<br> 1) I tried to 'Add File to Project' from the file menu. I got<br> 'Failed to load 'Relational DB' file system. Java Runtime environment Initialization failed.<br> <br> Then this happened 2 more times for 'XML Converters' and 'Berkeley DB XML'<br> <br> 2) I tried to open a flat-file to convert to XML and got a similar message once<br> <br> I am running v6 build 216g and when i look at about it does say that the JRE cannot be found.<br> <br> What is going on? I am not a 'Java Environment' user. <br> If it was needed how come StylusStudio has not loaded it or told me <br> "This feature is not available until the JRE is loaded. Would you like to install it now..."<br> <br> Anyway how do I get the file loading/reading features to work?<br>

The message "Java Runtime environment Initialization failed"
means that you have a JVM installed but is working properly.

Try download the latest Java runtime at http://java.com
then go to

tools ->
Options ->
Application Settings ->
Java Virtual Machine ->

and click auto detect

Hope this helps
Ivan

Thanks for the reply. <br> How do you know that it is installed & not working rather than not installed. How come the application is not responsible for such a subsystem, either installing/fixing it or offering to do so? Do I really have to add that? I have a MS based dev environment and have so far managed to avoid java stuff... will it have any side effects?

What do you see in the JVM options page?

Most of the Stylus Studio functionality do not require a JVM to be installed;
that's why we have always seen the JVM installation as a "nice to have", but not a requirement,
leaving the responsibility to the user to install and setup the version she prefers.
Things are slightly changing now; the JVM is becoming more and more important to Stylus Studio;
and we are considering the possibility of suggesting and driving a JVM installation to make things
easier for our users.

>Do I really have to add that?

If you are interested to the following features, yes

- Saxon and Xalan processors

- DB to XML

- Convert To XML

Thanks, I have done as outlined - All worked.
Problem, the CSV file I have to consume has a Document Header as the first row and no column headers. If I load the file using 'convert-TO-XML' and choose CSVtoXML it fails saying that line 2 has too many columns. If I also use the 'Convert to XML using Adapter', I can configure the column seperator(from comma to semi-colon) but with line one being the header and no way of telling the system which line to start on - I get an error "Failed - File system Adapter; Encoutered an I/O error. Java.lang.outofmemoryerror"

If the first line begins with a specific string that is unique
to that line, you can mark it as a comment line with the Comment
property. If that doesn't work, if you could post a sample of
the file, we could probably give you a quicker answer.

Thanks for the reply.<br> I am sure I could delete the first line or however many lines make up the Header rows. <br> I feel that the problem is that a flat-file converting routine must be able to define the lines at top (and also at bottom) to be ignored. Then the question about column headers being present is for the line following the excluded lines at the top.

I have also tried removing the first line, and although it helped most of the problem still exists.
I will be happy to send the file to TechSupport if that will help you pin down and help me around, or provide a fix.

I have sent it to you. Please note it is over 1.5MB. If that is too big, maybe you can accept a zip file?

Thanks to your help, we've identified a problem with the JVM not
releasing resources properly when we are converting large input
documents, even though we only convert a small piece at a time.

The good news is that we will shortly offer a patch release, 212h,
which will solve this.

When you do get that fix, the following settings will handle the
input file in the format you gave:

Line Terminator CR,LF
Separator ';'
Delimiter Pairs '"','"'
Comment String '"','U','S','A'

That last setting will eliminate the first line, since it will be the
only line that matches that pattern.
