Veeresh,

First regarding the use of composite primary keys for annotation, you're correct that capability used to work. However when the ability to support arbitrary-depth features in Bentley Map was added for Oracle Spatial persistence, subfeatures were required to have primary keys. Since we only support single-column primary keys on root features, it seemed natural to require a single-column primary key on subfeatures as well. At the same time, the single-column primary key requirement made sense because workspace managed tables in Oracle Workspace Manager require single-column primary keys as well. I hope this helps in explaining the reasoning behind the change.

Next in order to display domain list values rather than lookup keys, you can use PBA expression that contains a VBScript similar to what is shown in the following:

To insert a new PBA VBScript expression, select and right-click on the PBA symbology setting for your annotation and choose "Insert > PBA (VBScript)" as shown in the following:

For your convenience, I've attached a sample SQL script and XFM schema which demonstrates the above. Please let me know if you've further questions regarding this matter.

Greetings,

After reviewing your SQL script, it appears that you may have omitted the primary key definition for the annotation table which would have prevented the table being "discovered" during the "Register Features" process in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator. Attached is a revised version of your SQL script that can be used for comparison.
