Creating New XML using xPath

Hi,
I wanted to know if an XML Document created in the Database using xPaths. I mean, I don't want to creat any XML file on the OS in the first place. I want to create an XML using a table containing xPaths. Can this be done in XDB ?
Thanks in Advance,
Piyush

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...

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser

Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin Kulkarni

SAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
      StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
      SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      //      SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
      TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
      Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
      hd.setResult(streamResult);
      hd.startDocument();
      //Get a processing instruction
      hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
      AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
       hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
          hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
    hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
      hd.endDocument();
You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

Write XML using XPath

Hi,
I have a problem. I need to WRITE a XML using XPath.
Supose that XPath String : "/clients/client/name"
Equivalent XML :
<clients>
<client>
<name></name>
</client>
<clients>
Please, helpme ...
The XPath Strings are dinamic, there are lot of combinations.
Is there an API (free ?) that support this ?
Thankz

Normally XPath is used for searching existing XML documents, not for creating new ones. So it's unlikely that anything exists to do what you ask. But not impossible, people do the strangest things. Have you searched Google?
Of course you realize you can't use arbitrary XPath expressions here, for example what would you do with a predicate?

Count multiple nodes in XML using xPath

Hi',
How to count the CUSTSERIAL node in the below XML using xPath.
<missingICCRec>
<MissingField xmlns="http://www.Google.com/MissingFields/v1.0">
<CUSTSERIAL xmlns="http://Google.com/InboundService">23809002RN</CUSTSERIAL>
<CUSTSERIAL xmlns="http://Google.com/InboundService">23809003RN</CUSTSERIAL>
<CUSTSERIAL xmlns="http://Google.com/InboundService">23809004RN</CUSTSERIAL>
</MissingField>
</missingICCRec>
Thanks
Yatan

Yatan,
I created a simple BPEL with assign to count the node. Using ora:countNodes() function is throwing exception but when i tried with count() it works.
XSD seems to be valid. Only you need to have the function as below.
count(bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/client:process/client:missingICCRec/client:MissingField/client:CUSTSERIAL'))
XSD Used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/PIMtoRPASAmendment/BPLENodeCount/BPLENodeCount"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<element name="process">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="missingICCRec">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="MissingField">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="CUSTSERIAL" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
<element name="processResponse">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="result" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>
This works !!!
Please let me know if this helps.

check for the files in ORACLE_HOME/database. You have dropped existing instance and creating service again, move all the files to other folder then create using ORADIM

Creating new Positions using RH_CREATE_POSITIONS?

Hi
I tried to use the RFC rh_create_positions to create new positions using C#. But
i get an error:"Screen output without connection to user".
Well is there any work around for it or is there any other RFC/BAPI i can use to create positions under an org unit.
any suggestions are welcome!!!!!
thanks

Yes, the BAPI doesn't create the position ID. You need three tables to be populated for update
1. hr_object_header - one entry for entire update
2. hr_infotype_header - one entry for each infotype record update
3. pd_object - required if you have IT1000 in hr_infotype_header
4. pd_object_relationships - required if you have IT1001 in hr_infotype header
Similarly all other tables need update based on records on hr_infotype_header.

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 :-)....

Creating new xml document

Hi
there are many samples about reading results into xml, but how can the oracle xml parser be used to create a xml document (String) from the scratch?
Thanks a lot for suggestions
Daniel

Thanks , but i know all this !
File corFile = new File("e:\\corFile.xml");
DOMParser dp=new DOMParser();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(corFile);
XMLDocument root=XMLHelper.parse(is,null);
is.close();
Element hello = root.createElement("hello");
Text bonjour = root.createTextNode("Bonjour");
hello.appendChild(bonjour);
root.appendChild(hello);
i know how i can update the XMLDocument ,
but how i can update my file corFile.xml ??
i would create a new xml file from my new XMLDocument !

Read xml using xpath in java

Hi ALL,
I have a xml as follows:
<AAA>
<BBB>
<CCC>xyz</CCC>
<DDD>abc</DDD>
</BBB>
</AAA>
Now using any of the java class, i just need read the value of "CCC" as follows:
(i.e using xpath i need to read the value)
String val = x.somemethod("/AAA/BBB/CCC");
Thanks!

In case you're curious - here's the dom4j equivalent of dvohra09's sample code.
SAXReader saxReader = new SAXReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
Document doc = saxReader.read(source); //Where source is your file, input source, input stream, reader, or url
String value = doc.valueOf("//AAA/BBB/CCC"); //Result given the xml from OP = 'xyz'OK - not much difference with this simple example but if you haven't settled on an API, dom4j is worth looking at (IMHO).

Creating new XML Db Web Service

Hello All,
I have to create a new XML DB webservice. I did follow the below oracle documentation and could create the service. But when I tired to run the XQUERY, to get the information about the service I just added,
1) I could see only part of the output.
2) I need to add this output to "xdbconfig.xml". But I dont see this file on my database server.
I am sure that the XDB is configured on this database. I do see following lines in alertlog, when we bounced the database recently, which confirms the XDB is configured.
Tue Nov 29 17:53:17 2011
XDB installed.
XDB initialized.
Tue Nov 29 17:53:43 2011
Not sure what happened to the xdbconfig.xml. Please see below command I used to create Web Service and XQUERY.
DECLARE
SERVLET_NAME VARCHAR2(32) := 'WDD_XML';

DBMS_XDB.deleteServletMapping(SERVLET_NAME);

Hi,
2) I need to add this output to "xdbconfig.xml". But I dont see this file on my database server.It's located at the root of the XML DB repository, in the database.
You don't edit it directly.
The truncated output is an SQL*Plus issue, most likely.
I guess you have something like this :

Unable to create new query using query manager

Hi friends,
I have been trying to create a query using query manager for couple of hours but still not able to.I am following the instructions given in oracle Peopletools 8.52 : Peoplesoft query
Chapter - creating new queries.
Below are the steps I am going through to create new query:
Step - I open the component Reporting Tools-> Query->Query Manager , I don't get the tabbed pages one for search an existing query and another for create new query.
Please follow this link to see how the page is displayed in first step:
http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=EvMvVAXX1E
Step 2 - When I click on create new query link, I am redirected to a page where it asks for record name to add in the query. But, even this page is not displayed as how it supposed to be
http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=GzHh3f6krU
Step 3 - Following the above step, when I click on Person record to add into my query I am asked to select the fields that I want to display in the output.
But I somehow do not get the proper tabbed pages where individual pages are there to add the attributes to complete the query like adding multiple records, fields, query, expressions, prompt...etc
http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=Wbbla3Q3jE
I am neither able to select multiple records in my query nor able to customize my query to get the desired results.
Below is the query that I want to create using query manager:
SELECT P.EMPLID,P.BIRTHDATE, N.NAME, A.ADDRESS1, A.ADDRESS2, A.CITY
FROM PS_PERSON P, PS_NAMES N, PS_ADDRESSES A
WHERE P.EMPLID = N.EMPLID AND
N.EMPLID = A.EMPLID AND
P.BIRTHDATE BETWEEN to_date('1990/1/1','yyyy/mm/dd') and to_date('1991/1/1','yyyy/mm/dd');

Hi,
As I cannot access your screenshot by the blocking of company firewall rules.
I'm guessing currently you are using PT 8.52.00 version, correct?
This should be a bug, that you need to apply the 8.52.0X patch, not sure which patch fix this, you can apply the latest one to solve this issue for no tab page of query manager. (PT 8.52.06)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Problem in creating new field using AET

Hi ,
We are facing a problem while creating a new field using AET.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414900)ID0190611650DB01471683520393954021End?blog=/pub/wlg/12716]
Im following this blog while creating the new field using AET.
After filling all the field details and trying to create a Transport request its going for a runtime error.
The error is happening in class CL_CRM_GENIL_AXT_API
method get_editable_properties.
data lr_field_ext type ref to cl_genil_field_extension.
field-symbols <axt_field_extension> type gtype_field_extension.

if sy-subrc = 0.
While Debugging we can see that the table axt_field_extension_tab is having zero values during the last execution.
But the Zfield is getting generated and the status is in green.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
you posted the same question again in a later post.
Here is my answer:
Hi,
the reason that AET does not work is because there is/are missing entries in one of DB table.
Namely the enhance BO assignment to the UI Object Type.
Could you please tell me, what is the UI Object Type in you current IC application.
In order to figure this out, you can put mouse cursor in one of the field in the UI and then press F2.
Then you can go to SM30 in SAP GUI open the View BSPDLCV_OBJ_TYPE and search for the UI object type.
Select the UI object type and see whether any enhanced BO is defined.
In your case it should be empty, otherwise you can use AET in IC.
And if it is empty we need to figure out which enhanced BO is relevant for the given UI Object Type.
Regards,
Steve
P.S. But still you can raise a CSN message.
The "Create New Field" should be in active mode.
