XML Data Transfering Incorrectly (XDP)

We have a relatively simple workflow that transfers schema data from one form to another. Both forms are XDPs so we simply use a setValue to transfer the data (from form 1 to 2):
Location: process_data/form2/object/data
Expression: process_data/form1/object/data
We are having an issue where form 2 will not populate correctly unless run with Acrobat 9. We have investigated the issue and it seems that when the XML data is being transfered, the dataset somehow doubles. We set up variable loggers to track each of the datasets shown above and each one contains an extra set of nodes. One of those nodesets contains all of the form data and the other is just empty.
We believe the problem is that unless run in Acrobat 9, the blank set of nodes comes first. Acrobat only tries to read the first set, assuming it contains the form data, and finds none. For whatever reason, in Acrobat 9, the empty nodeset comes second so the form can render with the data.
Am I incorrect in thinking that the empty nodeset should not be there? Assuming that, I have determined that the problem either has to be how we are transfering the data from XDP to XDP or it could be related to the schema binding in form1. Some of the form1 data is bound directly from the form and some from fragments used in the form, but I can't seem to find any mistakes with the bindings.
Does anyone have any feedback or ideas on how to solve this? We are on a tight time budget so quick feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Both of those ideas produced the same thing. It is however, slightly different from what I had before. The two you provided created the set of nodes with the data in them (as usual) but instead of an empty nodeset, it created an empty top level node ( ). Acrobat still seems to look there and won't recognize the data.
Are there any other possible configurations?

Incorrect MIME type for XML Data Connection POST requests

It appears that Xcelsius 2008u2019s XML Data Connection logic does not specify the correct MIME type for the data it sends to the server in its POST request. Using an HTTP debug proxy, I was able to see that Xcelsius sends XML data in the POST, but is setting a content-type of u201Cx-www-form-urlencodedu201D. According to the W3C spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1
Data sent with a MIME type of u201Cxxu201D should be encoded as key?value pairs, like this:
key1=val1&key2=val2&Submit=Submit
So, what Xcelsius is doing is clearly incorrect. Worse, if your server process is a Java servlet, you may find that the POSTed data will be gobbled up by the servlet container and you wonu2019t be able to read it using a getInputStream(), or getReader() call because itu2019s already been processed by a call to the getParameter() method.
The correct mime type for POSTing an XML formatted request from Xcelsius should be "text/xml".

Hi,
The Error #2032 your getting is due to the Flash player security.
To remove this this error you need one crossdomain Xml file in the root directory which actually provides a lot more control over who has access to your data from a SWF. The cross domain policy is attached as crossdomain.xml.
In the XML file, it is used a wildcard (*). This allows a SWF located on any machine to access your data source. You can certainly use an IP address or domain name to restrict access rather to opening it up completely. I always start with the wildcard to make sure my dashboard works, then start restricting access as necessary.
Here is a whitepaper with everything you need to know about Flash player security:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf
Please let me know if you need any more clarification.

Sanjay

SSMS 2012:XML File Query: Importing XML data using a CTE-Incorrect syntax near 'BLOB'?

Option to load XML data into BI 70

Hi All,
I have read some postings on forums and also have read the "HOW TO load XML data in BW" guide. I am confused when I read the SAP online help documentation for loading XML data .
Question : Out of the 3 options listed below which option is best suited for loading XML data into BW . XML file is going to be provided by 3rd party company ?
Thanks and appreciate any input .
Smith .
Here is what I found for BI 70 EHP1 help :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Data is generally transferred into SAP BW by means of a data request, which is sent from SAP BW to the source system (pull from the scheduler). You can also send the data to SAP BW from outside the system. This is a data push into SAP BW.
A data push is possible for various scenarios:
●     Transferring Data Using the SOAP Service SAP Web AS
●     Transferring Data Using Web Services
●     Transferring Data Using SAP XI
In all three scenarios, data transfer takes place using transfer mechanisms that are sufficient for Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP); the data transfer is also XML-based.
The SOAP-based transfer of data is only possible for flat structures. You cannot transfer hierarchy data.

Hi,
I feel you can go with 2nd option. But still wait for some more inputs from Experts........

Suman

Using importdata to import xml data into dynamic PDF form

Hi again,
Me and my colleagues have a problem using the importData service to import some xml data into an empty PDF form (represented as an XFA input variable).
In the server log I get the error that Only XDP data is supported for XFA forms, however I only have the xml data and not the entire xdp available.
Is this really not possible to to (like importing xml data to a form is possible in the Designer when creating forms).
I hope the scenario is understandable
Sincerely

Populate PDF form with XML data

Although a seemingly simple task, this question has occupied way too much of my time the last week and I am asking the following out of sheer desperation and frustration.
I have a pdf form created with Designer 7.0. I have a separate XML data file to populate the form with. I can test using the preview in Designer and everything looks great. Now, all I want to do is deploy this pdf to a standard web server (IIS, Windows) such that any visitor to the site (using Reader) is able to open it/view it/print it, with the data there. That's it.
This was easily accomplished using Acrobat 6 by creating an ASP page that output an FDF file which referenced the PDF. Not so with the latest version.
I have downloaded three separate several hundred page documents that do not explain how to accomplish this task simply. So to summarize:
1. Does this task *require* a separate piece of software (Document Server) that was not required before?
2. If Document Server is not required, what are the steps to publish the pdf file and reference the data file?
Please help, extraordinarily frustrated :-(.

Ravinder, were you actually able to get your PDF Document (Form) to load with data? I have not been able to get my .NET page to populate my PDF document - the PDF loads in my Browser but has no data.

Working With Nested XML Data

Hello,
I'm doing my best to create a page in Dreamweaver CS4 utilizing Spry datasets and, I hope, a valid nested XML file. What I want to do is use one XML file that provides the content for my nav div and my content div. It would, in essence, display as an outline. When a user clicks on an item in the nav div the content would be displayed. What I'm guessing would work for the XML file would be this format:
<content>
<topic name="Elements">   //--this would serve as the nav element and trigger
    <header>Non-editable</header>   //--this would serve as a header in the content area
    <info>
      <detail id="1">CSS, javascript</detail>   //--this would serve as detail under the headers in the content area.
      <detail id="2">Headers</detail>
      <detail id="3">Footers</detail>
      <detail id="4">Areas within navigation panel</detail>
    </info>
</topic>
</content>
I got the idea from this page in Live Docs: Create a Spry nested data set. Also from a Labs page called Nested XML Data Sample. I've been able to make various parts of the page work but I don't know what is broken. My issues are this:
I once saw but can no longer find a method for preventing redundant display of data. In this case, the nav elements which are attributes in my XML file.
The details are showing up in my content area. I must be doing the code for the nesting incorrectly.
I want to then use the details in the content area to trigger spry tooltips, the content for whih would be genereated from an XML file or HTML frags.
Here is my latest, ill-fated attempt:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

      <li>{dsContent5::info}</li>
    </ul>
</div>
<div class="nav" spry:region="dsContent5">
    <ul spry:repeatchildren="dsContent5" spry:choose="">
      <li spry:when="{dsContent5::ds_CurrentRowID} == {dsContent5::ds_RowID}" spry:setrow="dsContent5" spry:select="select" spry:hover="hover" spry:selected="">{dsContent5::@name}</li>
      <li spry:default="" spry:setrow="dsContent5" spry:select="select" spry:hover="hover">{dsContent5::@name}</li>
    </ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thoughts? My hope is to distill this process so I can teach others how to do it in the hopes that they will find it easier to keep their department/program websites up-to-date.
Thanks for the help.

I apologize, im using Spry XML Data Set. i guess the best way to describe what im trying to do is, i want to use the Non-desctructive filter sample with the Spry Nested XML Data sample. So with my sample xml on my first post and with the same code non-destructive filter is using, im having trouble trying to search repeating nodes, for some reason it only searches the last node of the repeating nodes. Does that make sense? let me know.
thank you Arnout!

How to insert a new line character inside CDATA tag in the source xml data file?

values for form fields in the xml data file is contained inside CDATA tags which is an Unparsed Format.
Eg: [CDATA[IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665]] delimited by "~" char
Actual o/p:-
IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665
Expected o/p is like :-
IBM-01
DSHFSJDSJ
FGFGFJ,
VA 665665
live cycle product does not interpret ~ as a newline character. Please suggest which character should be used instead inside CDATA section or if there is any other way to fix this?

I do not have any problem while using IE's XML parser
for XML+XSLT merging.That is because IE's parser does not implement XML correctly.
But when I use JAXP's Transformer object, it does not
preserve the new lines inside attribute values and
converts those into white spaces.That is exactly what the XML specifications say should happen.
>
----If you have text that contains newlines, you
should put it in an element, not in
----an attribute.
That would be my last solution. But I'd really hate
to change my logic just 'coz JAXP is not capable of
handling new lines inside attribute values. I may be
wrong... but If IE can keep those then there has to
be a way to do the same from server side merging....Sure. Write your own parser with the same bug in it. But you don't have any right to demand that other people supply you with parsers that work incorrectly.

How to transfer XML-Data into a WebDynPro-Application?

An external partner has a calling interface that sends a HTTP-Redirect to a specific application-url and transfers all the data in one POST-Parameter.
The value of this POST-Paramater (CALLINTERFACE) consists the XML-Data.
<form id='InterfaceData3' method='post' action='/ProduktFrontController/Start'>
<textarea cols="80" rows="30" name='CALLINTERFACE'><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<authentifizierung version="1.0">
     XML-Data.....
</authentifizierung>
<br>
<p><input id='button1' type='submit' name='Button' value='Absenden'></p>
</form>
Standard-Java:
In our Java-Application we can read the POST-Value (XML-Data) via the HTTPServletRequest-Object/Instance.
WebDynPro-Java:
IWDProtocolAdapter protocolAdapter = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
IWDRequest request = protocolAdapter.getRequestObject();
String xmlData = request.getParameter("CALLINTERFACE");
In WebDynPro for ABAP I couldnt find a equivalent solution /technic to read the POST-Parameter-Value.
So I have to write a lot of annoying 'glue-code':-(      (HTTP-Request-Handler for reading, Shared Memory / Objects for transfer to WebDynPro ABAP),
(Remark: It's no solution to transfer XML-Data via a URL-Parameter because it is too big (> 1 KByte) and the external partner doesn't support this option!).
My questions:
1) What technics for transfering Data (not only 2 or 3 Parameter) form external web-applications into WebDynPro ABAP applications does SAP support?
2) Is it possible to reach the calling HTTP-Request from WebDynPro-ABAP? (MayBe via ABAP-Callback-Functions)
Sincerely
Steffen

Hi,
thank you for your answers:-)
In conclusion the result is:
1) There is no "direct" way to read POST-Parameter in WebDynPro ABAP
=> You have to write a wrapper in BSP or an ICF - HTTP_REQUEST_HANDLER
(A ABAP-Class that implements the Interface "IF_HTTP_EXTENSION"
     that reads the POST-Parameter-Value and transfers the value into a reachable localtion for WebDynPro-Abap.
2) For parsing the XML-Data I can use for example STRANS tcode or Simple Transformations
3) For transfering the Data between the BSP / the Request-Handler and WebDynPro for ABAP, I can use for example SharedMemory, Shared Objects.
Regards
Steffen

Trying to bind XML data and form fields

I have a fairly simple PDF - and I am trying to bind XML data to he form fields.
In the designer I can bring up the data connection and
select Global - for the binding method - and as I understand it - this will link Form Fields and XML data fields with the same name - (sounds logical to me)
but all that happens is :
I see the name of the field in the form field rahter than seeing the actual data
should I select : None as the binding or normal ....
but Normal doesnt show Anything - even after i select it .
I can't quite seem to make this work -
Any help here would be appreciated
Thanks :)

This is on a stand - alone system
Using Designer ES ......
I saved the Form as an xdp form
and it seems as if all goes well until
View the data and nothing appears - or
just the names of the fields appear

ActionScript to bind XML data to components

How can I use ActionScript to bind XML data to a comboBox
component instead of using the component inspector? (I have done
the latter, successfully, but that doesn’t allow access to
the code - .)
My ActionScript so far imports the data (the trace picks it
up) – but the ‘cbType.dataProvider line’
doesn’t work. It works when I change the data provider to an
array – so what am I doing wrong?
MY CODE:
import mx.data.components.XMLConnector;
var xcFestival:XMLConnector = new XMLConnector();
xcFestival.ignoreWhite = true;
xcFestival.direction = "receive";
xcFestival.URL = "festivalItems.xml";
xcFestival.trigger();
//POPULATE THE COMPONENTS WITH THE DATA
var festXMLlistener:Object = new Object();
festXMLlistener.result = function(evt:Object) {
trace(xcFestival.results);
cbType.dataProvider = xcFestival.results;
xcFestival.addEventListener("result",festXMLlistener);

This is on a stand - alone system

and it seems as if all goes well until

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.

XML data 32K into CLOB

Hi all,
I am trying to use UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE to output an XML file. This xml file is the result of a select query. Hence converting the result of the select query into xml format using dbms_xmlgen.getxml and storing it in a variable. But the resultant xml data > 32k . What would be the best way to store it in variable? When using CLOB datatype, getting a numeric value error.
Thanks in advance.

As you didn't post the code, nor included a four digit database version, you are asking someone to look in a crystal ball.
Sorry, they are out for repair.
Also the XDB forum would be more appropriate.

Issue in Data transfers using ALE for E-Recruiting standalone system

Dear Experts,
We have an issue in data transfers using ALE. We are having standalone system where E-Recruiting is maintaind seperately and the version is EHP5.
When we configured iDoc in Sandbox and its working fine. But when it comes to Dev and Quality servers this is not working fine.
we have created iDocs using the following filters.
For Object P: Infotypes 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0006, 0024, 0105.
For Objects O,S: 1032, Subtype: 0010
For Object: 1001, Subtype: A003, A008, A012, B007
For Object O: 1001, Subtype: A002, B002, B003, B012, Tyoe of related object: O,S
For Objects: C, O, S, Subtype: 1000, 1002, 1028
For Object:C, Subtype: 1001, Subtype: A007
When we do the data transfers in Sandbox using PFAL it is transferring the data properly.
But when we do the same iin Dev and Quality servers we are not able to do it and gettign 52, 51 errors.
Here we are facing a strange issue. For some Users when we transfer data it is transferring data but with 52 error messgae.
For some users I am getting 51 error where i could not transfer any data.
For some users, when we tranfer O, S, and P related data is moving but getting mostly 52 error and all the relationships are not moving here for O,S and properly. But P related CP, BP and NA are getting created successfully.
It is happening only in Dev and Quality server and that too some users are able to get transferred but not all.
Where will be the issue? How can we resolve this?
Any help will be appreciable.
Thank you in advance.
