Change xml tags?

Hi Guys!
I'm supposed to send a message to a web service as an XML.
The problem is that when I send the message, the tags are changed to <ns0:BuyerNumber>. Is it possible to change the tag to <BuyerNumber>???
Another problem that I have is that the XML file is going to be linked to a XLS file. Is there a way to add <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='www.example.com/example.xsl'?> to the outgoing message?

I want to take this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Mottaxxxxx2 xmlns:ns0="http://www.example.com/XMLSchema">
<ns0:Interchange>
and change it to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='www.example.com/test.xls' ?>
<Mottaxxxxx2 xmlns:ns0="http://www.example.com/XMLSchema">
<Interchange>
As you can see, the ns0: is removed and
there is a stylesheet added to the xml.
Since I am quite new with this, can you please give a detailed solution. Not step by step guide, but close

How to change XML Tag sequence in XML Publisher Reports

Hi Experts,
I am working on XML Publisher reports, EBS 11I and Database 9i. I have standard report 'PO Printed Purchase Order Report (XML)', it's output type is XML. I want to change the sequence of groups in XML file.
I am getting XML tags like below at present:
LIST_G_HEADERS \ G_HEADERS \ LIST_G_HEADER_NOTES
I want to change the sequence of groups like below.
LIST_G_HEADERS \ G_HEADERS \ LIST_G_LINES \
Could somebody help me how to change the sequence of XML Groups.
Thanks in advance.

Paul,
This works. Thanks!
I am still working through the implications of having a data connection defined. I notice that every time I submit, it creates two records in my database, one with all the fields blank, and one with the data and attachment.
I will have to do some more digging into the double submission, but at least it is uploading the file.
Thanks again,
Ed

Change XML Tags Parse Date

I need to change tags or elements in XML that is exported from Access to to put data into a calendar.
This:
<Courses>
<Date>3/04/2009</Date>
<Title>Ocean Star Museum FENG 1001</Title>
<Description>Galveston Offshore Rig Museum</Description>
</Courses>
To this:
<events>
    <event>
        <month>3</month>
        <day>4</day>
        <year>2009</year>
        <text>Ocean Star Museum FENG 1001</text>
        <popuplink/>
        <style/>
        <tooltip/>
        <script/>
    </event>
I know I need to use XSLT, but can I parse the date? SHould I put Day Month and Year separate in the database? Can it be parsed?

I still dont know how to get the query to output what I want. Should I create all the columns necessary for the calendar?
I need these XML elements:
Month
Day
Year
Text
Popuplink
Style
Tooltip
Script
Filter
These are the items in the sample xml that goes with the calendar. Should I make a table in Access that has these columns? I currently have the database working, but with a different configuration. I assume I may need to add a few columns such as "Popuplink" and others. How can I get the Month Day and Year field in a Query if I don't have a column for these. It seems the query relates to a column in the database.
I'm currently trying to use the DatePart function in the Query Builder. I'm new to backend stuff.

Question about changing xml tags in your RSS feed

If I were to change the "author" of my podcast (namewise) - would that mess up the feed for anyone subscribed? I'm not sure what end users see or experience.
<itunes:name>element
So I I switch this to a different name - does that mess up existing subscribers in any way?
Thanks!

No: subscribers identify the feed by its URL and any changes you make to tags will simply appear for them. Changes will appear in the iTunes Store after a delay of a couple of days or so, but immediately for subscribers.

Change error tag names of the Response xml of a vanilla Inbound Webservice

Hi,
I am invoking a vanilla inbound webservice "Service Request" through Soap UI. Whenever any error occurs, in the response xml, some tags like "siebelf:error" is generated in the xml. However these tags are not present in the IO.My question is, can we change these tag names? If yes, then how?

Hi,
You should be able to edit the generated wsdl as you suggested, changing the
"return" to something else. Then save the wsdl to a file, say
"filename.wsdl", and then at the top of your jws add the following:
* @jws:wsdl file="filename.wsdl"
This will force the jws to use the wsdl you specify and you won't have to
edit any maps. Of course, as your jws changes, you will need to regenerate
the wsdl and change the "return" to something else.

I have created a webservice in workshop that has some methods what returnstring-data.
Now I want to create clients with different software-products. Because Igot some
errors with one of these products, I looked into the WSDL and noticed thatthe
name of the response-datatype is 'return' (by default).
You can see this here:
- <s:element name="addUserResponse">
- <s:complexType>
- <s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="return" nillable="true"type="s:string"
/>
This 'return' is interpreted as a keyword in the client-generation tool.If I
change this manually to another word then it works.
When I try to change the 'Return XML' in the 'Edit Maps and Interface'Dialog,
than the WSDL looks like this:
- <s:element name="addUserResponse">
- <s:complexType mixed="true">
- <s:sequence>
<s:any minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
Now the name- and type-definitions are completely missing.
The question is now: how to change the name of the response-datatype from'return'
to another (not-keyword-) name?
I think this is important because I don't know what software a customeruses to
generate a client and I can not expect that he manually edits myWSDL-file.

JS to change object XML tag

Hi
any one knows how to change a tagged object's XML tag from say Aold to Bnew without affecting it's content and position in the XML structure?
Thank you

Hello. I'm new here but it seems to be the only place where I can post this question to.
I'm working in a C# application that uses InDesign CS3 scripting. I'm trying to create an index automatically from a tabbed list of words in a text file.
As C# is a strongly typed language, I have to cast all objects to the right type. I'm having problems when I try to add the page numbers to the created index entries using the following code (I've used the CreateIndexEntry.jsx scrip as a starting point).
//Find all occurrences of the word or set of words (the topic name)
((InDesign.FindTextPreference) app.FindTextPreferences).FindWhat = topic.Name;
InDesign.Objects foundTexts = doc.FindText(System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
It's supposed to be an Array of Text objects (InDesign.Text) but when I try to cast each object using this
//Code is forced because I've tried everything here
//Loop through each finding and add page numbers to topic
IEnumerator textEnum = foundTexts.GetEnumerator();
while (textEnum.MoveNext())
object text = textEnum.Current;
topic.PageReferences.Add((InDesign.Text)text, InDesign.idPageReferenceType.idCurrentPage, System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
I got the following exception (translated).
text is not an InDesign.Text object (Interfaces doesn't match)
So the question is what object type should I use to cast each object resulting by calling the Document's FindText method.
Every suggestion will ve very welcome.
Thank You very much.

ALE/IDOC to XML - Need to Change the xml tags

Hi Experts,
I am creating xml files from idocs via ALE and an XML Port and sending them to a third party system (no programming required, all standard functionality). The field labels or tags within these xml files are automatically generated by SAP based on the idoc segment definitions. Unfortunately, the receiving system cannot process these tags...they require very specific tag names.
Is there a way to interceed before the actual files are created and change these tag names? If so, how?
Thanks very much for useful information!

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

Error for fetching long text in xml tag for xml publisher report

My requirement is to fetch a large document which is in text format in XML output which can be printed in PDF format by using RTF method to generate PDF.But during XML ouput i got the following error-
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh
button, or try again later.
The following tags were not closed: XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1, LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1,
G_MEDIA...
XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1 is the rdf and LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1, G_MEDIA are the groups name. In the group
G_MEDIA i am fetching long_text from attahcment in application. In Database table the datatype of the text attachment is 'long' and there is a huge text
data loaded in large data editor of that column. If the text data volume is small enough then there is no problem for fetching the xml output.
If we change the output format as HTMl then there is no problem for fetching the output for long text but for xml output format we are unable to fetch the data
in xml tag.
One thing to mention the oracle report is the copy of Maintenance Work Order Detail Report. The seeded report is HTML format in 11i. The requirement is to make it in xml report.
Please help.

IDOC to File, variable substitution on outbound message XML tag attributes

My scenario is IDOC to FILE using XSL mappings.The target format is 2 XML tags (header, line) with the data stored in the attributes of each tag.
EG. <header attr1=one attr2=two attr3=three><line attr1=one attr2=two /></header>
The name of the file is dictated by an outbound attribute value in the header tag.
Can I get access to it the attribute in the target message in the CC_FILE using variable substution. ?
Currently I am not using content conversion as the XSL produces the file format needed, so I would pefer not to change the outbound message format/structure as this is going to an external party. I would prefer not to change the outbound format as this would need content conversion to strip the unwanted/information/processing node that is used for this purpose (file naming).
The name is a calculation of fields in the IDOC and is not explicit dictated (business logic is applied in the mapping to get the file name), so I would prefer to use the attribute of the resulting XML to keep the "business logic" in the XSL..
Things that cannot be changed.... 1. Must use XSL.for mapping. 2. Format cannot be changed of the outbound message. 3. Would prefer not to involved content conversion to keep formatting/node structure in the XSL mapping.
I have seen some reference to this being possible on the forums but nothing solid from what Ive read.
Something like var1 = payload:/Header/@attr1 in variable sub to get at the attribute
Any comments ?
Thanks in advance.
One final piece of info. its on a PI 7.1 system.

I think its best explained by my other thread Link:PI 7.1 Access to Dynamic Configuration through Java Class .
Thanks for the link I have already implemented based on that link but the one crucial difference is that it is implemented using a static method with no reference to the actual object (payload) for Dynamic configuration. It seems that without the 7.0 API which isnt available in 7.1 by default XSL with java extentions is limited to static methods. If you could read the other thread it certainly is possible I'm mistaken.

Remove Empty XML Tags using module parameters

Hi All,
In my lanscape I have two PI Systems.
My scenario is an IDOC reaches 1st PI system gets converted into an EDIFACT and then goes to the 2nd PI and from there it gets routed to the respective AS2 Party.
I am using SOAP to pass message between the PI systems and B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter for the communication with AS2 party.
The issue is when the message is getting converted from IDOC to EDIFACT there are a few feilds with occurence 1..1 and due to these fields i get an empty XML tag at the output. These empty XML tags give me an error in the B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter Receiver Channel
I cannot change the occurence in the structure of the EDIFACT nor can I use an XSLT mapping to remove empty tags before the message reaches the Communication Channel.
I want to know if there are any module parameters which i can use either in SOAP Channel or the AS2 Channel to remove the XML Tags.

Hi Muni,
"1..1 means, you must send some values for that fields. try to find out why these are not getting any values."
This empty tag is expected. Before using B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter we used to use Seeburger's AS2 Adpater and the message used to get executed successfully with these empty tags.The issue is coming only when we are using B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter.
"if you want to stop sending(the fields which are not needed in target) you can you can disable the fields in the message mapping."
I cannot disable the feild in the mapping as some other message may use this field.
Thanks,
Farhaan

[JS][CS4-5] Apply hyperlink to xml tagged object

Hi,
Can anyone please help me? I'm strugling with this problem for days....
I'm trying to apply a new hyperlink to a xml tagged object (piece of text, frame or image)...
The script trows an error "wrong source. Expected text but received XML element"
Does anyone know how i can fix this?
Thanks
Code:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
Check(myDoc.associatedXMLElement);
alert("Done !");
//recursive function
function Check(elm){
         for(var i=0; i<elm.xmlElements.length; i++){
               myXMLElement = elm.xmlElements[i];
               XMLelementName = myXMLElement.markupTag.name.toString();
               // only apply to tagged object using the tag "Hyperlink"
               if (XMLelementName == "Hyperlink"){
                      var myHyperlinkURL = myDoc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add("http://www.google.com");
                      myHyperlinkURL.name = "http://www.google.com";
                      var myObject = elm.parent;
                      if(!( elm.xmlAttributes.item("href") == null)){
                                // it's a picture
                               // i'm not sure this will work
                            myHyperlinkSource = myDoc.hyperlinkPageItemSources.add(myObject);
                      }else{
                               // it's not a picture
                              // Error is in the line below
                            myHyperlinkSource = myDoc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(myObject);
                      var myHyperlink = myDoc.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkSource, myHyperlinkURL);
       // process all sub elements
       for (var i = 0; i < elm.xmlElements.length; i++){
            Check(elm.xmlElements[i]);

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
Due to your great feedback, I've made some changes to the line below...
var myObject = elm.texts[0];
When performing the script, a hyperlink is added to all text in the textframe, not only to the text tagged by the xml tag. Does anyone know how this can be fxed?
Also, when trying to do the same thing for an image, but this doen't work...
var myObject = elm.images[0];
An error occures.
And what about a empty graphic frame ? How can I add a hyperlink to frame if it's tagged by a certain xml tage?
Any feedback would be helpfull...

[CS3 JS] How to associate text with an XML tag

Hello,
I have a script that allows one to create or modify an XML tag after one selects text, a text frame or an existing XML tag. It works fine for making the XML tag but it does not associate the text or text frame to the tag. To do that I have to right click on the selection and use the context menu to Tag Text or Tag Frame.
I want to make this automatic but cannot see how to script it.
Thanks for any help

I figured out the problem (which of course creates other interesting problems).
In the line:
var elementRef = rootElement.xmlElements.add (tagRef);
I forgot to add a reference to the xmlContent. It should read:
var elementRef = rootElement.xmlElements.add (tagRef, whatToTag);
However, this script is designed to create a dialog box where one can either create a tag along with attributes or edit an existing one. I'll post it when I am done, but there is one hangup. The script not only changes the name of a selected xml tag but all tags with the same name. How can I get it to change only the selected tag? Below is the boiled down script that duplicates that problem.
Thanks,
Tom
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var selObj = app.selection[0];
var TagIWantToChange = selObj.markupTag;
var newTagName = "PleaseWork"; //This line replaces all the coding to create a dialog box where the tag name could be edited.
TagIWantToChange.name = newTagName;
