Tamino XQuery Axis Support

Hi,
I am trying to use an XQuery with the ancestor-or-self axis, which doesn’t work! I have also tried ancestor, but to no avail. My XQuery is as follows

let $allFinancialPoints := input()/financialHierarchy//*[count(ancestor-or-self::*[@deleted = true()]) = 0]/@id
for $pea in input()/pea
	[deleteDetails/deletedFlag != true()]
    [currentStatus/status = 'raised']
    [profitCenter/facilityName]
    [not(profitCenter/facilityID = $allFinancialPoints)]
return
	<pea-details>{ $pea/id, $pea//profitCenter }</pea-details>

This started me thinking about other axis support. I tried them out, some worked, but the ones listed here didn’t:

  • ancestor
    ancestor-or-self
    following
    following-sibling
    preceding
    preceding-sibling

I’m using Tamino 4.4, which I believe is the current release. Does Tamino support these?

  • If not is there any timescale for support?
    If so, where am I going wrong

Hi,

yes, Tamino 4.4. is the current release. The supported axis are listed in the documentation: …\Program Files\Software AG\Tamino\Tamino 4.4.1.1\Documentation\en\xqueryref\ref-Axis.htm
Here you see that the ancestor axis is available, and in fact it works.

The next version of Tamino will support the full XQuery standard (if it is a standard by then, currently it’s not)

Harald,
I just tested it again on my PC and on a collegues, but it shows red in the xplorer and gives an error, yet when we remove the ancestor-or-self axis, it says its a valid xquery.

I’ve checked the tools and they are 4.4.1.1 along with all the databases

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hi Ryan,

ancestor is supported, but not ancestor-or-self.
