I am getting an error message when I try to extract a UPIPCO message for a figure in Provisioning Manager.
Here are the errors I'm getting:
ORA- 01422: Exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows and
ORA- 06512: at "Aspect.Remove_Unchanged_Data", Line 307
ORA- 06512: at "Aspect.Setup_Extraction_Data_Table", Line 30
ORA- 06512: at line 1
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Does PTC list the errors for Provisioning Manager anywhere? I haven't found anything on these errors...Very frustrating...
Hello, I noticed that if I put a description within a container, and you stretch the dialog out horizontally. The description will get shorter (because there are less text wraps) but the container (box or grid) will not shrink with it.
For example, the following will work fine (if I expand the dialog, the "Second Description" will stay against the first description when it shrinks heightwise):
<groupbox scroll="vertical" orient="vertical" resize="both" pack="start">
<description width="200" multiline="true" backgroundcolor="#d6efff" resize="width">Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text</description>
<description width="200" multiline="true" resize="width" backgroundcolor="#ffffff">Second Description</description>
</groupbox>
However, if I have issues wrap the description in a box (or grid), even if I use "natural" which states “the control resizes if necessary depending on size changes in its children”. It wont resize (down) with the description, which causes a gap between the first and "Second Description":
<groupbox scroll="vertical" orient="vertical" resize="both" pack="start">
<box resize="natural">
<description width="200" multiline="true" backgroundcolor="#d6efff" resize="width">Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text</description>
</box>
<description width="200" multiline="true" resize="width" backgroundcolor="#ffffff">Second Description</description>
</groupbox>
Is this a defect? Is there a workaround? Am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks
I'm starting to study ArborText and I have a few questions. I converted fos-file (Arbortext Epic) to style-file (Arbortext 6.0) and lost some element. I need to insert name of the img file into border of picture. Please, help me!
Hello! I'm still learning Arbortext Editor and have a new question. How can I create this element to prevent the tag. I'm trying to use the properties of the context, but not very successfully.
I’m using Arbortext 6.0 and using Windchill 10.0 to automatically create translations with the translations process, which comes with the Service Information Manager component.
I have a topic (Topic 1) that contains multiple conrefs to a source topic (Topic 2). Topic 2 is translated into multiple languages. I will not need to send Topic 1 with content references for translation, since all of the text in the Topic 2 has been translated. How do I get the content references to automatically reference the translated topic instead of the English, when I get the rest of the translated files back from the translation vendor?
It seems that the only way to have the translated text is to manually update all of the content references to reference the translated file in Windchill instead of the English. See examples below.
Conref examples in Topic 1 that reference text from the English and French source topic (Topic 2)
English Example: x-wc://file=0000005419.xml#Warnings-13549F07/TheFollowingWarningsAreForTheSetupU-FA8B028B
French Example: x-wc://file=0000006123.xml#Warnings-13549F07/TheFollowingWarningsAreForTheSetupU-FA8B028B
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

With ACL language, How to enable or disable a customized menu depending the position of the cursor in the SGML document ?
I'm currently working a problem with the IsoView plugin installed within Airbus' ADOC program. Even though I totally uninstalled and reinstalled ADOC, I'm still getting this error message whenver I attempt to view a tally sheet within the program:
"Can not find or start IsoView Server. Error -16". ADOC then locks up, and I have to shut it down.
Can anyone give me some insight into the significance of "Error -16"? ADOC is installed on Windows XP SP3 using Internet Explorer 8.

I have my Preferences to Recover every 60 seconds. We just had a power failure. I went to the Checkout Folder to capture all my data I just lost in the power outage and it didn't save anything I had been working on for the past 30 minutes. So does the Write Recovery File save option actually save somewhere else or what. Why didn't my work save up unto that last minute?
Hi there,
I'm using Arbortext 5.4 M080.
I have a custom application and have created some .tpl tag templates files in my custom/tagtemplates folder.
In the editor when I use Tools -> Tag Templates... to insert my newly added templates I can insert them into my document and all is well. However, when I go and insert the relevant element directly in my document the template is not inserted - just the element as normal.
Does anyone know if I am missing something. Is there some additional configuration I need to do to make this work?
Many Thanks for your help :-)

Fellow Forum Members,
The PTC suite of apps listed below has just been installed on my computer by my employer:
My goal now is to figure out if the following is possible. Let's say for example sake I have created the following two projects using the CSDB (Control Station) application:
I want to be able to dynmically link data module "1B" to data module "1A" (which resides in an entirely different project) so that when I make a change to data module 1A it automatically updates data module 1B as far as the basline data goes but the additional newly added data in 1B stays untouched. .
Not sure which of the following options is the correct way to go. Can this "dynamic link" I want to establish between the two data modules residing two different Projects best be done using an Alias or a RefDM or by using a Container? Those are the 3 options I have researched but I would like this community to enlighten me as to which of the three options is the most solid option to go with for setting up the S1000D conditional logic workflow for a DoD Technical Publication Department that produces a lot of technical documentation on a yearly basis. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
How can the "Modify Attributes - Link/Xref" dialog be configured to recognize custom tags in my content?
Background:
I'm using a Design Science DITA DTD that includes <equation> tags as a customization. If I want to insert an xref/href to an equation tag, the process is very painful. The default "Modify Attributes - Link/Xref" dialog does not seem to "see" these custom tags, even when Type="Any" and Show="AllElement"|"All Elements with IDs" (see example image).
As such, writers have manually type the entire relative DITA link path, with all of the correct associated IDs. This process is Bonkers!
I believe that all of my paths are set to point Arbortext to the correct DTDs, and I assumed that arbortext functionality should conform to the DTD, but that doesn't appear to be the case here. What am I missing?
Hi, all. Did you know that the Arbortext change tracking namespace declaration in DITA topics breaks the build in the DITA Open Toolkit? Here’s the issue:
Even after all changes in a file are accepted or rejected, Arbortext leaves a change tracking namespace declaration and an <info> element in the file, like so:
<task id="InsertingAVaribleList-CC4AB62F" xml:lang="en" xmlns:atict="http://www.arbortext.com/namespace/atict">
<atict:info
tracking="off" ref="0" print="" color=""/><atict:user user="mcevallo"
fullname="mcevallo" color="#8000FF"/><atict:user user="sfogel"
fullname="Steve Fogel" color="#D06000"/>
The DITA OT complains about the xmlns:atict attribute of the task element and excludes the file from the build.
We at Oracle view this as a bug and suggest that all this code be removed after the last change is accepted or rejected. We’re perfectly happy to accept that the DITA OT build might break if there is actual change tracking markup in the body of the file. But once all that markup is gone, so should be the above code.
Thanks!

There are two problems I've come across with Isodraw macros that I'm hoping someone can help with.
1. I have several macros that repeat - where you select items on an illustration one after the other and the macro makes a change each time.
The problem on all these macros is that after about the 5th time you select an item (within a while loop), it insists on refreshing the screen every time you select something.
2. Some macros I have specifically put "select none" at the end but it still leaves lines selected when the macro is finished.
3. I have another macro where you select 2 beziers on the illustration and the macro insists on changing the pens of these beziers. The first one becomes medium, the 2nd one becomes thin - though nothing in the macro changes the pens.
Has anyone else come across this behaviour in their macros and did you find a way round them?
Hello,
I am trying to understand if there is any Default DTD / Stylesheet template in ATXT S1000D Editor which can be used for a demo. I would appreciate any guidance in this direction.
