XML file from PL/SQL Executable Program

Hi all,
I have to solve this issue. I registered a concurrent program based on a PL/SQL Stored Procedure which extracts data in CSV format. The output is ok and ready to be imported in an excel worksheet and this is ok.
But, I wanted to create also an rtf template to associate to this concurrent, so the output is in more readable PDF format with table and clear formatting.
The problem is the publisher doesn't recognize the CSV datas and doesn't create the pdf. Is there any PL/SQL command to translate CSV to XML output? Thanks, Michele

Michele, I have a suggestion for you. It's not the exact solution you're looking for, but it may work for you.
I use Oracle Reports to create both XML data and CSV data. The output is a single formula field within the lowest level group that displays all of the data, delimited field by field. I define two concurrent programs based on this executable -- one with output format XML and one with output format Text. That way I can associate templates with the first program, and can use the second program to produce my CSV file which is ready for import to Excel.
You can either convert your PL/SQL stored procedure to Oracle Reports, or use a temporary table to store the data that the procedure is displaying, then call the procedure in an Oracle Reports trigger and select the data in the Data Model.
HTH.

You are interested in XMLElement and probably XMLAgg. Since you didn't list a version, I can't provide links to the corresponding documentation. I cringe at all the attributes on the Patient element as that info should really be elements.
To create the Measure node, your overall SQL statement may look something like (not tested)
SELECT XMLElement....
          XMLAgg(SELECT XMLElement
                   FROM measures_table
                  WHERE join condition to parent)

How to generate XML file from SQL file !

I am new to XML publisher. I known one way to generate XML file is register one report file in concurrent manager.
But I want to generate XML file from sql file.
Could someone show me how to code in sql file, how to register is in concurrent manager.
Thanks !

Hi
Phew ... not sure we have the space here. So I can point you in the right direction:
1. XML data generation - there are two packages in the db you can use with a plsql procedure, XMLGEN and SQL XML. You can also use java APIs too. Try checking the db documentation and search for the above methods.
2. Registering the report - the system administrators guide will provide this info. Hooking the program up with XMLP is covered here - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/publishing/resource/CM%20Whitepaper5.0.pdf

How to read a XML file from BLOB column and insert in a table - PL/SQL Only

Hi,
To make data load more simple to end user instead placing file on the server and use SQL-LOADER, I came up with new idea that using oracle ebusiness suite attachment functionality. that loads a XML file from local PC to a database column(table is fnd_attachments, default data type is BLOB over here).
I tried with DBMS_LOB and didnt get around.
Please can anyone tell me how to read the BLOB column using PL/SQL and store the data in a oracle table. Here's the sample XML file and table structure FYI.

You can use bcp with query out option
use your above query as the source query and use queryout option after specifying destination as your required local file path (specify extension as .xml)

Receive XML file from CIDX adapter and Post to SAP as IDoc using XI

I have scenario where we will receive the xml file from CIDX adapter. I need to take the xml from CIDX, do the Database Lookup and post it to SAP as IDoc.
Any technical documentaion or step-by-step process documents can be very helpfull to me, since I am new to XI
Thanks
SP

Lookup in XI is used to call the target data storage system and get data from there to your mapping programme.
In XI you can do Lookup in Message Mapping, Java Mapping and in XSLT Mapping. Previously Lookup in XI was system dependent. But now what ever the system are i.e. SAP system or non-sap system(Oracle,MS SQL etc) lookup API are same.
Overview of Lookup
- Lookups are used to identify/request the data from mapping program.
- It interrupt the process and looking for data which was stored in target system.
- It get that data and comeback to process and continue with that data.
Types of Lookups in XI
- JDBC Lookup: JDBC lookup is used for accessing data from database (non SAP).
- RFC Lookup: RFC lookup is used for accessing the SAP Data.
- SOAP Lookup: SOAP lookup is used for accessing data from Webservice
Steps to perform Lookup in Mapping
Import package com.sap.aii.mapping.lookup.*;
Create connection to the target Database system.
// Determine communication channel created in ID
Channel channel = null;
channel = LookupService.getChannel("DB-SYSTEM-NAME","DB-CHANNEL-NAME");
// Get system accessor for the channel.
DataBaseAccessor accessor = null;
accessor = LookupService.getDataBaseAccessor(channel);
Build the Query String.
Getting Result
// Execute Query and get the values.
DataBaseResult resultSet = null;
resultSet = accessor.execute(Query);

Uploading an XML file from SAP into third party URL

Hi,
I need to Upload an XML file from sap into Third party URL. Can any body tell me the possible ways in SAP to achieve this task. Also explain me the proceedure.
Thanks in advance.
-Namdev

Sorry. If they only said HTTP/HTTPS and didn't say explicitly web service, it means they don't want it.
One thing I'm not sure is, do you have an URL at the third-party system that you need to contact, or should you provide one at your SAP system that they will contact?
If it is the first one, to send an HTTP request to a given URL using ABAP, you'll find an example here: [SAP Library: Example Program: Executing an HTTP Request|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1f/93163f9959a808e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
