Crystal Report that reads from an XML file Datetime or Date

I have a Crystal Report 2008 that reads from an XML file, the source File XML Date data looks like this: 2008-03-10
But the Crystal Report interpreted by datatime, I need the Crystal Report to look like this: 2008/03/10 (date) not 2008-03-10T00:00:00-05:00 (datatime)
Look at an example (source file xml, report, and parameter file to execute report) at url: http://www.5websoft.com/sample.zip
Import the file in the design and will to verify that interpret incorrectly the fields of type date as datetime
not mapped currently for fields..
Help.....
Thanks!

You could always reformat the field to only display the date portion:
Format Field > Date and Time tab; choose the date style you need here.
Or create a formula to extract just the date and use this field in your report:
date({table.field})

How to read from a xml file(in String format) using a java program

hi friends
i have a string , which is xml format. i want read the values and display it.can any one suggest how to read a xml file of string format using a javaprogram
thanks

        final DocumentBuilder db = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
        final InputStream documentStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(documentXMLSourceString.getBytes("utf-8"));
        final Document document = db.parse(documentStream);

How can I read an XML string that's not from an XML file?

I've got a script I'm trying to setup that communicates over a socket to retrieve different directions from a custom built Java program. The Java program listens to requests from the Adobe scripting engine (in my case it's a Photoshop script) on a socket and immediately responds with the next set of directions. These directions are currently in XML format. The issue I'm having is that I can't parse the XML data since it's entered into a new XML object from a string rather than being read from a file. Even without the socket code, you can see the issue by doing the following:
var xml = new XML("<test><data>hey!</data></test>");
alert(xml.test.data);
alert(xml);
The first alert "should" return "hey!" (without quotes, of course), but it doesn't, while the second alert returns what you would expect it to:
<test>
<data>hey!</data>
</test>
It works fine if read from an XML file, but from a string, like shown above, it just presents an empty alert box when attempting to access "xml.test.data". Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Can it be fixed? Has it been fixed in newer versions (I'm currently using CS4)?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Duh... found my error... I was attempting to access the data by referencing the created "root" element. Since <test> is the very first element tag, it's setup as the root element, which you don't need to reference. Changing the alert to alert(xml.data); fixed it.
Now I just feel dumb, lol...

Java Applet that reads from file

I'm quite new to java, I'm fiddling around with it for a nonprofit organization.
I have a java program that reads from a specified file and generates output but my final goal is a search box on the website that will take user input, run it through my program which searches through a prespecified file, and generate output.
I'd appreciate any help.

What can I do with this? I need it to be a String because I'm breaking it down to Tokens.
Thanks,
-Grant
Scanner input = null; //input is going to be the Scanner object
input = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("test.txt"))); /*setting up the Scanner object "input" to read the file "test.txt"*/
String words = null;
String MyArray[] = new String[5000];
while (input.hasNext()) { //Puts ALL the file's data into one string
words = words + " " + input.next(); /*Without that space the string "words" contains is all just one word making it unTokenizable*/
}

Getting data from an XML file and pushing it to a database

I need to create a coldfusion page that grabs an incoming xml file, extract the data and then push it into a database. I have never done anything like this, and have been reading as much as I can find. Can anyone recomend a good resource or give me a hand on how I go about doing this?
The xml file is coming from another page. Basically the source page is a simple text box that an xml file is pasted into and submited. The action page must grab the xml file, pull out the data and funnel it into a table. Then it must query the table and based on the results of the query, push a new xml file back to the user.
<my brain is already hurting>

I'd start by looking at the CF documentation related to XML and Ben Forta's books.
"About XML and ColdFusion" from CF docs:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec133ba -8000.html
Ben Forta's books
http://www.forta.com/books/0321679199/
It would be good to know:
1. What the workflow is for your task. Can you describe your task in detail and provide samples of the XML and database?
2. The database you are using and the structure of your tables.
3. The version of CF you are using.

Open CR reports from an xml file

Hi, Im new using Crystall Report technologies and I wonder if this is possible.. I have a web application and want to use some crystall reports that have been designed some time ago...the thing is that I dont want the reports to be compiled with the project..insted I'd like that the project points to the reports through a xml file where Im going to write the paths where the reports are so that if I change of server o file (where the reports are stored) I only have to change the paths in the xml file...can this be done? ...hope you can help me...thanks...bye

Yes, this is can be done. Since you are storing the path to the .rpt files in an xml file, you will need to write some code to retrieve the path to the report. Now that you have the path to the report, when you create an instance of the ReportDocument class, use its Load() method and pass it the path of the report to its argument and you will achieve what you are wanting to do.
To stop the report files from being built as a Resource in your project, change the BuildAction property for the report (in your project) to None.

How to read configuration data from an xml file (not web.xml)?

Hi,
I want to separate the application specific configuration parameters in a separate xml file and read them as and when they are needed? I know that I can use the wb.xml but I want to separate them in a different xml file because I don't want the web.xml file to be played around later after deployment. If any change is needed then it should be done in the application-config.xml.
How can I read the parameters from this xml file in my jsp code and also what should be the location of this file if I have
../webapps/Root/application
directoty structure ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

can you give an example of a property file and also
it is loaded in the jsp ?Hmm... loading properties in a JSP is not a very good idea. You should do it in a separate class, rather than mixing the logic with the display logic.
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(UtilClass.class.getResourceAsStream("config.properties"));
// Add a try - catch block around the load
// for IOException...

Application to Read and Write the Configuration Data from a xml file

Hi,
I have to develop a Webdynpro application that will do the following:
Read the Configuration data from an xml file
If stored in a file , and the file is not found, prompt the user to provide the file location.
Pre-Populate the screen(table) with the configuration data
Allow the user to edit the data
Store the configuration data when the user hits the Save button
The config xml file details are as follows:
Regardless of the location of the configuration data, the following fields will be stored
Application (string) will always contain u201CSFA_EDOCSu201D
Key (string) eg LDAP_USER, DB_PREFIX, etc.
Type (character) u201CPu201D = Plain Text, u201CEu201D = Encrypted
Value (string)
Since I am new to WD, I would require help on this.
Please help.Its Urgent.

Reading rule sets from an XML file

Hi all,
How can I read rule sets from an XML file? I have been given some rules in XML
format and using those I have to query some content. I am using WLP4.0
Also how can I code rules in java?
Thanks in advance.

You can have the following classes:
Players class deriving from Vector (or containing a vector), and then
Player class with attribute 'name'.
class Players
           Vector myVector = new Vector();
            void addPlayer(Player p)
                  myVector.add(p);
            Player getPlayer(int index)
                  myVector.get(index);
class Player
         private String myName = null;
         Player(String name)
                this.myName = name;
         String getName()
                return myName;
}Then while handling the SAX events you can do the following:
class MySAXHandler implements ContentHandler (or whatever the itnerface is)
             public void startElement(String name,....)
                      Players p = null;
                      if(name.equals("Players"))
                             p = new Players();
                     else if (name.equals("Name"))
                            p.add(new Player(value));
}HTH,
Kalyan.

CROSSTAB from an XML file with iReport / Jasper Report

Hi all,
I need to create a report using crosstab with an XML file. The iReport guide doesn't answer to my problem.
The XML file contents one tag called "HEADERS" with "NAME-HEADERS" corresponding to all column names and different tags called "LINE-DATAS" with corresponding values.
I want to feed column groups with NAME-HEADERS and details with LINE-DATAS.
How can I describe this in a crosstab ?
Thans for your answers.
Richard.

Has anyone Connected a Crystal Report directly to a Microsoft Project file (MPP)?

Post Author: Brian Morris
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Iu2019m aware I can save Microsoft Project Files (MPP) to an Access Database, Excel document etc. and there are ways to connect to a Microsoft Project Server.
I wanted to know if anyone has managed to connect directly to one though. Currently we use MPPs to report project status and other deliverables, and itu2019s been an annoyance to have to save the project file then export the data over into a new excel document when ever we have changes (since not all users have project or need all the data in the file).
Preferably, a user should be able to save that project file and anyone that has the Crystal report should be able to run the report against the MPP file. In addition to this, it would be extremely helpful in getting a formalized and nicely formatted report when running reports against rational and MMP files, thus giving an alternative from SODA reports in Microsoft word, which doesnu2019t always work well.
Thanks!

Post Author: Brian Morris
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Ok, I answered my own question on the connection issue, but I'm having issues with the predefined fields that enter into the report. The Database Expert shows the correct table names, but when I select them and look at the fields, they are all showing fields that are part of the "Project" table. when I use "Add Command" and use SQL to do a "Select * From TableName" ,where TableName is the name of the respective table, I get the data I'm looking for. Has anyone else run into this error? Is the error on Crystal Reports side or the Data provider's OLE DB driver? Has anyone with a fully patched system encountered the same errors?
Current SetupCrystal Version: 11.0.0.1282CR Professional; Product Type:FullOLE DB Driver: Microsoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provider
I have pasted my findings below, hopefully other people won't have the same issues I did trying to find this information. if anyone else wants to test and see if they get the same issues I did it would be greatly appreciated.
Connecting a Crystal Report XI to a Microsoft Project File (MPP)
Prerequisites (as I know them)
- Have an installation of Crystal Reports on the machine (a given)
- Have Microsoft Project 2000/2003 installed OR the Microsoft Project OLE DB provider which is installed with Microsoft Project (NOTE: Microsoft 2007 supposedly no longer supports OLE DB and requires an OLAP cube be made or a SOAP connection be used, which I donu2019t deal with personally)
Creating the connection
Start Crystal Reports
Click u201CBlank Reportu201D on the start page
in the u201CDatabase Expertu201D window, under u201CAvailable Data Sourcesu201D, Select u201C+u201D next to u201CCreate New Connectionu201D
Select the u201C+u201D beside u201COLE DB(ADO)u201D
If a u201COLE DB (ADO)u201D window does not come up, double click u201CMake New Connectionu201D
In the u201Cprovider:u201D box Select the u201CMicrosoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provideru201D
The name may be different depending on the version of project you install and the patch you have on the machine
Select u201CNext >u201D
Under u201CDatabase:u201D copy/paste in the path and project file name
I donu2019t believe the other fields u201CData Source:u201D, u201CUser ID:u201D, or u201CPasswordu201D need to be filled out, and in fact, I got an error when entering in data into them
Example: u201CC:\Projects\Project Name\Current Schedule.mppu201D
Select u201CNext >u201D
In the Advaned information window, verify the project Name is the path of the project.
I have not found the use of u201CEnterprise Modeu201D (default: 0), u201CAlways Loadu201D (default: 0), u201COLE DB Servicesu201D(default: -5), or u201CEnterprise RUID Listu201D (default: blank), removing them or changing them did cause errors though.
Click u201CFinishu201D
Adding in Tables and extracting data
You now have a connection to the project File you listed. There is an issue Iu2019ve found though that all the tables you see listed are filling their fields in from the u201CProjectu201D Table, rather then their respective tables (Example: u201CAssignmentsu201D is pointing at u201CProjectu201D rather then the obvious connection u201CAssignmentsu201D). You can, however, use the u201CAdd Commandu201D and select the table you want with just a little SQL code:
Select *
From Assignments
After creating the command, highlight it and hit u201CF2u201D. You should be able to edit the name and change it from u201CCommandu201D to something more meaningful. At the current time Iu2019m unsure if the issue with the default tables all pointing toward the project table is an error on the provider side or Crystal Reports end, and if one of the new patches will fix it. I will update this document accordingly when I have more information and do more testing. I will note however, there is no way to change which table these preset fields point to.
Thank you for your time.

Bursting from an XML file

I have a BIP Report that I'm generating from an XML file. The XML file also contains the email addresses to which these reports should be bursted to. When creating the data model from the XML file, I have the option of defining my bursting options but it seems that "SQL Query" is only allowed option.
Is it not possible to burst dynamically from an XML file?
Could you show me how I can get this done. The docs haven't really been too helpful.
Thanks

Of course, this is possible. But what kind of "GUI XML" are you talking about? Is the XML given? Does it already conform to some GUI-XML-API? Give more infos!

Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file.
Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
important files that we are unable to access now.
I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
Other relevant information:
We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!
-John

I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
"If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
the external drive back in to your new computer. "
Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection".
I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
at "0 USN bytes processed".
