Add "ns1:" to an xml tag in a PLSQL

Hi Friends,
in the below xml
i use DomNode approach to create the core XML
and use the below query
SELECT XMLSERIALIZE ( DOCUMENT xmlroot
                              (XMLELEMENT (
                               "ns1:DeriveCoverageRequest",
                               xmlattributes (
                                  'urn:xyz:ccw:config:common:data' AS "xmlns",
                                  'urn:xyz:ccw:config:msa:data' AS "xmlns:ns1"),
                               l_xmltype)
                               ,version '1.0" encoding="UTF-8' ,STANDALONE YES
                               AS CLOB)
                               into l_value
and the XML look like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns1:DeriveCoverageRequest xmlns="urn:xyz:ccw:config:common:data" xmlns:ns1="urn:xyz:ccw:config:msa:data">
<majorLine> --
    <lineId>47285</lineId>
    <itemName>xyz15454</itemName>
    <quantity>5</quantity>
    <minorLine>
      <lineId>47293</lineId>
      <itemName>15454-CC-FTA</itemName>
      <quantity>5</quantity>
      <itemPath>xyz15454:15454-</itemPath>
    </minorLine>
</majorLine>
</ns1:DeriveCoverageRequest>
from dual;
now i need to add ns1: with the majorLine tag so it should be like
<ns1:majorLine>
</ns1:majorLine>
Code for creating this majorLine is
l_major_line_node :=
      DBMS_XMLDOM.
       appendChild (
         l_root_node,
         DBMS_XMLDOM.
          makeNode (DBMS_XMLDOM.createElement (l_domdoc, 'majorLine')));
and i modified like
l_major_line_node :=
      DBMS_XMLDOM.
       appendChild (
         l_root_node,
         DBMS_XMLDOM.
          makeNode (DBMS_XMLDOM.createElement (l_domdoc, 'ns1:majorLine')));
but it did not work. could you please suggest some idea on this

Hi Odie,
Actually 95% we are good , but one issue
In the out put XML am getting like
<ns1:majorLine xmlns:ns1="urn:xyz:ccw:config:msa:data">
but the required is
<ns1:majorLine> only ,
how to remove the extra info ? I tried like commenting the
dbms_xmldom.setattribute(l_major_line_elem, 'xmlns:ns1', 'urn:xyz:ccw:config:msa:data');
but got some error and tried like putting empty quotes in the place of third parameter
and
one more final thing is
i need to add line id as
<ns1:majorLine lineID = "1234">
You helped almost everything, am very grateful to you . Only one more Please..

How can I add text to a field based on XML tagging?

I'm fairly new to using XML in InDesign layouts, and I'm currently facing an issue getting a bunch of content from database records formatted in a print document (text that flows over dozens of pages). I've figured out how to create an InDesign template, but I need to be able to add text between some of the XML elements in two different scenarios:
1. Add text or line breaks before or after an XML element that always appears in the document. For example: Adding "Description:" before the XML-tagged description content, or adding a return after the last element in a list.
2. Add text before or after an XML element only if it appears in the document. For example: If there's a second phone number, tagged "Phone2" in the XML, then I want " or " to appear before it in the layout. Otherwise there's just one phone number and it continues on to the next piece of content.
I have tried inserting this text into the InDesign template, but keeping them means having to also keep parts of the template that aren't used on every import--so I have a bunch of "or Phone2" bits of text to find and replace afterward. That's OK, but I'd like a more elegant solution that doesn't leave potential mistakes in my layout.
In my preliminary research so far, it looks like an XSLT or scripting might be able to handle this, but I don't know where to start. Can someone tell me if what I'm looking for is possible and suggest the best way to do it? I'm going to have to trial-and-error a solution for this myself.
I am using ID CS6 on a Mac. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your reply. The line that you mention is added at the top of the message, and includes the original sender's email. I would like my name to appear, next to each line I add in the text of the original mail.
For example:
Assuming my name is Joe Smith, what I would like to have as the final reply is described below.
The lines that start with "[Joe Smith]" are my replies, to the original items in the original mail.

Add XML Tag to XML File (Idoc to XML File)

Hi there.
Just a question regarding the addition of a tag header in an XML file please?
Idoc - > XI -> file (XML File)
We have a need to add something like this below in bold to XML Tag Header in the inbound file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?POSTEN SND="SE03220037090" SNDKVAL="1" REC="SE03220669500"
MSGTYPE="ORDERS"?>
Any ideas on how this can be managed would be apreciated please?
Thank you.
Mick.

Hi Carlos.
Thanks for your reply. I like what you are suggesting, however, I have no knowledge of Java and how to implement this Java addition to the mapping interface.
I would appreciate any hints you may have. The value that I am trying to add to the tag header is exactly as it is below(the value in bold) and it can in fact be fixed, i.e. I am not looking to dynamically determine the values in the additional tag but just add the value as it is below...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?POSTEN SND="SE03220037090" SNDKVAL="1" REC="SE03220669500"
MSGTYPE="ORDERS"?>
I would appreciate any input from you on that.
Thanks in advance Carlos.

Need to add xml tag in the request message

Hello Experts,
Need ur help.
Right now i am working on the scenario Http -> to -> Proxy.
Whatever request i am getting is not having XML tag in it, and because of that my mapping is failing.
Can you tell me that how can i add XML tag in my request so it will not fail in Mapping?
Need to add : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in request.
Thanks,
Hetal

HI Hetal
Instead of adding this to the source message. Remove this tag from mapping.
Use a XSLT mapping without this initial tag. it will work.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:m="http://namespace">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//tag">
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Use this mapping without
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
If you still see XML tag then use
<xsl:output method="html"
instead of
<xsl:output method="xml"
Thanks

Edit JS Script CS4 (Add XML Tags All pages automatically)

Hi, all Scripter
I have a javascript for add xml tags (ETMV2 Pearson, InDesign CS4). We have select my powermath equation data then run script. Script automatically insert xml tags both side (open/close). But we select one by one then run script its time taking.
var d=app.activeDocument,
root=d.xmlElements[0],
ie = root.xmlElements.add("inlineequation", app.selection[0]),
im = root.xmlElements.add("inlinemediaobject", ie.texts[0]),
to = root.xmlElements.add("textobject", im.texts[0]);
to.xmlAttributes.add("role", "xpressmath");
Example 1: My powermath equation data (InDesign CS4)
[&x^{2}+y *frac*{1}{2x}&]
Select powermath equation data then run javascript below mention. Script insert xml tags.
<inlineequation><inlinemediaobject><textobject>[&x^{2}+y *frac*{1}{2x}&]</inlineequation></inlinemediaobject></textobject>
Its time taking and select one by one
Result:
My main concern is that is this possible script find open [& and close &] all poermath equation data automatically then insert (add) xml tags all pages.
Thank/Regard

InDesign crashes when I add xml tag

I have some groups (image + text) inside text.
When I try to add xml tags with a grep query InDesign crashes.
If I try to manually add xml tag to the text in a group, for example "evitare l'umidità", InDesign give me a message error.
I think it's a bug
Here there is the document Dropbox - ProblemaTag.idml
Thanks
Ivan

I haven't done a Book in CS6 yet, but I'm starting to wonder if there might be some sort of bug (not extremely likely, but....) that's new. We had another post yesterday where ID crashed when trying to move a particular file into the chapter 5 position.
Can you add this file first, then move it to the correct spot after the other files are added?

Add xml tag to specific words in a text frame

Dear all,
I'm pretty sure this can't be too much of a hassle, but after hours of experimenting, searching and reading I can't seem to look at it from the right angle. I'm trying to find a way to search for a specific word ('Figure', in my case) in a given text frame, and add a corresponding XML tag to it automatically. I've found plenty of information on how to apply it to a page item as a whole, but from there no approach seems to work. Seeing as I'm fairly new to InDesign scripting, any nudge in the right direction would be an immense help.
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Julian

Hi Julian,
Is this you asking?
var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "figure";
var found = doc.findText();
for(var i =0;i<found.length;i++)
doc.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.add({markupTag:"figure", xmlContent:found[i]});

Chinna

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden? If so, I've done this.
2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me. You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset. I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
as a parameter). If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties. I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
-- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there. When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
So what am I missing!?
Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

Problem trying to wrap a Microsoft Word paragraph in XML tags?!? :/

Hello everyone. I really hope this is not a big problem and that some of your could help. I wrote a Macro in VBA like a year ago that was intented to put a tag before every single paragraph in a document. The logic validates that the paragraph have no other
tag before putting one. All of this is based in styles. Some font styles would end up with different tags. This is my code and it works:

As you see, it ends up saving a .txt document with the tags.

InStr(1, oPara.Range.Text, "<main>") = 0 And _
InStr(1, oPara.Range.Text, "<capara>") = 0 Then
oPara.Range.InsertAfter "</main> "
oPara.Range.InsertBefore "<main> "
End If
End If
But it just would add the two tags before the paragraphs!!! Is there anyway to wrap the paragraph in XML tags, following my logic? Somebody help please!! Thank you!! :/

[JS CS3] Problem with iterating xml tags

Hello,
Below is a script that is supposed to find text in a document and then tag it with an xml tag. I have run into a problem, which if I solve in the way I know how, causes another problem.
When I iterate in a positive direction--i++--the first instance of the text (in this example "abc") is correctly tagged. But the second instance the tag recedes by two characters, that is, tags the three characters prior to the "c." A third instance will recede two more characters, ad nauseam, if my Latin is correct.
The solution is to iterate backwards, i.e., i--. But this causes another problem. If there is more than one story, then the xml structure reverses the order of the stories. The elements within a story are ordered correctly however.
So why is this happening and how can I solve it?
Thanks,
Tom
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var findABC = theTextFinder(myDoc,"abc");
xmlTagIt(myDoc,"abc",UIColors.RED,findABC);
//*****functions*******
function xmlTagIt(docRef, tagName,colorOfTag, arrToTag){
    var tagName, colorOfTag, arrToTag;
    myDoc.xmlViewPreferences.showStructure = true;
    myDoc.xmlViewPreferences.showTaggedFrames =true;
    myDoc.xmlViewPreferences.showTagMarkers = true;
    myDoc.xmlViewPreferences.showTextSnippets =false;
    myDoc.xmlPreferences.defaultStoryTagColor = UIColors.WHITE;
    var rootElement = myDoc.xmlElements.item(0);
    if (myDoc.xmlTags.item(tagName) == null) {
        var tagRef = myDoc.xmlTags.add(tagName, colorOfTag);
} else {//if tag already exists then stop the script. Avoid double tagging
       myDoc.xmlViewPreferences.showStructure = true;
       alert("You have already run this script.");
       exit();
   }//end else
    //for (var i = arrToTag.length-1; 0 <= i; i--){
    for (var i = 0; i <= arrToTag.length-1; i++){
        var elementRef = rootElement.xmlElements.add (tagRef,arrToTag[i]);
     }//end for i
}//end function xmlTagIt
function theTextFinder(docRef,textFindIt){//last argument is the string of text to find
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = textFindIt;
    var arrTextFindIt = myDoc.findText();
    return arrTextFindIt;
}//end theTextFinder

Dave,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure what you mean by "convert the references on the fly." You mean find a way to advance two characters forward and tag that? In the script I submitted here I am only searching for "abc," which of course I would not search or at all in real life. The script uses grep to search for about twenty different typographical errors that typically appear and tags them all.
Reiterating backwards seems, at first sight the way to go. But I haven't a clue as to how to reverse the order of the stories. I can get an array of stories, and array.reverse() them, but am not sure how to then make the script put this reversed order into the xml structure. Any hints?
There, of course is bigger problem with the stories. If the document is written with one story created after another then the order of them is top to botom. But if say a text frame edited into the middle of all this, that story is still the last one in the xml structure. At least in one test, that was so. Maybe the way to solve this is to build an array of stories that have as one xml attribute the page it first appears on. Then order the array according to that attribute.
Any advice you give will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
