Calling a custom function from XSLT in SOA

I want to call a custom java method from an XSLT. The java method will calculate the power for the arguments passed and returns the power calculated.
Thanks
Cabo

It can be done by creating custom xpath function:

Erroring out when trying to call a custom function from the discoverer repo

Hi everybody, Thanks in advance....
I have a discoverer report giving the shelf life of an item.
The shelf life is to be calculated using a function.
Hence, a custom function is created. I registered the function using Discoverer Administrator Edition.
Then opened my desktop edition and opened the report.
Going to Tools > Calculations > New > Functions > Database > selected the function and changed the parameters passed to the function by going to Items selecting the columns from the tables they are available.
Now, when the query is refreshed, it comes up with an error "Function returns no value".
When tested from sql session, the function returns value.
any idea, as to whts the reason???
-- Kiran

Hi,
Have you validated the function in Discoverer administrator?
Is the function valid?
Have you manually defined the function details or imported directly from the database?
pls. let us know.

Newbie Help: Calling Java function from XSLT

Hi everyone!
I am trying to call a java function from my XSL file. like...
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java"
    xmlns:fn="http://www.my.com/xslt"
    exclude-result-prefixes="java fn">
<xsl:variable name="embeddedpic"
select="formData/instance/EmployeePicture" />
<xsl:variable name="pic" select="fn:com.my.utils.ConversionUtils.base64DecodeString($embeddedpic)"/>I am getting this exception in calling the above java function from my XSLT (XalanXPathException: The function number 'http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java:com.my.utils.ConversionUtils.base64DecodeString' is not available.)I have the function lib file in my classpath but still i am getting this error. Any info is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Try this.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:fn="com.my.utils" >
<xsl:variable name="pic" select="fn:ConversionUtils.base64DecodeString($embeddedpic)"/>
etc.
as long as your code is in the classpath it should find it.

Calling a java function from xquery

Hello,
I'm pretty new to ODSI and xquery, so forgive me if what I'm asking is too trivial, but I need to find a way to call a java function from inside xquery. I know xquery can do this through external functions, but can't find any example on how the query prolog declaration should be, nor how the function should look like. Could someone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Pedro Ivo

You can do this 2 ways that I know of (Mike probably has more ideas too)
1. Register an inversion function:
[How to use an inversion function|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13167_01/aldsp/docs32/dsp32wiki/Using%20Inverse%20Functions%20to%20Improve%20Query%20Performance.html]
2. Create a physical data service based on a java function. I have used this approach for both custom JDBC database operations and straight Java processing, with pretty good results.
Good luck,
Jeff

How to call a javascript function from XSL

I'd a requirement to take an action each time a page loads
I called the javascript function from addLoadEvent() available in javascript.
But my reviewer commented that it should be called using XSL as we are using XSLT,
What is preferred?
To pass function name to the already available function or somehow call it from xsl ? if second is preferred option then,
how to call a function through XSLT, if it is to be called aftr the page loads?

Thank u..

Problem with JCA calling to DB function from Service Bus

Hi there
I have managed to use JCA from the Service Bus on several tables, on some diferent Oracle databases and it worked OK.
Now, I try to use it with a DB function that I have defined. Calling to this function from any DB software returns good values.
But calling this function using JCA (adapter created with jDeveloper) on OSB gives me the correct answer except that instead of the data there are question marks, like +<param>???</param>+
The database encoding is ISO-8859 (by using "SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS") .
This encoding is the same as was on different databases that worked ok with other adapters, just not calling a DB function, but a custom SQL.
I would appreciate if anyone might know what can solve this ..
Thanks

Where are you checking the content of the XML?
It seems that platform's default encoding is not able to identify those characters and hence dispalying those as "???". Sometimes you get some invalid characters (like null), in the XML file and when platform's default encoding could not identify those characters then they get displayed like "?". Please check the content of the XML to verify it does not contain any invalid XML characters (sometims null). You may try to log the XML in database and in OSB to see it's content.

Call ALV custom function externally

Hi,
I am wondering whether it is possible to call a custom function of an ALV from a method because I don't want to repeat coding.
Best regards,
ts

Hi ts,
Option 1:
You can use class CL_SALV_WD_TABLE_FUNCTION to create object R_PARAM.
Sample Code:
          data lo_r_param type ref to cl_salv_wd_table_function.
           data lo_event      type ref to cl_wd_custom_event.
               "Create r_param object
               create object lo_r_param.
               "Create wdevent object & fill event parameters
               create object lo_event
               exporting
                    id = 'ADD' .
               WD_THIS->ON_ADD_LINE(
               exporting
                    wdevent = lo_event
                    r_param = lo_param ).
Note: here ON_ADD_LINE is the event handler method triggered for alv table function
Option 2
Also, you can make the parameter R_PARAM as optional in event handler method, so that you no need to pass r_param while calling the event handler method explicitly.
Hope this helps you.

Rama

How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression

Hi
In R12, in Payroll Deposit adivce/Check writer, We need to sort the earnings tag <AC_Earnings> in to two different categories as regular and other earnings. In the DB and form level of element defintiion we have a DFF which differentiates between the two kinds of earnings. But the seeded XML that is gerneated by the check writer does not have this field.
The seeded template displays all the earnings in one column. How can we achieve this in the template without modifying the seeded XML.
The one approach i have is to write a function and based on the return value sort the data. For this I need to know :

How can I call to my function from the attribute and display the returnes value in the page?
Thanks.

Thanks, but it doesn't work. I have an attribute called ID_BOL and I want to associate a sequence to that attribute. I've created a function, with the sequence. This function return de value of the sequence. I want taht the attribute takes the value of the sequenece dinamically.
I've tried it, creating the type attribute like PLSQL, and calling the function from the attribute, but it doesn't work.
How can I return the sequence value to my attribute?

Help needed in calling a javascript function from a jsp

Hey guys,
I need help.
In my jsp I have a field called date. When i get date field from the database, it is a concatination of date and time field, so I wrote a small javascript function to strip just the date part from this date and time value.
The javascript function is
function formatDate(fieldName)
          var timer=fieldName;
          timer = timer.substring(5,7)+"/"+timer.substring(8,10)+"/"+timer.substring(0,4);
          return timer;
Now I want to call this javascript function from the input tag in jsp where I am displaying the value of date. Check below
This is one way I tried to do:
<input size="13" name="startDate" maxLength="255" value=<script>formatDate("<%=startDate%>")</script> onChange="checkDate(this)">
I even tried this:
<input size="13" name="startDate" maxLength="255" value="'formatDate(<%=startDate%>)'" onChange="checkDate(this)">
But it dosen't work
Please help. I am struggling on this for days.
Thanks,

IP - Is it possible to call exit planning function from ABAP Report..

Hi All,
Greetings.
Is it possible to call exit planning function from ABAP Report (t-code SE38) ? Or I mean is not limited only to be called from ABAP Report, perhaps from BSP / Web-Dynpro / Function Module.
If somebody here has been doing it before, I'm keen to ask to kindly share it. Particularly how to call and transfer data to that exit function.
Or if somebody has done in BPS, appreciate if it can be shared too .
Thanks a lot and have a good day,
Best regards,
Daniel N.

Hi.
You can achive this as suggested by Mattias in your previous post.
Lets say you have next data structure:
CostCenter | Amount | PercentForDistibution |
Create input ready query in this format. Restrict cost center by variable type range.
Create WAD with analysis item.
When you run web page you enter range of cost centers (lets say you will enter 101004 to 101010).
I assume you have data only for 101004 in your cube (lets say 1000).
You will see only one record in your webpage.
CostCenter | Amount | PercentForDistibution |
101004       | 1000     | NOTHING
When you create WAD in analysis item properties set "NUMBER_OF_NEW_LINES" to lets say 1 (so in WAD you will see always one blank line for entering new data).
Just add 6 new records:
CostCenter | Amount   | PercentForDistibution |
101005       | NOTHING| 10
101006       | NOTHING| 30
101007       | NOTHING| 20
101008       | NOTHING| 25
101009       | NOTHING| 5
101010       | NOTHING| 10
Then run planning FOX function like this:
FOREACH Z_COST_CENTER.
IF {Amount, Z_COST_CENTER} <> 0
Z_AMNT_TO_DISTRIBUTE = {Amount, Z_COST_CENTER}.
ENDIF.
ENDFOR.
FOREACH Z_COST_CENTER.
IF {PercentForDistibution Z_COST_CENTER} <> 0.
{Amount, Z_COST_CENTER} = Z_AMNT_TO_DISTRIBUTE * {PercentForDistibution Z_COST_CENTER}.
ENDIF.
ENDFOR.
It is not perfect FOX, but as an idead, it should work.
Regards.

How to call pl/sql function from element values

EBS 11.5.10.2
XMLP 5.6.3
Hello,
I noticed that the output of the rdf-to-data template conversion process makes use of an undocumented feature of data templates, and I would like to get input from experts as to which situations this feature is usable.
The closest thing I can find in the documentation is a sample in the user guide. There is a "General Ledger Journals Data Template Example" that has a <dataStructure> section that contains <element> nodes which are NOT children of a <group> node. I can't find any explanation of this in the user guide.
I've noticed from converted templates that in these un-grouped elements you can make calls to PL/SQL functions in the "value" attribute, like this:
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_LINES" source="Q_MAIN">
    <element name="Line_Num"           value="Line_Num"/>
</group>
<element name="C_CALCULATED_VALUE" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
</dataStructure>Has anyone had any success being able to call PL/SQL functions from grouped elements? Whenever I try, it doesn't seem to work.
When I try something like this:
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_LINES" source="Q_MAIN">
    <element name="Line_Num"           value="Line_Num"/>
    <element name="some_calculation"   value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
    <element name="some_calculation_b" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION_B(:Line_Num)"/>
</group>
<element name="C_CALCULATED_VALUE" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.SOME_FUNCTION"/>
</dataStructure>The <SOME_CALCULATION/> and <SOME_CALCULATION_B/> nodes come out empty in the output data xml file, but <C_CALCULATED_VALUE> would have a value as desired.

ah - perfect. That makes sense. Thank you for the response!
But what about when we need to pass parameters to those functions whos values are the results of aggregate element values?
This happens a lot in the converted data templates, where pl/sql package functions are meant to replace formula columns from the original Oracle Report. Take this example from the conversion of ARXAGMW.rdf (Aging Report, 7 Buckets):
(note the function call in the value of "Set_Percent_Inv_Inv" is using aggregate results from subgroups)
<group name="G_INV_INV" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_Amt" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B0" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B0"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B1" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B1"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B2" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B2"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B3" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B3"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B4" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B4"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B5" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B5"/>
    <element name="Total_Inv_Inv_B6" function="sum" dataType="number" value="G_Invoice.C_Inv_B6"/>
    <element name="Set_Percent_Inv_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.set_percent_inv_invformula(:Total_Inv_Inv_Amt, :Total_Inv_Inv_B0, :Total_Inv_Inv_B1, :Total_Inv_Inv_B2, :Total_Inv_Inv_B3, :Total_Inv_Inv_B4, :Total_Inv_Inv_B5, :Total_Inv_Inv_B6)"/>
    <element name="Sum_Percent_B0_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.Sum_Percent_B0_Inv_p"/>
    <element name="Sum_Percent_B1_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.Sum_Percent_B1_Inv_p"/>
    <element name="Sum_Percent_B2_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.Sum_Percent_B2_Inv_p"/>
    <element name="Sum_Percent_B3_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.Sum_Percent_B3_Inv_p"/>
    <element name="Sum_Percent_B4_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.Sum_Percent_B4_Inv_p"/>
    <element name="Sum_Percent_B5_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.Sum_Percent_B5_Inv_p"/>
    <element name="Sum_Percent_B6_Inv" dataType="number" value="XX_CUSTOMPROCS.XXC_ARXAGMW.Sum_Percent_B6_Inv_p"/>
    <group name="G_Cust_Inv" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
      <group name="G_Site_Inv" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
        <group name="G_1" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
          <group name="G_Invoice" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_Invoice">
            <element name="C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv" dataType="number" value="C_Amt_Due_Rem_Inv"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B0" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B0"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B1" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B1"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B2" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B2"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B3" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B3"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B4" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B4"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B5" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B5"/>
            <element name="C_Inv_B6" dataType="number" value="C_Inv_B6"/>
          </group>
        </group>
      </group>
    </group>
</group>
...All of these groups and sub-groups are based on one single query, so I am not sure how I would move the function call into the query without changing the results of the function.
In the example above, elements Sum_Percent_B0_Inv through Sum_Percent_B6_Inv grab the results of the calculation done in set_percent_inv_invformula. Here is the essence of that function:
sum_percent_b0_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b0 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b1_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b1 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b2_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b2 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b3_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b3 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b4_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b4 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b5_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b5 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);
sum_percent_b6_inv := ROUND ((total_inv_inv_b6 / total_inv_inv_amt) * 100, 2);The only solution I can think of is to have separate queries, one for each subgroup, that do the "sum" in sql; but that seems terribly inefficient.

Can I call a C function from Java (using JNI) ??

hello,
I need to call one C function from remote device and get its return value(o/p) (for my application it is device SSID ) and display in the client PC.
Is it possible in java without using SNMP connction?.
please give me idea about it.
I need this information as soon as possible.
Thank you.

see JNI...
basically declare a native method in your java class, then run javah on the class thus generating a *.h file. Then implement the c/c++ function. Compile the c/c++ part as a shared library, and make sure its accessible from your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable.
Go through the steps in the JNI docs, and things shoulde be fine... hopefully ;)
