Append an XML Fragment using powershell

I m running into an issues appending an xml attribute fragment. I had this working but now im getting the below errors. Below is the default xml structure and I want to add items under the Assignments node.

<Assigned>12/12/1212</Assigned>
<Due>12/21/1212</Due>
</Assignment>
$xmlFragment=$xml.CreateDocumentFragment($txt)
$node=$xml.SelectSingleNode('//Assignments')
$node.AppendChild($xmlFragment)
The Errors:

If I do $XML | GM I see that CreateDocumentFragment, if someone could show me what im doing wrong. Im sure im missing something simple.

Okay. I test that out and it work but the formatting is thrown off a little. do you know if there would be a way to fix that?

Assign default namespace to XML fragment using XQuery

Hi everybody!
I need to add a default namespace declaration to a XML fragment using XQuery. I wrote following statement to assign fragment to $body:
<soap-env:Body>{
fn-bea:inlinedXML($content/text())}
</soap-env:Body>
The problem is "$content/text()" has no namespace declaration so I need to assign a default namespace (xmlns="") to it in order to apply some XQuery transformations to its content.
I know this can be easily done with a XSLT but I would like use XQuery instead.
Could anyone tell me how I could perform this task?
Thank you in advance,
Daniel.

How To Store XML Fragments Using Functions Such As XMLElement

Hi
Not sure what I am missing. I wish to store XML fragments in variables so can pass around and concatenate with other fragments to make final XML document. Even before attempting to concatenate XML fragments, I am struggling to store any XML fragment in a variable. I am trying to use simple functions such as XMLElement to generate XML so can store in variable. I have seen many examples of XMLElement in SQL select statement. Can XMLElement be used in plsql? XMLElement says it returns value of type XMLType. Functions such as XMLElement make generating XML easier than creating all tags manually.
Below is simple example that demonstrates what I would like to do. I would like to be able to pass the XML fragment as either XMLType or clob. I receive error saying PLS-00201: identifier 'XMLELEMENT' must be declared
declare
vTheData XMLType;
vTheDataClob clob;
begin
vTheData:= XMLelement("empno",'1234567');
vTheDataClob:= xmlelement("empno",'1234567').getclobval();
end;
Where as I can use below, but surely don't have to use select into from dual method. I just expect can use XMLElement function in plsql same as sql, such as most other functions eg length, rtrim etc.
declare
vTheData XMLType;
vTheDataClob clob;
begin
select xmlelement("empno",'1234567')
into vTheData
from dual;
select xmlelement("empno",'1234567').getclobval()
into vTheDataClob
from dual;
end;
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Having said that, is there a more elegant way to achieve below. That is populate two XML fragments and concatenate together.
Sure, why not just only one statement?
select XMLConcat(
XMLElement( ... )
, XMLElement( ... )
into vTheResult
from dual;
As a second question, is it better to build and pass XML fragments as XMLType or clob?
I would say stay with XMLType but it depends on your requirement.
I generally avoid passing around pieces of data, SQL/XML functions are powerful in the way they can be used with set operations, so using them in a piecewise approach kinda negates what they're for.

Using value of a variable in XML fragment

Hi,
I am assigning an xml fragment to a webservice variable. The XML fragment is as mentioned below:
<ns2:ArrayOfKeyValuePair xmlns:ns2="http://www.themindelectric.com/package/com.taw.cca.common/"
xsi:type="soapenc:Array"
soapenc:arrayType="ns2:KeyValuePair[1]"
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<item xsi:type="ns2:KeyValuePair">
<key xsi:type="xsd:string">key</key>
*<value xsi:type="xsd:string" > 1234</value>*
</item>
</ns2:ArrayOfKeyValuePair>
In the above mentioned xml fragment, for the tag value I need to pass the data of a variable instead of the hardcoded string 1234. How can I resolve my issue?
Thanks

In the worst case, you could always resort to using scriptlets to retrieve the parameter. and set it up as an attribute in the local page scope.
<%
String param = (String)request.getParameter("collection");
Collection userCollection = (Collection)request.getAttribute(param);
pageContext.setAttribute("local_collection", userCollection);
%>
<forEach var="user" items="${local_collection}">
,,,I think this should work.
JSTL is great, but it can't yet replace every scriptlet, much as I would like it to.

Download RSS feed as xml file from Sharepoint Online using PowerShell

Hello
Our company sharepoint (Office 365) contains also several RSS feeds.
How it is possible to download xml file out of this feed (website) using PowerShell?
I can authenticate with sharepoint using CSOM but do not what to do next.
As service user is not administrator I cannot use "SPOService".
This script works OK for standard website, but not for Sharepoint.
$doc = New-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$doc.Load("http://www.{CompanySite}.com/feed/")
$doc.save("C:\temp\feed.xml")
I am getting this error when using for company Sharepoint:
"The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
Thanks for your time considering this question.

Using XMLAgg with non-wellformed XML fragments

Hi,
with XMLAgg one can create a non-wellformed XML-Fragement ( i.e. with multiple root elements ) like
<foo>bar1</foo>
<foo>bar2</foo>
where each foo element comes from a table row ( e.g. from a single-column table with the rows 'bar1' and 'bar2' ).
However, I wasn't able to get a similar result when creating multiple elements per row. I defined a function that returns a non-wellformed fragment like
<foo>bar1</foo>
<oof>bar1</oof>
per row, but I couldn't aggregate these fragments using XMLAgg. The result should look like ( 2 elements per row )
<foo>bar1</foo>
<oof>bar1</oof>
<foo>bar2</foo>
<oof>bar2</oof>
Instead, i got an "LPX-00245: extra data after end of document" error ( whole error see below ).
I wonder why it is possible to create non-wellformed fragments with XMLAgg, but why there seems to be impossible to aggregate them.
Regards,
Pat

Getting ORA-22805 when trying to load XML file using SQLLDR

I'm trying to learn the basics of XML since we'll be getting XML files in the near future. I'm using one of the sample schemas that comes with XMLSPY. I loaded this schema into an 11g Oracle DB using XMLSPY:

This is what's in the control file:

The load fails with:

Another question I have is, how do we know how many records (0's) to specify in the control file? In this case there's only one but when real files are used we won't know how many are in the file.
Thanks for your help!

The concept was "Don't use SQL*Loader to parse XML".
You can use SQL*Loader to load an entire XML document into the DB. That is fine. You can do the same via BFILENAME to read in files from disk as well.
If you want to parse XML, do that from within Oracle via PL/SQL and/or SQL. The solution depends upon your version of Oracle and what is good enough for you in terms of performance.
So the basics are
a) How am I getting the information?
b) How am I getting in into Oracle?
c) How do I want to parse it?
As I see the schema, it only allows for one ipo:purchaseOrder node in the document, since that is the root node. If you have multiple in the incoming file, you no longer have valid XML, both per the schema and because you have no single root node. You have an XML fragment, which must be treated different.
Just trying to understand the question since I now realize it does not agree with what the schema in your initial example shows.

Creating a Scheduled Task using PowerShell v4

So here is my question. I'm trying/wanting to create a scheduled task using PowerShell v4 on Server 2012R2. I want to task to run on the 1st day of every month. The parameter for -Monthly -Day is not available. I need to use PowerShell
to create the Scheduled Task because the Task will be running with a group Managed Service Account credentials so the Scheduled Task can not be created via the Task Scheduler GUI.
Thanks in Advance

How can I query a https website used to display the status of an application using Powershell?

Need assistance on querying the status of an application using Powershell. The status of the application is displayed in a https website. I want to receive a notification when one of the listed applications fails.
Below is an example the failures I need to capture.

Maximo Vizcaino

thats where you are going to check what it is supposed to be.
lets say your page shows as SSOL Status : running you
probably want to use "if($totalstrng.ToLower().contains("ssqlL status
: running"))". its
checking if the html page contains the string you are looking for.
you might want to print $totalstrng
and see what you need to look for.
usign XMLHttp
or XML object as mentioned by JRV might be easier and faster way.

Using powershell to deploy provider-hosted app and specify remote Url instead of using appinv.aspx page

Hello all,
Could you possibly help me with provider-hosted app development/deployment process.
We developed SharePoint provider-hosted app that works just fine in development environment. Now we need to automate it's installation in test environment via powershell.
In AppManifest.xml that we are deploying we have key instead of explicit URL:
<App xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/2012/app/manifest" Name="ShowAllRoomsApp" ProductID="{922a18aa-5592-b59a-4da9-4791baef02e7}" Version="1.0.0.0"
SharePointMinVersion="15.0.0.0">
<Properties>
<Title>SomeTitle</Title>
<StartPage>~remoteAppUrl/Pages/Default.aspx?{StandardTokens}</StartPage>
If we use as
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj655398.aspx recommends, we cannot specify Redirect Url as we can do this on
/_layouts/appinv.aspx
So now it seems like the only way to deploy this kind of solution is using appinv.aspx page.Or must we apply this URL in AppManifest on developing stage in Visual Studio?
What did I miss?
P. S. Even if I use /_layouts/appinv.aspx after powershell commandlets, I get error.

hi,
to deploy provider hosted app you need 2 things
1. Client ID
2. Redirect URL.
What you can do you can generate app from visual studio using clientID and URL from developer enviornment.
Now a app file is just a simple compressed zip file if you rename it as .zip and extract you will find AppManifest
inside it. So to create an app for Testing enviornment what you have to to Get the CLient ID (from AppRegNew.aspx) in testing enviornment. Unzip .App file change the AppManifest with testing client ID and URL than again zip file and rename as .app.
Now if you upload this file it will work.
To automate this scenerio i have created a simple windows Application in which i Pass the Client ID and StartURl and an App File it unzips the app file make changes to app and again zip it.
public static class AppPackageHelper
public const string StartUrlExpression = "{0}?{1}";
public const string StandardToken = "{StandardTokens}";
public static string Publish(string appPath, string ClientId,string StartUrl)
string tempDir = string.Empty;
string outPutFile = string.Empty;
try
string parentDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(appPath);
outPutFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId + "-Winshuttle.app");
tempDir = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId.ToString());
Directory.CreateDirectory(tempDir);
int lastInd = appPath.LastIndexOf('.');
string tempPath = string.Empty;
string targetFilePath = string.Empty;
string cabPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(tempDir, System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(appPath) + ".cab");
FileInfo fInfo = new FileInfo(appPath) { IsReadOnly = false };
File.Copy(appPath, cabPath);
XDocument doc = null;
string appManifest = string.Empty;
using (ZipArchive zipArch = ZipFile.Open(cabPath, ZipArchiveMode.Update))
appManifest = string.Format(@"{0}\AppManifest.xml", Directory.GetParent(cabPath).FullName);
ZipArchiveEntry manifestEntry = zipArch.Entries.LastOrDefault(e => e.Name.ToLower() == "appmanifest.xml");
manifestEntry.ExtractToFile(appManifest);
doc = XDocument.Load(appManifest);
XNamespace ns = doc.Root.GetDefaultNamespace();
string defaultUrl = string.Format(StartUrlExpression, StartUrl.TrimEnd('/'), StandardToken);
doc.Descendants(XName.Get("StartPage", ns.NamespaceName)).First().Value = defaultUrl;
doc.Descendants(XName.Get("RemoteWebApplication", ns.NamespaceName)).First().Attribute(XName.Get("ClientId")).Value = setupInfo.ClientId.ToString();
doc.Save(appManifest);
if (manifestEntry != null)
manifestEntry.Delete();
zipArch.CreateEntryFromFile(appManifest, "AppManifest.xml");
int totEnt = zipArch.Entries.Count;
for (int e = 0; e < totEnt; e++)
if (zipArch.Entries[e].Open().Length == 0)
//if (zipArch.Entries.Count > totEnt && e >= totEnt) break;
//zipArch.CreateEntry(zipArch.Entries[e].FullName);
File.Delete(appManifest);
if (File.Exists(outPutFile))
File.Delete(outPutFile);
File.Move(cabPath, outPutFile);
return outPutFile;
catch
throw;
finally
if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(tempDir))
System.IO.Directory.Delete(tempDir, true);
return outPutFile;
using System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll.
Also if you want to do it using powershell You need to do the same thing unzip-> changes values-> zip
So basic thing is You need to ahve only valid AppManifest file which contains 2 valid values Client Id and StartUrl
if you changes it inside appmanifest manuall than it will also work. Using above code you can create a console Application to do it. You can use powershell it just that i dont know how to zip unzip in powershell but i am pretty sure you can easily find it
on searching.

Search and Replace text in file using PowerShell

I want to schedule a script in PowerShell to search a directory for an XML file for a particular text string and replace it with a different text string and then save the file with the same name, the name of the file
will change each time the script is run on a daily basis. There will only be one XML file in the location when the scheduled script is run.
I have never used PowerShell but am familiar with batch file commands, can anyone please help!!

Manipulating XML file using flex 2.0

Hi,
how to add contents in to xml file using flex 2.0, ie i
actually wants to write data in to a xml file, so that data to be
appended at the end of the file.
Kumar

You can't! Well, at least Flex cannot do this. All Flex can
do is send this data -- any data -- to the server and it's up to
you how you want to append this data to a file on the server.
You see, flex can't write to local files. If you looking for
client side file manipulation, take a look at Flex's desktop
brother call AIR!

Creating XML File Using xmldom Package

How can I create an XML file from scratch using the PL/SQL xmldom package?
I want to create an XML file using the xmldom package instead of building the individual tags as strings of VARCHAR2 character data. There is quite a bit of documentation regarding manipulating input XML files using DOM -- but not for creating XML files from scratch given known "tagnames" (<lastName>) and retrieved database "values" ("Smith").
<person>
<lastName>Smith</lastName>
</person>
Is there any documentation that you can recommend?
Thank you.

Here is an example.
The create_file procedure creates the file.
The other procedures are generic procs that can be used with any XML.
PROCEDURE create_file_with_root(po_xmldoc OUT xmldom.DOMDocument,
pi_root_tag IN VARCHAR2,
 po_root_element OUT xmldom.domelement,
 po_root_node OUT xmldom.domnode,
 pi_doctype_url IN VARCHAR2) IS
xmldoc xmldom.DOMDocument;
root xmldom.domnode;
root_node xmldom.domnode;
root_element xmldom.domelement;
record_node xmldom.domnode;
newelenode xmldom.DOMNode;
BEGIN
xmldoc := xmldom.newDOMDocument;
xmldom.setVersion(xmldoc, '1.0');
xmldom.setDoctype(xmldoc, pi_root_tag, pi_doctype_url,'');
-- Create the root --

Reading XML file using BAPI and then uploading that xml file data into SAP

I am getting a xml file from Java server. I need to take
data from this file using BAPI and need to upload into SAP using SAP.
Please tell me how to read XML files using BAPI's.
