I have no trouble to define a Tamino schema (without unique or key definition)using Tamino Interactive Interface. But when I define a unique or key, it occurs an error like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
- <ino:response xmlns:ino=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/response2” xmlns:xql=“XQL FAQ (XML Query Language - Frequently Asked Questions)”>
- <ino:message ino:returnvalue=“7703”>
<ino:messagetext ino:code=“INOXDE7703”>validation has detected an error in document</ino:messagetext>
ino:messagelineINOXDE7730: Line 30, Column 36: (cvc-model-group.1):invalid end of sequence [element “xs:unique” in element “xs:element”]</ino:messageline>
</ino:message>
</ino:response>


My Tamino schema:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:tsd = “http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/TaminoSchemaDefinition” xmlns:xs = “XML Schema”>
xs:annotation
xs:appinfo
<tsd:schemaInfo name = “TestSchema”>
<tsd:collection name = “test”></tsd:collection>
<tsd:doctype name = “Beispiel”>
tsd:logical
tsd:contentclosed</tsd:content>
</tsd:logical>
</tsd:doctype>
</tsd:schemaInfo>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element name = “Beispiel”>
xs:complexType
xs:sequence
<xs:element name = “Person” maxOccurs = “unbounded”>
xs:complexType
xs:sequence
<xs:element name = “Nachname” type = “xs:string” minOccurs = “0” maxOccurs = “unbounded”></xs:element>
<xs:element name = “Vorname” type = “xs:string” minOccurs = “0” maxOccurs = “unbounded”></xs:element>
<xs:element name = “Geburtsdatum” type = “xs:date” minOccurs = “0” maxOccurs = “unbounded”></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name = “version” type = “xs:string” fixed = “1.0”></xs:attribute>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:unique name = “NameUnique”>
<xs:selector xpath = “Person”></xs:selector>
<xs:field xpath = “Nachname”></xs:field>
</xs:unique>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Butterfly,
which version of Tamino and the schema editor are you using? Have you tried to load your schema into the Tamino Schema Editor? When I try it with editor version 4.1.4.2 and convert the XML schema into a TSD4 (Tamino Schema Definition 4), I get the messages:
This XSD “unique” definition cannot be used in TSD4.
The XSD property “name” of the “unique” definition cannot be used in TSD4.
The XSD property “selector-xpath” of the “unique” definition cannot be used in TSD4.
The XSD property “field-xpaths” of the “unique” definition cannot be used in TSD4.

Are you sure the mentioned unique and key tags are supported by your Tamino version?
Regards,
Gerald

P.S.: By browsing through the Tamino server documentation I found the following paragraph:

The following elements are not supported by TSD4:
xs:attributeGroup
xs:complexContent
xs:group
xs:include
xs:key
xs:keyref
xs:list
xs:redefine
xs:restriction within xs:simpleContent
xs:union
xs:unique
xs:whitespace

This explains the encountered problem. With the next version of Tamino, scheduled for 2Q2004, more XML schema elements might be supported, please check the release notes.
Sincerely,
Gerald
