Create Data Type from XSD

Hey guys
i need to create Data Type from and XSD,in the beginning i had an XML document which i converted to XSD using Altova ,then i imported this XSD in IR under External definition,now how should i go ahead with creating Data Type?
my sample XSD is something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!W3C Schema generated by XMLSpy v2007 sp2 (http://www.altova.com)>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <xs:element name="WorkOrderNumber">
          <xs:simpleType>
               <xs:restriction base="xs:short">
                    <xs:enumeration value="10942"/>
               </xs:restriction>
          </xs:simpleType>
     </xs:element>
     <xs:element name="VendorNumber">
          <xs:simpleType>
               <xs:restriction base="xs:int">
                    <xs:enumeration value="109845"/>
               </xs:restriction>
          </xs:simpleType>
     </xs:element>
Its not the complete XSD,just the first few lines.
thanx
Ahmad

How to crete data type from XSD

Hi All,
can anyone tell me ...how to create data type from agiven xsd.
I need urgently....
thanks in advance....

import this XSD, load this in your mapping editor and then use this to crate the datatype manually.
Or, use XML spy, load this XSD and then you should be able to see the Structure, or,
Look into the XSD data and decipher things yourself

Error While creating Data type from a XSD

Hi,
I am trying to import a XSD into my Data type. I have changed the namespace in the XSD to match that of the target namespace. I am getting the following error.
Global definition Element: http://ls.sbc.com/OMS/ProcessSalesOrderEFE004,   orderRequest in the schema to be edited will be ignored
Schema to be edited defines qualified element names (elementFormDefault = 'qualified')
Could any help me out in this regard. I don't have much knowledge about XML and XSD.
Regards,
Ravikanth

Hi Ravi,
please check once again your XSD file.
it should be like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://ls.sbc.com/OMS/ProcessSalesOrderEFE004, " targetNamespace="http://ls.sbc.com/OMS/ProcessSalesOrderEFE004, ">

Please check the name of data type u mentioned in XSD while imporitng.

Import XSD to create Data type in Design

hi,
I know that we can import XSD in Design and create data type,my question is:
1. Can i import an XSD thats been created in message mapping and use that to create my data type in design.
(or)
2.Should i have to write an XSD on my own and then import it to create my data type, and is there any standard format to write it.

Hello Prashanth,
For your first question: i don't know exactly what you mean that the the xsd you create in the data mapping steps. So can you explain it in details?
For your 2nd question: Sure you can write your own XSD to create a data type. And i will give you an example xsd file format. Then you can import it in the XSD tab view.

How to create JSF application from xsd files?

Hi,
We have many xsd files describing xml's which we are supposed to send to web services. Application which we are creating should allow user to fill xml documents with data and then we should send those xml files to some web service. We want to automatize as much as possible the process of application creation to avoid possible errors and to minimize our efforts (there are plenty of quite complex xsd files).
Our first approach was: we used Oracle JSXB to generate java classes basing on xsd files (using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0.4066). Then we tried to generate DataControls, but this action fails with following error:
Window title: Error in init bean
Message: Could not complete initbean because it would result in an invalid document
Details: oracle.bali.xml.model.XmlInvalidOnCommitException: SEVERE: Wartość atrybutu Name nie jest typu ID (Value of Name attribute is not of ID type)
Wartość musi być następującego typu: (Value must be of following type)
Nazwa typu: ID (Type name)
Typ pierwotny: string (Primitive type)
Z następującymi więzami: (With following constraints)
zgodne z wzorcem: [\i-[:]][\c-[:]]* (Compliant with template)
[ node = Name ]
<JavaBean version="10.1.3.40.66" id="XSLStylesheet" BeanClass="oracle.xml.xslt.XSLStylesheet" Package="oracle.xml.xslt" isJavaBased="true">
<Attribute Name="classMethodParams" IsUpdateable="0" Type="java.util.Hashtable" />
We tried Sun implementation fo JAXB - it generated different java classes (with annotation mechanism). Creation of DataControls using those classes was successful. Then we created simple JSF page and tried to put those DataControls on it in order to let the user fill it with data. The thing is that those controls are read only as there is no row created in those DC. We can't create any row in those DC as there are only 'commit' and 'rollback' operations. When we try to call 'CreateInsert' operation on child elements of those DC we get error in JDeveloper log window:
2007-05-29 10:08:46 oracle.adf.controller.faces.lifecycle.FacesPageLifecycle addMessage
WARNING: JBO-29000: DataControl:createRowData
2007-05-29 10:08:46 oracle.adf.controller.faces.lifecycle.FacesPageLifecycle addMessage
WARNING: DataControl:createRowData
new row is not created and controls are still read-only.
The question is:
1. is there another, more efficient way to create JSF application from xsd files?
2. if this is the best way to do it, what do we do wrong?
Leszek

To anyone who might find it useful: our solution to mentioned problem.
Few tips how to solve described problem:
1. Do not use JAXB (we checked Oracle and Sun)
2. Use castor http://www.castor.org/
a) for each xsd generate java files in separated package
b) use java 1.5 to let castor generate lists
c) use mapping of xml namespaces to java packages to have only 1 implementation of each xsd
3. Create facades - java files for you root-level java objects
4. Right click those facades and choose 'Create DataControl' in jdev
5. Now you may drag and drop you DataControls and use them in your JSF (or UIX) application
I hope it will help someone :)

How to access complex data type from a soap web services?

hello
can u please tell me how can i access complex data type from a soap web service from jdeveloper 10g
Jdeveloper generates 3 classes
serviceStub
getproperties
response
i have to retreview the data which is a complex data type it gives some
unknown type. and the return value is a key-value pair data type .
regards
vs

After you create the partner link and the invoke (to create the variables), change the element type of the response message to the complex type definition of your collection that appears in the XSD. You can do the same thing if you want to change the element type of the payload of the request message as well.

Why need message type when u create data type...

why need message type when u create data type...

Hi,
A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message. At the following points in SAP Exchange Infrastructure you can refer to the message to be exchanged at runtime by using the message type:
·        More than one message interface can use the same message type. For example, an asynchronous outbound message interface and an asynchronous inbound message interface can reference the same message type because the request message does not need to be mapped.
·        When defining a message mapping you can directly reference message types to map messages from an outbound interface to messages from a receiver interface.
For technical reasons, a data type is not sufficient to describe the instance of a message. In XML schema, data types are defined as abstract types that are not yet fixed to an element. You can only describe an instance of a message when you have specified a data type as an element type. Therefore, a message type defines the root element of a message.
A message type does not define the direction of the message exchange, in other words, whether it is a request or a response. In exceptional cases you can use the same message type for both the request and the response message.
A message type has the following characteristics:
·        It comprises exactly one data type, which determines the content of the message to be transferred.
·        It is identified by a name and an XML namespace. The name (together with the namespace) of a message type is located in the uppermost tag of the message to be exchanged. This is an element tag.
You have defined a message type GreetingRes that references a simple data type of type xsd:string. The XML namespace of the message type is http://sap.com/xi/myExample. The corresponding payload might look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ns1:GreetingRes xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/myExample"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   Hello Mrs. Miller
</ns1:GreetingRes>
You can specify how a message type is used in more detail in the description
hope this will help you.

Error while creating data type

Hi
I am creating data type for the scenario from File to IDOC

Hi;
First activate your namespace and then create the data type.
Namespace + default datatypes should be activated together.
Then your data type

Problem in creating data type

hi..
i've problem in creating data type in xi after importing idoc from the R/3 sender
plz tell me the basic steps for creating data type in the receiver i.e xi.....
thanks in advance

Hi,
You don't need to create a data type after importing the IDOC.
Idoc itself acts as message type and message interface.
check this for creating a data type..

Validation while create data type

HI All ,
I have a pop-up in my report that user can create data type in didc,
There is a simple way to support validation for data types ,
I have pop-up where the user need to provide name of attribute
he need to create and the data type for it (char ,string ,int etc )
and he also need to provide the leng of the attribute he want to create
(e.g. char10 ) and also decimal places .
the issue here that i need to do some validation in the pop-up
for e.g. if user choose
case 1
name     - attribute1
datatype - string
leng   - in this case he dont need to provide leng (string )
dec - dont need to provide (string )
case 2
name     - attribute1
datatype - char
leng   - 10
dec - dont need to provide (char )
Any idea how to do this validation in a simple way (maybe to use standard functionlity)
Regards
Alex

HI Keshav.
What i did is created a popup with FM in the popup i have 4 field
the field with the data type which i want to trigger event to it is domain and not ref to FM
The ppoup have 4 field
attr name
datatype
length
decimal
so from what you are say there is not option to trigger event when the user press F4
and choose a entry from it ,
since what i want to do is that if user for instance chose string i want that the next to fields (length and dec ) will be
remove from the popup since he dont need them .
and for he choose char the the decimal field will remove from the popup
Any idea how to solve this issue ?

Creating data types

Hi
How do u create a data type when u get an input file.
How do u know when to create header , footer n all?
Can some one tell me or send a url on how to create data types. would be of great help!
Thanks!

HI,
Generally identifying the structure from the input file need some analysis work.
You may refer some of the below tips while creating the data types
1. List down the input structure of data fields from input file.
2. Decide the Header and detail information based on the data and go for sub-structure.
3. With File adapter try to maintain the structure level max. upto 2.
i.e. Root>Header>Fields etc.
4. Try to avoid the substructure for the internal fields.
5. Decide the Occurances fo every root and sub structures and fields.
6. Identify if there any relations within Header and detail fields.etc.
Check with SAP Help for various activities

Create data control from java class, not see "ADF Parameter Forms" option

Hi,
I have created a Fusion Web Application (ADF) in jdev 11g. In the application model project, I created a java class. Inside the java class, I have a public method as below
public Asset [] searchAsset3(SearchTerm s) // SearchTerm is a java bean. It implements java.io.Serializable.
I created data control from my java class. After that, I see an xml file generated under the same folder of my java class. Here is the xml content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<JavaBean xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/beanmodel" version="11.1.1.53.62"
id="AIAAsset" Package="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model"
BeanClass="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model.AIAAsset" isJavaBased="true">
<MethodAccessor IsCollection="true"
Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
BeanClass="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
id="searchAsset" ReturnNodeName="Asset"
CollectionBeanClass="UpdateableCollection">
<ParameterInfo id="name" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="version" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="description" Type="java.lang.String"
isStructured="false"/>
</MethodAccessor>
<MethodAccessor IsCollection="true"
Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.AssetSummary"
BeanClass="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.AssetSummary"
id="searchAssetSummary" ReturnNodeName="AssetSummary"
CollectionBeanClass="UpdateableCollection">
<ParameterInfo id="name" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="version" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="description" Type="java.lang.String"
isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="type" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
</MethodAccessor>
<MethodAccessor IsCollection="true"
Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
BeanClass="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
id="searchAsset3" ReturnNodeName="Asset"
CollectionBeanClass="UpdateableCollection">
<ParameterInfo id="s" Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.query.SearchTerm"
isStructured="true"/>
</MethodAccessor>
<ConstructorMethod IsCollection="true"
Type="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model.AIAAsset"
BeanClass="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model.AIAAsset"
id="AIAAsset"/>
</JavaBean>
Then, in application user interface project, I created a JSPX page. From the data controls palette, I want to drag and drop the searchAsset3 onto my page. However, I don't see an option for me to choose "Create -> Parameters -> ADF Parameter Form". I only see "Create -> Methods". Unlike other public methods (e.g.searchAssetSummary and searchAsset) which have simple data type as input, I can see the "Create -> Parameters -> ADF Parameter Form" option when I drag and drop to my jspx page. Is that something I missed while creating data controls?
Thanks.
Arnold.

Then, my other question is how do you do the bindings? I drag and drop the attributes from SearchTerm bean. Now the pagedef file has the AttributeValues added but my method is actually expecting one input parameter of type SearchTerm. How do you bind the attributes to the input of the method? Thanks.
See below of my pagedef xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

How create data type for coulmn name having special characters in IR

hi ,
any idea how to create how to do create data type for coulmn name having special characters

Hi Amit,
Can you ellaborate ?
Actually if you are reading a file(or anything else) which contains special characters, the data type can be created as done for other interfaces. But it is in the adapters that we actually take care of handling these special characters.
