Importstring with xml merging row data

I have a simple XML import I'm trying to do, rather than manually parsing the data. There's a problem though. The following XML generates 3 rows in the datawindow instead of 4. I'm using a default template.
<?xml version="1.0"?><dw_tqxml>
<dw_tqxml_row><dosetime>AM</dosetime><qty>1</qty></dw_tqxml_row>
<dw_tqxml_row><dosetime>8pm</dosetime><qty>1.25</qty></dw_tqxml_row>
<dw_tqxml_row><dosetime>NOON</dosetime></dw_tqxml_row>
<dw_tqxml_row><qty>3.00</qty></dw_tqxml_row>
</dw_tqxml>
The first and second rows come out fine, the third row is a combination of the two last rows.
Here's the result data
"AM", "1"
"8pm", "1.25"
"NOON", "3.00"
dw sql is:
select space(10) as dosetime, space(10) as qty from dummy
It's my understanding that missing data should use the default values in the datawindow.
PB 12.5 Build 5583
Anyone have any ideas on why it's merging rows? This is the first time I've used XML import, don't really have a clue what I'm missing.

I have limited experience with XML import. What I have just found is:
Column tag names are ignored during import.
The import "finds" the data between each detail item.
Appears to completely ignore the surrounding "row" tags.
Your XML file needs empty detail tags when there is no data. No PowerBuiilder import function will assign default values. Only InsertRow() function does that.
XML imports/exports works really well with nested or composite datawindows. There are templates generated that you can use. Not sure how templates work.

Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

Hello,
I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
Does the width has to do anything with this?
I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
Thanks

If the links in your example report1 and report2
follow my format stated earlier
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet/report=reportnam
e.rdf&destype=cache& paramform=htmlcss&server=<YourReportSe
rverName>&userid=scott/tiger@hrdb&desformat=pdf
This is what I believe
>
so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on
>
server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes
>
that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes
>
I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

Is it possible to use xml publisher with xml document as data source ?

I have an application that have to publish document from xml document that are not part a oracle 10g database but will be stored into Oracle Berkeley XML database insteed. Is it possible to use server and/or desktop to publish these documents ?
I test the desktop edition using the source xml document but it render no data when the template is executed (vizualization)
I installed the server edition and i'm not able to declare xml document as a data source
So i have a doubt that xml publisher is able to publish something from a xml datasource
Thanks

Yes, it is possible.
The problem should come from your template. Refer to "edit a RTF template" in the docs.
A fact is that XML Publisher server edition is not very adapted to an XML file datasource. In order to use it, you should use an HTTP datasource, with the URL of your XML document (that you should place on a web server...). The problem is that this URL is fixed and point always on the same reference...so XML Publisher server edition is not very good for that use.
I choose to use the XML Publisher Java API which is better for this task.

Fill a form with xml or excell data

I am not even sure exactly how I need to ask this and I am sure I am going to use some terms that are incorrect. Here we go.
I have a pdf form that I created in LiveCycle ES. I can import data that is saved in xml. Here is what I am trying to complete. I have users that are going to be registering for an event online. I need to take the data that is filled out online and send it to the parent org in a pdf. I would like to take the pdf that I created and import all of the data into it. Each registrant on a new page. I will be more than happy to send examples of the files and data that I am working with.

Merge LiveCycle Form with XML using JAVA

Hello.
I am trying to find out how to merge non-interactive form with XML (using JAVA) so the users can see the final output form with the data filled in.
What are my choices..?
So far, I have created the interactive forms as template using LiveCycle 8 and wrote ASP.NET code to extract data and store it in SQL database when the user fill out and submit the form.
It works great but another agency wants to access the form as well.
They told us that they will create the XML themselves from the database, so they just need to combine the form with XML to display it (non-interactive form).
They want to use JAVA but I am not sure how to do that...
Any suggestion?

Assuming that you start with XML in an org.w3c.dom.Document that stores the XML data. Before you can merge it into a form, you have to convert it to a com.adobe.idp.Document object. TO convert a org.w3c.dom.Document to a com.adobe.idp.Document object -- use the following Java code:
private Document convertDataSource(org.w3c.dom.Document myDOM)
byte[] mybytes = null;
try
//Create a Java Transformer object
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transForm = transFact.newTransformer();
//Create a Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
ByteArrayOutputStream myOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//Create a Java Source object
javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource myInput = new DOMSource(myDOM);
//Create a Java Result object
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult myOutput = new StreamResult(myOutStream);
//Populate the Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
transForm.transform(myInput,myOutput);
// Get the size of the ByteArrayOutputStream buffer
int myByteSize = myOutStream.size();
//Allocate myByteSize to the byte array
mybytes = new byte[myByteSize];
//Copy the content to the byte array
mybytes = myOutStream.toByteArray();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("The following exception occurred: "+e.getMessage());
//Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object and copy the
//contents of the byte array
Document myDocument = new Document(mybytes);
return myDocument;
THen you can merge myDocument into the Form using renderPDFFOrm:
FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(
formName, //formQuery
myDocument, //inDataDoc
pdfFormRenderSpec, //PDFFormRenderSpec
uriValues, //urlSpec
fileAttachments //attachments
Hope this helps!

Date Filtering with XML data

I'm displaying events in a spry :repeat region with my source
being XML.
The date is set in the XML like:
<event>
<name>EventName</name>
<desc>Christmas Eve</desc>
<stopdate>12/25/2007</stopdate>
</event>
How would I hide this event after its given <stopdate>
value?

<script>
function getCurrentDate(){
objToday = new Date();
year = objToday.getFullYear();
month = objToday.getMonth() + 1;
if ( month < 10 )
month = "0" + month;
day = objToday.getDate();
if ( day < 10 )
day = "0" + day;
strToday = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
return strToday;
</script>
And maby use
<tr spry repeat>
<td spry:if="{stopdate} >
getCurrentDate()">{stopdate}</td>
</tr>
Something like that would do.
If not maby set the row to date EXAMPLE:
var ds1 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("myxml.xml","races/standings");
// Example of setting the type of one column:
ds1.setColumnType("start", "date");
I think that is what u want.
It checks if the {stopdate} greater than the current date..
if it true, it will show the date. else it wont... ofcourse u can
change the operator of the spry if ;)

      <option spry:if="{ds_RowNumber} != {ds_CurrentRowNumber}" value="{name}" tabindex="5" >{name}</option>
    </select>
that should be a spry:detailregion, and you have a double dsStates
And when you are using multiple datasets inside a region, it might wise to prefix you template tags with the correct dataset
{ds_RowNumber} => {dsStates::ds_RowNumber}

Problems with codepage after refreshing data from XML

Hello,
I've created a dashboard with XML connection.
XML file with new data is created via macro in INPUT.xls Excel file. This INPUT.xls file was created through exporting spreadsheet from Xcelsius and then adding a macro to it, so text data should be this same codepade. Generated XML through macro have no errors and Flash file gets numeric data with no problems.
But there is other problem with text's codepage. After reload there are some unidentified symbols in place of polish alphabet letters.
What should I do to make it right? Is this a problem with codepage or something else?

Can you merge Iphone data from a new iphone with an old back up?

I am looking for some advice.
I recently had my my iPhone and my MacBook Pro stolen at the same time. Fortunately I managed to get a new iPhone on my insurance which I received before I bought myself a new MacBook. I resorted my MacBook from a back up I kept separately. I wan't to sync my new iPhone with my previous iPhone data held on my iTunes. I would like to do this without loosing the SMS messages, apps and data held on my current iPhone. The other issue is that my new iPhone has a newer version of iOS then my previous iPhone.
Is it simply a case of just plugging my phone into iTunes and it will automatically sync the data and merge them or will I have to so something else to merge the two accounts?
Thank you in advance,
Best Wishes,
Jamie

Sorry, you can't do what you want. The restore from backup process is all or nothing. Yes, you can restore from your previous phone's backup, but you will lose all new data...not in that backup...currently on your phone. There is no supported way to merge this data.

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Form with XML interface cannot retrieve all data from SAP

hi all
I want to use the Adobe forms for the real estate module.
I had seen that adobe forms can have an interface with XML input and output as parameter.
In the interface type only the /DOCPARAMS an the DOCXML are INPUT parameters which are available.
No other INPUT parameter can be added to it.
When i try to retrieve the data in real estate there are some default function modules for retrieving the data from real estate.
But this function modules also are going to find out if the form which asks for this information has a IMPORT parameter
for the required data. For example, the SENDER data is retrieved, but before the default function module retrieve this data
the function module checks if the form has a INPUT parameter SENDER.
And that is not the case. And i cannot create the SENDER parameter to it, because this INTERFACE type does not allow it.
Does anybody know a solution herefore?
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Hi Bhaskar
It is a long time ago, almost 2 years.
I created my own custom development for calling the Adobe form. This custom development uses the correct function module interface with the IMPORT XML.
The XML which i sent as IMPORT PARAMETER to the form is also created by own custom development. Via the default XML class of SAP
So that was my solution
Kind regards,
