[oXygen-user] Large XML file

[Bradley, Peter]

Hi again,

Well, I got to try it.  It loads very quickly (once I'd increased the
allocated memory), but unfortunately it's infeasibly slow in operation.
Doing anything other than just opening/closing a node by clicking on the
+/-, freezes the interface for a noticeable length of time.

Searching for data is also really slow.  The kind of thing we want to do
is to locate, say, a student with a particular HUSID to check data
errors discovered for that student's entry.

Entering an XPath query like (with an, obviously, invalid HUSID):

(/Institution/Student/HUSID[.='999999999999'])

... took several minutes, with the interface freezing after the entry of
each forward slash.

It's certainly better than the editor and we may use it: but it's still
very slow.  It took me three or four minutes to make a query of the kind
shown above.

Cheers


Peter

Hi Peter,

oXygen provide also a tree based editor that is available as a tool, see

Tools->Tree Editor (CTRL+T) and also as a separate application see the 
Oxygen Tree Editor (treeEditor.exe) launcher. Please try also that and 
see if that helps.

It will be interesting for us to perform some tests with your file that 
you had problems with so if you can make that available please let us 
know on  how to get access to it (it will not work 
to just attach it to an email).

One thing that may render the format and indent on open useless is the 
possible presence of an xml:space="preserve" attribute eventually on the

root element or on some element with a large content.

Best Regards,
George
