Applying REGEX-pattern into XML File

I have the following problem:
I have an xml-file. let's say...
<NODE><NODE1 attr1="a1" attr2="a2">
 <NAME> abc</NAME>
 <VERSION> 1.0</VERSION>
</NODE1>
<NODE2 attr1="a3" attr2="a4">
 <NAME> xyz</NAME>
 <VERSION> 3.1</VERSION>
</NODE2></NODE>I need to know "HOW can I get the values of <NAME></NAME> and <VERSION></VERSION> without using DOM.
Since my xml-file is pretty big and DOM will take much Memory, i want to avoid it.
Can anybody suggest some "Regex pattern" so that i can apply it on the xml-file (after converting into String)
Thanks in Advance

That worked perfectly. I assumed ( insert comment here ) that the members of the Properties objects were Strings, and therefore followed the same rules where "\" characters are concerned.
Thank you for pointing out the difference between the two objects, I am not sure how long it would have taken me to figure that out.

Why we need to conver Context Node data into XML file----Export to Excel

Hi All,
Let me clarify my dought........today i have gone through the concept of "Exporting Context Data Using the Webdynpro Binary cache" in SAP Online Help.
From the SAP Online Help pdf document, i have found that, the context node data has been converted first in to XML file,after that file had been stored in the web dynpor binary cache...bla....bla.........
Here my qtn is why they had converted context node data into XML file. With out doing that can not we export context node data to excel file..?

Hi Sesshanna,
it is not neccessary to do that but xml has the advantage, that it can be easily transformed into every output format that might occur in later project stages.
If it's simply about blowing out some Excel, I suggest using an OSS library such as jexcelAPI or Jakarta POI and building the Excel how you need it.

Insert Encoding tag into xml file. ?xml version="1.0"?

I am using oracle 10g.
I am using dbms_xmlgen.getxml function to generate xml data for oracle tables. I use utl_file to write data back into xml file.
Oracle is generating the file in the following manner...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<RSLT_ID>1</RSLT_ID>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
I want to change the following xml header to have encoding information in it as follows...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding = "AL32UTF8"?>
How do I achieve that?
Any suggestions?

I want to change the following xml header to have encoding informationIn 10g I think you could use a xmlroot hack:
SQL> select xmlroot(xmlelement(e, dummy), version '1.0" encoding="AL32UTF8') xml from dual
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="AL32UTF8"?>
<E>X</E>
1 row selected.

you will require to write a module in your file adapter for the same.
ref: /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/04/read-excel-instead-of-xml-through-fileadapter as mentioned in the earlier post.
Else you can also use Conversion Agent to read the same.

Can i download whole WD Abap scenario into XML File ?

Hi,
Experts,
I want to download the WD( Web Dynpro ) Abap scenario into Xml file from one SAP server. by upload this xml file into another server(uploaded server) to create the WD abap scenario as it is in downloaded server. As like we download the report into xml using ' cl_gui_frontend_services ' class.
through Transporting the request into that upload server i can do that but the thing is there is not communication between these systems. for that i am searching in this way.
Thank you,
Shabeer ahmed

Hi Shabeer,
This feature is not currently in the standard system. However there is a beta version of a plugin for exporting and importing Web Dynpro ABAP components.You would have to use the SAPLink program (ZSAPLINK) to export and import objects. Please go through this link to download the necessary stuff.
[http://code.google.com/p/saplink/|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/]
For any problems while uploading these nuggets into SAP you can post your queries [here|www.saplink.org]. Also refer to Thomas Jung's comments in [here|How to install the SAPlink plugins;.

Outbound oracle data into xml file

Hi Odie,
Your previous inputs for xml inbound was working fine, in the similar way now I need outbound the oracle apps data into .xml file format. For that I've written one sample script like this. I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.
declare
l_log_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_log_name varchar2(50);
l_path_2 varchar2(40);
l_global_file varchar2(50);
l_time number:=1;
cursor cur1 is
select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual;
--select menu_id from fnd_menus where rownum<100;
begin
BEGIN
SELECT DECODE (INSTR (VALUE, ','),
0, VALUE,
SUBSTR (VALUE, 1, (INSTR (VALUE, ',', 1)) - 1)
INTO l_path_2
FROM v$parameter
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Error while getting Unix Path ' || SQLERRM);
END;
l_log_name := 'XGBIZ_'||TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYMMDD')||l_time;
l_log_name := CONCAT(l_log_name,'.xml');
l_global_file := l_log_name;
l_log_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(l_path_2,l_log_name,'W');
for cur2 in cur1 loop
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(l_log_handle, cur2);
end loop;
utl_file.fclose_all;
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Operation For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Path For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Mode For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid File Handle '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Write Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Read Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Internal Error');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Other Error '||'SQL CODE: '||SQLCODE||' Messg: '||SQLERRM);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
end;
when running this script I am getting error
ERROR at line 30:
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PUT_LINE'
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
if in the cursor declaration happen to use 'select menu_id from fnd_menus ' a plain record then it is successfully creating.
If tried again revert to actual select statement ' select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual'
then its erring out as above said.
Please give me your valuable inputs in this regard.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are multiple ways to generate XML documents from relational data.
Here are some :
-- SQL/XML functions : XMLElement, XMLAgg, XMLAttributes etc.
-- DBMS_XMLGEN package
select dbms_xmlgen.getXML('SELECT * FROM scott.emp')
from dual;-- XMLType constructor over a REF CURSOR (the one you chose)
select xmlserialize(document
 xmltype(
 cursor(
 select *
 from scott.emp
 as clob
from dual;-- From a DBUriType
select xmlserialize(document
 dburitype('/SCOTT/EMP').getXML()
 as clob
from dual;-- From XQuery using ora:view function
select xmlserialize(document
 xmlquery('<ROWSET>{ora:view("SCOTT","EMP")}</ROWSET>' returning content)
 as clob indent size = 1
from dual;If a column is NULL in the result set, those methods (except XMLElement) won't create the corresponding element.
There's an option available for the XQuery method, but only in version 11.2.
So if you want to output empty elements, you'll have to use DBMS_XMLGEN with setNullHandling method :
DECLARE
ctx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
v_out CLOB;
rc SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN rc FOR
SELECT *
FROM scott.emp
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(rc);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setNullHandling(ctx, DBMS_XMLGEN.EMPTY_TAG);
v_out := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
DBMS_XMLGEN.closeContext(ctx);
CLOSE rc;
DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file(v_out, 'TEST_DIR', 'test_out.xml');
END;
I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.You could, but you might find DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file procedure more convenient for that (see above).
All you have to do is serializing the XML in a CLOB variable, and call the procedure.
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';The "utl_file_dir" init. parameter is deprecated since 10g, use directory objects instead.

Howto transform a Sales Order (idoc) into xml file and download it?

I need to tranform a Sales order into an xml file such that I could download the file onto my disk. I try to transform an IDOC.
I do the following from an example and I get an xml document on screen but I do get get any file downloaded:
DATA: document TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
document = g_ixml->create_document( ).
DATA: ostream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.
ostream = g_stream_factory->create_ostream_uri(
system_id = 'file://C:\test.xml' ).
DATA: renderer TYPE REF TO if_ixml_renderer, rc TYPE i.
renderer = g_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = ostream
document = document ).
rc = renderer->render( ).
document->render( ostream = ostream recursive = ' ').
Is there something else I should do? Is there another approach for transforming a sales order to an xml file.
The R/3 4.6 system is used.
Thank you
-eglese-

Hi Eglese,
Another option could be to use XML port configured for the IDOC and use the XML files generated be extracted from Web Dynpro using a file download UI element.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
Here is a small sample program to convert data in an internal table into XML format and display it.
DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF spfli,
 l_xml TYPE REF TO cl_xml_document.
* Read data into a ITAB
SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE itab.
* Create the XML Object
CREATE OBJECT l_xml.
* Convert data in ITAB to XML
CALL METHOD l_xml->create_with_data( name = 'Test1'
 dataobject = t_goal[] ).
* Display XML Document
CALL METHOD l_xml->display.
Here are some other sample SAP programs to handle XML in ABAP:
BCCIIXMLT1, BCCIIXMLT2, and BCCIIXMLT3.
Hope this helps,
