Adding xml data as metadata.

Hi, I need to find a way to add a whole xml (probably hundred of lines) as metadata or as any other kind of attached data to a pdf.
This data will be read later using Actionsript via XMP.
Is this possible?, can I store a whole xml inside as metadata?.
Thanks.

I see, that arises two questions:
1- if I want to hide the xml, or encrypt it somehow, is it possible?.
2- how do I access the attachment using AS3?, specially inside mobile (Air app on iOS/Android)

Problem displaying XML data in XSL page

Hi There!
I'm having trouble when adding XML data from the schema (which shows up properly in the bindings panel) to the XSL page..
Following the step by step available here...
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822 510a94ae8d65-7a56a.html#ionCTAAnchor
After adding the XML item to the XSL file it ends up showing up as parent/client/name (no brackets) Instead of like the example above where it should display as {parent/client/name} and be highlighted. Also when previewing the XSL document it just shows 'parent/client/name' instead of the actuall XML content..
I believe the XML data source is properly attached because it shows up in the bindings panel.. But I don't know what else could be going wrong..
Any help would be great!

This is being enhanced to that the [...] button that appears in the data grid is available for all grid of data so that a popup with an extended area is shown.

R12 Payment Process Request Status Report adding extra columns to XML data.

In 11i, we had modified the Preliminary Payment Report to include extra columns ( invoice distributions). In r12 , that report is obsolete and Oracle introduced a new report "Payment Process Request Status Report". This request uses BI Publisher to generate the final report output. I am unable to modify the template since the XML output of the report does not
contain the invoice distribution account data. We need to know how can we modify the XML data to include the extra columns.
For Funds Disbursement Process ( Payment Instruction File) , Oracle provides IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB extensibility package to construct custom XML element structure that can be added to the payment XML extract generated by Oracle Payments. Do we have something similar for this report ? Are there any other options available ?
Thanks

Hi
The same package "IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB" works for payment process request status report also. Please add the logic to get the distribution data in this package and you will see the new XML tags in this report also.
Hope this helps.

Adding a DateTime stamp to XML data file on PDF Form

I have a PDF form which is submitting data via email.
I am not requiring a signature.
Along with the data collected on the form, I'd like the XML data file sent to include a date/time stamp. Roughly, this could be when the "Submit" button was selected.
I have been able to get the current date/time to display, on the form. However, I cannot get the value displayed on the form to be sent in the dataset.

I got this to work using the following steps:
1) create a field (TextField1 in the data example below) on the form for the data/time (this could be a hidden field, if you want). Mine is set to "Calculated-Read Only"
2) Populate it in its calculate script using:
this.rawValue = xfa.timeStamp;
(I could have scripted it to set its value in the Submit button, so the date & time are determined when the button is clicked, instead of when the form is opened).
3) Make sure to set the field's binding to "normal" instead of "none" - this ensures that the field's value is part of the submitted XML data file. This is the key step.
When I click the email submit button, I get the following XML Data;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1
><TextField1
>2008-03-03T16:01:59Z</TextField1
><TextField2
>some text</TextField2
></form1

Coredump when adding new data to a document

Hi,
I have managed to get a coredump when adding data to a document,
initially using the Python API but I can reproduce it with a dbxml script.
I am using dbxml-2.2.13 on RedHat WS 4.0.
My original application reads XML data from files, and adds them
one at a time to a DbXML document using XmlModify.addAppendStep
and XmlModify.execute. At a particular document (call it "GLU.xml") it
segfaults during the XmlModify.execute call. It is not malformed data in
the file, because if I remove some files that are loaded at an earlier stage,
GLU.xml is loaded quite happily and the segfault happens later. Changing
my application so that it exits just before reading GLU.xml, and loading GLU.xml's
data into the container file using the dbxml shell's "append" command produces
the same segfault. The stacktrace is below. Steps #0 to #7 inclusive are the
same as the stacktrace I got when using the Python API.
Can anyone give me any suggestions? I could send the dbxml container file and
dbxml script to anyone who would be prepared to take a look at this problem.
Regards,
Peter.

Hi George,
I can get the coredump with the following XML data (cut down from its original
size of around 900Kb):
<file name="GLU.xml">
<_StorageUnit time="Wed Apr 5 11:06:49 2006" release="1.0.212"
packageName="ccp.ChemComp" root="tempData" originator="CCPN Python XmlIO">
<parent>
<key1 tag="molType">protein</key1>
<key2 tag="ccpCode">GLU</key2>
</parent>
<StdChemComp ID="1" code1Letter="E" stdChemCompCode="GLU" molType="protein" ccpCode="GLU" code3Letter="GLU" msdCode="GLU_LFOH" cifCode="GLU" merckCode="12,4477">
<name>GLUTAMIC ACID</name>
<commonNames>L-glutamic acid</commonNames>
</_StorageUnit>

</file>This happens when the data from 106 other files have been inserted beforehand
(ranging in size from 1Kb to 140Kb). If I manipulate the order so that the above data
is loaded earlier in the sequence, it inserts fine and I get the coredump when
loading data from a different file.
The actual XmlModify calls look something like:
qry = mgr.prepare("/datapkg/dir[@name='dir1']/dir[@name='dir2']", qc)
mdfy.addAppendStep(qry, XmlModify.Element, "",
 '<file name='" + fileName + '">' +
 data[pos:] + "</file>")
mdfy.execute(XmlValue(doc), qc, uc)where data[pos:] points to the location in the mmap-ed file containing the
above data just after the <?xml ...?> header.
If you want to try to reproduce the crash at your end there are a couple of ways
we could do it. I have just figured out that this forum software doesn't let me
upload files or reveal my e-mail address in my profile, but you can contact me with
username: pkeller; domain name: globalphasing.com and I can send the
data to you.

Peter.

XML Data from PL/SQL procedure -- special character issue (eBS)

Hi All,
I am developing a report, where the XML data is created by a PL/SQL procedure. I chose this approach over a data template, since there is a lot of processing involved in producing the actual data, and it cannot be done by select-statements alone. The report is run as a regular concurrent request.
So far so good. There is a problem though. Every time the data contains special characters (ä, ö, umlauts), the concurrent request is completed with a warning, the log confirms that "One or more post-processing actions failed.", also there is no output file. The XML structure is valid as such. The report runs smoothly and produces the output when the XML data does not contain special characters.
I am producing the XML lines by using the standard FND_FILE.PUT_LINE procedure: Fnd_File.put_line(Fnd_File.output, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'); This seems like a character encoding issue, but declaring the UTF-8 encoding in this way does not solve the problem.
Any ideas what can be done to fix this? I have been searching Metalink but cannot find an answer. Many thanks for your kind help.
Best Regards, Matilda

Hi Rajesh,
One idea I have, is that it might be possible to modify the PL/SQL code into a "before report" type trigger, attached to a data template. The code would process the data and write the lines into a temporary table, from which the data template could retrieve them in a simple select-query. However, it would be neat to be able to solve this without adding an extra layer of processing, since BI Publisher supposedly supports PL/SQL procedures as the data source.
The data in this case is all correct, special characters are an intrinsic feature of the Finnish language. :)
Best Regards, Matilda

XML data into Combo & List

Hi
I am too new to this and still tring to learn. Well here is what I am into. I am trying to make a simple product catalog, using native components
     a combobox to display DISTINCT health issues
     a listbox to display the products associated to the selected health issue item in ComboBox
     a textarea to display complete information about the selected product in listbox
Data comes from single external xml file.
I was able to start off with Combo, but I don't know how to display DISTINCT ITEMS IN IT? Now it display all items including duplicates. Then I added eventlistener to Combo, which on change, the data for selected item is displyed in Textarea, but i don't know how to hook this to List component.
All files available here:

Sure some of you can do it so easy. Appreciate your time and help.
Thank you

How to read XML data stored in CLOB in Concurrent prog Output

Hi All,
I'm trying to Generate the XML Data as concurrent Program output. I have a PL/SQL package which generated the XML data by using SQL/XML functions. I'm storing the generated XML data in a CLOB variable. But when i try to read the data using fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.OUTPUT,XML_Data) it doesn't display data more than 32767 bytes.
Please help me out to understand what could be done to read the data in chunks. I have tried many logic's to print chunks of data but the output tags are either chopped off and errors out saying Tag not found.
My logic is as below:
v_handler:= DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(v_xml_query);
--Sets NULL handling options
DBMS_XMLGen.SetNullHandling(v_handler, dbms_xmlgen.EMPTY_TAG ) ;
--Set special character handling
DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- Specified whether to use an XML attribute to indicate NULLness of particular entity in the XML document
DBMS_XMLGen.useNullAttributeIndicator(v_handler,TRUE);
-- set Checking invalid chars
DBMS_XMLGEN.setCheckInvalidChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- get the xml data as required
v_xml_data:= DBMS_XMLGEN.getXMLtype(v_handler);
SELECT XMLROOT(v_xml_data.extract('/*'),VERSION '1.0').getClobVal() into v_new_xml_Data from dual;
-- get the length of the xml generated
v_clob_len := dbms_lob.getlength(v_new_xml_Data);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The Clob length is :'|| v_clob_len);
-- logic to process string more than 32767 Processing by each character
v_offset :=1;
while (v_offset <= v_clob_len)
LOOP
v_char := dbms_lob.substr(v_new_xml_Data, 1, v_offset);
IF (v_char = CHR(10))
then
fnd_file.new_line(fnd_file.output, 1);
else
fnd_file.put(fnd_file.output, v_char);
end if;
v_offset := v_offset + 1;
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The offset is :'|| v_offset);
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 1);
THe above logic is for character by character which is a performance burden? Please let me know if there is any other work around for this

Hi,
Thanks for Replying. I have refered http://blog.oraclecontractors.com/?p=69 and then i added that piece of code. Basically, i'm trying to generate a report using XML publisher. To generate the XML data i'm writing a pl/sql package with SQl/XML functions. DBMS_XMLGEN would help me convert the XML Data as is. When the concurrent program runs this XML data will merge with RTF layout and generate required report. I'm able to generate the Report for data less then 32767 bytes. More than the limit i need to pass chunks of XML data to read as output. That's the reason i'm using fnd_file.output. But it reads only 32767 size at a time.
WHen i use the given logic, it works perfectly fine, but it loops for each character, for example if you have 30,000 characters it loops the same, which is peformance burden.
So i tried to write the logic of chunks but still i get the error that XML tag is not found or missing. I'm hoping this is very common issue, but after all my trails, i didn't find the right solution.
the other logic i tried was :
v_new_xml_data varchar2(32767)
v_iterations := CEIL(v_clob_len/v_chunk_length); -- v_chunk_length is 32767 and v_clob_length is length of the XML data stored inthe clob variable
For i in 0..v_iterations
LOOP
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'the loops v_pos :'||i||' and v_clob_length :'||v_clob_len);
v_new_xml_data := DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR ( V_XML_DATA,v_chunk_length,(i*v_chunk_length)+1);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,v_new_xml_data); -- read the output for every 32767 chunks
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Chunk length is :'||((i*v_chunk_length)+1));
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'out of loop');
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'length of new xml is '||v_clob_len);
Please, let me know if you need Further clarifications on the same.

PDF form with XML data connection comes up blank at run time

Hello All,
I am a newbie to ADOBE Livecycle 9, but am very proficient in C#. I would like to request for your guidance on the following issue.
We have a desktop application in C#, WPF, Sqlserver. The requirement is to launch a Livecycle form from the application for the user to read/edit/save data
I have done this much so far -
Downloaded trial version of Livecycle 9

Created an XML based data connection. Generated fields on the form using the fields from this connection.
Set the .XML file as preview source for the form
the controls on the form are boumd to the xml data source
In design mode, the form works fine, it displays my data correctly
I have created a WPF form with a button. On click of this button, I call the Process.Start(pdf-file-path). My pdf is launched properly
I have added a combo box to my WPF form. I select a parameter from this, then call a stored procedure which returns me a datatable depending on parameter passed
Using the returned datatable, I have used the datatable.writexml and datatable.writexmlschema to create my XML and XSD files. as mentioned above, this xsd is used to create the data connection for the PDF and the XML for the preview source
This is what I want to do -
Launch the PDF from my WPF form, pre-populated with the newly created XML data from my WPF form.
So basically, as the user changes the selection criteria from the combo box, the XML file data will change and the PDF file will be launched each time with new data.
The XSD format will always be constant
Problem -
My XML and XSD get created properly, my PDF launches, but it is empty
If I change my selection criteria and run the WPF application, and then open the PDF in design mode, it asks me whether it should refresh the XML source. This means that the PDF form is connecting correctly to the XML source
So why then, does the form come up empty at run time?
What link am I missing?
I have found some sites that help using Web applications, but nothing for desktop applications. It would be fantastic if you could point me to some help for developing Livecycle forms with C# / SQLServer
Your help in this case will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Oops, something happended with the above post. I will try again... I have tried your suggestion but I still get the same garbled XML (with data repeated and some values "cut in half". Here is what I get after decode-service and extract-to-XML-service. This is just the first barcode, the others are similar, sorry for the poor formatting, but I get a CDATA tage infront of the "istensen" value. CDATA:istensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie >Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown</fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 >/sub_Adresse ><sub_Person ><fld_ForMellemEfterNavn>Kim Christensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie > Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown </fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 Obviously this is not a legal xml-string, so I can do nothing about it. I have tried using a custom .NET component (ClearImage) for reading the same form (with the barcode) I get the correct data out from the barcodes. So I guess something is wrong with the decode-service in Barcoded Forms ES when I use compressed XML. But I can conclude since the ClearImage component can read the barcodes that they are compressed correctly. Can you help me with getting further with this problem? Sincerely Kim

CollapsiblePanel with XML data source

I've been working with the CollapsiblePanel for the past two
nights. I can't make the panel collapse at runtime when I have XML
data attached.
I validated by downloading one of the Adobe Lab
CollapsiblePanel samples. I validated that I could make the sample
work from my Dreamweaver CS3 environment. Then, I added an XML data
source and retested. The panel would not collapse. Then, I took out
the XML dataset and retested the CollapsiblePanel. It worked.
Is this a design feature? I can't imagine this was designed
to work this way. I'm trying to create a scrollable div that can
collapse. I have everything working except the collapse feature.
(BTW: I tried defining a spry:region and spry:detailregion, it
didn't seem to matter.)
CODE SNIPIT
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel"
spry:region="dsWeek">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab">Standard Collapsible
Panel</div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
{feature}
</div>
</div>

How does the xml data look like? in GML?
If the xml data set is not too large, maybe you can add them (after your application has parsed them) as additional MapViewer GeoFeatures in a map request.
Currently MapViewer (preview or production release of 9.0.4) does not support xml-only datasource.
We will look into incorporating GML or other standard-based xml datasource for a future release of MapViewer.

Filtering multiple-XML data model with parameters

I have a data model that consists of a concatenation of 9 separate RSS feeds (weather information from 9 different cities coming from http://www.weather.gov/data/current_obs/????.xml, where ???? is the National Weather Service station ID). All of the feeds have exactly the same format. When I view the raw XML data, I see 9 different values of station_id and of every other tag. So the XML data looks fine. Now I'd like to be able to select one city at a time in an LOV dropdown.
I've created a static LOV called Cities with the list of the 9 station ID's. I've created a parameter called city that is tied to that LOV.
What I can't figure out is how to tie the selected city to the station_id field in the concatenated XML dataset.
I've tied adding a parameter to each rss data set, entering each city's 4-character station ID into its Parameter Name field, and of course choosing city as the parameter. For example, the Parameters section for the Amarillo rss feed would show a Name of KAMA and a Value (Parameter) of city. While this seems logical, selecting the parameter on the View screen doesn't change the display.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Ahhh, post as in "e-mail". DOH!

XML Data Sets and IE8

I have an issue with Spry XML Data sets that is driving me nuts.
The setup is quite straightforward. I have a PHP script which submits a SOAP request, the result of which is pure XML. I echo this XML out as the result of the script.
I have another page on which is one or more Spry XML Data Sets. These data sets use the previous script as the source. I know this works OK because when i 'Get Schema' in the XML dataset dialog in Dreamweaver, the schema is properly displayed. This page also has a Spry Table on it, which uses the dataset as the source. There is nothing else on the page at all.
Now, when I preview this page in Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari, it displays fine. However, when I preview it in IE, the table briefly flashes up then disappears. A quick look at the source of the page shows the HTML all laid out very licely, but the Spry fields still show with their placeholders (e.g. {Balance}) instead of the actual value. Im left with a totally blank page in IE.
I have tried running in compatibility mode with no effect. I found a posting on Experts Exchange (yuk!) where someone else was having the problem but this turned out to bedue to badly formed XML. I have run my XML though XMLSpy and several online validators and it checks out every time.
Any ideas? I am slowly losing the will to live....

Hi,
I'm trying to debug the same problem...I think.The pages work in firefox on PC & MAC but stop with the {data_name} in IE on both PC & MAC.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 with ADDT. I've read the posts about adding the content-type to my file that ADDT created for me just before the XMLExport, so I've added that to the get_menu_1_info.php file (see lines 42-46). I've peeked into the XMLExport.class.php file to see that the Execute function is supposedly already sending the header info (see line 223). But I'm not getting the data into IE.
Any help would be appreciated!
here's where you can see the page:

here's where I generate the xml file to be consumed:

I've attached the files for you to see.
