Concatenate nested XML tags

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to concatenate duplicate tags in a xml.
I need only the tags 'tag' of 'type=keyword' in one field in a table.
The sql statement I use I'm getting six records and I just need one record.
Hope my English writing is not to bad to understand what I mean.
This is a part of the XML.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<list>
<artikel id='25230245' title='st' publish='true' sender=''>
<categorieen>
    <categorie naam='Staking' externalid='Economie/Staking' />

<tags>
    <tag name='Overijssel/Raalte/Raalte' type='location' />
    <tag name='Overijssel/Deventer/Deventer' type='location' />
    <tag name='Overijssel/Olst-Wijhe/Wijhe' type='location' />
    <tag name='cao' type='keyword' />

    <tag name='LÃ¼pack' type='keyword' />
    <tag name='cnv vakmensen' type='keyword' />
</tags>
<publicatiedatum datum='1400663902374' datumstr='2014-05-21T11:18:00+0200' />
<wijzigingsdatum datum='1400663902374' datumstr='2014-05-21T11:18:00+0200' />

    <bestemming channel='web' site='ST' page='Regio/Raalte/' primary='true' />
</bestemmingen>
<bron naam='Benny Koerhuis' />

And this is my sql statement (part of a plsql procedure).
SELECT decode(upper(t1.publish), 'TRUE', 'Y', 'N')
             , trunc(to_date(substr(replace(t1.pdate, 'T', ' '), 1, 19), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) pdate
             , to_date(substr(replace(t1.flitstijd, 'T', ' '), 1, 19), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') flitstijd
             , t1.naam_flitser
             , t1.sectie
             , t1.titel

        FROM flits_berichten_clob t1
        , XMLTABLE('//test/artikel'
            PASSING XMLTYPE (t1.xml_file)
            COLUMNS publish         VARCHAR2(10) PATH '@publish'
                   ,pdate           VARCHAR2(25) PATH 'publicatiedatum/@datumstr'
                   ,flitstijd       VARCHAR2(25) PATH 'wijzigingsdatum/@datumstr'
                   ,naam_flitser    VARCHAR2(25) PATH 'bron/@naam'
                   ,sectie          VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'bestemmingen/bestemming[@primary="true"]/@page'
                   ,titel           VARCHAR2(10) PATH 'bestemmingen/bestemming[@primary="true"]/@site'
                   ,soort           VARCHAR2(10) PATH 'bestemmingen/bestemming[@primary="true"]/@channel'
                   ,tags            XMLTYPE       PATH 'tags') t1
        , XMLTABLE('/tags/tag[@type="keyword"]'

            COLUMNS trefwoorden     VARCHAR2(255) PATH '@name') t2
        WHERE id = 15;
This is the result.

cnv vakmensen
Is there a way to concatenate the results from the last column?
It result should be 'werkonderbreking, Zwanenburg, staking, Stegeman, LÃ¼pack, cnv vakmensen' so I get one record instead of six.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to concatenate the results from the last column?
Yes, use string-join function :
, titel
VARCHAR2(10)   PATH 'bestemmingen/bestemming[@primary="true"]/@site'
, soort
VARCHAR2(10)   PATH 'bestemmingen/bestemming[@primary="true"]/@channel'
, trefwoorden
VARCHAR2(4000) PATH 'string-join(tags/tag[@type="keyword"]/@name, ",")'
) t1
That way you don't need the second XMLTABLE anymore.

How to create nested xml tags using java parser?

Hi,
I need to create a xml file containing following tags using java program-
<A attr1="abc">
<B attr2="xyz">
<C attr3="pqr"> </C>
</B>
</A>
Can anyone please let me know which parser should I use to create the above mentioned xml file?
If possible, please post a code snippet for the same.
Thanks in advance..

Well, you could start by doing it all the 'old fashioned' way; create a String object containing that text and then write it away to a file. Or you could take the time to look at the javadoc for all of the xml support that the Java language itself supplies - XMLReader/Writer for a start. After that put together some code that you think would do the job and ask for help on any specific problems you encounter.

XML tags in an "export : XML" Report Template

Hi All,
I'm using the export XML report template to produce XML from a query. One of the column contains XML tags and the template is translating eg: if the column is "Groups" then I get:
<Groups>& lt ;Group& gt ;Sales & lt ;/Group & gt ; & lt ;Group& gt ;IT& lt ;/Group& gt ;</Groups>(ignoring all the spaces - OTN is translating the & gt 's :)
instead of:
<Groups><Group>Sales<Group><Group>IT</Group></Groups>Is there an easy way to stop this ?
Thanks,
Steve

Replace the XML Tags which are in binary format in 4.6C Version

Hi Experts,
I have an issue. I am working on 4.6 c version of sap. I have a requirement to send ftp of an xml file. I created an internal table which has components of table type too ( For Line items ). After appending a record of sales order into the table I am using   SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM ( To attach the to the document ) and SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML ( To convert the document contents into XML ( Binary Format ).
       CLASS cl_ixml DEFINITION LOAD.
      g_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
      CHECK NOT g_ixml IS INITIAL.
      m_document = g_ixml->create_document( ).
      CHECK NOT m_document IS INITIAL.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM'
        EXPORTING
          NAME               = 'xmldata'   " data in character format
          DATAOBJECT         = xmldata[]
       IMPORTING
         DATA_AS_DOM        = l_dom
       CHANGING
         DOCUMENT           = m_document
       EXCEPTIONS
         ILLEGAL_NAME       = 1
         OTHERS             = 2

      ENDIF.
      CHECK NOT l_dom IS INITIAL.
      w_rc = m_document->append_child( new_child = l_dom ).
      IF w_rc IS INITIAL.
      WRITE 'OK'.
      ELSE.
      WRITE: 'ERR ='.
      ENDIF.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML'
        EXPORTING
          DOCUMENT            = m_document
        PRETTY_PRINT        = ' '
        IMPORTING
          XML_AS_STRING       = w_string
          SIZE                = w_size
        TABLES
          XML_AS_TABLE        = it_xml   " Final XML data ( with xml tags ( xml tags are the field names of internal table ) ) in bin
        EXCEPTIONS
          NO_DOCUMENT         = 1
          OTHERS              = 2
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      WRITE 'OK'.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
      ELSE.
      WRITE: 'ERR =',
      sy-subrc.
      ENDIF.
So, it_xml has the binary format of XML data.
Now the requirement is that I need to get rid of some XML tags in the final internal table XML data. Because by default, at the start of the the table row the <item> and </item> tags are inserted. This is automatically done in the Function module
SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML.
I want to find out the binary string of <item> and </item> and replace them by null binary string. I know how to replace the character strings but not for binary strings in 4.6 C.
It is little bit urget. I would appreciate the quicker answer.

How to read duplicate XML tag?

Hi to all gurus,
Currently I am working on XSLT transformation. I encountered a problem when I have to read a random number of xml tag with the same names.
sample:
<product_code_list>
<product_code>12345</product_code>
<product_code>12333</product_code>
<product_code>12233</product_code>
</product_code_list>
My xslt can only manage to read the 1st row. How can it be possible to read all the 3 rows?
xslt:
<product_code_list>
<xsl:for each select-value-of='product_code_list'>
<product_code_list1>
<product_code><xsl: select-value-of ='product_code'></product_code>
</product_code_list1>
</xsl:for each>
</product_code_list>
Many thanks in advance for reading this. Please assist to solve this. Point will be generously awarded!

Hi Mr Raja!
Thanks again for your help. I felt so embarrassed.
The product is produced from another source dynamically. Hence the list can contain from 1 to any number of products.
I tried to use the for-each but another problem arise. the structure is created for the products, but it is all empty inside when i used the debugger to go through the code.
TYPES:
TPRODUCT(10) OCCURS 0,
BEGIN OF PRODUCT_LIST,
PRODUCT TYPE TPRODUCT,
END OF PRODUCT_LIST,
PL TYPE PRODUCT_LIST OCCURS 0.
DATA:
VENDOR TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF PRODUCT_LIST INITIAL SIZE 0,
XML_STRING TYPE STRING,
xslt_error     TYPE REF TO     cx_xslt_exception,
xslt_message     TYPE     string.
CLEAR xml_string .
CONCATENATE

`<PRODUCT>12345</PRODUCT>`
`<PRODUCT>12333</PRODUCT>`
`<PRODUCT>62233</PRODUCT>`
`</PRODUCT_LIST>`
`</myXML>`
INTO XML_STRING.
CLEAR VENDOR.
TRY.
      CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ZTESTCHINXSLT')
      SOURCE XML XML_STRING
      RESULT VENDOR = VENDOR.
    CATCH
    cx_xslt_exception INTO xslt_error.
      xslt_message = xslt_error->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.

Nested XML Output in PL/SQL

I need to generate XML that looks like this:
<Person>
<Name>
<FirstName>IMA</FirstName>
<MiddleName>ANOTHER</MiddleName>
<LastName>TEST</LastName>
<BirthDate>04/05/1982</BirthDate>
</Name>
<IDDetails>
<SSNID>234-23-3333</SSNID>
<OtherID>19781</OtherID>
</IDDetails>
<PhysicalDetails>
<Weight>145</Weight>
<EyeColor>BLUE</EyeColor>
<HairColor></HairColor>
<Sex>FEMALE</Sex>
<Race>BLACK</Race>
<SkinToneText></SkinTone>
</PhysicalDetails>
<SocialDetails>
<Ethnicity>UNKNOWN</Ethnicity>
<Language>ENGLISH</Language>
</SocialDetails>
<Address>
<Street>123 Somewhere Street</Street>
<City>AnyWhere</City>
<State>Confusion</State>
<Zip>99999</Zip>
</Address>
</Person>
I was able to sucessfully generate it in SQL by creating a view using this code:
create or replace view person_xml_view as
select
xmlelement("Person",
xmlelement("Name",
xmlelement("FirstName", first_name),
xmlelement("MiddleName",middle_name),
xmlelement("LastName",last_name),
xmlelement("BirthDate",to_char(date_of_birth,''MM/DD/YYYY''))),
xmlelement("IDDetails",
xmlelement("SSN",b.external_number),
xmlelement("OtherID",a.mni)),
xmlelement("PhysicalDetails",
xmlelement("Weight",a.weight),
xmlelement("EyeColor",a.eye_color),
xmlelement("HairColor",a.hair_color),
xmlelement("Sex",a.sex),
xmlelement("Race",a.race),
xmlelement("SkinTone",a.skin_tone)),
xmlelement("SocialDetails",
xmlelement("Ethnicity",ethnicity),
xmlelement("Language",language)),
xmlelement("Address",
xmlelement("Street",c.address),
xmlelement("City",c.city),
xmlelement("State",c.state),
xmlelement("Zip",c.zip)))
as result from
names a,
numbers b,
addresses c
where
(a.mni = b.mni (+) AND
b.number_type (+) = 'SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER') AND
(a.mni = c.mni (+) AND
c.current_address_flag (+)= 'T') AND
a.MNI = 19781);
My end goal is to write a function that returns the XML back to the caller, but when I the dbms_xmlgen I can't get the sub-tags to be inserted correctly. Here's the code as it is today:
FUNCTION GETXML
( v_pk IN Number)
RETURN xmltype as out xmltype;
ctx dbms_xmlgen.ctxhandle;
BEGIN
ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select a.first_name as "FirstName",
a.middle_name as "MiddleName",
a.last_name as "LastName",
to_char(a.date_of_birth,''MM/DD/YYYY'') AS "BirthDate",
b.external_number as "SSNID",
a.mni as "OtherID",
a.weight as "Weight",
a.eye_color as "EyeColor",
a.hair_color as "HairColor",
a.sex as "Sex",
a.race as "Race",
a.skin_tone as "SkinTone",
a.ethnicity as "Ethnicity",
a.language as "Language",
c.address as "Street",
c.city as "City",
c.state as "State",
c.zip as "Zip"
from
names a,
numbers b,
addresses c
where
(a.mni = b.mni (+) AND
b.number_type (+) = ''SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER'') AND
(a.mni = c.mni (+) AND
c.current_address_flag (+)= ''T'') AND
a.MNI = '||V_MNI);
dbms_xmlgen.setrowsettag(ctx,'Person');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx,'Name');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx,'IDDetails');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx,'PhysicalDetails');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx,'SocialDetails');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx,'Address');
out := dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype(ctx);
dbms_xmlgen.closecontext(ctx);
return out;
END;
How do you do the nested tags?

Hi,
Here is simple way of genrating nested XML.
FUNCTION GETXML
( v_pk IN Number)
RETURN sys.XMLType
CURSOR C1
IS
xmlelement("Person",
xmlelement("Name",
xmlforest(first_name as "FirstName",
middle_name as "MiddleName",
last_name as "LastName",
to_char(date_of_birth,''MM/DD/YYYY'') as"BirthDate"),
xmlelement("IDDetails",
xmlforest(b.external_number as "SSN",
a.mni as "OtherID")),
xmlelement("PhysicalDetails",
xmlforest(a.weight as "Weight",
a.eye_color as "EyeColor",
a.hair_color as "HairColor",
a.sex as "Sex",
a.race as "Race",
a.skin_tone as "SkinTone")),
xmlelement("SocialDetails",
xmlforest(ethnicity as "Ethnicity",
language as "Language")),
xmlelement("Address",
xmlforest(c.address as "Street",
c.city as "City",
c.state as "State",
c.zip as "Zip")) as result
from
names a,
numbers b,
addresses c
where
(a.mni = b.mni (+) AND
b.number_type (+) = 'SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER') AND
(a.mni = c.mni (+) AND
c.current_address_flag (+)= 'T') AND
a.MNI = 19781);
v_xml sys.XMLType
BEGIN
open c1;
fetch c1 into v_xml;
close c1;
return v_xml;
END
In short use xmlforest to genrate inner child tags.

Dynamic XML TAGS in PL/SQL

Hi I wish to have dynamic xml tags in pl/sql e.g. say i have a table xml_table with xml_tag and tag_value as two columns. Let us say it has a rows
XML_TAG = timezone
TAG_VALUE = UK
I want the output in the following format
<timezone>UK</timezone>.
Any ideas how to achieve it using ORACLE functions and not concatenate <> to the columns? Help would be much appreciated.

This is a forum discussing questions related to Oracle Portal. I'd recommend you to take a look at XDB and XSQL, on Oracle's Web site at http://otn.oracle.com.
Hope it helps,

Nested XML data set

Hi there,
I have a problem with displaying some nested XML data. I've
tried quite a lot of different approachey to this, but just can't
get it working properly. So here's the deal:
I have an XML file (which is dynamically created from a
servlet) of the form:
<variations>
<variation>
<name>...</name>
<...>...</...>
<links>
<link>
<type>...</type>
<name>...</name>
</link>
</links>
</variation>
</variations>
On my webpage, I use a Spry tabbed panel with one tab for
each of the 'variation's in the XML file. Within the tabs I have
(many) form fields dynamically filled with the values from the XML
and that all works fine, but I also want to display a table with
one row corresponding to each 'link'... and that just won't work...
My latest approach looks something like this:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="TabbedPanels1" spry:region="dsVariations">
<div id="TP1" class="TabbedPanels">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
<li spry:repeat="dsVariations" class="TabbedPanelsTab"
tabindex="0">{dsVariations::name}</li>
</ul>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
<div spry:repeat="dsVariations"
class="TabbedPanelsContent">
// a lot of form stuff
<table border="1">
<script type="text/javascript">
dsLinks.setURL("Servlet?id={dsVariations::id}&cmd=getLinks");
dsLinks.loadData();
</script>
<tr spry:repeat="dsLinks">
<td>{dsLinks::type}</td>
<td>{dsLinks::name}</td>
</tr>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</body>
In this, the Servlet call with cmd=getVariations returns the
whole XML stated above, while the cmd=getLinks will only get the
corresponding part (everything between <links> and
</links>).
The error message I get for this is: processTokens() failed
to get a data set context!.
I previously tried to use a NestedXMLDataSet, but couldn't
get that working either... I'm really kind of stuck by now and
would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Florian
PS Thanks a lot for creating Spry: It's great!

Thanks for your reply, Cristian.
I'm afraid I couldn't do that since it would cause the whole
region to be reloaded constantly (because it's being updated each
time I do the setURL / loadData)... in fact, I tried this before
and it didn't work.
But, in fact, I figured that the fact that I could not get it
running using a NestedXMLDataSet (as I would generally prefer), did
not actually come down to a problem in the page source code, but
actually to a problem with the very XML itself:
I tried to recreate the simple nested data set example (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/NestedDataSample.html)
and basically used the same code and an almost identical XML
structure... yet it doesn't work. The contents of dsFeatures just
won't be displayed and when I'm inspecting the contents of
dsFeatures (using Firebug) it shows me that the dataset is empty. I
just don't get why it works for your example, but not for my
modified version... I can't see any crucial difference :-s.
To simplify the problem I deleted most tags from the XML and
saved it in a static document "variations.xml":
<variations>
<variation>
<name>Var 1</name>
<features>
<feature>none</feature>
<feature>feat1</feature>
<feature>feat2</feature>
</features>
</variation>
<variation>
<name>Var 2</name>
<features>
<feature>none</feature>
</features>
</variation>
</variations>

Nested XML / DocBook

How do you use nested XML in InDesign such as DocBook upon import?
Something like:
<blockquote>
<para>Some text here</para>
<para>More text here</para>
</blockquote>
I know InDesign has the map tags to styles function... how could this sort of nesting be interpretted as styles though?
Would you map the blockquote element as [Not Mapped]... or as a character style? or what?
<para> Can't be a paragraph style since it is also used as the body text.
Would something like this have to be scripted to import correctly?

There is not a good way to express concepts like <blockquote/> in InDesign's XML import.
I don't see anything here that is "nesting," though. Perhaps if you gave us the context?
If you have your other <para/>s in some other tag instead of <blockquote/> then they could all be paragraph styles. But if you have <para/>s at varying tree levels, you are really stuck. Transofrm it into some other kind of XML, or use scripting.
So, try giving us a lot more (5 times as much?) context and a clear explanation of what you want to do, but I think this is probably not a good approach.

How to read entire file content in one XML tag?

Hi,
How can I read entire file content in one XML tag?
What specifications do I need to specify in Sender adapter?
regards,
Anirudh.

Hi Chirag,
I am reading a flat file for File to Idoc scenario.
Target Idoc is nested which can not be populated with graphical mapping.
see below post for more detail.
[Mapping flat XML to nested IDOC using node functions |Mapping flat XML to nested IDOC using node functions;
The problem here is I'm not able to identify when to insert context change for child which is repeating for a repeating parent.
Solution therefore, I think is reading entire flat structure in one node and then use UDF to populated intermediate target with proper nesting.
Thats why I need to read entire XML.
regards,
Anirudh.

Create xml tag dynamically within simple transformation

Hi all together,
I'm faceing the following problem:
There is a internal table provided, consisting of name/value-pairs. Something like
ls_struc-name = 'NAME1'.
ls_struc-value = 'XYZ'.
append ls_struc to lt_struc
ls_struc-name = 'CITY1'.
ls_struc-value = 'Munich'.
append ls_struc to lt_struc
and so on.
I have to create this XML (with simple transformation):
<NAME1>XYZ</NAME1>
<CITY1>Munich</CITY1>
Everythings works fine so far (tables, values etc.), but I have problems with creating the XML-Tag, e.g <NAME1> from "$line.name" within the transformation. I don't have any information about the data structure (therefore "call transaction id" does not work).
Any hint is useful!!!
Best regards,
Thomas

Nested XML: completely confused

Here is my XML with nested <a> tags in the text that
sits in a node. I'm utterly stumped as to how to get at those
<a> tags. The XML is valid, and when I run a standard Spry
loop, none of the nodes with <a> tags will render. If I
delete the <a> tags, the nodes render fine.
Here is my XML, and below is my Spry:

</script>
<div spry:region="ds_whatsnew">

</ul>
</div>
I got as far as getting the right .js loaded and a ds named,
but can't figure out what to do next.
Help!

Nevermind. I realized I needed to just wrap all that in a
CDATA tag and the problem is GONE.

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
Green4ever

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.

Hi,
if you want to transform something to something else, you should declare, what is your source.
I would prefer to use plain XSL-Transformations, because you have a lot more options to transform your source and you can even better determine, how your output should looks like.
Kind regards,
Hendrik
