[cosmic-users] Help running tao_picml on CIAO DanCE BasicSP example

[Samuel H Abbe]

I'm using the following:
Windows XP Pro SP2, MSVC 7.1
GME 4.8.25, CoSMIC 0.4.2
ACE 5.4.3, TAO 1.4.3, CIAO 0.4.3

I'm trying create a model and use it to create dance files for an actual
application.  I chose to try to model the existing example included with
ACE/TAO/CIAO located at $CIAO_ROOT/dance/examples/basicsp.  I use tao_picml
to generate an XME file but when I try to import the XME file into
GME/CoSMIC I get the following error popup: 

Error importing XML file (0x80734001): XML parser error in file
C:\ACE_wrappers\TAO\orbsvcs\PICML_default_xme_file.xme at line 1268, char 19
: (at line 1268, char 19) Element 'name' is not valid for content model:
'(name,((regnode|constraint|attribute|model|atom|reference|set|connection))*
)'

I have the XME file but don't want to send attachments the ciao-users list.

To run tao_picml I added the following directories to PATH:
\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin
\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VSA\7.1\VsaEnv

Changed to the following directory:
C:\ACE_wrappers\TAO\CIAO\DAnCE\examples\BasicSP>

And executed the following command:
"%cosmic_root%\bin\tao_picml.exe" -I%tao_root% -I%ciao_root%\ciao
-I%tao_root%\orbsvcs -IBMClosedED -IBMDevice -IBMDisplay -IEC basicsp.idl
