Appending content to an XML file in the Root tag using FileAdapter

Hi Friends..!!
I have got a requirement like this. There will be an XML file with List of Employees like following...
<Employees>
<Emp>
<SNo>111</Sno>
<Fname>Mahesh<Fname>
<Lname>Babu</Lname>
</Emp>
<Emp>
<SNo>222</Sno>
<Fname>----<Fname>
<Lname>-----</Lname>
</Emp>
<Emp>
<SNo>----</Sno>
<Fname>----<Fname>
<Lname>----</Lname>
</Emp>
</Employees>
.. So What i have to do is Appending the given Employees info to the existed XML file using File Adapter. But When i m trying to figure it out.. the given details are appended at the end of the previous content.. but i want to see all the Emp tags(the newly appended emp list also) in the existed <Employees> tag only..
(i m also facing namespace issues here)
Can u plz provide solution for this problem..?
Thanks in advance.
Regards-
Nlion7

Hi Nilon7,
the given details are appended at the end of the previous contentThat will be the behaviour if you are just using file write with append...
You will need to expand your solution into three steps, firstly a file adapter sync read to retrieve the current contents of the file, then a xslt transformation to "merge" the current data with the new data and finally a file adapter write with the merged content...
Cheers,
Vlad

Help on how to read the content of an XML file from the payload

I have a receiver channel / mail adapter, that sends e-mails with a XML attachment.

How to update XML file from the program

i am new in abap , and i have the following issue,so plz anyone who knows how to do it
Background :
An XML file is used as the datasource for a Flex Application. From time to time this requires updating with new staff details.
i have already saved the xml file in the c drive with the name C:\AdvAC\AC1\bin-debug\assets\staff
Requirement : Write a Dialog transaction with the following text input fields.
Reference Indicator. (Char10)
Staff No (NUMC, Length 5)
Name (Char50)
Room (Numc, length 3)
Phone (Numc Length 7)
Mail (char30)

The transaction should also have an u201CUpdate Fileu201D button, which when pressed :
1) Loads the file C:\AdvAC\AC1\bin-debug\assets \ into an ITAB.
2) Inserts the data into the ITAB using the following XML format.

Changing content type of xml file to pdf

Hello,
I have an xml file (extension is *.xdp) which can locally be opened with Adobe Reader and displays as a regular pdf file. Adobe has a technology that allows xml to be merged with a pdf shell, and thus populating the pdf file with the values retrieved from the xml file.
My issue is that I want this to be done on an application server level (jboss in particular). In a servlet, I stream the xml file for the contents to be printed out within a browser (IE). I specify the content type to be application/pdf, however, the data is not being displayed within Adobe Reader, but rather as a regular xml file.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is the code below:
response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=30");
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
byte[] fileBytes = readFile();
out.write(fileBytes);

Yes, the xml does contain a reference to the shell pdf. This works fine if I do so manually (open the xml file using Adobe Reader). However, through a browser, it seems that the forced content type is completely ignored:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xfa generator="XFA2_0" APIVersion="1.4.4127.0"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/">

Approach to parse large number of XML files into the relational table.

We are exploring the option of XML DB for processing a large number of files coming same day.
The objective is to parse the XML file and store in multiple relational tables. Once in relational table we do not care about the XML file.
The file can not be stored on the file server and need to be stored in a table before parsing due to security issues. A third party system will send the file and will store it in the XML DB.
File size can be between 1MB to 50MB and high performance is very much expected other wise the solution will be tossed.
Although we do not have XSD, the XML file is well structured. We are on 11g Release 2.
Based on the reading this is what my approach.
1. CREATE TABLE XML_DATA
(xml_col XMLTYPE)
XMLTYPE xml_col STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML;
2. Third party will store the data in XML_DATA table.
3. Create XMLINDEX on the unique XML element
4. Create views on XMLTYPE
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW V_XML_DATA(
Stype,
Mtype,
MNAME,
OIDT
AS
SELECT x."Stype",
x."Mtype",
x."Mname",
x."OIDT"
FROM data_table t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.data
COLUMNS Stype VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'Stype',
Mtype VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'Mtype',
MNAME VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MNAME',
OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x;
5. Bulk load the parse data in the staging table based on the index column.
Please comment on the above approach any suggestion that can improve the performance.
Thanks
AnuragT

I was not aware of Virtual column but looks like we can use it and avoid creating views by just inserting directly into
the staging table using virtual column.
Suppose OID id is the unique identifier of each XML FILE and I created virtual column
CREATE TABLE po_Virtual OF XMLTYPE
XMLTYPE STORE AS BINARY XML
VIRTUAL COLUMNS
(OID_1 AS (XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('/SectionMain/OID'
PASSING OBJECT_VALUE RETURNING CONTENT)
AS VARCHAR2(30))));
1. My question is how then I will write this query by NOT USING COLMUN XML_COL
SELECT x."SECTIONTYPE",
x."MACHINETYPE",
x."MACHINENAME",
x."OIDT"
FROM po_Virtual t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.xml_col <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
COLUMNS SectionType VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'SectionType',
MachineType VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'MachineType',
MachineName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MachineName',
OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x;
2. Insetead of creating the view then Can I do
insert into STAGING_table_yyy ( col1 ,col2,col3,col4,
SELECT x."SECTIONTYPE",
x."MACHINETYPE",
x."MACHINENAME",
x."OIDT"
FROM xml_data t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.xml_col <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
COLUMNS SectionType VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'SectionType',
MachineType VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'MachineType',
MachineName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MachineName',
OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x
where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';<--VIRTUAL COLUMN
insert into STAGING_table_yyy ( col1 ,col2,col3
SELECT x."SectionOID",
x."EventName",
x."OIDT"
FROM xml_data t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.xml_col <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
COLUMNS SectionOID PATH 'SectionOID',
EventName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'EventName',
OID VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID',
) x
where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';<--VIRTUAL COLUMN
Same insert for other tables usind the OID_1 virtual coulmn
3. Finaly Once done how can I delete the XML document from XML.
If I am using virtual column then I beleive it will be easy
DELETE table po_Virtual where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';
But in case we can not use the Virtual column how we can delete the data
Thanks in advance

FTP to Read content of Text/xml file

Hi,
I need a help for reading content of text/xml file through FTP. Below I just am explaining the scenario.
Our application server is in UNIX. Now we have to run a report program to access in to a FTP server which is in windows platform. Using FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND, FTP_DISCONNECT we are able to connect to FTP server and also able to copy files from FTP server to SAP application server. After copied in application server, we are able to read the content of the txt file in to internal table in ABAP program using OPEN DATASET. But our requirement is that we want to read the text or xml file content into internal table while accessing into FTP server from SAP application instead of after copying the file into application server.
So please help me to solve my problem.
-Pk

Thank you Bala,
But can you help me what should I pass against FNAME and CHARACTER_MODE Import parameter? Should I pass the full path of the file with name or only I have to pass file name ? For example if my text file name in FTP Server is test.txt and the IP of the ftp server is 10.10.2.3 then should I pass the value against FNAME as '
10.10.2.3\xyz\text.txt' ? Here xyz is the name of the directory in C drive where test.txt is exist.
Please help me.

Updating an XML file inside the Jar executable

Hello all!
I would like to ask how can i update an XML file that is packaged inside my jar file?
For intstance:
I have a Java Application in NetBeans
Inside a package i have constructed a custom .xml file.
I can read from this file using
.....getClass().getResourceAsStream("/.../file.xml")and after that using XPath for querying and works fine.
I want to update an entry in my xml file so the jar contains now the newly updated file.
Thanks everyone who spends his time to read this. Hope someone can help me.

Even if it were possible, it would be a bad idea. A jar file is something you deploy. It can be really hard to manage ongoing maintenance if the thing you deploy changes after you've deployed it.
Just create a file, in an appropriate place given the user's OS, to hold data that changes after the jar has been deployed. Your application will still be in a single jar; it's just that the application will happen to create additional content outside the jar.

Send updated xml file to the client with out any request

hi,
I am showing the data in the form of a table ,where the data are taken from a XML file. If i change the content of that XML file, the server should send the updated data to that client page, that means the client page should get refreshed automatically when there is a change in that XML file. I dont have any idea to implement this requirement.This is very urgent. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Already i have referred www.pushlets.com but that is not so clear. so pls............
With regards
Parameswaran

The client is not supposed to know the server. You will need to have a periodic refresh. :)

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the rows? Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ

Is a copy of .xml file on the iPod too? If so, how can I copy ONLY the .xml file to my computer and NOT have to copy all my music files too?

I had to re-load my OS (Windows XP Pro) from a HD snapshot via Acronis True Image Server. I save my OS on my C: drive and all my data files on my D: drive. So when I re-loaded my OS, I still have all of my music files intact.
I have re-loaded the OS before and had to re-create iTunes library which I did by doing the follwing:
1. cut & paste .xml file in iTunes folder to desktop
2. delete .itl file in iTunes folder
3. import .xml file through iTunes file>library>iport playlist
4. navigate to .xml file on desktop and import
This worked last time I re-loaded my OS but not this time for some reason.
So I'm wondering if there is a copy of the .xml file on the iPod itself in the iPod_Control folder that I can copy and paste to my comuter desktop and import via the above steps?
I have seen all kinds of solutions on the web that include copying the music files from the iPod to the computer. I don't need to do that. I have the music files. I just need the .xml file so iTunes can talk to my iPod (5th Generation - 30G).

Backup your music library, that is the only way to ensure it does not go missing through theft, damage, operator error, machine breaks, upgrades go wrong, operator goes wrong .........

Error while extracting XML file from the application server

Hi ,
I am writing a XML file into the application server, after which when i try to extract the file to the local server using the report - RFASLDPC ,
the file is extracted, but with a '#' symbol at the first position.
Because of which the XML File does not open. But after i open the file in notepad and manually delete the '#' symbol and then reopen the file, it works fine.
Is there any way to remove the '#' symbol while extracting itself ??
Thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Select the option "No Character Set Conversion" in stead of Code page 1100.
However, I still have troubles -> the downloaded xml file misses a space on several places. This causes errors too.

One possible option to parse an xml-file to a flex XML object:

                xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(source));
                  // Eventlistener: if URL loaded --> onLoadComplete function
                  xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoadComplete);
            public function xmlLoadComplete(evt:Event):void{
                var xml:XML = new XML();
                 // ignore comments in XML-File
                XML.ignoreComments = true;
                   //ignore whitespaces in XML-File
                 XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
                // XML-Objekt erstellen
                xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
               //AFTERWARDS use your xml as your wish

Upload an XML file into the Internal table

Hi Guys,
I want to know, how to upload an xml file into the Internal table through ABAP programming

you just wanted to load the xml file into internal table (as a table of binary strings)or load the xml data mapped to itab row columns
for the first one you can simply use gui_upload
and for the second one you need to load the xml file using gui_upload and use XLST program to transform into an itab

Creating XML files with the DME

Hi All,
I'm working on an integration project between my company and HSBC, they are requesting that we supply our AP payment files for foreign currency in XML format.
I have some limited experience with the DME and know it can create XML files, however, the elements available for XML files are different to standard flat files. Also it doesnt seem like I can create files with multiple levels? e.g.
<InitgPty>
......... <Id>
............... <OrgId>
...................... <BkPtyId>ABC00103003</BkPtyId>
.............. </OrgId>
........ </Id>
</InitgPty>
Does anyone have any documentation or experience with creating XML files with DME?
thanks
Phil.
