My MarkLogic database consists of a couple of sample documents in the folder "patents":

• /patents/airless_diving.json
• /patents/smart_racket.json
• /patents/tuning_ukulele.json
• /patents/waterski_drone.json

Each document looks like that:

{
  "patent": {
    "title": "Airless SCUBA diving", 
    "inventor": "Greg", 
    "description": "Diving pill that provides airless SCUBA diving for up to 1 hour"
  }
}

I am trying to create a template:

    const tde = require ('/MarkLogic/tde');
    
    const inventionsTemplate = xdmp.toJSON(
    {
      'template':{
        'context':'patent',
        'directories':["patents", "another_patents"],
        'rows':[
        {
          'viewName':'inventions',
          'columns':[
          {
            'name':'title',
            'scalarType':'string',
            'val':'../title',
            'nullable':true
          },
          {
            'name':'inventor',
            'scalarType':'string',
            'val':'../inventor',
            'nullable':true
          },
          {
            'name':'description',
            'scalarType':'string',
            'val':'../description',
            'nullable':true
          }
          ]
        }]
      }
    }
    );

tde.templateInsert('/templates/inventionsTemplate.json', inventionsTemplate);

But getting an error:

[javascript] TDE-INVALIDTEMPLATE: (err:FOER0000) tde.templateInsert('/templates/inventionsTemplate.json', inventionsTemplate); -- Invalid TDE template: TDE-INVALIDTEMPLATENODE: Invalid extraction template node: fn:doc("")/template/array-node("rows")/object-node()

What is the proper syntax for creating MarkLogic template driven extraction in my case? Am I missing some preparation step before inserting TDE?

CodePudding user response：

Your row is missing a schemaName property.

If you add that to the object in the rows array it will validate and insert.

'rows':[
    {
      'schemaName':'patents',
      'viewName':'inventions',
      'columns':[

The documentation could probably be improved to indicate which properties, such as schemaName and viewName are required and which are optional, such as view-layout.
