Web Table extraction stopped working
Hi,
Did anyone face a situation where an operator suddenly stopped giving results, so much so that even the tutorial process stopped working. I am working on "Web Table Extraction" operator which suddenly started giving a blank page as result. Initially I thought perhaps the web page might have changed which was not the case. After trying with different web pages, I tried with the tutorial process given in the HELP, that didn't work either.
Please advise, what I may be doing wrong here.
Regards,
Rajat

Hi,
Thanks for your help. It was not just the Web Table Extraction operator but pretty much every operator. RM stopped displaying results. Finally resolved it. Thanks to an earlier thread. You can find the solution here. It was due to a file named "vlperspective*.xml"

Is it due to version mismatch issue ?

oh that is distinctly possible. I strongly recommend always running the most current version due to many incompatibility issues.

Good to know you found the actual issue. Just out of curiousity, if you feel like sharing, can you tell us in general terms the usecase for which you use this extension? As this extension is an output of a public project, I'd appreciate to know how its being used by the broader community.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Edwin

Hi,
I use this opertaor to extract survey data (election survey) and further process this data following some business rules. This operator has really expedited the whole process. Thanks for developing it.
