Converting string to XML

Dear All,
I am using PI 7.1
I am trying to invoke a third party SOAP API which accepts request in the form of a string which has embedded xml and also return a string which has xml embedded in it.
To send the xml as string, I used the feature "Retun as XML" in mapping and it worked fine.
But the response which has xml embedded, needs to be converted back to XML message.
I understand that we can write parsers in java, ABAP and also do XSLT mapping.
Just wanted to know that is there any "out of the box" feature to do the same.
Please refrain from providing links to java mappings or xslt as I have gone through them already.
regards,
Piyush

Hi Piyush,
                  All parsers will fail to parse the XML message you are getting. Since you are getting the following tag twice within the XMl
"<?xml version="1.0"?>"
This tag can be present in an document only once in begining of the document. First you need to remove this tag from appearing in source.
Suppose you are able to do that then your XML structure will become something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<ns1:AuthenticateResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:Login" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance">

Then you can use the following java mapping code to remove the SOAP envelop.

You can add attributes to the tags as per your requirement. I have commnented those lines in the java code.
The output will look like this

Convert Excel to XML file

Hi Guys,
I need to generate the XML from Excel file. The XML file will have the definition like this:
<people_list>
<name>Fred Bloggs</name>
<birthdate>27/11/2008</birthdate>
<gender>Male</gender>
</people_list>
The Excel file will look like this:
A B C
1 Fred Bloggs 10/21/2008 Male
2 ABC 12/23/2008 Female
3 XYZ 07/16/2008 Male
All the values in name,birthdaye,gender will come from the Excel file. I am having 100 rows in the Excel file with the data and I want to parse this excel file and create the XML file with the above template.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
there are tons of ways to do what you need. It all depends on how your workflow is organized and how complicated it may become.
Alternative 1:
Export your Excel file as a cvs and convert cvs to XML (which shouldn't be so hard).
Pro: Relative easy transformation.
Con: Every time you want to convert the Excel file to XML you first needs to export it out of Excel by a manual step.
Alternative 2:
Save you Excel file as XML (e. g. the new *.xslx documents) and transform it as you like.
Pro: Very clean way to do this. You can access the single source Excel file directly from Java. No further steps needed.
Con: It's very very hard to program because the Excel xml structure is ridiculously complex.
Alternative 3:
You can create a little Excel VBA Script which generates the XML File.
Pro: Easy programing.
Con: Needs some experience in Visual Basic 6 programming.
Alternative 4:
Use http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net/ or any other Excel-API to Access the Excel application out of Java.
Pro: Clean way to do it. You need no further manual actions to prepare something. (maybe the most flexible and at the same time easyest way)
Con: Additional license.
Best Wishes

Convert FMB to XML File on Unix

Hello,
I want to convert a FMB-File to XML in my HP-UX-Middletier-Environment.The Script frm2xml.sh is only shipped with IDS.
Can someone upload the frmf2xml.sh from a linux or Solaris IDS-Enviroment?
Robert

So if we were to keep text-based source files, the process would have to be:
- check-out to local working copy
  - convert XML to FMB
    - make changes using Forms Developer
  - convert FMB to XML
- commit to svn
I'm concerned about the side-effects of the conversion process (edge-cases, incompatibilities), and I also expect that even with some automation, the above will be a pretty slow process that will slow the team down. I guess we'll probably stick with fmb.
I guess as a compromise, it may be worthwhile generating the xml or fmt alongside the fmb and committing both. At least we'd then have a text-based file to compare revisions with. So the process then becomes:
- check-out to local working copy
  - make changes using Forms Developer
  - generate XML from FMB
- commit both to svn
I'm still baffled as to why Oracle has chosen a binary source format, even 15 years ago. This basically precludes a vast number of tools and techniques that are essential to the software craft :(

How to force BI Publisher to output header without any record in CSV or XML format?

When the output format is CSV or XML, it seems that Oracle BI publisher does not use the template. When there is no record returned, it only display "ROWSET" in the report. No column names are displayed in the report. If the output format is one of the following: PDF, Excel, HTML, RTF, Excel200, and MHTML, it generates correct header/column names even there is no record.
How could I force BI publisher to do the same when the output format is CSV or XML (data)?
Thanks,
GT

Alex,
I did not say that bip must use template for xml output. What I have said was that bip ignore the template even you have set up a template when the output is in XML or CSV. The reason that I set up a template for XML or CSV output is to test whether I can make it output column names when the SQL query returns no records. It apparently that it did not return any column name. It just returns "ROWSET" text. This is a problem for down-stream process or any other receiving system since the down-stream systems do not know what are the column names in the report.
Did you get what is the issue here and have an answer for it?

Import and Export CSV Through XML File in Oracle

Hi Gurus,
I am sorry , I had deleted this post.
Thanks
Edited by: user10679113 on Feb 5, 2009 6:13 AM

What does it mean to do something with comma separated values through XML. That is a new concept for me.
Either something is CSV or XML but what is it you are trying to describe? Please provide an example.
Then come the obvious questions like what version and edition of Oracle on what platform? What does any of this have to do with email? How large a file? etc.
No one else has responded so I can only assume they are thinking what I am ... "what is this person trying to do?"

Convert XMLList to XML in AS3?

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to convert an XMLList that I
retreived from an XML instance back into well-formed XML in Flash
CS3. Here is what I am doing.
- I have an XML document loaded and I am displaying the
contents in a datagrid component (which is working well).
- I am then filtering the XML to obtain a subset of data by
first obtaining an XMLList representing all elements of my XML
instance and then filtering the list on a particular element (this
is working well).
- Now I want to display my filtered results in the datagrid
and here lies the problem because the datagrid can't use an XMLList
as a dataprovider. How do I convert this XMLList back into well
formed XML so I can use it as my grid's dataprovider? I need to
somehow get a root tag back on.
Could I somehow use toXMLString() and then convert that to
XML?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
TH

I solved this so I thought I would post how I did it in case
anyone would find this useful.
1. First, convert your XMLList to an xml string:
var yourXMLString:String = yourXMLList.toXMLString();
2. Next, add a root tag to the beginning and end of your xml
string.
yourXMLString=
"<your_root_tag>"+yourXMLString+"</your_root_tag>";
3. Convert the string to xml.
var yourNewXML:XML=new XML(yourXMLString);
yourNewXML is now well-formed xml and will work as a
dataprovider.

Converting IDOC to XML

Hi,
I have an application where i have to convert an IDOC to XML format so that it can be handled by webmethods.
I want to know how to convert IDOC to XML. I have seen that in SAP there are two port types, XML and XML HTTP. Are they used for posting an IDOC in XML format at defined port.
When i tried to generated a test IDOC with port type as XML, it has created an xxx.XML file in application server but i an unable to display it.
1). Can any one pls. tell me how to convert IDOC to
XML??? What are the different methods ( if available)
2). DO i need to have any extra component for this??
3). what are XML and XML http ports are for.
Pls. help me as this is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Pratik

Hi,
Does xxx.XML contain no data? Or you are just not able to display it (try opening it in notepad).
1 - You are doing it right. Using XML port should be enough.
2 - You don't need anything additional.
3 - XML port gives you an option like a file port (you get the idoc in an XML file) for batch type interface. XML http will let you post the XML data realtime to an web server that accepts XML messages.
If your partner system can take http messages, you can use http port to send the IDOC directly to that system, else you can create the XML file and send it in batch mode.
hope this helps,
cheers,
Ajay
