How to use xsl document() function with LiveCycle XSLT processor

Hello,
I would like to use LiveCycle XSLT processor to merge xml documents by using the xsl document() function.
However, I have not, yet, found clear reference information on the specifics of how to accomplish in LC. For instance if you have
a transformation that does merging using a standalone xml editor (such as Oxygen), than what is required to accomplish the same
using the LiveCycle XSLT service. How do you specify the URI of the XML document that is specified as an input in the xsl document() function. Your insight is appreciated. Regards

Hello Steve,
I checked the reference that you cited (XSLT Transformation). The reference omits discussing how to use xlst document() function within a stylesheet. I think that probably means that feature of xslt technology is not directly available through LiveCycle. When I find a workaround, I'll post an update...for the user community that might encounter the same issue. Thank you for your response and insight. Regards, jb1809

Using xsl document function in transform xsl

I'm trying to use an external xml document in an xsl transform that's used in a Transform activity in an 11g BPEL process:
<xsl:variable name="plants" select="document('plantTransposeLookup.xml')/plants"/>
I need to load up the document to use it in a lookup to get replacement values for a key.
This works fine in JDev, but not when I deploy it to the server.
The error I get when I run it is:
The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: XML-22021: (Error) Error parsing external document: 'no protocol: plantTransposeLookup.xml'.. Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct.
I've also gotten:
The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: XML-22021: (Error) Error parsing external document: 'Unsupported feature: 'document(''), when stylesheet built using InputStream, Reader'.
I've also tried using the ora:doc function:
<xsl:variable name="plants" select="ora:doc('plantTransposeLookup.xml', 'plants')"/>
......but this doesn't work in JDev and is also erroring off on the server with:
The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: XML-22016: (Error) Extension function namespace should start with 'http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/'.. Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct.
Does anyone know how to actually import an xml doc into a mapper??? I must be doing something stupid.
Thanks for any help.

In OSB, document() function needs absolute path of the XML file. So if you want to access the XML document for lookup, you need to put the XML file on the server itself and use the path of the XML file.
Although this is not a correct approach for managing lookups in OSB. The resource of XML Document type are not to be used for such use cases. What you can do is create a XQuery which can server as DVM.
Here is an example on how to use DVMs in OSB:
https://blogs.oracle.com/christomkins/entry/domain_value_maps_in_oracle_se
If you dont want to use XQuery and want to rely only on XSLT, then within the same XSLT document create a separate template which can store all the lookup data.

How to use standard java functions in a XSLT mapping

Hi All,
I wish to use a standard java function in a XSLT mapping, The issue is either i am giving incorrect namespace which is used to invoke the function or the signature of the function call is incorrect, I have read all the links in http://help.sap.com, and i know <b> one can enhance a XSLT mapping by writing one's own java code and thereby using java standard functions </b>, but the requirement is such that i need to try and use java standard function in XSLT mapping itself.
Please refer to the sample code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:javamap="java:java.lang.String">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="input" select="Title">
<xsl:if test="function-available('javamap:toUpperCase')">
<xsl:value-of select="javamap:toUpperCase($input)"/>
</xsl:if>
Author:<xsl:value-of select="Author"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
error encountered is: Illegal number or type of arguments.
please reply if you have tried a similar scenario in SAP XI.
Thanks & Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
    First of all i want to tell you that as per the documentation you can only call the static function inside xslt mapping. Your toUpperCase method is a non static function.
What i am getting is that you have an element called Author and you want to convert its value into uppercase.
you can write your own user defined function which is static.
Signature of your java method :
public static string toUpperCase(String Author,Map inputparam)
try this xslt map.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:javamap="java:JavaProgram">
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:param name="Author">
             <xsl:value-of select="//Author_name"/>
     </xsl:param>
     <xsl:param name="inputparam" />
     <xsl:template match="/">
     <Author>
             <xsl:if test="function-available('javamap:toUpperCase')">
              <xsl:value-of select="javamap:toUpperCase($Author,$inputparam)"/>
             </xsl:if>
     </Author>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope this will work.
Thanks and Regards

How to use ora:parseEscapedXML() Function with String Content

Hello,
I am receiving a ResponseMessage that returns a string, but the content of the string is actually XML. I have tried to use the ora:parseEscapedXML() function to parses the string (see XML Fragment below) to return structured XML data that can be assigned to typed BPEL variables. The documentation is very limited for this (I've looked in the Developer Guide draft that is available at the OraBPEL site).
2 customer records from XML literal fragment copied from string result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<recordset>
<customer>
<CustNum>AROUT</CustNum>
<CustLName>Hardy</CustLName>
<CustFname>Thomas</CustFname>
<CustEmail>[email protected]</CustEmail>
<CustAddress>120 Hanover Sq.</CustAddress>
<CustCity>London</CustCity>
<CustRegion></CustRegion>
<CustPostalCode>WA1 1DP</CustPostalCode>
<CustCountry>UK</CustCountry>
</customer>
<customer>
<CustNum>BSBEV</CustNum>
<CustLName>Ashworth</CustLName>
<CustFname>Victoria</CustFname>
<CustEmail>Victoria.Ashworth@B's.com</CustEmail>
<CustAddress>Fauntleroy Circus</CustAddress>
<CustCity>London</CustCity>
<CustRegion></CustRegion>
<CustPostalCode>EC2 5NT</CustPostalCode>
<CustCountry>UK</CustCountry>
</customer>
The copy rule for assigning CustNum to accountnumber that fails:
<copy>
<from expression="ora:parseEscapedXML(bpws:getVariableData('DataService_OutputVariable','invokeSpecMsgReturn','/recordset/customer/CustNum'))"/>
<to variable="outputVariable" part="payload" query="/client:QueryResult/client:customer/client:accountNumber"/>
</copy>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am attempting to provide more information in order to hopefully get some better guidance here.
1) The BPEL process I built receives input from a client that is one of city name or region name or postal code or country name and returns a list of customer records with their AccountNumber, LastName, FirstName, Email, Address, City, Region, PostalCode and Country. The BPEL flow invokes a packaged integration Web Service that retuns the records in a string whose content is XML (see XML fragment below).
2) The string content returned is vaiable based on the input (i.e. city name="London")
Two customer records from XML literal fragment copied from string result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<recordset>
<customer>
<CustNum>AROUT</CustNum>
<CustLName>Hardy</CustLName>
<CustFname>Thomas</CustFname>
<CustEmail>[email protected]</CustEmail>
<CustAddress>120 Hanover Sq.</CustAddress>
<CustCity>London</CustCity>
<CustRegion></CustRegion>
<CustPostalCode>WA1 1DP</CustPostalCode>
<CustCountry>UK</CustCountry>
</customer>
<customer>
<CustNum>BSBEV</CustNum>
<CustLName>Ashworth</CustLName>
<CustFname>Victoria</CustFname>
<CustEmail>Victoria.Ashworth@B's.com</CustEmail>
<CustAddress>Fauntleroy Circus</CustAddress>
<CustCity>London</CustCity>
<CustRegion></CustRegion>
<CustPostalCode>EC2 5NT</CustPostalCode>
<CustCountry>UK</CustCountry>
</customer>
I want to <assign> each record from the packaged integration service result (the string whose content is XML) to a complexType variable defined within the BPEL Process WSDL (see example below).
XML fragment from BPEL WSDL:
<element name="QueryResult" type="client:recordType"/>>
<complexType name="recordType">
<sequence>
<element name="customer" type="client:customerType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<complexType name="customerType">
<sequence>
<element name="accountNumber" type="string"/>
<element name="lastName" type="string"/>
<element name="firstName" type="string"/>
<element name="email" type="string"/>
<element name="address" type="string"/>
<element name="city" type="string"/>
<element name="region" type="string"/>
<element name="postalcode" type="string"/>
<element name="country" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
I have read through the tutorial and reviwed the XPath Funtion example in the reference (C:\OraBPELPM_1\integration\bpelpm\orabpel\samples\references\XPathFunction), but I am stsill very unclear as to how to handle this. I would appreciate any and all help.

How to use elapsed time function with state machine in Lab VIEW

Hello
I've been trying to use state machine with elapsed time function in order to sequentially start and stop my code. The arrangement is to start the code for 1 minute then stop for 5 minutes. I've attached the code, the problem is when I place the elapsed time function out of the while loop it doesn't work, on the other hand when I place it inside the loop it does work but it doesn't give the true signal to move to the next state.
Could you please have a look to my code and help me to solve this issue.

OK..I modded the example to stop after 2 cycles. Also recommend taking the free online LabVIEW tutorials.
run vi. case statement goes to "initialize", shift registers are initialized to their constants. goto "wait"
"start"= false, stay in current state. If true, transition to "1 min" case
reset elapsed timer with True from shift register(counter starts at zero)."time has elapsed"=false, stay in current state(1 min). If true, goto "5min" case
reset elapsed timer with True from shift register of previous case(counter starts at zero)."time has elapsed"=false, stay in current state(5 min). If true, goto "1min" case. Also, bool crossing is looking for "true-false" from "5 min" compare function to add cycle count.
Once cycle count reaches 2, stop while loop....

How to use a @PRIOR function with a SubVar in a cross dim formula?

Hi all,
I have a pretty basic logic to calculate a member:
Rate = Account1->Entity->Prior Forecast Year / (Account2->Entity->Prior Forecast Year + Account3->Entity->Prior Forecast Year);
We have a SubVar for the Current Forecast Year, so in my formula I wanted to use @PRIOR(&CurFstYr)
I got an error message: expected type [MEMBER] found [NUMBER] ([@PRIOR]) in function []
The calc validates and runs with no errors if I use &CurFstYr only, which gives me the option to create a Prior Forecast Year subvar: &PriorFstYr. Is this my only option?
I've also tried using SUMRANGE function. The formula validated for @PRIOR(&CurFstYr). Eventhough the calc script validated, the calc stopped after 3 seconds with the below error message:
Error executing formula for [Rate] (line 0): invalid object type
Any idea why the SUMRANGE calc failed to run? Also, once again, is my only option to create a new SubVar for the Prior Forecast Year?
Thanks,
Mehmet

You have this:
Rate = Account1->Entity->Prior Forecast Year / (Account2->Entity->Prior Forecast Year + Account3->Entity->Prior Forecast Year);I don't have Essbase fired up, but I wonder if this would work:
Rate = @PRIOR(Account1->Entity->&CurFstYr, 1, "Years") / (@PRIOR(Account2->Entity->&CurFstYr, 1, "Years") + @PRIOR(Account3->Entity->&CurFstYr, 1, "Years")) ;You can put a cross dim into a @PRIOR statement, but you will need to specify the dimension unless it's whatever is tagged as Time. My guess is Years is not the Time dimension.
I'll bet the @PRIOR doesn't make things fast.

How to use a 'Percentofsum' function with a group selection

Hi All!
I have created a report using CR XI in which I select on certain records in a database and then further select on those records using a group selection. The displayed records in the subgroup are correct. I sum these totals of the grouping using a formula (Basically 3 formulas, one for Reset, another for the calculation, and the third for the display) since if I just use the 'built in' summary function it will still total all records that were selected before the group selection. My dilemma is that I need to get a percentage of the subtotal based on the total of that grouping. Below is an example of the layout of the report:
                                                                            __Dept %_            Program Bugt             Prgm % of Dept Bud              Cost of %_

The "2829410" is the Display formula I used to accurately calculate the listed program budget numbers. The 3 formulas I used to get that number is a Reset formula (whileprintingrecords;Numbervar W := 0;) located in GH#1, a Calculation formula (whileprintingrecords;Numbervar W := w + Sum ({@Next Year Budget Amount}, {gl_master.a_org}); ) located in GF#2, and a Display formula (whileprintingrecords;Numbervar W;W) located in GF#1. The percentages that currently display in the "Prgm % of Dept Bud" are wrong as they use the 'built in' PercentofSum function when you right click on the filed in the details section and select summary as a percentage of. I need a formula that would do the following calculation: 448694/2829410 = 15.85% and thus the "Cost of %" formula that would do the following calculation: 293406*.1585 = 12382.
I tried using a similar "Reset", "Calculation", and "Display" formulas but I cannot get to work correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S. The reason I am using a group selection is because it is easier than listing out all the accounts (departments) that I do not want in the report and that selection could change from time to time where as what is in the group selection would never change.
Sorry for long winded explanation.

Read all about it.
You'd probably have to write a little wrapper (using JNI) that passes
parameters and return values around between your C function and
the JVM.

How to use SQL String functions with JPA and SAP NW

Hi Everyone,
I'm recently got the following problem:
I have a Web Service project using JPA. But as i found out SAPs JPA implementation or more precisely openSQL restricts the use of the LOWER() function, which converts a String to lower case.
Now I am looking for some sort of workaround. I want to execute the following JPQL query:
SELECT bp FROM BusinessPartner bp WHERE LOWER(bp.companyName) LIKE LOWER(:companyName)
I assume there is somewhere a flag to disable this restrictions, because there might be cases, like mine, where this standard functions are needed.
Kind Regards,
Carl

Hi Vladimir,
no it's not the same issue, because I am asking for a solution for this problem. There have to be ways to bypass this. Otherwise you can't use JPA properly. This is too much of a restriction!
Is there no possibility to change to another implementation than openSQL?
Regards,
Carl

URI format for using XSL document function.

Hi Tim,
>>but I am not able to figure out where I should place the xml file. What are best practices for choosing a location for the xml file?
You can place the xslt code and xml file in a single folder, zip it an import it into PI as an external definition. I think this should work
Regards
Suraj

Thank you for your reply. But my requirements are such that they need to be independent, and not be in the same imported archive (ie ZIP file). In my case the XSLT code is a standard product that is the same across multiple installations, but each installation may required some installation specific cross reference values that would be maintained in the XML file. So I need them separated so if I make updates to my XSLT and distribute it, I do not wipe out the installation specific settings that have been made to the XML file.

Use of document function in XSL

We have an existing XSL document which uses a separate XML document for mapping of enumerated values. So in the XSL document, we have a line in our XSL as follows:
<xsl:variable name="enum-doc" select="document('enumerations.xml')"/>
Followed by a load of:
<xsl:key name="a-name" match="//enum[@name ='a-name']/enumeration" use="@value"/> etc.
We would like to use the existing XSL in BPEL. Is this possible? We have been able to deploy the mapping XML file with our BPEL process, but the XML mapping file is not beinig picked up by our XSL, so in our output we have a lot of missing enumerated values.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
ma7asw

We managed to resolve the problem (We were using the wrong namespace in the XML mapping file).
So to confirm, it is possible to use the document function in an XSL transform within a BPEL process.

How to use the set functions effectively in webi ,please let me know with detail

how to use the set functions effectively in webi ,please let me know with detail

Hi,
we use use set functions on heirarchies with aggregate functions mostly .
If you include member_set, Min returns the minimum value of the aggregated data for all members in the member set.
Member_set can include multiple sets separated by semicolons (;).
The list of member sets must be enclosed in {}.
If the member set expression does not specify a precise member or node, the hierarchy referenced must be present in the table, then the member set expression references the current member in the hierarchy in the table. If the hierarchy is not in the table, the function returns the message #MULTIVALUE.
Eg .
1)     Ancestor
=Sum([YTD] ; {Ancestor([Test Hierarchy];2)})
2)     IsLeaf
=[Test Hierarchy].IsLeaf
You can use this function when you want to show your Measure only at lower level .
3)     .Depth
=[Test Hierarchy].Depth
This is also function used with hierarchy to find Level of Members .

First you have to know what you are doing, like an engineer : you have a
Laplace, continuous time transfer function but LabView handles discrete
signals only. Use matlab/simulink if you want to simulate continuous time
systems easily...
If you definitely want to use LabView, the first step is to discretize your
continuous-time transfer function, i.e. decide a sampling rate and convert
it to a "z transfor
m". Then you can directly use the "IIR Filter.vi" as I
said earlier.
