Correlation for files containing multiple records

I was learning correlation from a nice blog below.
/people/milan.thaker/blog/2008/07/23/correlation-150-runtime-behavior-of-bpm
I have one question though. In the case where the correlation is done on a key field say PsNo.
Now if two files have multiple records, will the correlation compare the PsNo of each record or is the comparison just on the first PsNo of each file record.
Thanks,
Minhaj.

Hi Minhaj,
1) Suppose if you want to merge 2 files into a single file based on a keyfield (PsNo), You are opting Correlation in BPM.
In your Correlation Editor, You should mention the XPATH Expression for Keyfield(PsNO) for the involved messages.
2) Only if both the values of keyfied(PsNo) in 2 files are equal then Only you can merge all those 2 files into single file.
So first PsNo of each file record is going to compared with another file.

ESB/File Adapter - XML files containing multiple messages

Hi,
In all the examples on file adapters I read, if files contain multiple messages, it always concerns non-XML files, such as CSV files.
In our case, we have an XML file containing multiple messages, which we want to process separately (not in a batch). We selected "Files contain Multiple Messages" and set "Publish Messages in Batches of" to 1.
However, the OC4J log files show the following error:
ORABPEL-12505
Payload Record Element is not DOM source.
The Resource Adapter sent a Message to the Adapter Framework which could not be converted to a org.w3c.dom.Element.
Anyone knows whether it's possible to do this for XML files?
Regards, Ronald

Maybe I need to give a little bit more background info.
Ideally, one would only read/pick-up small XML documents in which every XML document forms a single message. In that way they can be processed individually.
However, in our case an external party supplies multiple messages in a single batch-file, which is in XML format. I want to "work" on individual messages as soon as possible and not put a huge batch file through our ESB and BPEL processes. Unfortunately we can not influence the way the XML file is supplied, since we are not the only subscriber to it.
So yes, we can use XPath to extract all individual messages from the XML batch-file and start a ESB process instance for each individual message. But that would require the creation of another ESB or BPEL process which only task is to "chop up" the batch file and start the original ESB process for each message.
I was hoping that the batch option in the File adapter could also do this for XML content and not only for e.g. CSV content. That way it will not require an additional process and manual coding.
Can anyone confirm this is not supported in ESB?
Regards,
Ronald

Insert Insert XML file into multiple records in Oracle Database

I would like to find out if it is possible to insert a single XML file into multiple records or tuples in a Oracle database table. I have a single XML file which is at multiple levels. The meta data for the levels are common and each level can have meta data of their own in addition. I do not have any meta data field which will uniquely determine whether the data belongs to Root level, Intermediate level or at the document level. Is there any way I can determine which level the meta data belongs to and thereby make a corresponding entry into the database table tuple? For example I could have an attribute called level which is going to be present only in the database table and not in the XML file. If level=1 then it corresponds to "Root" meta data, if level=2 then it corresponds to "Intermediate" level and if level=3 then it corresponds to meta data at document level. I need a way to calculate the value for level from the XML file and thereby insert the meta data element into a tuple in a single table in Oracle.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

if <adress> is A, forwards corresponding order which includes both <order> and <item> to receiver A.
if <adress> is B, forwards corresponding order which includes both <order> and <item> to receiver B.
i don't know how to make receiver determination?
Edited by: joy zheng on Aug 29, 2009 6:03 AM

I think what you can do is, just create different mappings based on number of receivers and accordingly create different Interface mappings for your corresponding message mappings. While doing your mapping use the conditions to map only desired data. Now in your configuration do your RD and add all your receivers without any condition. Remember your Interface Determination should contain the corresponding interface mappings.
if do that as you described.
identic message need to be sent multiple times.
that is not my expectation.
it is only way to use bpm.

Flat File with multiple record types (OWB 10.2.0.2)

Hi!
I`m using OWB 10.2.0.2 and I`m trying to load a flat file with multiple record types, using SQL LOADER.
In the flat file editor in the Record tab, I`ve set the type values and the corresponding record names like this:
Type Value Record Name
======== ===========
T TRAILER
0 DETAILS
1 DETAILS
2 DETAILS
When using this flat file in a mapping to load the data in a staging table, the generated code looks like this:
INTO TABLE TRAILER
TRUNCATE
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
WHEN (1:1) = 'T'
INTO TABLE DETAILS
APPEND
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2'
The above clause (WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2') is wrong as I expect one "INTO TABLE..." clause for each record type.
Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Yorgos

We`re using two target tables, one for the trailer record and the other for the details records.
We are facing this problem from the moment we upgraded from OWB 10.1 to OWB 10.2.0.2, so we think it must be something with the way the sql loader code is generated in the new version.
As our data sources are mainly flat files coming from mainframes, this is a huge problem for us. We even asked an expert in DW from Oracle to help us on this, but still haven`t found a solution.
Is there any workaround for this or should we forget sql loader and go with an external tables + custom PL/SQL code solution?
Your help is greatly appreciated Jean-Pierre.

Yorgos

Get MUTLIPLE output files for SINGLE input file with multiple records

Hi ,
I have source xml file which has multiple records in it and I want to get multiple seperate flat files for it.
this is my source structure
<root>
<Header1 fld1=1234 fld2="name1" fld3='SAP1"
fld4='000" fld5=0 fld6="sdn1"></header>...............no line items here
<Header2 fld1=123 fld2="name" fld3='SAP"
fld4='00" fld5=0 fld6="sdn" ><line fld7=value1 fld8=value2 fld9=value3 /line><line fld7=value4 fld8=value5 fld9=value6 /line></header>.....two line items here
<Header3 fld1=123 fld2="name" fld3='SAP"
fld4='00" fld5=0 fld6="sdn" ><line fld7=value7 fld8=value8 fld9=value9 /line></header>......one line item here
Header4 fld1=12345 fld2="name2" fld3='SAP2"
fld4='0006" fld5=01 fld6="sdn2"</header>.......no line items here
</root>
I am trying to get flat files as many time the <b>header</b> values occur that many target files should appear in the target.
like
file1:
1234name1SAP10000~sdn1
file2:
123nameSAp000~sdn
value1value2valu3
valu4value5value6
file3:
123namesap000~sdn
value7valu8value9
file4:
12345name2SAP2000601~SDN2
here I have 4 headers so i need to get 4 output files ,similarly for 'n' headers I need to get 'n' output flat files. the above mentioned source xml file is just one file,like that I might get somany sourc xml files which has similar structure in it.
and also it is important to get the line items,if exists to the header, for the corresponding headers.
how can I achieve this?do I need to use BPM or any mappings other than Graphical?
please suggest me.
thank you.
Babu
sorry,output file structure changed
Babu

Babu,
See the Mapping and the logic.

Note:
While creating Interface determination choose it as Enhanced/Extended
The Receiver Content conversion - For field separator and line separator give 'nl' , coz we concatenated all of them using ~ in mapping.
If you find any discrepancy in the above logic , please let me know.

Schema for File with Multiple Fixed Records using Native Schema builder

Hi All:
The below is the sample file format which i need to read through file adapter
HeaderReacord
FailureOrderRecord
ChildFailureRecord
ChildFailureRecord
SuccessOrderRecord
SuccessOrderRecord
HeaderReacord
FailureOrderRecord
ChildFailureRecord
In the above file, totally three records are repeatedly present with fixed length eg. HeaderReacord length is 50, SuccessOrderRecord and FailureOrderRecord length is 100, ChildFailureRecord length is 25. The file may have more than one header group i.e. A single header group contain one HeaderReacord, more than one SuccessOrderRecord, more than one FailureOrderRecord and more than one ChildFailureRecord after each FailureOrderRecord.
I have created the below xsd for this scenario and get the below output. Kindly tell how to do this in Native builder using fixed length type for different fixed records options

you cant acheive this heirarchy using the file adapters cont. conv, cos it supports only to a single level.
Maybe you can have a module or use the conversion agent !!
Some good reads on the Conv. agent!!!

Positional Polling a file with multiple records at single line

Hi
I am trying to poll a file with positional read.It works fine with single record at single line.But how to solve the problem when there are multiple records at single line???How to delimit the records??

i have a file which contains emp records like empID,empName,Dept.And these records of fixed length.I need to poll this file wirh positional read.I used fixed length polling.It works fine when there is only 1 record at one line.But when 2 or more records on same line it takes first record correctly but could not understand the start of second record.
for ex
1 shital mktg
2 priya finance
it works when records are at separate line.
but another case is:
1 shital mktg 2 priya finance
how to delimit these records??

Loading Hex Files with multiple records with each line starting with : record marker, how do I load this hex file into a front panel table ? thanks in advance, Jeff.

I have written a routine that loads a Hex file, checks for record marker,length,address etc then loads the data into a table on front panel. However, my routine only loads single record hex files. I need to be able to load multiple record files, I need to identify the ':' colon record marker start for each record in the hex file, I just can't see how to loop my routine so that all records with ':' prefix marker are loaded.

Jeff,
I'm not exactly sure of what you are trying to do. Is it possible you could post your code, or a screen shot of the diagram in question, so that I can get a better understanding, and possibly offer some assistance?
I am familiar with hex files, but not with the : marker separating records. This may be able to be solved with simple text parsing, and as I am not familiar with how you are retrieving and/or displaying the files, I require more information.
Thanks

HELP: Appending new records to File containing 1 Record

File Adapter - Multiple Record Types to same Target

I am currently reading in a fixed length file and loading into a table.
The issue is, some of the lines in my file differ by two spaces at the end. See example below.
For example,
Record 1 might look like :
DD/MM/YY - length of 8
Record 2 might look like:
DD/MM/YY{space}{space} - length of 10
and they both go into the same date column of my target
Question 1) Is there a way for BPEL to skip the two spaces at the end of each line for Record 2
Queston 2) I have currently created multiple record types for the two types but it won't allow me in my transformation to map them both to the "date" column in the target table. It says multiple nodes cannot be mapped to the target
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Unfortunately the IKM SQLDR doesn't have the "when" condition to be wrote at ctl file.
If you wish a simple solution, just add an option (drop me a email if you want a LKM with this)
The point is:
With a single option, you will control the when ctl clause and, for instance, can define:
1) create 2 datastores (1 for each file)
2) the first position will be a column at each datastore
3) write the when condition to this first column at the LKM in the interface.
Does it help you?

File to rfc (file has multiple records)

Hi Guys,
I have a filr to rfc scenario..
I created a Z table with ITAB in import tab and field names and then a BAPi using se37...
The BAPI source code is just one line
Modify Ztable from ITAB
I first tried wth input file having one record, and in scenario runs successfully to update the Z table, checked in se 16
Now when the input file has more than one record, but ZBAPI has just 1..1 ITAB tab
Ho can I do multiple inserts using the same rfc/bapi??
Regards,
Teja

Hi,
As Prateek suggested 2 opionts, so I think option 2 is best for your otherwise option 1 can lead into performance issues.
Make sure that you have declard your internal table ITAB as standard table of ztable. e.g.
DATA: ITAB type standard table of ztable,
WA_ITAB type ztable.
if you do like this and import the BAPI in XI then you can see the occurence of target has been changed as 0..unbounded
Finally, when you have multiple records in your internal table then loop on it and update the table. e.g.
Loop at itab into wa_itab.
Modify Ztable from WA_ITAB.
Clear:wa_itab.
Endloop.

Sarvesh

Splitting of a CSV File with Multiple Records into Multiple XML File

Dear All,
<b> I am doing a Scenario of CSV to XML Files. I am using BPM for the same. My incoming CSV File has got multiple records. I want to break this Multiple records into Multiple XML Files having one record each.</b>
Can someone suggest how can I break this rather Split this into Multiple XML Files.
Is Multimapping absoltely necesaary for this. Can't we do this without Multimapping. Can we have some workaround in the FCC parameters that we use in the Integration Directory.
Kindly reply ASAP. Thanks a lot to all in anticipation.
Pls Help.
Best Regards
Chakra and Somnath

Dear All,
I am trying to do the Multimapping, and have 0....unbounded also. Someways it is not working.
<b>
Smitha please tell me one thing...Assigning the Recordsets per Message to 1, does it mean that it will write multiple XML Files as I want.</b>
Also I am usinf Set to Read only. So once the File is read it becomes RA from A. Then will it write the other Records.
I have to use a BPM because there are certain dependencies that are there for the entire Process Flow. I cannot do without a BPM.
Awaiting a reply. Thanks a lot in anticipation.

Difficulty with SF2 files containing multiple sounds; only one sound will play

Here's my difficulty. I know exactly how to install SF2 soundfonts on my computer, I have used them in several compositions, but there's one limitation I havent been able to overcome.
Some soundfonts, as you probably know, contain multiple sounds. My problem is that when I have a multi-sound SF2 selected, I can only get GarageBand to play one sound -- presumably the first one in the pack. There are no options in the DLS Music Player window for selecting other sounds within the soundfont; only the soundfont itself is listed. I have a couple of soundfont packs where the different sounds are all split into individual SF2s within a folder, and that displays as a submenu properly... but I can't get these others to work properly. Any ideas?

I don't think you can get it to work with the current version of GB. There used to be a plugin called SoundFontSynth that handled soundfonts with sound banks, but it has been discontinued and the auther never replied to emails.
