How to load XML files ? HELP!

Hi folks.
We have an old Oracle database 7.3..
So we need to load XML files into its tables.
As we understand Oracle Loader doesn't help us.
Is the way to load that files?
Thanks in advance
Alex

I know you realize 7.3 is old but this is sort of like trying trying to view a DVD when you only have a VCR. Simple answer would be buy a DVD player, i.e. upgrade to a more recent version of Oracle where you will get many features to handle XML.
How do you want the XML loaded, all as a single object? That could be a CLOB column if 7.3 had them, I am not sure. You would probably have to write PL/SQL and something with UTL_FILE (if 7.3 had that) to load it.
If you want to put it multiple columns based on its tags, you would be better off parsing it using PERL (or something) into a CSV and loading that in SQL*Loader.
I assume as this is using XML it is a reasonably recent design, combining that with an ancient version of the database is just going to lead to endless headaches.

How to load XML file to DB

Hi All,
My requirement is I have a XML file, its data should be stored in Database.
Below is the sample XML file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<PaymentInfoResponse>
<TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
<SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
<CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
</PaymentInfoResponse>
<StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
<StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
<ResponseItemCount>2</ResponseItemCount>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
I have a table with columns name say TransType,SeqNum
the value 940,04 from XML file should be saved in TransType,SeqNum Column respectively
I am using file adapter with native format builder,selecting file type as complex type and
In design schema,I'm not able to proceed,i'm getting error in POP up as:
Native Format builder:error
No global elements exist.
How can i proceed or any other way to load XML file to DB.
urgent Help/suggestion is required.
Thanks in advance

HI all,
1)If my input is .txt file.
we can use file adapter,using native builder,sample it,
delimited/fixed length, we can do normal file read and file write/DB write.It works fine.
2)If my input file is xml file,we can't use native builder format(Because it doesn't support
delimited/fixed length/complex character in native format builder).
so,as said in the above reply,i took a sample XML file & converted to XSD using
File Menu > New > All Technologies tab > General > XML > XML Schema from XML Document.
It compiles fine.
Now,if i use file adapter(read) -- BPEL -- File adapter(write).
Inside Transform,i am mapping filereadVariable and filewrite Variable correctly.
If my input file is Abc.xml and its contents in read file are:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<PaymentInfoResponse>
<TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
<SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
<CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
</PaymentInfoResponse>
<StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
<StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
In write folder,my contents are
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<imp1:PaymentInfoResponse>
<imp1:TransactionType/>
<imp1:SequenceNum/>
<imp1:ReceiptTime/>
<imp1:CompanyCode/>
</imp1:PaymentInfoResponse>
<imp1:StatusCode/>
<imp1:StatusDetail/>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
Now,if i use file adapter(read) -- BPEL -- DB adapter(merge).
Inside Transform,i am mapping filereadVariable and DBmerge Variable correctly.
If my input file is Abc.xml and its contents in read file are:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<PaymentInfoResponse>
<TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
<SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
<CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
</PaymentInfoResponse>
<StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
<StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
My output in em console is like this.
<CeStatementHeadersIntCollection>
<top:CeStatementHeadersInt>
<top:statementNumber/>
<top:bankName/>
</top:CeStatementHeadersInt>
</CeStatementHeadersIntCollection>
NO data is being inserted into DB.
I can write my XMl file into write folder as it is using opaque object(No native format translation)
I can write XML file into DB using BLOB data type.
But my requirement is:
I have a table with columns name say TransType,SeqNum
the value 940,04 from above XML file should be saved in TransType,SeqNum Columns respectively.
Can i do it using DOM parser/SAX parser?
So any suggestion/help required
Thanks in advance

How to load XML File to BW Delta Queue via Webpage

Hello altogether,
I am trying to load an CSV file via Webpage (the Webpage have to change the csv file in a xml/soap file) into BW Delta Queue.
Steps that I have made:
- Create an InfoSource
- Create an BW Data Source with Soap Connection
- Create an initial Delta without Data Transfer
- Create a Web Service with TC - SE37 - Utilities -> More Utilities -> Create Web Service
If I test the Web Service with TC - Soamanager (BW 7.0), the data entered here, are transferred to the BW Delta Queue.
If I test the function module ( TC - SE37), the data also transferred to the Delta Queue.
Now I think, that I have an error in the html file or the html file is not conform to the wsdl document?? Or should I have to create a virtual interface, but I don't find a possibility to creat it...???
Can you please help me????
The coding of the WSDL Document and the Website is attached (I can also send you the coding and error message via mail, if you want). Sorry I don't know how to display here the coding. I try it with symbol "click to display the text code", but afterwards I get an error message from the website... So let me please know your mail address and I send it via mail....
I hope, that somebody can help me!!!!!

Edited by: Alina99 on Sep 8, 2009 11:56 AM

Hello,
I have done all the necessary config in BW. However, as I mentioned earlier, we are still not up with XI so I am trying to load XML to BW delta queue. The question still remains, how do I make make the XML file (on my desktop say) point to the BW so the InfoPackage picks up and places in the delta queue? Even if I had XI, there has to be a way whereby BW looks for the XML file. That is what I want to know and stuck at.
Any detailed step by step help will be appreciated as always.
Cheers

How to load XML file to table (non-XML) with SQL*Loader -- issue with nulls

I have been attempting to use SQL*Loader to load an XML file into a "regular" Oracle table. All fields work fine, unless a null is encountered. The way that nulls are represented is shown below:
<PAYLOAD>
<FIELD1>ABCDEF</FIELD1>
<FIELD2/>
<FIELD3>123456</FIELD3>
</PAYLOAD>
In the above example, FIELD2 is a null field and that is the way it is presented. I have searched everywhere and have not found how I could code for this. The issue is that if FIELD2 is present, it is coded like: <FIELD2>SOMEDATA</FIELD2>, but the null is represented as <FIELD2/>. Here is a sample of the control file I am using to attempt the load -- very simplistic, but works fine when fields are present:
load data
infile 'testdata.xml' "str '<PAYLOAD>'"
TRUNCATE
into table DATA_FROM_XML
FIELD1 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD1>' AND '</FIELD1>',
FIELD2 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD2>' AND '</FIELD2>',
FIELD3 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD3>' AND '</FIELD3>')
What do I need to do to account for the way that nulls are presented? I have tried everything I could glean from the web and the documentation and nothing has worked. Any help would be really appreciated.

I hadn't even got that far. can you direct me to where the docs are to import data that is stored within xml but that you don't need any xml functionality, that just happens to be the format the data is stored in? thx

How to load XML files into ORACLE8i database?

SAP data is being extracted into XML format (via IDOC) files which are being transferred to an ORACLE8i box. There will be a large amount of data transferred on a daily basis which will include updates and inserts. From all the information that I have read on this subject there are 2 options available :
1. XML-SQL Utility - which converts XML into INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE SQL. There does not appear to be that much functionality available by this method for decodes, transformations on the input data.
2. SQL*Loader - There was a statement in 1 piece of documentation stating that SQL*Loader could be used for loading XML format data files. I cannot however find any further information on how this is achieved or how it works.
If anyone has any experience in loading XML format data files using either of the above methods (preferably SQL*Loader as it has more functionality) then could you please provide me with examples or guidance on this matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not familiar with XML format data files. I am from an Oracle 7.3 background but do not have much experience with Oracle 8 onwards.
Disclaimer.
Any views expressed in the above paragraphs are my own and not that of Hewlett Packard Ltd.

We are loading XML into our database using CLOB datatypes. We don't use the XSU for inserts as it is too slow. We parse the incoming XML document into a PL/SQL record type and then build a generic insert. This might not work well if you have many tags to parse into columns. We also store the entire XML CLOB into a column without parsing the individual tags into separate columns. We then use Intermedia Text for fast, index-based searching within the XML column.

How to load xml file data

hi ,
I know how to load data from csv file...
Anyone can guide me for how to load data from xml file
i need step by step guidence
from
naman

hi naman shah,
you can used XML DOM in SAP in order to read data from xml file
first step to do that, you need to read the xml file using OPEN DATASET
after that you convert the content of the file to XML DOM class in SAP using function modul SDIXML_XML_TO_DOM
after that you can read / manipulate the data from xml.
for the XML DOM class documentation in SAP, please refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/bb/576637dca511d4990b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
hopes it helps

Error With loading XML file.Help me

Hi!
I am trying to make an mp3 player for my web site but I am
having a little problens and I hope you can help me out.
It is a xml driven mp3player. I have a mp3player.as file and
a songs.xml file. Inside my flash movie I only have #include
"mp3player.as".
Here is my mp3player.as code :
[CODE]
//Setup Sound Object
var s :Sound = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);
//Array of sounds
var sa:Array = new Array();
//Current Playing Song
var cps : Number = -1;
//Load the XML into a xml file
var xml :XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function()
var nodes : Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
sa.push(nodes
.attributes.url);
playSong();
xml.load("mp3player.xml");
// Play mp3 file
function playSong() :Void
if(cps == sa.length -1)
cps = 0;
s.loadSound(sa[cps],true);
else
s.loadSound(sa[++cps],true);
[/CODE]
And here is my songs.xml file :
[CODE]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<songs>
<song url="music\setsite.mp3" />
<song url="music\Soul Magic - Soul Magic.mp3" />
<song url="music\Technotronic - NRG Flow.mp3" />
</songs>
[/CODE]
Everytime I test my movie I have this msg :
Error opening URL
'file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20Documents/Web%20Sites/site%20MA IO%202007/undefined'
What is wrong with my code?
When I comment this line xml.load("songs.xml") my movie runs
fine.But I cant fix it..
thank you

Others here in the forums know more about the Sound class
than I do... I haven't used it so much. You are using the
'streaming' type of sound with the isStreaming flag set to true
which means that it starts to play before its fully downloaded. So
on a slow connection I presume it could play and stop in the same
way that the timeline on a movie will pause playing if the rest of
it has not downloaded yet.
For a streaming sound, I guess you could get around this by
implementing a partial preload by using s.stop() after issuing the
s.loadSound command. Then do a "regular" preloader style checking
s.getBytesLoaded vs. s.getBytesTotal ... to a percentage (you could
even monitor the speed over 5-10 seconds to determine an
appropriate level of buffering...maybe) and then use s.start()
again.
That's how I'd tackle it, but like I said others here know
more about this, and perhaps they'll have better ideas. There
appear to be some quirks with the Sound class based on comments in
the flash 8 livedocs...

How to load XML file for Custom Pod in 7.5?

I'm developing a custom pod for our Connect 7.5 deployment, and I'm attempting to load an XML file that resides in the assets/ folder of my project. I run the pod in Flash Builder 4.5 to debug and it works just fine. Whenever I load the pod into our Connect 7.5 solution, it appears as if none of the events for the URLLoader are triggered.
Is there something else I need to do? Please help! Note - I have tried loading XML both from an actual URL and locally. Both work fine in the IDE just not when pod is in Connect.
Thanks

Did you follow the guidelines in the Connect 6 SDK documentation? This document was applicable from version 6 through 7.5.

Need help with loading XML file

Hello,
I have been browsing the web/forums for an example on how to do this for a few days now. I managed to get this working in Flash Pro quite easily but I think I am missing something when I want to do the same thing in Flex.
Basically I want to load an XML file and then set the text values of 5 labels equal to the data in the XML file.
So I a button created in MXML and have set the click event as follows:
     click="dsSetup(event)"
I have also declared the following:
     public var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("assets/myFile.xml");   //folder located under src in project
     public var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
     public var myXML:XML;
My function that loads is as follows:
public function dsSetup(event:MouseEvent):void
     trace ("dsSetup");
     myXML = new XML (myLoader.data);
     h3.text = myXML.source.itemA;
     h4.text = myXML.source.itemB;
     h5.text = myXML.source.itemC;
     h7.text = myXML.source.itemD;
     h8.text = myXML.source.itemE;
     currentState = 'MainMenu';
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dsSetup);   // I think this line is now redundant as I have set it in the MXML
myLoader.load(myRequest);
This is the way I did it in Flash and it worked ok but I must be missing something in when it comes to Flex.
Can someone explain or point me to a good tutorial that shows how to load XML in Flex?
The ones I found seem to have about 50 lines of code just to load a file and add in way to much complexity for a beginner.
Many Thanks

I would suggest to save the loaded data in a Bindable variable and then to bind the text-properties to that:
[Bindable]
var myXML:XML;
public function dsSetup(event:MouseEvent):void
     myXML = new XML (myLoader.data);
     currentState = 'MainMenu';
<s:Label text="{myXML.source.itemA}"/>

HELP!!!! How to save xml file!!!Anyone can help???

Hi,
It is urgent for me to know how to save xml file. I use VC++6.0, Oracle xdk 9.0.0.0.0 or 9.0.0.0.0Abeta under windows98.
It is OK to compile the program with print() method. But system will tell me there is illegal operation when I run it. If I delete the line with print(), the result will be normal.
in class node, there is two functions
void print(ostream *out = &cout, uword level = 0,uword step = 4);
void print(DOMString buffer, size_t bufsize, uword level = 0, uword step = 4);
Is there anyone who may tell me how to use them? to write back specific xml file?
Without print(), I can not save the xml file...It seems in Oracle xdk9.0.0.0.0, there is no obvious function to save the file.(or because I am a new comer , not familier with DOM)
Can anyone tell me how to save xml file? or just paste an example! It is very a little urgent to me...Hope you give me some ideas....
Many thanks in advance!!!!
yours,
Fiena
