Why we need to conver Context Node data into XML file----Export to Excel

Hi All,
Let me clarify my dought........today i have gone through the concept of "Exporting Context Data Using the Webdynpro Binary cache" in SAP Online Help.
From the SAP Online Help pdf document, i have found that, the context node data has been converted first in to XML file,after that file had been stored in the web dynpor binary cache...bla....bla.........
Here my qtn is why they had converted context node data into XML file. With out doing that can not we export context node data to excel file..?

Hi Sesshanna,
it is not neccessary to do that but xml has the advantage, that it can be easily transformed into every output format that might occur in later project stages.
If it's simply about blowing out some Excel, I suggest using an OSS library such as jexcelAPI or Jakarta POI and building the Excel how you need it.

You can do it like this :
begin
for r in (
      select empno
           , xmlserialize(content xmlforest(empno as "ID", ename, sal)) as xmlcontent
      from scott.emp
loop
    dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file(r.xmlcontent, 'TEST_DIR', to_char(r.empno) || '.xml');
end loop;
end;

Outbound oracle data into xml file

Hi Odie,
Your previous inputs for xml inbound was working fine, in the similar way now I need outbound the oracle apps data into .xml file format. For that I've written one sample script like this. I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.
declare
l_log_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_log_name varchar2(50);
l_path_2 varchar2(40);
l_global_file varchar2(50);
l_time number:=1;
cursor cur1 is
select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual;
--select menu_id from fnd_menus where rownum<100;
begin
BEGIN
SELECT DECODE (INSTR (VALUE, ','),
0, VALUE,
SUBSTR (VALUE, 1, (INSTR (VALUE, ',', 1)) - 1)
INTO l_path_2
FROM v$parameter
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Error while getting Unix Path ' || SQLERRM);
END;
l_log_name := 'XGBIZ_'||TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYMMDD')||l_time;
l_log_name := CONCAT(l_log_name,'.xml');
l_global_file := l_log_name;
l_log_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(l_path_2,l_log_name,'W');
for cur2 in cur1 loop
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(l_log_handle, cur2);
end loop;
utl_file.fclose_all;
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Operation For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Path For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Mode For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid File Handle '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Write Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Read Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Internal Error');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Other Error '||'SQL CODE: '||SQLCODE||' Messg: '||SQLERRM);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
end;
when running this script I am getting error
ERROR at line 30:
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PUT_LINE'
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
if in the cursor declaration happen to use 'select menu_id from fnd_menus ' a plain record then it is successfully creating.
If tried again revert to actual select statement ' select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual'
then its erring out as above said.
Please give me your valuable inputs in this regard.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are multiple ways to generate XML documents from relational data.
Here are some :
-- SQL/XML functions : XMLElement, XMLAgg, XMLAttributes etc.
-- DBMS_XMLGEN package
select dbms_xmlgen.getXML('SELECT * FROM scott.emp')
from dual;-- XMLType constructor over a REF CURSOR (the one you chose)
select xmlserialize(document
         xmltype(
           cursor(
             select *
             from scott.emp
         as clob
from dual;-- From a DBUriType
select xmlserialize(document
         dburitype('/SCOTT/EMP').getXML()
         as clob
from dual;-- From XQuery using ora:view function
select xmlserialize(document
         xmlquery('<ROWSET>{ora:view("SCOTT","EMP")}</ROWSET>' returning content)
         as clob indent size = 1
from dual;If a column is NULL in the result set, those methods (except XMLElement) won't create the corresponding element.
There's an option available for the XQuery method, but only in version 11.2.
So if you want to output empty elements, you'll have to use DBMS_XMLGEN with setNullHandling method :
DECLARE
ctx   DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
v_out CLOB;
rc    SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN rc FOR
SELECT *
FROM scott.emp
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(rc);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setNullHandling(ctx, DBMS_XMLGEN.EMPTY_TAG);
v_out := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
DBMS_XMLGEN.closeContext(ctx);
CLOSE rc;
DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file(v_out, 'TEST_DIR', 'test_out.xml');
END;
I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.You could, but you might find DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file procedure more convenient for that (see above).
All you have to do is serializing the XML in a CLOB variable, and call the procedure.
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';The "utl_file_dir" init. parameter is deprecated since 10g, use directory objects instead.

Extracting Data into XML file

Hi all,
I am extracting data from one table into an XML file using a procedure.
This procedure is executing fine.
But one problem is that, once the file size get 34KB, no more data is writing into that file.
No exceptions also. I can see the partial data in that XML file.
Please share your inputs.
Thanks
Rajeev.

Help needed in removing the duplicate nodes in an xml file

Hi Friends,
I need some help in removing the duplicates from a xml file using the Excel Spreadsheet. The xml Im using does not have any schema.
Can some one please let me know the steps.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I got the answer.
Go to the developers Tab and click on export.
Select the column where we want to delete the duplicates and click on Remove Duplicates from Data Tab.
OR go to Home Tab> Conditional Formatting> High light Cell Rules> Duplicate Values. It will highlight all the duplicate values and then remove them manually.
Thanks.

Problem converting data in XML file to internal table data

Hi all,
I have a requirement. I need to convert an XML file to internal table data and based on that data do Goods Receipt in SAP.
With the help of this blog /people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I am able to convert the XML file to data in SAP. But this blog will display the output on screen as ELELEMNT = nodename VALUE= value of that node.
But I donu2019t want in that way, I want to store all the data in XML file in an internal table so that I can make use of those values and do Goods Recipt in SAP.
Can some one suggest how should I read the data in an internal table.

Pavel Vera,
With your example i tries doing the following .....
I tried to convert the data of XML file to internal table data. I am collecting the data in internal table to do goos recipt with that data.
Please find my XML file, ABAP pgm and XSLT pgm . I donu2019t know what I am missing I am not getting any output. I donu2019t know what is wrong please help me with this
Below is my XML file, My code and XSLT Program. In the below XML file I need to collect Vendor Number, Order Number, and Date tags which occur only once for one XML file.
I also need to collect the following tags from <Shipmentdetail>
<Shipmentdetail> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
TrackingNumber
Freight
Weight
ShipmentDate
ShipmentMethod
Need to collect to collect the following tags from <ProductInformation>
<ProductInformation> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
    LineNumber
    SKUNumber
    OrderedQuantity
    ShippedQuantity
    UOM
The <Shipmentdetail> and <ProductInformation> are child nodes of <OrderShipment>
The <Shipmentdetail> occurs only ones but the <ProductInformation> can occur once or many times and will be dynamic and differs depening on the input file.

Comparing nodes in two xml files

I need help with a flex app i am making. My skill level in flex is pretty much basic, so some of the questions may seem easy but they r not to me
I need an application that will load two external xml files and compare nodes. The xml files are pretty much identical except for the values ofcourse. After that i need to write this data to a new xml file which my flex app will generate. Can anyone plz give me an example code which i can later modify for my own application. You can give me any type of an example with the simplest xml files.
Thank you in advance

"for in" and "for each in" statements can be used to iterate through the nodes. If the two xml files are of same structure , you can easily compare the node attributes. Here is the link to the livedocs page for looping through xml nodes

How can i query oracle database data to xml file with c++?

I want query data to xml file directly in my c++ application .
I know the oracle XSU provide interferce for query data to xml
file directly.
But XSU for oracle8i does not support c++.
I do not know if XSU for oracle9i support c++.
can you tell me?
If i do not use XSU to finish my applicayion.
what interface that oracle provide can help me do my work?
thank you !

BTW why do you want to migrate oracle database data to db2 database? Any specific project requirement like Parallel run with Oracle database (e.g data replication)? Or any other issues - Cost? Manageability? Availability? Business requirements?
Do you need to do a day-to-day data transfer or it is for permanent migration?

Pls Help me with steps to add data from xml file to SAP B1 through B1iSN.

Pls Help me with steps to add data from xml file to SAP B1 through B1iSN. I am getting stuck in xsl transformation. not able to understand where the mapping code needs to be added.

Any one can you help regarding this

This may not be an option for you but in pinch you may want to consider outputing your data to an MS Spreadsheet, then saving it as a CSV. It's somewhat of a cumbersome process, but it will get you by for now.
You will need to change your content type to application/vnd.ms-excel.
<% response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); %>

To Get the value of a node in a XML file which is outside the envelope

Hi Everyone,
I am uploading data in a XML file into Oracle tables. I am using oracle 9i release 2. How to get a value of a node outside the envelope.
Here is my xml file.
<Response>
<TaskNo>14</TaskNor>
<ZoneResponse>
<GetServiceStatusResponse xmlns="http://mws.zonemws.com/Shipment/2010-10-01/">
<GetServiceStatusResult>
<Status>GREEN</Status>
<Date>2011-06-03</Date>
</GetServiceStatusResult>
<Metadata>
<Id>c9488a06</Id>
</Metadata>
</GetServiceStatusResponse>
</ZoneResponse>
</Response>
This is the response xml we are getting from the supplier. I do want to store all the values in an oracle table, including TaskNo(14). TaskNo is the main value
here. I am using dbms_xmlparser and dbms_xmldom in PL/SQL. I am able to get the values inside the envelope, but not the outside(taskno). It is not showing any errors. It is processing all
other values. I Posted this in the XML DB section also. Please help me to solve this issue. Any help,tips and suggesstion will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

all I want is to populate the data from xml file to the particulare table. I can do that with the above procedure.
But In this below mentioned part of my procedure , I want to pass the file name instead of giving the entire content.
select
extractvalue(column_value,'/Response/TaskNumber') into l_task_number
from
table(xmlsequence(xmltype('<Response>
<TaskNumber>14</TaskNumber>

BCP data into a file using Runtime class

Hi,
     I have a problem in using the Runtime class.
I am trying to bcp a table's data into a file.I am working on a Unix environment.
My bcp is not getting completed fully.The total records to be bcped is 1 million,but only one lakh records is getting bcped and then it hangs up..But if i issue the bcp command from my telnet session it is bcping it to the file without any problem.Can anyone help me out on how to overcome this..
Is there anything specific with Runtime class..I am pasting the code that i tried out below.
String l_s_bcpQuery="bcp mubstage.dbo.HousingUnitSampleMarket out /dun/d3nmb0/mariaps/subracheckprototype -c -t~ -Umariaps -Prykwz5ba -SD3NMB_MUB";
try{
Runtime time=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p=time.exec(l_s_bcpQuery);
p.waitFor();
System.out.println("The exit value is:"+p.exitValue());
}catch(Exception ioe){
     ioe.printStackTrace();
     System.out.println("IOException"+ioe.getMessage());

you might need to capture the stout & sterr from the process. see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/Process.html, or many other similar questions on this forum.
try this:
try{
Runtime time=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p=time.exec(l_s_bcpQuery);
BufferedReader stout = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader sterr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
String out = stout.readLine();
String err = sterr.readLine();
while((out != null)||(err != null))
if(out != null)
System.out.println(out);
if(err != null)
System.err.println(err);
out = stout.readLine();
err = sterr.readLine();
int exit_value = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("The exit value is:"+ exit_value);
}catch(Exception ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("IOException"+ioe.getMessage());
}
