JRC XML Data source

I'm trying to see a report based on an XML data source with JRC
I'm using crystal reports XIR2 with websphere 5.1.1;
with a simple report i'm able to see it, then i tried to add a parameter (discrete/not multiple) in the report but if i don't pass it in my jsp page i have the error "some parameters are missing" and it don't prompt me for parameter value (i've set CrystalReportViewer.setEnableParameterPrompt(true)) and if i pass the parameter in the way of other reports (with ParameterFields etc... or with ParameterController) ii have the java.lang.NullPointerExcepion at the processHTTPRequest
please help, i'm stucked!!!

JRC and XML Data Source

Hi!
Does the JRC execute a report with an XML data source (URL XML Http and URL XSD Http) ?
If yes, does the JRC change programmatically the XML data source (URL XML Http and URL XSD Http) prior to execute the report?
There is an example to do this?
Best regards,
A.

Hi,
I've follow the example [ftp://ftp.businessobjects.com/pub/incoming/XML_XSD_sample_reports_XI.zip]
and i've use the "JRC_Display_Connection_Info"on a xml to display all of the properties.
After i've make a program for change the datasource in the case of "xml http" database.

                         connectionInfo.setPassword(DB_PASSWORD);
                         // Update the table information
                         clientDoc.getDatabaseController().setTableLocation(origTable, newTable);
But i don't know why if i call:
System.out.println(reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(0).getConnectionInfo().getAttributes().toString());
on my
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(ReportName, 0);
after changeDataSourceXML i've one more attribute than those defined by me called PreQEServerType that take the Server_Type value.
I think that is the cause of the output error of my program on the export method
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);

Problem using JRC 2.0 on Unix with xml data source

Hello,
I am experimenting difficulties using the JRC 2.0 (which I hadn't with the previous version) on a RedHat 4 machine. It takes 7 minutes (only 20 seconds on Windows) to create a pdf (1 page) from a simple report using an xml file as data source.
It takes approximately 2 minutes when opening the report
      > reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
then 4 minutes are required to connect the report to the xml data source
      > reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(xml_ds, "", "");
Have you got any clue on possible reasons for this issue ?

I have a crystal report with an xml data source. I stored the report without data.
When I open the report using JRC and try to set a new data source an exception is thrown.

- An error occurs, the error is: Schema file does not define any table
- XmlDriverException happened in the function CRDB_XMLImpl.DbLogonServer() when logoning from Local

Thank you for any hint.

Direct reporting in Crystal Reports works fine. All data is presented and refresh also works.
The xml and the schama files are read in the first block of the read. So the complete xml and schema are
passed to the constructor of the XMLDataSet. Of course I have to change the read for production (thank you for the hint)
I wonder why the ClientReportDocument or better to say its data source and its underlying driver
(CRDB_XMLImpl.DbLogonServer()) tryes to connect to a database when there is no database at all.

XML data source - Performance problem

Environment - Crystal Reports 2008 , crjava-runtime_12.2.200 jar files, Java 1.5 and XML data source
We are generating reports from our java application. .rpt file is designed using CR 2008 .
The problem we have is its taking longer time to generate a report. Atleast its taking 5-6 minutes. XML file size is around 300 KB. .rpt file size is 2000 KB.
Steps involved in report generation in Java program.
1. Creating ReportClientDocument.
2.Opening ReportClientDocument( reportClientDocument.Open())
3. constructing XML datasource IXMLDataSet(xml_ds). ( setting XML and XSD)
4. setting the datasource to database controller. -- reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(xml_ds, "", "")
5. then exporting the report in pdf format.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please advise me to improve the performance of this function.
Thanks,
Makesh

Ted,
I figured out the cause of the problem. I am using JDeveloper as my IDE thats causing the delay. When I deployed the application and ran it, it took just 30 secs for the report using "Pushing" mechanism. Thats amazing. Thanks for your support.
I have another problem. I am not sure whether to post a separate thread for this problem. Anyway I explain the problem here. If you think it needs another thread, I will post a new one.
When I use my IDE or the following command JRC runs fine and generates the reports with graphs and all.
java -classpath C:\JDK\java1.5\bin\CERT.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14dms.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\orai18n.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\ocrs12.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\diagnostics\lib\ojdl.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\lib\dms.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\com.azalea.ufl.barcode.1.0.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-collections-3.1.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-configuration-1.2.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-lang-2.1.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-logging.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\CrystalCommon2.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\CrystalReportsRuntime.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\cvom.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\DatabaseConnectors.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\icu4j.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\jai_imageio.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\JDBInterface.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\jrcerom.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\keycodeDecoder.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\log4j.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\logging.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\pfjgraphics.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\QueryBuilder.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\webreporting-jsf.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\webreporting.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\XMLConnector.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\xpp3.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\iText-2.1.5.jar -Xms256m -Xmx512m com.cert.gui.CERTMainFrame
Note: CERT.jar has all the application classes and library classes.
But when I package all these jar files in to single jar file and run the below command, it generates reports with all the features except Graphs.
java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar CERT.jar (OR)
java -classpath C:\JDK\java1.5\bin\CERT.jar; -Xms256m -Xmx512m com.cert.gui.CERTMainFrame
Note: CERT.jar has all the application classes and library classes
I need the above command to run successfully as I am planning to use java web start for application deployment.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Makesh

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

How to Write Log Message in a XML Data Source Report

Hi Friends,
Can anyone help me out what is the process of writing a log file in the XML Data Source Report. for eg: in Plsql we use FND_LOG.PUT_LINE to print the Log message in the Concurrent Request Output. in the similar manner, when we develop a report using XML, where we write Coding in XQuery of XML, what is the process need to follow to print the logs for the XQuery.
Any inputs/Suggestion on this Highly appreciable.
Thanks in advance.

Create an RMI application (for example) that writes the log, and let all logging calls call that remote application.
Something like that is the only feasible way that doesn't require you to have a drive on the remote machine mapped to the local one (which causes its own problems as you could have multiple simultaneous write attempts...).

Logon failed when connecting to XML data source over HTTP

I am trying to create a report using the standard report creation wizard:
1) new, standard report
2) create new connection
3) xml and web services
4) xml data source
When using the sample from the SAP site, it works fine:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/downloads/samples/cr/customer_db/customer.xml
I have an HTTP source that generates XML. I have a schema that describes this XML. If I save the XML to a local file it works fine as a data source with the schema. However, when I try to access the same data via HTTP, I get the following error:
Logon failed.
Details: Cannot open file
Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8004/report.xqy?Validate%20XML=0&Use%20WS-Security%20Config%20File=&WS-Security%20File%20Location
However, if I enter that URL in a browser it works fine. And even if I disable security on the HTTP source, it produces the same error.
Does the URL for the HTTP data source have to conform to some specific pattern? For example, must the URL end in .xml?

MapViewer with XML data source

Hello all,
We have the MapViewer read data from JDBC data source doing spatial queries. Can any one tell me if I can use XML data source as input to the MapViewer.
We have a data source that is only available thru Web services, we cannot make a database view on the schema.
If not is it planned in the production version.
Thanks

How does the xml data look like? in GML?
If the xml data set is not too large, maybe you can add them (after your application has parsed them) as additional MapViewer GeoFeatures in a map request.
Currently MapViewer (preview or production release of 9.0.4) does not support xml-only datasource.
We will look into incorporating GML or other standard-based xml datasource for a future release of MapViewer.

Delta queue & XML data source

Hi All
Can any body pls tell mme as to what this delta que ais and where is it used and how is it created,and also i want to know what is this XML Data source.
I need to get the data from XI,so i need this integration.
I would be very thank ful if any body cuold suggest me with a link on the notes ar step by step formatt.
Point's will be awarded,Thanks in advance.
Kittu

Hi Jay,
From Delta queue(RSA7) ur BW system is going to fetch the records of R3 or source system.
After extraction process it reaches RSA7 from there when u triggers infopackage
the job is ready to flood ur D.target with records.
Ensure that records are there for corresponding D.source this has to be attained thro' various Update methods(v3).
DataSource that is generated in SAP BW on the basis of a file-DataSource and
that can be used to push data to SAP BW
for more info on creation of XML D.source refer the link

CollapsiblePanel with XML data source

I've been working with the CollapsiblePanel for the past two
nights. I can't make the panel collapse at runtime when I have XML
data attached.
I validated by downloading one of the Adobe Lab
CollapsiblePanel samples. I validated that I could make the sample
work from my Dreamweaver CS3 environment. Then, I added an XML data
source and retested. The panel would not collapse. Then, I took out
the XML dataset and retested the CollapsiblePanel. It worked.
Is this a design feature? I can't imagine this was designed
to work this way. I'm trying to create a scrollable div that can
collapse. I have everything working except the collapse feature.
(BTW: I tried defining a spry:region and spry:detailregion, it
didn't seem to matter.)
CODE SNIPIT
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel"
spry:region="dsWeek">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab">Standard Collapsible
Panel</div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
<p>{feature}</p>
</div>
</div>

Newbie XML data source questions

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm trying to use the XML data source via http and i'm running into a couple of issues.
First, we have separate environments for development, QA, and production. Each environment will have a seperate URL to retrieve the XML for the report. I would like to use the same report design to access each environment. Is there a way to update the URL in the data source (or replace the data source with one that has the correct URL) without having to re-add the fields to the report design?
The second issue is similar. I can't seem to get Crystal to recognize changes in the XML format (new fields for example) without having to delete and recreate the data source (which automatically removes all the associated fields from the report). Is there a way around this, or again, a way of re-creating the data source without it removing the existing fields in the report?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Where can I find help about setting the data source when connecting to a web service. Since the hostname is hardcoded in the report, it is necessary to update it in the code.

BI Admin Tool and XSLT transformation for XML data source - How it works ?

Hello,
There is a possibility to import data from XML data source using BI Admin Tool.
In the import window we can point XSLT file. What is the purpose of that XSLT field?
Why I am asking ?
I thought it is smth like XSLT processor, but simply it doesnt work.
What I did:
- I pointed XML data source file
- I pointed XSLT transformation file
- Click OK, and still get the message that the XML file structure is not supported
After that I transformed that XML file with some desktop XSLT processor using the same XSLT file, and I tried to connect that file directly using BI Admin tool.Then it works. So it means that the transformation is ok.
So basically one question comes to my mind in that situation:
What is the purpose of XSLT field in BI Admin Tool when it comes to XML data source ?
(it doesnt look like XSLT processor)
Greetings

Hi Mariano
Why you need to use XSLT for transforming XML file into ABAP table
Code is a part of some ABAP report. Looks like it is reading a file from file system and updating table after transformation
If you have requirement like you need to read XML file and then insert the data into a SAP table
You can use
File to RFC
File to Proxy scenario using SAP PI.
Please provide more inputs on requirement to help
Thanks
