Business component xml files

I'm researching which files of an adf/bc application should go into version control and came across this piece in the developer's guide:
4.4.7.2 Recommendation for Disabling Use of Package XML File
By default, for upward compatibility with previously releases of Oracle ADF,
JDeveloper maintains an XML file in each directory containing the names of the Oracle
ADF business components that reside in that package. While previously required by
the ADF runtime classes, this package XML file is optional in this version. Since
maintaining this "package XML" file can complicate team development, Oracle
recommends you disable the use of any package XML files by setting the Copy
Package XML Files to Class Path option off in the Business Components: General
panel of the IDE preferences as shown in Figure 4–6.
I'm using 10.1.3.2. I disabled this option thinking that when i created an entity object in a particular package that a corresponding xml file for that entity would not be added to that package. However, the xml file for the entity is still being generated in the package. Am I misunderstanding something here? Also, does anyone know of a 'definitive' list of files for an adf/bc app and created with jdev that would not ordinarily be added to version control? I'm interested in only adding to version control those files necessary for the app to build and run, not ide specific files. Thanks.

Hi,
its a different file this refers to. You don't switch off the XML generated for the components.

Unable to import package. This file is not a Business Components XML file

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 9.0.3(Build 1325) and trying to extend a VO. Project > Import Business Components and select the VO, AM or EO xml because Sourcing Negotiation creation does not have a server.xml and I am getting the following message "Unable to import package. This file is not a Business Components XML file.". Should I make something else to enable extension?? Does a patch required to make extensions. Any help would be appreciated.

What I know is that server.xml is not a must. This is the easiest way to import appropriate xml files. My question is, when I am trying to Project>Import Business Components > xxxVO.xml I am getting the above error although the xxxVO.xml is a Business Component. I wanna know that should some patch be applied to Jdeveloper (Build 1325)?? (by the way at first I tried with Build 1312 and the same error raised)

Opening Region, Page and Business Component XML causes unusual errors.

Hi
I'm a bit new to extending E-Business Suite, so apologies if this is a bit unclear.
1. I have set up JDeveloper according to the docs and that seems OK
2. I have copied the entire oracle/apps/icx java tree from $JAVA_TOP
3. I have exported all /oracle/apps/icx PG and RN xml files
Now when I try and open a PG.xml I get a load of the following errors:
Invalid value "/oracle/apps/icx/lov/webui/UnNumberLovRN" for property "External LOV" on component "/oracle/apps/icx/por/req/webui/CheckoutSummaryPG.UnNumber". Component "/oracle/apps/icx/lov/webui/UnNumberLovRN" cannot be referenced from "/oracle/apps/icx/por/req/webui/CheckoutSummaryPG.UnNumber" because it violates scope restrictions.
I also have a problem importing Business Components. When right click on the jpx and select "Import Business Components", then select my server.xml file, I get the following error:
"Unable to import package. This is not a valid Business Components XML file."
Am I doing this wrong or is there something afoot?
I am using JDeveloper: 9.0.3.5 Build 1312 from the patch
We are on 11.5.10.1 plus some patches.
Any help most appreciated!!!
Thanks
Chris

you can ignore the warnings you get for the page xml files.
You need to mention which version of jdev are you using ? Did you try opening the server.xml directly ?

SAP Business Connector XML File processing

Hi All,
we're using SAP Business Connector to process XML Files (from NON-SAP system).
XML-Files are mapped to IDOCs and sent to our sap-system in order to create purchase orders.
Let's say we have 3 Purchase Orders (XML) in our SAP BC input directory,
the first purchase order has a header text (customer field), the following 2 dont. After processing the xml-files all 3 Idocs have the same header text of the first purchase order.
How can i change this behaviour?
Regards
REA

Hello Ramy,
You have to check this logic of t BC. if you want to check the Idocs then goto WE02 in SAP.
if you are using message type PORDCR1 then check segment E1BPMEPOTEXTHEADER or PORDCR thne check segment E1BPEKPOTX

Jdev 10.1.2 Add Business Component Issue

Error appearing is "Unable to load Business Components. The package xml file is not in the proper package".
Under Jdev 9.0.5.2 you could create a business component then with that item highlighted select 'x' on the navigator toolbar to remove the Business Component from the project (Not erased). To add the same item back into the project you highlighted the package, selected '+' on the navigator toolbar highlighted the Business Component source files then click open then yes.
Under JDev 10.1.2.0.0 doing the same does not work. The business component is correctly removed from the project but there seems to be no way to add it back to the project/package (error above always appears).
Has anybody else seen this issue ?
I am mid-way through a major schema refactor and this is causing a big problem.

Based on the package (see FullName below), the metadata file would be called package.xml in this case.
It is there the Containee entries would be added.
For an Entity Object
<Containee
Name="YourEntityObject"
FullName="com.site.package.YourEntityObject"
ObjectType="Entity" >
</Containee>
For a View Object
<Containee
Name="YourViewObject"
FullName="com.site.package.YourViewObject"
ObjectType="ViewObject" >
</Containee>
where
YourEntityObject
- Name of the entity object business component to be added
(This may be based on a number of seperate files such as YourEntityObject.xml, YourEntityObject.java, YourEntityObjectRow.java etc, depending on options taken at design time).
YourViewObject
- Name of the view object business component to be added
(This may be based on a number of seperate files such as YourViewObject.xml, YourViewObject.java, YourViewObjectRow.java etc, depending on options taken at design time).

Issue Connecting from Oracle Business Component Browser - adf-config.xml

There are similar posts in the forum to this, but I wasn't able to glean from them what I should do.
Essentially, I tried Connecting by:
right clicking on a node under a Model project, and selected TEST.
When the Oracle Business Component Browser - Connect Dialog window opened, I clicked CONNECT.The Oracle Business Component Browser (Local) seems to have opened fine, but in the message log I see this:
"jar:file:/C:/JDeveloper/jdev/doc/studio_doc/ohj/bc4j_f1.jar!/bc4j_f1.hs"
Feb 10, 2007 10:16:30 AM oracle.adf.share.config.ADFConfigFactory findOrCreateADFConfig
INFO: oracle.adf.share.config.ADFConfigFactory No META-INF/adf-config.xml found
I'm not experienced enough to know whether this is significant or not, nor if so what I need to do about this.
Thank you to anyone who can help a newer person out with this.

Hi,
the adf-config.xaml file is not created by default and not needed by default. you need this to define custom skins or ADF Security.
For an example of adfs-config.xml doe skins see SRDemo sample app

How to populate list component via xml file?

There is a TextArea component that should show the name and
the description of the item selected in the list component. But I
dont know how to populate list with external XML and what should be
the coding in flash as well as what should be written in the XML.
Please help.

Here's an xml file listing a couple of brother comedy teams:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<team>
<brothers>
<Marx>
<name>Groucho</name>
<name>Chico</name>
<name>Harpo</name>
<name>Zeppo</name>
<name>Gummo</name>
</Marx>
<Howard>
<name>Moe</name>
<name>Curly</name>
<name>Shemp</name>
</Howard>
</brothers>
</team>
Open a new .fla and save it in the same folder as the .xml
file. Place a List Component on the Stage and name it (in this
case, "comicTeams_list"). In the first frame write the following
ActionScript:
//create XML object and load external xml file
var broList:XML = new XML();
broList.ignoreWhite = true;
broList.onLoad = processList; // this is a function that will
be written below
broList.load("populateList.xml");
function processList(success:Boolean):Void{
if(success){
loadList();
}else{
trace("Load failure");
function loadList():Void{
var broName:String;
var listEntries =
broList.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes.length;
for(var i:Number = 0;i<listEntries;i++){
broName =
broList.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes
.childNodes[0].nodeValue;
trace(broName);
comicTeams_list.addItem(broName);
//to make something happen when you click on a name in the
List, create a Listener and function
var broListListener:Object = new Object();
broListListener.change = someAction; //"someAction" is a
function to be written shortly
//add the Listener to the List
comicTeams_list.addEventListener("change", broListListener);
function someAction(evtObj:Object):Void{
var pickedBrother:String = evtObj.target.selectedItem.label;
//write actions here, referencing pickedBrother variable
The names of the Marx Brothers will appear in the box.
This is written in AS2. When you post a question, it's a good
idea include which version of ActionScript you're using.

A few questions about using an XML file to add text into a TextArea component set as html

I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.
I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?
Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried and   without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.

flash doesn't handle nested lists (as you now know). you can work-around that limitation using css and creating your own indent styles. css have a marginLeft property you can use.

Tree component and loading xml files into text field

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my issue....
I am making a simple self help application. I have a tree component that loads the different catagories and topics for my help app dynamically via an xml file...no issues there.
I then want it so that when the user cliecks on the actual topic that the TextArea component will load the info from another xml file using the name of the topic as the name of the xml file to make it that much easier for anyone to maintain this program.
So far the code i have is this.
myTreeListener.change = function(eventObject)
    var theSelectedNode = eventObject.target.selectedNode;
    var theSelectedNodeLabel = theSelectedNode.attributes.label;
    topicTextArea.text +=
I am a little fuzzy when it comes to loading the xml file in. Should i be loading html instead of xml is my other question as well?
Thanks in advance for your help
FG

Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

HOw to update XML file residing in DAM by component JSP in run-time?

i have made a component which reads xml file residing in DAM.
Content Author can fill some values in dialog of this component, as soon as author provide the values,i have to update these values in XML file and component reloadsby reading the updated xml file.
i am trying to achieve this by making object of XML file and giving it's path., but i ma unable to access the XML file.
Can anyone help me out to how to update XML file by component JSP in run-time?

Now the changed data must be exported back into the XML file, meaning that the content of certain elements must be updated. How can this be done with XSLT?
XSLT approach: check these online tutorial
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/02/xslt/index.html
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/06/07/transforming/index.html
ABAP approach:
for example you have the xml (original) in a string called say xml_out .
data: l_xml type ref to cl_xml_document ,
        node type ref to if_ixml_node .
create object l_xml.
call method l_xml->parse_string
exporting
    stream = xml_out.
node = l_xml->find_node(
    name   = 'IDENTITY'
   ROOT   = ROOT
l_xml->set_attribute(
    name    = 'Name'
    value   = 'Charles'
    node    = node
(the above example reads the element IDENTITY and sets attribute name/value to the same)
like wise you can add new elements starting from IDENTITY using various methods available in class CL_XML_DOCUMENT
so how do I access the XML file in order to update it?
you have already read this XML into a ABAP variable right?
Sorry couldnt understand your whole process, why do you need to read local XML file?

Hello,
possible solution:
1. create a remote function module (FM) in SAP which returns your needed data
2. create outbound map in BC for this FM
3. call this FM from BC in a flow
3. extract the result to XML (e.g. with service recordToDocument)

Unable to create Magnetic Media xml file.(Able to see Business No Summary)

Dear All,
I am trying to create Magnetic Media File of T4 forms to submit to CRA. I could successfully do this in Sandbox machine but when I tried the same in QA after simulating the year end updates the same way as they were in Sandbox .... it doesnt work in QA.
I am able to view the Business summary with the Total amounts of deductions. It says 10 slips successfully produced. When I go check the downloaded xml file, I am unable to view the 10 files data in the xml file.
Can you let me know what might be the possible reason?
Regards,

I could solve it myself by downloading recent CRA files.

Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin

Hi ,
We have a catalog that defines 2 types of products (they have too many different properties), so wanted to keep them on two different MDEX engines and serve the applications requests. Here DB catalog and front end ATG application is same for both the MDEX instances.
Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin?
Thanks
Dev

Hi, also have had some problem some monthes ago - I created separete component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdminSecond. After that one of my colleage gave me some advice:
The creating separate component like ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin for the second IOC is possible way for resolving your situation. But I afraid that this way will be required creating mane duplicates for already existed components.
In my opinion the better way is the following:
starting from AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration component. It contains details for connecting between ATG and Endeca. Of course you should configure different components for different Endeca Apps.
After that:
Find all components that uses AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration. Customize these components for using one or another *Configuration component depending on what index works. (many variants released it: the most simple global custom component with flag.)
Then customize the existed ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin. Using one or another IOC and setting the flag in global custom component when index started. You can add some methods into your custom ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin like:
Execute baseline index for both IOC (one by one)
Execute baseline for IOC 1
Execute baseline for IOC 2.
Note: you should be afraid about incremental (partial) index in this configuration. But resolving conflicts in incremental index should be done after full implementation these changes.
