Define.xml Generator not working [SOLVED]

Hi Fredrik,

I assume that your excel specs have metadata consistency problems. You can send your excel file to me for diagnostics.

Kind Regards,

Thank you Sergiy, but the Excel specification is what I am trying to generate.

Sorry, then I need your dataset to try diagnosing the issue. You can create one row dummy dataset.

Here are some potential reasons

  • XPT file name and its dataset name are not the same
  • Invalid SAS XPORT v5 format. For example, using SAS PROC CPORT
  • Issues with correct installation of P21 tool

Sergiy, I have sent you a dummy ADSL.xpt by e-mail.

By “installing” the program in a subfolder to C: rather than in a subfolder to C:\Program Files, we managed to get the program to work.

I am not able to generate an Excel specification using the Define.xml Generator. It does not matter whether I try to generate it from XPT files or from a define.xml document. The progress window opens (screenshot below), but then nothing happens.

EDIT: The problem was solved by unzipping the files to c:\pinnacle21 instead of c:\Program Files\pinnacle21.
