ABAP XSL mapping - Binary data of attached file

I have a webservice which is converting attachment and putting it into XSLT Node. when I mapped this node to Attachment payload of my partner (using ABAP xsl mapping), I got an error.
I was able to send the same file via SOAP UI...
On further investigation of the http log files, I noticed that Binary data for both streams looked same, but when I did a word count, I noticed that SOAP UI was a single line file while my PI data was more than 400 lines.. so I coded a fn:transfer of this data to convert end of line character to empty value. it did seem to work...
My question, is this approach correct? or is there any way to ensure binary data stream in XML node does not contain those additional characters?

can you provide input xml

** How to use TO_DATE function in Stored Proc. for JDBC in ABAP-XSL mapping

Hi friends,
I use ABAP-XSL mapping to insert records in Oracle table. My Sender is File and receiver is JDBC. We use Oracle 10g database. All fields in table are VARCHAR2 except one field; this is having type 'DATE'.
I use Stored procedure to update the records in table. I have converted my string into date using the Oracle TO_DATE function. But, when I use this format, it throws an error in the Receiver CC. (But, the message is processed successfully in SXMB_MONI).
The input format I formed like below:
<X_EMP_START_DT hasQuot="No" isInput="1" type="DATE">
Value in Payload is like below.
<X_EMP_START_DT hasQuot="No" isInput="1" type="DATE">TO_DATE('18-11-1991','DD-MM-YYYY')</X_EMP_START_DT>
Error in CC comes as below:
Error processing request in sax parser: Error when executing statement for table/stored proc. 'SP_EMP_DETAILS' (structure 'STATEMENT'): java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "TO_DATE('18"
Friends, I have tried, but unable to find the correct solution to insert.
Kindly help me to solve this issue.
Kind Regards,
Jegathees P.
(But, the same is working fine if we use direct method in ABAP-XSL ie. not thru Stored Procedure)

Hi Sinha,
Thanks for your reply.
I used the syntax
<xsl:call-template name="date:format-date">
<xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="string" />
<xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="string" />
</xsl:call-template>
in my Abap XSL. But, its not working correctly. The problem is 'href' function to import "date.xsl" in my XSLT is not able to do that. The system throws an error. Moreover, it is not able to write the command 'extension-element-prefixes' in my <xsl:stylesheet namespace>
May be I am not able to understand how to use this.
Anyway, I solved this problem by handling date conversion inside Oracle Stored Procedure. Now, its working fine.
Thank you.

Writing binary data to a file without carriage returns every 512 bytes

Is there a VI for writing binary data to a file without carriage returns being inserted every 512 bytes?
Thanks

Hi Momolxg,
I could be way off on this. I tried to simulate what you've done by
making a for loop that would run a set number of times. For my example I
used 1025. I wired the iteration terminal to a 'Write to SGL File.vi'
outside the loop with indexing enabled. It wrote the SGL data from 0 to
1024 to the file. I then read the file with a 'Read Characters from
File.vi' and searched the output for a carriage return (0D hex). It was
found five times. The reason why was the SGL number it was reading had a
13 (0D hex) in it. Perhaps you're running into a similar problem?
I tried it again, this time using the 'Write to I16 File.vi'. The
carriage return was found five times: the 28th character the first time
then on the 512th character four consecutive time
s after that. I suppose
that makes sense that you'd find a 0D in the numbers at equal spacings if
they're incrementing this way... In this case the carriage returns you're
seeing are actually numbers from your data.
One big difference is that I'm using a set pattern of numbers. This
doesn't appear to be your case. Is there a better way we can duplicate
your problem? It sounds interesting. Again my simulation could be way
off. (I'm also running this on LV60 for Linux so my results could be
different)

How to append binary data to existing file in OSB

Hi,
I have an OSB project that I need for it to append binary data via ftp. Here's my current flow:
MFL binary output --> Replace $body with mfl binary output --> Publish to action (Business service that's configured to ftp binary data).
However, when the data is ftp'ed the following error is thrown:

From what I understand the error code 553 represents a bad file name. The file name that I'm supplying is 11802_insert_oh_xfrmr.eai_data but it appears that the name is changed to 11802_insert_oh_xfrmr.eai_data.a . So I did the obvious and changed the file several different ways (without the .eai_data extension, removed the numbers from the file name) but still no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Yusuf

Thanks Eric.
I'm using the JCA FTP adapter instead and noticed it's appending the test generated data supplied by the OSB test console.
However, how can I ensure that the MFL output that I need to append will be placed on a new line?
Also, how should I map/assign the MFL binary output to the opaqueElement type base64Binary defined in the WSDL file below?
Once again here's a sample payload that I need to ensure will be presented on a new line:

Map binary data (PDF) to XML not possible due to non-printable chars

Hi XI Gurus,
we have the following issue.
We send a PDF as binary data (as a hex string '25255044462D3' ) along with some other information from ERP within one RFC to XI , doing a message split 1:n for those two kind of messages (1. the PDF, 2. the XML) an send the split messages to file/ftp receiver adapter.
The message split and sending of the messages is working well, but we encounter some problems with non-printable chars (hex code below 0x20) in the pdf binary. The PDF data and the dynamic file name is mapped into an XML. But the non printable characters are converted into '#' when mapped into the XML target field.
(Due to the 1:n multi mapping, we cannot put the filename into dynamic configuration, so we have to map the pdf and the filename into an XML and extract the content with variable substitution in receiver file adapter....)
My question is: how can binary data with non-printable chars be sent through XI and can be mapped into an XML without beeing replaced by '#' ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Holger

Maybe I didn´t explained it clearly enough.
We do not have the issue that the RFC puts the '#' into the string. We got from the RFC a hex string containing the pdf as visible hex values like:
As you can see we have the pdf as hex string. During message mapping XI replaces some non-printable chars like '0x04' or '0x19' with '#'.
My question is: how can we avoid those char replacement ?
BTW: I grabbed a pdf with sender file adapter, routed through XI without any mapping and send it with ftp in binary mode. But the pdf contains more chars as the origional file and the pdf content is not visible when opening with a pdf reader like Acrobat. I guess the file adpter has problems with carriage return and linefeed chars. Some CR and LF are replaced inserted somehow.
Best regards,
Holger

Storing binary data to a file......

Hi Friends,
I am trying to make a webapp in which users can upload Videos and I can store that videos on the server. I have this bit of code:
    public ActionForward execute(
            ActionMapping mapping,
            ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception{
                    VideoUploadForm myForm = (VideoUploadForm)form;
                    // Process the FormFile
                    FormFile myFile = myForm.getTheFile();
                    byte[] fileData    = myFile.getFileData();
}My question is, should i store the byte array into some text file???Then how can i read it back and get the original format i.e *.avi or *.mpg.
This might be easy,but this is my first time dealing with binary data,so your help would be appreciated.
Thanks
P.S: Any links would be appreciated

Sending binary data as attachment

Is that possible to send binary ( which is actually fragment of a large file i.e. 100MB ) data as attachment to SOAP message ?
The complete scenario is below.
* I have to send a large file around 100MB, to server as a fragment as attachment of SOAP message.
* It is received at the server and sent as such to another server ( I dont want the user to send data directly to this "another" server, call it as main server ).
* main server will update the fragment into a stream which remains unclosed until last fragment received.
* after receiving SOAP message ( which contains the fragment ), main server will repond 'OK' to sub server.
* If the sub server receives OK, then it will send the next fragment until EOF.
May be at main server I may need to check whether the file is properly received using some checksum logic.
I hope I am making sense. I am thinking of using Axis2 ( I am totally newbie to web services). Could someone point me if I miss something ?

thanks

How to extract binary data from a File?

Hello there!
Hope I'm right here.
I have a slight problem with a file containing text- and binary-data. At the beginning of the file is only some text followed by some html-code and at the end is some binary stuff like a pdf oder an image (jpg/gif).
My problem is now how to split these parts and save them in the suitable format. The text and the html are no problem, but I don't know how to extract the binary data. I tried it out with an Inputstream, but I don't know how to find the exact position where the binary data begins.
Anyone have an idea how I can solve this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

I don't believe a bullet-proof solution exists.
If you know where the HTML ends, you may skip whitespace and then assume the rest is binary data. Or, if you know the first bytes of the binary data, you may locate those. With either of these solutions, though, you risk coming across a file where it doesn't work as expected, for example if the first byte of the binary data happens to match a whitespace character.

Sample code converting binary data to image file

Hi experts ,
I need sample code to convert binary data (bytes) in to an image file.
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Naresh

You need to show binary and decimal? Or now just decimal?
If binary and decimal, you can right click on your indicator and choose "Display Format...". If you select the Advanced Editing Mode, you can make soft interesting display formats. This includes showing the same value in mulitple ways in the indicator. Try something like "%032b - %d" for the format string.

How to write binary data to browser - File Save dialog

Hi,
problem:
i have a working webservice and i get binary data from that webservice.
my dynpro java already works and i have byte[] b which has my binary result.
what i want:
when the user clicks on the button, the action onActionGetResult() is executed and inside this method, the byteArray b exists. what can i do, to say the dynpro application that it should send the binary data direct to the browser, so that the "File Save Dialog" appears and the user can save the file to the harddisk
any ideas?

I've found the solution:
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(
res.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.ALLOW_SAVE.ordinal()),
res.getResourceName());
window.show();
this worked for me

XSL-Maps: "Elements to Ignore Config File" broken

Hi,
We use Jdev Studio Edition 10.1.3.3.0 build 4157 in a SOA project.
The JDev XSL mapper displays only simply xslt structures.
Often, the xsl map generation fails after manually editing the code.
This applies to 100% valid xsl, sometimes restarting JDev helps.
According to:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11036_01/doc.1013/e10295/xslt_mpr.htm#CFAIBFFJ ,
elements can be ignored to have JDev display a partial xsl map.
However, that does not work as described in the documentation.
Elements within <elements-to-ignore> still cause map generation to fail!
How can we get JDev to ignore code parts it cannot display?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. When I created extensions.xml (as advised by you) and tried specifying it as User Defined Extension Functions Config file, I get the following error:
Invalid User Extension Functions Config File
Invalid value 'object' for attribute:'as' line 5 column 52
i.e. the following line:
<function name="extensions:getMSPDate" as="object">
Any pointers on what will be the correct value for attribute 'as' for element 'function'?
Also, what is the default namespace being used in the extensions.xml?
Is there a link for more documentation on the format for extensions.xml?

Write RAW buffer (binary data) to OS file

Hi there,
It is easy to insert BLOB data into a BLOB-column of a table from a BFILE. But how can a do the other way around? That means:
Read the BLOB (maybe into a variable 'buffer RAW(...)') and write it into a binary file? As I know, the UTL_FILE package only supports ascii files.
The following demo example works to display the raw-data on the screen:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE displayLOB_proc IS
Lob_loc BLOB;
Buffer RAW(255);
Amount BINARY_INTEGER := 255;
Position INTEGER := 1;
BEGIN
/* Select the LOB: */
SELECT Photo INTO Lob_loc
FROM testblob WHERE id = 1;
/* Opening the LOB is optional: */
DBMS_LOB.OPEN (Lob_loc, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ (Lob_loc, Amount, Position, Buffer);
/* Display the buffer contents: */
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(Buffer));
Position := Position + Amount;
END LOOP;
/* Closing the LOB is mandatory if you have opened it: */
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE (Lob_loc);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('End of data');
END;
What should be inserted instead of DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(...).
Please help

UTL_FILE (not DBMS_UTIL), and 9.2 = Oracle9i Database Release 2. So, no. You will need to implement an external procedure via c or java to get you home with 8i. Search this forum (as best as you can) for the multitudes of such solutions.
