Create XML using Data Templates

Is anyone familiar will a tool, other than oracle that will create XML from data template definitions.
I trying to understand if the data template definitions are an Oracle specific tool that only Oracle can use to generate XML files.
If this is specific to Oracle, is there an easier way to use the data templates to generate XML without registering them in the concurrent manager, XMLP Admin, and then executing the concurrent process?
I'm looking for a shortcut to testing these files without having to register everything.

Why not using XML Publisher Standalone aka Enterprise 5.6.2 ?
There you can generate the XML based on data templates without registering anything. The installation is quite easy.

How to generate xml using "Data Template"

Hi,
Can any one please tell me the steps to create xml using "Data Template".
As per the user guide the execution method for "data Template" is "Java Concurrent Program" and the Executable mentiones is "XDODTEXE".
But there is no information about the "execution file name" and "execution path name" which is mandatory.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
To put a Data Template into use, you don't need to define any new executables. XDODTEXE executable is already registered in the system, as it ships with the application. The Data Template is not an executable as such, but a collection of instructions for what queries to perform and what should the resulting XML look like. XDODTEXE knows how to interpret those instructions, and produce the XML output.
(And if you add a layout template, handle that too.)
You do need to do the following:
1) Create a new Data Definition (XML Publisher Administrator > Data Definitions)
2) Upload your Data Template (remember the Code for the next step)
3) Create a Concurrent Program that is linked to the Data Definition (Short Name = Code) (System Administrator > Program > Define)
4) Add your Concurrent Program to a Request Group (System Administrator > Security > Responsibility > Request)
I recommend you take a look at the XML Publisher Administration and Developer's Guide, you will find more information there.

Create XML using data from Oracle

Other than using OracleXMLQuery, how do I create an XML file from the data from a table in Oracle?
Rgds,
Seetesh

Vetsrini:
Thanks for your response. I no longer can receive email at [email protected], because I am at a different company now. So please post directly to this forum so I can receive my messages.
I would imagine that "look ahead" is a feature needed by many applications, since the heading of a document may depend on the data within. In my case, we have a Pack Slip that we want the bold heading title to change if the word "FAX" is inside the body of the document. Instead of saying "Pack Slip", it would say "Fax Pack Slip".
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

XML Publisher --Data Template-Help

Hi
we are using XML Publisher attached to R12 , we are using data template ( .XML file) in data definition .
we have a requirement for master details report. for that we have parent query and child query .the data coming to parent query should be the parameter to child query
Exp-- Parent Query-- select empno from emp
Child Query --select * from dept where empno=:p_empno (p_empno =empno from Parent query )
For this requirement we are creating a data template (.XML file) . we are successfully to write for the parent query, but we fails when come to child query. Please help us how it can be wrote in data template . You can send any example related to this issue.

This forum is noway related to XML Publisher. I had redirected you to the actual BI Publisher already once. You should post it there.

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?
Hi,
I do generate XML-Files by using DBMS_XMLGEN with output by UTL_FILE
but it seems, the xml-Datafile I get on end is not really UTF-8 encoding
( f.ex. cannot verifying it correct in xmlspy )
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET          = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     = AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     = 10.2.0.1.0
I do generate it in this matter :
declare
xmldoc CLOB;
ctx number ;
utl_file.file_type;
begin
-- generate fom xml-view :
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext('select xml from xml_View');
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(ctx, null);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(ctx, null );
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS(ctx,TRUE);
-- create xml-file:
xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
-- put data to host-file:
vblob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(xmldoc);
DBMS_LOB.READ (xmldoc, vblob_len, 1, vBuffer);
bHandle := utl_file.fopen(vPATH,vFileName,'W',32767);
UTL_FILE.put_line(bHandle, vbuffer, FALSE);
UTL_FILE.fclose(bHandle);
end ;
maybe while work UTL_FILE there is a change the encoding ?
How can this solved ?
Thank you
Norbert

Marco,
I tryed to work with dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file,
that works good,
but what is in this matter with encoding UTF-8 ?
in my understandig, the xmltyp created should be UTF8 (16),
but when open the xml-file in xmlSpy as UTF-8,
it is not well ( german caracter like Ä, Ö .. ):
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION = 10.2.0.1.0
-- test:
create table nh_test ( s0 number, s1 varchar2(20) ) ;
insert into nh_test (select 1,'hallo' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 2,'straße' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 3,'mäckie' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 4,'euro_€' from dual );
commit;
select * from nh_test ;
S0     S1
1     hallo
1     hallo
2     straße
3     mäckie
4     euro_€
declare
rc sys_refcursor;
begin
open rc FOR SELECT * FROM ( SELECT s0,s1 from nh_test );
dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file( xmltype( rc ).getclobval( ) , 'XML_EXPORT_DIR','my_xml_file.xml');
end;
( its the same when using output with DBMS_XMLDOM.WRITETOFILE )
open in xmlSpy is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<S0>1</S0>
<S1>hallo</S1>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<S0>2</S0>

Bursting entire report as a single file by using Data Template

Hi,
I have created a report by using data template, which consists of 3 queries.
Is it possible to burst the entire report in one single file? without splitting based on any criteria?
Something like I want to use a constant value key so that report will split into one file ONLY.
Please advice.
Regards
Muarli.

You are right in saying that I dont want to use the burst option.. but the problem with FTP delivery, is that I can't pass the date parameter in the file name. Only fixed single file name is provided there..
Work around for this is to use bursting option to pass corresponding parameter value in output file.
I'm facing the problem that by using data template source, I can't burst in enterprise edition based on SQL statement.
Getting the below error:
oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2116)

     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2018)
     ... 3 more
Bursting Definitions I used are as below.
     Bursting Node          /SCHEME_SETT_SUMMARY/LIST_G_VALUE_DATE/G_VALUE_DATE/ssc_code
     Delivery Node           /SCHEME_SETT_SUMMARY/LIST_G_VALUE_DATE/G_VALUE_DATE/ssc_code
But the same report is running and I can schedule by using FTP delivery without bursting option successfully.
Please assist in resolving this issue.

Murali.

HTML tags not displayed when using Data Template

Hi All...
I'm developing a BI Publisher report in which one of the columns is a clob data type. I'm using an xsl stylesheet to format the data present in the clob column.
I've developed the report using data template as the data set. The problem is the clob column which has the HTML tags where not displayed properly...for example
the tag starting with
<
is replaced with
& lt;
I did a couple of searches in this forum and in tim's blog but couldn't find a proper solution...

I came to know that data template cannot generate proper HTML tags for release 10.1.3.2. Is there any work around way to get the proper HTML tags when data template is used as a data set?
Thanks in Advance...
Edited by: user10280715 on Dec 9, 2008 3:13 PM

Issue could be with the data that is selected in the other environment. It generally happens that the ALV will not give the same results as in the DEV in the other systems.
Possible errors could be the control break statements in the loop...endloop block. validate the correctness of the control break stmts if any.

Create asset using scat template

Hai gurus,
my finance user create LVA asset using scat template and the procument make the PO. When the user want to make good receipt it give an error. when i check using as03 the asset already have capitalized date on previous year. How this came? or this is a bug? how can the asset thatn just created and make the po not yet good receipt but have the capitalized date?
Anyone have same experience?
Regards,
muzaidi

Hi muzaidi,
It sounds like the capitalization date is getting entered through the SCAT. Try to identify if the capitalization date is a field being entered when running the SCAT. Look for field name ANLA-AKTIV.
In the meantime, use Tcode AS02 to try to remove the existing capitalization date. If the item is not modifiable, use Tcode SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Master Data -> Screen Layout -> Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data. For the applicable screen layout rule make the capitalization date modifiable on both the main and sub asset number levels.
Thanks,
Chad

I am trying to establish all my linking in this data template. However I noticed a discrepancy between the expected output and what I received. For some reason at the 3rd level of the dataStructure (the answer level), it restarts at Q_ID = 1 instead of whatever the Q_Number is from the level above. In my case all of the answers are in the same table regardless of category. Can someone offer up any help with fixing my template?
I did notice something odd, for G_DEPARTMENT_ANSWERS it is working correct but does not work for G_GENERAL_ANSWERS.

Warren,
You need to select data source type as DataTemplate and then cut and paste your DataTemplate in the text editor window.
Make sure you define the dataSourceRef in dataTemplate Header. The dataSourceRef is the DataSource (JDBC Connection) you define through Administartion.
<dataTemplate name="Employee" description="Template description" dataSourceRef="demo">

Creating XML using JSP

Hi I want to create a xml using JSP For eg I want to create a report
          and I want to take all the data required for the report from the user
          and want to put all the information in a session and whenever a user
          wants to see the html output I should be able to parse the xml file
          and show it to user.
          I know it is doable but I am confused about storing the data in
          session and concerting that data into XML file any help would be
          great.
          Thanks,
          Preeti


Sounds like you might want to look at XML data binding. Something like JAXB
          or Castor can create an object that can be turned into XML by merely calling
          a single method and probably streamed to Xalan or whatever to create HTML.
          However, don't quote me on this - I am having enough troubles with trying to
          get the compiled Objects to be as I wish. Basically, they both take your
          DTD with an extra file that defines the types to be used in the classes -
          i.e. instead of string int might be used - and which tags to turn into
          classes and general information such as this about the output of your
          classes. You then simply call Unmarshal (for both castor and JAXB) and it
          loads the file from the selected input stream into the created object, you
          edit the object, what ever - store it on the server... and call Marshal to
          get back the xml... as this is all using streams it could be passed to Xalan
          for processing i think...
          Hope I've helped, and answered your question a little!

In My Link Editor
IlluminatorColumn_0.Name----
>IlluminatorDataItem_0.Name
hardcoded the value i.e 20----
>IlluminatorDataItem_0.Value
IlluminatorDocument_0.Output----
>IlluminatorDataItem_0.IlluminatorDocument

Creating XML using XPath

Hello,
I want to creat XML document using Dom and XPath, as per my knowledge goes I can't create it using XPath {I may b wrong, if I am then pls tell me know :-) }.
If there doesn't exists any thing like this I am thinkin of wrapping a class {say its XPathProcesserDom} which takes the XPath querry and internaly creates XML Document and returns on request. Is this a good idea :-)
waiting for comments :-)....
thanks and regards,
MaheshPujari

Hi Piyush
I don't see how you can create a XML document via xpath!?!? xpath it's only used to reference data in an XML document...

Timezone problem in XML from data template

The xml returned from one of my data templates seems to be randomly applying timezones of +00:00 or +01:00 to the dates.
This is causing a problem in the PDF output from the report where the timezone is processed and some of the dates are showing as the day before that held in the database. The sql in the data template is just returning the raw column, no extra processing there. What's going on, is this a known bug?
Appreciate any help you can provide.
Cheers,
Dave

Is is a sample record from the sql query. Sorry it's not the same as the XML above but the data has changed on the instance so some of the fields weren't populated on those records.
EXPENSE_TEMPLATE,TEMPLATE_DATE_CREATED,TEMPLATE_DATE_INACTIVATED,EXPENSE_ITEM,ITEM_DATE_CREATED,ITEM_DATE_INACTIVATED,TAX_CATEGORY,ASSIGNMENT_DATE,TAXCAT_DATE_INACTIVATED
"Long Term Detached Duty",12/09/2007 14:45:57,null,"LTDD:Air Travel
Domestic",13/09/2007 11:45:08,null,"PSA",01/01/2007,31/12/4712
First row is column names for ease of understanding :-)
Appreciate any info you can provide on this.
Cheers,
Dave
