oXygen 18 allows me to select Saxon EE XQuery 9.7.0.4 (External) as an XQuery processor but when I use an XQuery with version "3.1" I get an error

Engine name: Saxon-EE XQuery 9.7.0.4 (External)
Severity: fatal
Description: XQuery 3.1 was not enabled when invoking Saxon

How can I use Saxon 9.7 and XQuery 3.1 with oXygen?

Hi Martin,

The XQuery 3.1 support has been implemented in Saxon 9.7, thus Oxygen v18, which bundles Saxon 9.6, does not provide a specific option to enable it.

In general, any Saxon options which are not available in the Oxygen configuration can be defined via a Saxon configuration file.
In your specific case, to activate the XQuery 3.1 support for Saxon, you should create a configuration file with the following lines: Then save the configuration file somewhere on your disk and use it in your scenario.
You can pass your configuration file in a transformation scenario configuration dialog, in the Advanced Options (small blue cogwheel at the right of the "Transformer") and apply the changes.

Hello,
Using the advice found here, I've created a config file (named config-xquer.xml) and then change the transformation scenario. But I think I'm doing something wrong.
I have created a simple xquery file But, I get this error: [Saxon-EE XQuery 9.6.0.7] XPST0017: Unknown system function json-doc()

So, I can't go forward. Any help? Is the configuration file wrong? or which type of things can we do with oxygen 18 and Json?

Thanks in advance. Best regards,

Hi,

json-doc() is available in XQuery 3.1, supported since Saxon-EE 9.7. You are using XQuery 3.0 (your XQuery file defines it as 3.0) with the bundled Saxon-EE 9.6, which does not support XQuery 3.1.

To make this work:
1. Edit the XQuery file and specify the correct XQuery version, 3.1.

2. Install the add-on for Saxon-EE 9.7 (External). Go to menu > Help > "Install new add-ons", pick the "default" update site (http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addon ... teSite.xml) and install Saxon 9.7 XSLT and XQuery Transformer.

3. After restarting Oxygen, edit the transformation scenario and select from the Transformer combo Saxon-EE XQuery 9.7.0.x (External). Press the "Advanced options" button (cogwheel), and select your Saxon configuration file.

4. Run the transformation.

It worked !!!
Thanks a lot

Hello,

I am using oXygen 19 and Saxon 9.7.0.15. But I seem to run into a similar problem when I try to use XQuery 3.1. I get the XQST0031 error and the message that "XQuery 3.1 was not enabled when invoking Saxon.

How can I activate XQuery 3.1?


Best,

Hi,

XQuery 3.1 support is still not available by default in the current build of oXygen v19.0.

As a workaround, in order to activate the XQuery 3.1 support for Saxon you should create a configuration file as specified above:
The XQuery 3.1 support will be available by default in oXygen probably in a next maintenance build or in the next version (v19.1) at most.

We'll update this thread when this is available.

Hello,

Just to update the thread, XQuery 3.1 support is available in the latest maintenance build of Oxygen 19.0, 2017062918 (released on July 5th):

Saxon XQuery: XQuery 3.1 support is now available (default enabled) for the Saxon XQuery processor. This can be controlled in general options and in the transformation scenario transformer specific options.

Excellent, I was just about to start learning some of the new features of XQuery 3.1 when I saw that the new release supported it.

It may be that the syntax coloring will need to be modified to support new 3.1 features. For example, the array syntax in the third argument to concat() here, which should probably be colored similarly to the sequence above it:

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for letting us know about this syntax highlight problem.
I have logged it to our issue tracking tool in order to be resolved in a future version of oXygen. We'll notify the thread when the bugfix is available.
