Cannot open a MXL from a previous version of ISBI
PROBLEM
When attempting to open a map with an MXL extension, a pop up is encountered with the following text in a pop up window:
‘188608’ violates maxInclusive constraint of ‘32767’. The element ‘{http://www.stercomm.com/Si/Map}ConditionalFieldID with value ‘188608’ failed to parse.
CAUSE
The issue is the number assigned to the ConditionalFieldID is over the format length of 32767.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
In a text editor, open the *.MXL file and look for the following tree:
<ImplicitRuleDef>
<UseConstant>
<ConstantID>8</ConstantID>
<ConditionalFieldID>188608</ConditionalFieldID>
</UseConstant>
</ImplicitRuleDef>
Change the value to any number under 32767. For example <ConditionalFieldID>32700</ConditionalFieldID>.
All the elements that are over that number need changed. But you should also keep in mind they should be unique.
Do not change the value to -1 though. This will also correct the issue and allow the map to be opened, but the fields in question will lose the standard rule “Use Constant”.
