Can Discoverer be used as an XML Data source for XMLP ?

I am wondering if Discoverer can generate an XML Data Source for XMPL.
I have heard that Discoverer Viewer can have XML as an output. Is there a way of using this XML output with XMLP and, if yes, how to batch both steps ?

Hi
My understanding is that Discoverer does not generate XML data as an ouput that XMLP can consume. The XML is does generate is actually an XML RDF for Oracle Reports.
XMLP is integrated thou, when you export your Disco report to PDF thats XMLP doing the conversion to PDF for you.

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

XML data source for grid

I am using web services to read an XML file that contains a schema. I am using the input as the data source for a grid. When the grid is populated it does not appear that the schema is interpreted. All the decimal values are presented as strings and are not sorted correctly. Is there something specific that I need to do to invoke the schema?

Worst forums ever! Nobody can help with the insertion of a
currencyvalidator in a datagrid itemeditor?

How to use web service as data source for forge or endeca ?

hi,
is there any way to use webservice as data source in pipeline ?
i have requirment to get data from web service and dump it in endeca. for this i need some idea on how can be this achieved. is it possible to do so?

Crawling is part of the CAS, which is kind of the data ingest process in Endeca as you would know. There are a bunch of OOTB Crawlers available like FileSystem based, XML Crawlers, etc., and there could be a case where you have to write your own and thats what I am suggesting because the XML crawl thats OOTB expects a specific format which isnt really mentioned in the Documentation. Please refer to CASDevGuide for more information. CAS, PlatformServices and ToolsAndFrameworks should be running when you start off with Endeca, you can see that from
ps -ef | grep java

Using Web Service a Data Source for my Report

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a Web service as a PDS for my Oracle9ias reports.
I have a few questions on this.
1) Can the webservice Return a Complex data type e.g java.util.Vector? If Yes, How does the report extract data frm the Vecor?
2) If the first option isn't feasible, Can I go for a array of objects as return values provided those objects are serializable?Again how would the report extract data from array of objects?
3) OR is it advisable to go for Document style web service that returns me an XML document?

Ritesh

Using COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for WebI...?

I saw a job posting today that listed a requirement that I am pretty sure is IMPOSSIBLE...
WebIntelligence report experience with using COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for BOBJ is an important skill.
Data sources for client will be both COGNOS and SAP.
Now, it wouldn't be the first time that a client spec asked for the IMPOSSIBLE- but it got me to wondering if maybe I am wrong in my understanding that COGNOS 8 still uses PowerPlay cubes that are 100% proprietary and can only be read with the CONGOS report-design tools.
Is there actually a "supported" way to use COGNOS as an infoprovider/data source for BOBJ...?
Maybe using some COGNOS equivalent of QAAS...?
I have no intention of applying for this job - but would like to know if it is technically possible.

It's been more than a week since I posted this question and nobody came up with a "YES" here or on the BOB Forums...so I am going to close this question as an IMPOSSIBLE request.
Based on the current technology - COGNOS cubes can not be used as an infoprovider/data source for WebIntelligence.

XML data source in OBI-EE

Hi,
Simple question.
Can an XML file be used directly as a data source for reporting in OBIEE or do we need to import the file in a database table first ?

do you have the sample sales RPD? The sample sales is derived fom an XML source.
Thus you don't need to import a file into the database.

Hi all,
Can somebody say which is the correct data source for MTTR/MTBR. I'm trying to use 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF. But it doesn't have fields for start & end date, time of malfunction. But these fields are mapped in standard infosource 2LIS_17_NOTIF.
With regards,

We are using 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF and it has both AUZTB (Malfunc end) and AUZTV (Malfunc Start)....check again.

PO delivery schedule lines are first consolidated in an ODS through data from the InfoSources Purchasing Data (Document Schedule Line Level) as of 2.0B (2LIS_02_SCL) and Offsetting Confirmation and Goods Receipt (2LIS_02_SGR).

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/41/2b52e35f153014e10000000a114e5d/content.htm
Do look for the dataflow/network diagram for 0PUR_C10 in Metadata Repository - you can find the BContent Flow.
<i>2. plz tell me , what are master data info objects in BW side for MM data ?</i>
Right click on ODS's & Cubes in MM - Infosource Overview - This will give the list of loadable data targets for associated Datatargets.
Go to RSA5 search for the datasources.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.

Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Fill in form using XML data source usable in Reader

I have a simple example of a scenario we need to solve. Different branches will fill out a form (designed in LiveCycle 8) and by entering their branch number static information will be filled in. I want to store the static infomation for all branches in an XML sheet that will be stored on a shared folder on the intranet.
The problem I have is getting the script to run in Reader. In preview in the Designer and using the import data function of Acrobat Pro it works fine. I think I am missing the script to import the data to work in Reader. I have not been able to find anything in the documentation to point me in the right direction. I have also had a case open with Adobe support for 2 months.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kris
Below is the script in the exit event of the Text field BranchNumber:
----- BranchInfo.#subform[0].BranchNumber::exit: - (FormCalc, client) ------------------------------
xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form.BranchInfo.#subform[0].Party_Code")
Party_Code.clearItems()
var BList = ref(record.Branches)
for j=0 upto (BList.nodes.length -1) do
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Ph") = BList.nodes.item(2).name
if (BList.nodes.item(j).BranchCode.value == $) then
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Full_Company_Address") = BList.nodes.item(j).Full_Address.value
var List = ref(BList.nodes.item(j).SPCS)
if (List.nodes.length == 1) then
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Party_Code") = BList.nodes.item(j).SPCS.SPC.value
elseif (List.nodes.length > 1) then
for i=0 upto List.nodes.length -1 do
BranchInfo.#subform[0].Party_Code.addItem(List.nodes.item(i).value,"")
endfor
endif
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Ph") = BList.nodes.item(j).PH.value
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Fax") = BList.nodes.item(j).FAX.value
xfa.resolveNode("BranchInfo.#subform[0].Member") = BList.nodes.item(j).Member.value
break
endif
endfor
Below is the xml data file for this test:

Hi Jeroen,
to have a user fill in, you first need to create a Web Dynpro application providing the offline form, e.g. through a download - tutorial at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/2dd3dbcd-0401-0010-55b8-b10808ff688e - or an e-mail - tutorial at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/b040e6cd-0401-0010-268d-f67cf4904358
On the return trip, the user-entered data is stored in the SAP backend via the Web Dynpro context. (You do not store the raw XML, the data is back-converted by ADS to Java.)
In the fourth step, you will have to provide a Web Dynpro
application with an online form, which can be part of the same project, but basically generates the form again for completion.
If you want to use the same form that was submitted, you have to have your app store the submitted PDF (do not submit only the XML) in the backend (through the WD context), and then call that one up in the online scenario.
Cheers,
Markus

Needing to use xml data source to populate richfaces tree nodes

Hey I cant seem to figure this out. I know I probably need to write some java code but Im not sure how it should look. I have some xml and I need to use the data from within the elements to populate some nodes on a richfaces tree.
I know how to use a .properties file as the data source for the nodes, and how to use some existign nodes to populate the nodes. Both are done with java code I can post here if needed.
But I dont know how to go about writing the java code to take the data from xml elements, and then somehow parse it to use in a richfaces tree.
Here is some info on what Im using with my project:
eclipse
simplexml
httpclient
jsf
richfaces library

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.
