEADD(' +@f + ', ' + CAST(@noc AS VARCHAR(5)) + ', ''' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), @sdt, 121)+ '''))'
EXEC (@sql)
--select @sql
SELECT @edt = edt FROM #edt
UPDATE #edt SET edt = @sdt
-- Creats a loop that creates the seporate schedule occurances required by the "appointment" data
WHILE @sdt < @edt
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #TempSched VALUES (@did, @pid, @sdt, DATEADD(mi, @du, @sdt))
SET @sql = 'UPDATE #edt SET edt = (DATEADD(' +@f + ', 1, ''' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), (SELECT edt FROM #edt), 121)+ '''))'
EXEC(@sql)
SELECT @sdt = edt FROM #edt
END
-- Checks to seeis the newly created schedul conflicts with any pre-existing schedules.
-- If there is a conflict a warning will be displayed and the new data will not be added to the physical tables.
-- If there is no conflict exists, both the Appointments and Schedules tables will be updated.
IF EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM Schedules s
INNER JOIN #TempSched ts
ON s.DoctorID = ts.DoctorID
AND (ts.BegDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime OR
ts.EndDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime))
BEGIN
SELECT 'There is a conflict with a pre-existing schedule for the doctor'
END
ELSE
IF EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM Schedules s
INNER JOIN #TempSched ts
ON s.PatientID = ts.PatientID
AND (ts.BegDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime OR
ts.EndDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime))
BEGIN
SELECT 'There is a conflict with a pre-existing schedule for the patient'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Appointments (DoctorID, PatientID, AppointmentTypeID, StartDateTime, DurationUnits, Frequency, NumOfOccurrences)
SELECT DoctorID, PatientID, AppointmentTypeID, StartDateTime, DurationUnits, Frequency, NumOfOccurances
FROM #TempAppt
INSERT INTO Schedules ( AppointmentID, DoctorID, PatientID, BegDateTime, EndDateTime)
SELECT
(SELECT MAX(AppointmentID) FROM Appointments WHERE DoctorID = @did AND PatientID = @pid) AS AppointmentID,
DoctorID, PatientID, BegDateTime, EndDateTime
FROM #TempSched
SELECT * FROM Appointments WHERE AppointmentID = @aid
SELECT * FROM Schedules WHERE AppointmentID = @aid
END
Basically it simply takes the appointment info, throws into a temp table, creates a schedule based on that info, validates the schedule based on existing schedules to avoid conflicts.
If there is a conflict you get a warning. If not the appointment gets added along with the schedule.
Once the schedule is created it's a simple matter to go in and manually edit individual occurrences.
If you want to change and entire series, simply delete everything WHERE AppointmentID = ??? AND BegDateTime > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and create a new appointment.
HTH,
Jason

Acrobat Pro lacking options??

I've had two problems lately:
1. I have Acrobat X Pro on my computer. It was installed a month or two ago. It is lacking features that I know an older version had. For example, I can't reduce file size, I can't use the typewriter tool, etc. It almost appears like it's just reader, but it specifically says it's Acrobat Pro. Any suggestions? Do I need to install plugins?
2. I don't know if this is related to Acrobat or if it's an InDesign problem. We just got CS 6. In InDesign whenever I try to export a document to a PDF, it simply won't. I don't get an error, it just does nothing. Half the time it works, the other half it does nothing. I then try to print to a PDF and that works half the time as well. It's very random and it seems to have no rhyme or reason.
Is anyone able to help with these two issues? Thanks!
