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 :(

Hi,
What I have done in the past, and seems to work, is execute an Interface or Procedure in simulate mode, choosing the agent that you would like to use in reverse engineering the XML. Then, attempt to reverse engineer the file again. Not sure if this will work, but it has for me at times. You might also try this and restarting ODI to clear out anything 'cached' in the JVM.
It seems ODI is caching the agent that you are using - but I'm not sure how to properly change it.

Convert ArrayList into XML file

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to convert ArrayList to XML file and save that file.
Manoj

There is an easy to understand example here:
http://totheriver.com/learn/xml/code/XMLCreatorExample.java.
You only have to replace Book objects from example with objects you need.

Convert fmb and rdf files to fmt and rpt on unix

XML file in Unix Server

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to use an XML File as a data source, and the XML is made available in the Unix server where the agent is running. In ODI on my Windows machine, testing the connection of the XML “Data Server”, I get a successful test connection, and a DTD is created on the working directory (whenever it is missing). This means that, I do have access to write files in the working directory of Unix server.
However, the problem is encountered when I reverse engineer the XML to retrieve the structure of the file (located in Unix server) and make it in a datastore. It seems that during the “Reverse Engineer” process, ODI is using the local agent rather than J2EE agent (Unix server) that I have, thus it can’t “see” file, thus the error message: "ODI-40844: Could not generate the DTD because the file could not be created. Verify that you have write permission in the directory."
Unfortunately, I am not able to customize the Reverse Engineering process to use J2EE agent as there is no out of the box ODI Reverse Knowledge Modules for XMLs. Creating the structure (Datastore) of the XML manually in ODI under XML Technology does not solve the problem either, because ODI still sees the Datastore as a FILE Technology and not an XML Technology (Error: ODI-40426: Url must start with jdbc:snps:dbfile).
Please advise on how to reverse engineer a remote xml file. TIA.

Problem converting data in XML file to internal table data

Hi all,
I have a requirement. I need to convert an XML file to internal table data and based on that data do Goods Receipt in SAP.
With the help of this blog /people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I am able to convert the XML file to data in SAP. But this blog will display the output on screen as ELELEMNT = nodename VALUE= value of that node.
But I donu2019t want in that way, I want to store all the data in XML file in an internal table so that I can make use of those values and do Goods Recipt in SAP.
Can some one suggest how should I read the data in an internal table.
Here is my code..what changes should I make?

Below is my XML file, My code and XSLT Program. In the below XML file I need to collect Vendor Number, Order Number, and Date tags which occur only once for one XML file.
I also need to collect the following tags from <Shipmentdetail>
<Shipmentdetail> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
TrackingNumber
Freight
Weight
ShipmentDate

Help needed in converting Excel from XML file

Hi Can anyone help me in converting XML in to Excel.
Thanx,
Ananth.

well, that still isn't much to go off of. I give it a try though.
I guess you want to parse out the relevent data out of the xml file and then decide on your favorite delimated file format for Excel. Two popular formats are comma delimated:
"info1","info2","info3","info4"
and tab delimeted:
info <tab> info2 <tab> info3 <tab> info4
Excel should be able to unsestand either of these formats.

Script to convert metadata to xml file - Bridge CS6/InDesign CS6

I need a script that will convert metadata in Bridge to an xml file I can import into InDesign so that when I export long documents the alt text for photos is already included with the images.
Two problems -
1) I need the scripting for dummies version - from step 1 to end. I have zero experience with using scripts, as in - did not know they existed until a few days ago.
2) If the script needs adapted - see #1; there is very little hope that I will have any idea of how to do that without assistance.
I will be grateful for any assistance!! I do want to learn how to do this, if I can.

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 Data to XML File

Hi all
I want a sample procedure in which i would to like to fetch data and save the output to a XML File.
Someone please help me in giving me the sample procedure.
Regds
Nirmal

see this link, may be it will help
http://blog.oraclecontractors.com/?p=147
Well that shows you how to extract data on the database as XML, but it doesn't show how to output it to a file.
I'll give a hint. If you have your data as an XMLTYPE you can convert it via CLOB to and XMLDOMDocument type (as in the DBMS_XMLDOM package). Once you have an XMLDOMDocument you can use one of the DBMS_XMLDOM procedures to write out the XML to a file...
DBMS_XMLDOM.WRITETOFILE(
doc IN DOMDOCUMENT,
filename IN VARCHAR2);
;)
